ASX ANNOUNCEMENT

02/12/2022

PTR COMPANY PRESENTATION -

Critical Minerals Portfolio Positioned for Growth

The following is a presentation by Petratherm Limited’s (ASX: PTR ), Exploration Manager, Peter Reid to the South Australian Exploration and Mineral Resource Conference, held in Adelaide today 2[nd] December 2022. The talk summarises current on ground and future exploration, latest results, and target modelling.

The Company is in a strong position with the uncovering of major high-grade rare earth occurrences at shallow depth in the Northern Gawler Craton of South Australia, with follow up drilling activities currently underway (PTR ASX release 24/11/22).

At Muckanippie, the Company is conducting work over a large anorthosite complex which shows evidence for titanium, magnetite iron, rare earths, and phosphate (PTR ASX release 14/11/22).

In addition, PTR has a strong Iron-Oxide Copper-Gold (IOCG) Project Portfolio in the heartland of the World-Class Olympic Domain of South Australia close to operating mines and recent major discoveries. Targeting work has defined several compelling IOCG targets which PTR anticipates will be drilled in the first half of the 2023 calendar period (PTR ASX release 28/10/22).

This ASX announcement has been approved by Petratherm’s Board of Directors and authorised for release by Petratherm’s Chairman Derek Carter.

WOOMERA IOCG PROJECT

3 Distinct Styles of Mineralisation !

  • Target 1 - IOCG Breccia Bodies – Cu-Au-Ag-U (i.e. Olympic Dam / Carrapateena / Oak Dam & Prominent Hill)

  • Target 2 - Stratabound IOCG’s – Cu-Au-Co (i.e. Emmie Bluff Deeps, Punt Hill & Hillside)

  • Target 3 - Stratabound Cu-Au-Co in overlying cover rocks (i.e. Mt Gunson & Emmie Bluff – potentially remobilised from IOCG basement below !)

Significant historical IOCG copper intersections adjacent to Petratherm’s Woomera Exploration Licence Area overlain on a Residual Gravity Image. High gravity areas may indicate zones of stratabound and breccia mineralization

WOOMERA IOCG PROJECT – TARGET 1 COMPARISON WITH CARAPATEENA

  • Target 1 is an IOCG Breccia Body Target – Displays a Comparable gravity response to the Carrapateena Orebody !

  • Steep gravity gradient on

west side of Target 1 may indicate additional shallow Stratabound mineralisation in the overlying cover strata. ( i.e. Emmie Bluff, Mt Gunson Style Cu-Au-Co mineralisation potential also!)
