Petratherm Limited ( ASX: PTR ) ( PTR or the Company ) is pleased to present its Quarterly Activities Report for the period ended 31 March 2025 ( March Quarter ). The Company has built an enviable project portfolio in South Australia focused on critical minerals and copper. Key activities during the quarter were centred on continuing to unlock the recently discovered titanium rich Heavy Mineral Sands (HMS) potential at the Muckanippie Critical Minerals Project.

Petratherm’s Chief Executive Officer, Peter Reid, commented:

“Following the exciting discovery of titanium-rich Heavy Mineral Sands at the Muckanippie Project in September 2024, we are highly focused on rapidly unlocking its full potential with work programs over the March quarter full steam ahead at both the Rosewood and other titanium prospects within the broader Muckanippie Project area.

“Results across all these early-stage work streams are indicating we have a highly significant titanium project at Rosewood.

“There is potential for scale with Phase 1 drilling confirming the Rosewood mineralisation extends over at least 15 square kilometres and remains open to the north, which we are following up in the Phase 2 drill program that commenced late in the quarter.

“There is potential for high value products with mineral assemblage analysis identifying exceptionally pure high value titanium ores and no deleterious minerals.

“There is also potential for the heavy minerals to be highly amenable to conventional gravity spiral processing with initial size analysis confirming 90% of the HM concentrate is greater than 75 microns in size and the median grain size is very course at 279 microns.

“The combination of these results is extremely encouraging and, with boosted funding following the recent strongly supported share placement, we look forward to updating shareholders further as we continue key work programs including the phase 2 drilling and associated test work over the coming months.”

About the Muckanippie Project

The Company’s Muckanippie Project is located in the northern Gawler Craton of South Australia and hosts the recent Rosewood Titanium Discovery and other titanium prospect sites (Figures 1 & 2). At Rosewood, the Company has reported highly encouraging heavy mineral (HM) drill intercepts over a continuous 15km[2] area, which remains open in multiple directions[1,2] . Mineralogy results from the Rosewood East area have indicated HM sands with >95% Valuable Heavy Mineral content, composed primarily of high value titanium minerals – rutile product (high-titanium leucoxene and rutile) and pseudorutile[3] . Most recently, results from sizing analysis indicate the HM is coarse grained and highly amenable to producing excellent mineral recoveries using conventional gravity spiral processing techniques[4] . The Muckanippie Titanium Project contains both 100% owned Petratherm tenure and the JV tenement EL 6715, owned by Narryer Metals Limited (ASX:NYM)[5] .

The Australian Government along with the United States, the European Union, India, Japan, South Korea and the United Kingdom designated Titanium as a critical mineral for essential modern technologies, economies and national security. Titanium has uses in electric vehicles and battery storage, wind technology, pigments, and as an alloy in steel and superalloys. The global market size of titanium in 2022 amounted to 28.6 billion U.S. dollars and is forecast to grow over the coming years, to nearly 52 billion U.S. dollars in 2030[6] .

Initial Heavy Minerals Assemblage Analysis

During the reporting period, the Company undertook initial mineralogical modal analysis of samples from the Rosewood Prospect to determine the nature of the heavy minerals present[8] . Samples were selected from high, medium and low grade HM concentrates and from different geological horizons to help characterise the ore zones and identify geological patterns.

Results from this work are extremely encouraging, with the majority of samples returning >97.9% Valuable Heavy Minerals (VHM) in the form of titanium oxides with no deleterious minerals present (Table 1, Table 2 & Table 3). Titanium oxides observed included rutile, leucoxene (composed mainly of agglomerations of rutile and anatase) and pseudorutile (a highly altered ilmenite, upgraded in its titanium content). Further to this work, Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) analysis was undertaken on thirty titanium oxide grains from each of the 12 samples. This work was used to confirm the results of the modal analysis and to quantify the TiO2 content of the various titanium oxide species observed (Photo 1). Rutile product contents reported are the sum of rutile, anatase and high-titanium leucoxene contents.

Using a combination of the modal analysis, SEM work and geological logging, three main zones have been identified at the Rosewood Prospect and are discussed below.

Main Zone

Seven of the twelve samples submitted for mineralogy analysis were selected from the Main Zone of HM mineralisation (Figure 3). On the section where the samples were obtained, the Main Zone occurs over a strike length of 1.6 kilometres and is open to the north. On this section, the Main Zone HM mineralisation ranges from 10 metres to 17 metres thickness and averages 9.1% HM content. Six of the seven samples submitted for mineralogy analysis returned extremely high VHM contents ranging between 97.9% and 98.9%. The only sample outside of this range returned 79.5% VHM content with most of the ‘other’ material being composed of iron oxide minerals.

Encouragingly, in the Main Zone, the rutile product content grades returned are very high, ranging between 9.0% and 64.2%, and averaging 25.3% (Table 1). SEM analysis of these grains returned a TiO2 grade of 93.0%, which is extremely close to that of pure rutile. Most of the other VHM in the Main Zone is composed of pseudorutile, which averages 69.5% of the HM content. Also encouragingly, the pseudorutile is high in TiO2, averaging 75.4% TiO2. Forty-three of the pseudorutile grains returned TiO2 contents greater than 80%. Further

work is required to determine if these grains can be separated from the other pseudorutile grains to produce a separate ore concentrate. Minor zircon (2.9%) was also present in one of the samples.

South of the Main Zone is the South Pseudorutile Zone (SPZ). Three samples were selected from this zone, all from drill hole 24RW020. This drillhole returned a very thick, high grade HM result of 22 metres at 19.1% HM. All samples returned very high VHM grades, primarily composed of pseudorutile (83.6-97.7%) with the remainder almost exclusively rutile product.

North Zircon Zone

At the northern end of the traverse and below the Main Zone there is a zircon-bearing sediment which is represented in drill hole 24RW011. This unit is finer grained and has a relatively low HM content (8 metres averaging 0.85% HM content). Despite the low HM grades, this unit is of interest due to the high zircon values. The two samples from this zone returned 20.9% and 14.5% zircon, as well as high rutile product (77.8% and 26.0% respectively). This zone is open to the north and further drilling is required to test for higher HM grades nearby.

Rosewood Prospect Drilling

During October 2024, the Company undertook a 100 hole vertical air-core drill program totalling 3,392 metres to test for titanium-bearing HM mineralisation at the Muckanippie Project (Figure 2). As part of this program, 50 holes totalling 1,697 metres were drilled at the Rosewood Prospect, with initial HM assays returning exceptional results including 22m @ 19.1% HM from 8 metres in drill hole 24RW020[9] . Results from the remaining 45 drill holes confirm that the mineralised zone continues over an area of at least 15 square kilometres (15 km[2] ) and is open in three directions (Figure 4).

Rosewood Exploration Results

At Rosewood drilling focused on extending mineralisation from the southern edge, where it outcrops in places, northwards where it extends under very thin cover (Figure 4). All fifty holes drilled at Rosewood intersected the target host sediments, a silt, sand and clay rich sequence interpreted to be fluvio-deltaic in origin. 90% of the holes drilled intersected at least 5 metres of >5% HM and 76% intersected at least 10m @ 5% HM, with multiple spectacular intercepts (Table 4).

The current drilled mineralised area extends across an 8 kilometre east-west extent, and widths range between 500 metres to 2,200 metres in a north-south direction. Based on using a simple 5 metres of >5% HM outline from the drilling to date, the mineralisation occurs over a continuous 15 square kilometre area. Significantly, mineralisation is open to the north on all drill traverses, with many of the northern holes returning thick intercepts.

QUARTERLY ACTIVITIES REPORT 30 April 2025

==> picture [81 x 36] intentionally omitted <==

PTR previously reported re-logging and assaying of historical CAR series drillholes which confirm that HM bearing sediments continue up to three kilometres north of current drilling (Figure 4) [Error! Bookmark not defined.] .

It is noteworthy that the northern most hole drilled, 24RW036, returned an exceptional intercept of 16 metres grading 12.1% HM starting from 14 metres and including 8 metres at 19.6% HM. Similarly, mineralisation is open to the west and to the east with holes on the most western and eastern traverses containing consistent mineralisation, including 14m @ 8.5% HM from surface in 24RW038 and 9m @ 5.3% HM from 13 metres in 24RW044 respectively.

Mineralisation starts at shallow depths across the Rosewood Prospect, typically ranging from 0 to 14 metres, and has an average starting depth of 5.7 metres across all holes containing significant intercepts. Average drill intercept thickness’s and HM content across the whole prospect, using a 2% HM cut-off, produces an average interval thickness of 12.2 metres and an average intercept grade of 8.0 % HM. As a cautionary note, the potential average thickness and grade should only be considered an approximate guide due to the current wide and variable drill hole spacing.

Heavy Mineral Sizing Analysis

A HM composite sample was prepared from 20 metres of representative samples across four different drill holes from the eastern part of the known Rosewood mineralised zone (Figure 4). The average HM grade of the 20 samples submitted was 15.2% HM. These individual samples were sent to IHC Mining in Brisbane, an independent heavy mineral exploration and evaluation specialist, where the samples were combined into a single composite sample and subjected to PSD work via dry screening. The data (Figure 7) shows that 90% of the sample submitted was greater than 75µm (microns) in size and that the median particle size (p50) was 279µm[10] .

The resultant PSD is broad (Figure 7) which is not typical of HM deposits and reflects the unique geological setting of the Rosewood Project. It is interpreted that the HM has been sourced from the weathering and break down of the surrounding highly titaniferous Muckanippie Suite basement rock and has not travelled far before deposition in an interpreted fluvio-deltaic environment. These results confirm the Rosewood HM is coarse grained and highly amenable to produce excellent mineral recoveries using conventional gravity spiral processing techniques.

Muckanippie Project - Greenfields Drilling

During October 2024, the Company drilled 49 holes totalling 1,652 metres at 10 targets with the potential to host titanium-bearing Heavy Minerals (Figure 8)[11] . Anomalous titanium assays were intercepted at eight of the targets tested. From these targets, four drillholes were selected for trial Heavy Mineral Separation to test for the presence of titaniferous Valuable Heavy Minerals (VHMs). All four holes selected returned exceptional HM results presented in Table 5. Semi-quantitative visual logging of the HM concentrates was undertaken by Diamantina Laboratories and indicate an ilmenite dominant ore (Table 5).

  • Cautionary Note: Visual estimates of mineral abundance should never be considered a proxy or substitute for laboratory analyses where concentrations or grades are the factor of principal economic interest. Visual estimates also potentially provide no information regarding impurities or deleterious physical properties relevant to valuations. The Valuable HMC Mineralogy is a semi-quantitative mineral counting method undertaken by an experience independent mineralogist with a reported accuracy of ± 5%.

Duke and Nardoo Prospects

HM mineralisation at Duke and Nardoo Prospects are formed from the deep weathering of a titanium rich basement horizon easily traceable from aeromagnetic data (Figure 8 and Figure 11). The magnetic trend extends over an interpreted 16 kilometres on PTR’s licence area, and potential exists for this entire trend to be mineralised. The Duke and Nardoo Prospects were drilled to test different parts of the magnetic trend, 5 kilometres apart. At both Duke and Nardoo, HM mineralisation starts at surface and continues to end of hole (air core blade refusal). Drill cross sections are presented in Figures 9 and 10[13] .

At Nardoo, exceptional grades were encountered over the entire length of the hole, returning 44 metres at 29.4% HM. Diamantina Laboratories conducted visual logging of the HM concentrates from Nardoo which returned high ilmenite concentrations (averaging 45.1% of HM) with additional credits of high-value leucoxene (averaging 5.0% of HM). At Duke, deep weathering produced a very thick HM saprolite sequence of 61 metres averaging 19.7% HM. Encouragingly, visual logging of the Duke HM concentrates also returned high ilmenite concentrations averaging 31.3% of HM and leucoxene averaging 5.3% of HM concentrates.

Claypan Prospect

Six different saprolitic/weathering targets were tested in the Claypan area (Figure 14). High titanium assays were returned from five of these targets, most notably from those around the southern rim of the targeted magnetic feature. Two holes were selected for initial HM assaying, both returning exceptional results. Drill hole 24CP004 returned 48 metres at 23.5% HM (including 8 metres at 29.7% HM) and drill hole 24CP009 returned 45 metres at 27.0% HM . Cross sections for these holes are presented in Figures 12 and 13. Similar or better TiO2 assays in other holes on these sections suggest that the HM mineralisation is open in all directions.

Visual logging of the HM concentrates returned very high grades of titanium-bearing minerals. Drill hole 24CP004 averaged an exceptional 58% ilmenite for the HM zone along with 4.3% leucoxene credits giving a total VHM content of 62.7%. Drill hole 24CP009 averaged 33.8% ilmenite and 4.8% leucoxene in the HM zone. The drill hole immediately to the east, 24CP008, returned a thicker intercept with a higher TiO2 grade. HM mineralogy results (pending) are therefore anticipated to be better here, warranting additional drilling follow up.

Phase 2 Drill Program

The Company announced commencement of the Phase 2 drill program at the Rosewood Titanium Discovery near the end of the period.[ 14] In total, 128 air-core holes were drilled for a total of 4,486m and were completed in April. At Rosewood, 73 drill holes were completed for a total of 2,225 metres, testing extensions of the heavy mineral mineralisation across a 9-kilometre east-west trend. Multiple north-south drill lines were extended northwards up to 1.6 kilometres (Figure 2) north of the currently defined mineralised outline.

At the Duke, Nardoo and Claypan Prospects, away from the Rosewood Heavy Mineral Sands Discovery, drilling included additional drill traverses at each of these prospects, testing extensions of the mineralisation and collecting enough sample for mineralogical and metallurgical testing. A total of 55 drill holes for 2,261 metres have been drilled for this style of mineralisation. Samples have been dispatched for Heavy Mineral Analysis and are expected in the next quarter.

In addition to exploration drilling, an approximate 1-tonne bulk sample was collected from the mineralised interval within the Rosewood East area for metallurgical testwork. A representative sample was composited from 8 holes spaced 200 metres apart along a 1.4-kilometre trend (Figure 2). The bulk sample will be processed by IHC Mining in Brisbane using a wet concentrator plant, followed by magnetic and electrostatic separation to produce HM concentrates. The study aims to inform mineral recovery processing and final mineral products.

Copper – Gold Projects

No groundwork was undertaken on Petratherm’s Woomera and Mabel Creek Copper-Gold Projects during the quarter.

Corporate

The Company had exploration and evaluation costs of $278,000 relating principally to drilling and assaying activities at the Muckanippie Project. Administration and corporate costs totalled $390,000. The Company held $9,289,000 cash at the end of the Period.

Petratherm completed a share placement during the quarter that was strongly supported by existing and new investors, including several funds and institutions. Directors and management committed to contribute a total of $272,000, with Director participation of $220,000 subject to shareholder approval.

The Placement, at an issue price of $0.22 (22 cents), is comprised of the issue of 35.8 million ordinary shares to sophisticated, professional and institutional investors identified by the sole Lead Manager, Taylor Collison Limited, and 1 million ordinary shares to Directors, conditional on the approval of the Company’s shareholders under ASX Listing Rule 10.11.

The proceeds of the placement will be used for exploration drilling operations at Muckanippie, advancing metallurgical test work, as well as providing for general working capital and costs of the offer.

Post quarter end the Company announced the appointment of Mr Rob Sennitt as Executive Director effective 1 May 2025. Rob brings over 30 years of executive and financial markets experience in the resources sector to complement the Petratherm team.

In accordance with ASX Listing Rules Guidance Note 23, the aggregate number of payments to related parties of the Company and its associates disclosed under section 6.1 of the Appendix 5B totalled $47,202 and comprised of Director’s fees.
