Significant Project Expansion Defines New Copper-Gold Targets at Mabel Creek
Highlights
-
Mabel Creek Project expands by 470 km[2] with the granting of the ‘Dean Bore’ (EL 6919) tenement, which is highly prospective for Iron-Oxide Copper-Gold (IOCG) mineralisation.
-
Two large Exploration Licence Applications (ELA) registered, covering a total of 1,263km[2 ] over a newly identified prospective IOCG fertile zone.
-
Evaluation of historical drill core from the BigNE Target confirms the presence of late iron rich alteration, which is consistent with the Olympic Province IOCG alteration.
-
Gravity modelling of the BigNE target has defined two high-priority targets prospective for copper-gold.
-
A precision ground gravity survey is planned for late August to assist with final modelling before drilling of at least three IOCG targets scheduled for early-mid October.
Petratherm Limited (ASX: PTR) ( PTR or the Company ) is pleased to announce a major expansion of its ground position at the Mabel Creek Project, located along the northern reaches of the Olympic Copper-Gold Province in South Australia. The Company has been granted the Dean Bore (EL 6919) tenement, which adds an additional 470km[2] at Mabel Creek, and also has registered two large ELA’s covering 1,263km[2] over a newly identified prospective Iron-Oxide Copper-Gold (IOCG) fertile zone (Figure 1).
PTR’s Chief Executive Officer, Peter Reid commented:
“The granting of the Dean Bore tenement further strengthens the Company’s ground position in the world class Olympic Province. Importantly, recently completed gravity modelling over the BigNE target has produced two high-priority targets that we anticipate drilling later this year.
“The two high-priority targets will be followed up with a precision ground gravity survey to assist with modelling before drill testing of the three most prospective targets in October.
“I look forward to updating the market further with results from the precision ground gravity survey in the lead up to drilling over the coming months.”

New Ground Acquisition and Recognition of IOCG Alteration
The Dean Bore tenement provides an additional 470km[2] along PTR’s northern Mabel Creek tenement holding (Figure 1). Dean Bore contains the historic BigNE target, a regionally prominent, partly overlapping gravity and magnetic complex spanning a 7 kilometre by 4 kilometre area (Figure 2). The main gravity anomaly has an approximate 6 mGals amplitude, centred immediately east of the main magnetic high, which is a large amplitude (1,500nTs) linear anomaly.

Limited historical drilling was completed across the BigNE target by Alliance Resources in the early 2000’s (Figure 2). This indicated that the area has been subjected to a mineralising iron-oxide (hematite) alteration event[1] . Drillholes ABNE 2 & BNE05/BNE05X intersected two intervals of relatively strong hematite development within altered meta-sediments (Figures 3 & 4). Anomalous copper assays were recorded up to 0.32% over short intervals within the iron rich alteration zones (see Table 1 of anomalous copper results and Figure 2 for map of hole locations).

Re-evaluation of the ABNE 2 drill core by PTR staff and an independent IOCG specialist consultant confirmed the presence of iron-rich veins and pervasive iron-alteration, associated with brecciation and extension at a high crustal level. The hydrothermal alteration event is clearly younger than deformed host rocks. This is consistent with classic IOCG alteration in the Olympic Province.
A key additional finding is that the host sequences at BigNE comprise fine-grained laminated sedimentary rocks of probable Wallaroo Group equivalent strata that have not been previously recognised in the region. The Wallaroo Group is the host sequence to numerous IOCG mineralised occurrences in the Olympic Province such as at the Prominent Hill Mine, Emmie IOCG and Winjabbie Prospects. This observation and overprinting iron alteration demonstrates the eastern Mabel Creek Area has upper crustal levels present, which may be critical for the preservation of IOCG mineralisation in the area.
Geophysical interpretations undertaken by PTR suggest that east of the major Wirracanna Structure (Figure 1), more of these higher-level crustal rock sequences may be present. The Wirracanna Structure has been previously identified by PTR as having the potential to be a significant pathway for mineralising fluids. As a result PTR has registered two large exploration licence application areas (ELA 2023/00028 & ELA 2023/00029) over the newly identified prospective IOCG region (Figure 1). The total area of these new applications is 1,263 km[2] . PTR will undertake tenement wide gravity surveying upon grant of these leases, expected later in the year.

Gravity Targeting
Compilation and re-gridding of historical gravity data has been completed to assess and model the BigNE gravity feature and immediate surrounds more closely (Figure 2). Survey coverage is highly variable ranging from poor (> 2 kilometre spacing) to good (200 metre spacing) over the majority of the BigNE Prospect. The new gravity mesh highlights the extent of the BigNE gravity anomaly and an additional prominent southern satellite gravity anomaly (Figure 2) straddling PTR’s EL 6919 and EL 6405.
Historical drilling tested the combined magnetic and gravity targets on the western half of BigNE Prospect, with drillholes ABNE 2 and BNE05/BNE05X recording the strongest level of IOCG alteration. The main gravity target extends an approximate 2 kilometres further east where there is no significant magnetic response, and this area remains to be drill tested. Similarly, the southern satellite gravity anomaly is a gravity only feature and has not been drill tested.
IOCG style mineralisation, such as at Olympic Dam, Carrapateena, Prominent Hill and Oak Dam in the Olympic Domain of South Australia is hematite dominated with little to no magnetic response but produces a strong gravity anomaly response. These two untested “gravity only” anomalies at BigNE are therefore a high priority for future drill testing. Infill and regional gravity surveying is scheduled for late August to assist final modelling of the gravity anomalies and to undertake assessment of surrounding areas for new targets.

Future Drilling Operations
In May, PTR announced the Olympus Target[2] (Figure 5), a combined gravity and EM conductivity anomaly that extends over 2 kilometres and is located along the Wirracanna Structure, further to the southeast of the BigNE area gravity targets (Figure 1). Drill planning and contracting works are advanced, and PTR intends to mobilise a rig to test the Olympus Target and the two gravity only targets identified at BigNE starting from October. Further details will be provided once contracts and final approvals have been completed.

About Petratherm Limited
Petratherm Limited (ASX: PTR) is a critical minerals explorer focused on the discovery of world-class copper-gold and rare earth deposits. The Company has several advanced drill ready projects in the Olympic Copper-Gold Domain of South Australia. PTR recently announced the discovery of significant concentrations of rare earths hosted in clays in the Northern Gawler Craton of South Australia which are undergoing further drill testing.
Exploration drilling at the Comet Project Area has delineated two major REE occurrences. The Meteor and Artemis REE prospects both occur at very shallow depths, include high-grade blankets of mineralisation showing good lateral extent and ore thickness. Less than 10% of the project area has been explored for REE’s and a systematic program of advancement of current prospects, testing of new areas and metallurgical recovery test work is ongoing.
PTR has several exciting copper-gold targets at its Mabel Creek and Woomera Projects located within the Olympic Copper-Gold Tend. Targeting work has defined several compelling Tier 1 Copper-Gold targets and PTR anticipates drill testing of targets will begin from late in 2023 calendar period.
