ASX ANNOUNCEMENT

13/09/2022

PTR COMPANY PRESENTATION -

Critical Minerals Portfolio Positioned for Growth

Petratherm Limited (ASX: PTR ) is pleased to provide the following Company Presentation summarising current on ground and future exploration, latest results, and target modelling. The Company is in a strong position with the discovery of major high-grade rare earth occurrences at shallow depth in the Northern Gawler Craton of South Australia and is working towards defining initial JORC Resources over the coming months. PTR has a large land position in the Northern Gawler Craton, over areas where primary rare earth mineralisation has been detected, offering great potential for new rare earth discoveries.

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.

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 – interpreted to be 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!)

Adamas Intelligence (April 2022) - Rare Earth Magnet Market Outlook to 2035

Nd/Pr Supply Shortfall

Global consumption of NdFeB magnets jumped 18.1% in 2021. From 2022 through 2035 Adamas forecast global demand for NdFeB magnets will increase at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 8.6%, bolstered by double-digit growth from electric vehicle and wind power sectors, translating to comparable demand growth for the rare earths elements (i.e., neodymium, praseodymium, dysprosium and terbium) these magnets contain.

Over the same period, Adamas forecast that global production of neodymium, praseodymium, dysprosium and terbium will collectively increase at a slower CAGR of just 5.4% as the supply side of the market increasingly struggles to keep up with rapidly growing demand.
