RIU Explorers Conference Presentation – The Muckanippie Titanium Project Discovery

Petratherm Limited (ASX: PTR) (“ PTR ” or “ the Company ”) is pleased to release the following Company Presentation for the RIU Fremantle Explorers Conference (18-20 February 2025). Petratherm’s exploration Manager Mr Barry van der Stelt will today present an update on PTR’s recent high-grade heavy mineral sand (HMS) discovery at its Muckanippie Project area southwest of Coober Pedy in South Australia.

Exploration has uncovered significant concentrations of titanium rich heavy mineral sands (HMS) over large areas. Results from 45 drill holes at Rosewood confirm titanium rich Heavy Mineral Sand Mineralisation extends over at least a 15 square kilometre area and remains open[1] . Mineralisation is open to the north in all drill traverses, as well as to the west and east, with some of the most significant and thickest high grade intercepts occurring at the end of current drill traverses requiring follow-up extension drilling[1] . Mineralogy results to date indicate Rosewood HM sands have on average >95% Valuable Heavy Mineral content, composed primarily of high value titanium ores – rutile product (high-titanium leucoxene and rutile) and pseudorutile[2] .

The mineral sands are sourced from the weathering of a major intrusive complex, the Muckanippie Suite, which is highly enriched in titanium minerals and offers potential for additional titanium deposits hosted within the saprolite and basement horizons separate to the Rosewood HMS Discovery. 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.
