Conference Presentation - PTR Positioned for Growth

Petratherm Limited (ASX: PTR) (PTR or the Company) is pleased to release the following presentation that Chief Executive Officer, Peter Reid, will be presenting at the RIU Gold Coast Investment Showcase on Wednesday 21 June 2023. PTR is a critical minerals explorer focused on the discovery of world-class copper-gold and rare earth (REE) deposits.

Exploration drilling at the Comet Project Area has delineated two major REE occurrences. The Meteor and Artemis REE prospects 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. The latest round of exploration drilling has recently been completed with with assay results due in approximately 6-8 weeks-time[1] .

PTR has several exciting copper-gold targets at its Mabel Creek and Woomera Projects located within the Olympic Copper-Gold Province. Targeting work has defined several compelling Tier 1 CopperGold targets and PTR anticipates drill testing of targets will begin from late in 2023 calendar period[2,3] .

This announcement has been authorised for release on the ASX by the Company’s Board of Directors.
