RIU Sydney Resources Round-up Presentation – Copper Focused Critical Minerals Explorer
Petratherm Limited (ASX: PTR) (“ PTR ” or “ the Company ”) is pleased to release the following Company Presentation for the RIU Sydney Resources Round-up Conference (7-9 May 2024).
PTR is a copper and critical minerals explorer focused on the discovery of world-class deposits in both frontier and mature mineral provinces. The Company has two major exploration projects in the Olympic Copper-Gold Province of South Australia. Work in the region has uncovered Iron-Oxide Copper-Gold style alteration/mineralisation at both its Mabel Creek and Woomera Project Areas. Geophysical targeting work has defined several compelling Tier-1 Copper-Gold targets which the Company is planning to drill test during the 2024 calendar period.
In addition, PTR has a major project holding in the northern Gawler Craton of South Australia. Recent exploration has uncovered significant concentrations of rare earths over large areas at several prospect sites. The rare earths are associated with a major intrusive complex, which has been found to be highly prospective for other critical minerals including Platinum Group Elements, Vanadium, and Titanium. At the Muckanippie Project area high concentrations of the critical minerals titanium and vanadium have been identified. This is an early-stage Greenfields project with exceptional upside potential.
This announcement has been authorised for release on the ASX by the Company’s Board of Directors.

Use magnetic modelling to identify and constrain mafic (Gairdner) dykes.
-
Apply known (from historic drill core) SG data of cover, basement and intrusive rocks to the model and compare with measured gravity data.
-
Add additional dense bodies to correct
discrepancies (using constraints on body depth, density etc).
-
Modelled body has an SG of 3.4. g/cm[3] – equal to published data from Oak Dam, Carrapateena and Prominent Hill IOCG Bodies.
-
Body dimensions are 400m wide by 2800m length, with depth extent of 1000m, target depth 850m.
