ASX ANNOUNCEMENT 16 June 2021

Woomera IOCG Project Acquired close to Emmie Bluff Deeps Discovery

Petratherm Limited (“Petratherm” or “the Company”) (ASX: PTR) is pleased to announce that it has secured a prospective ground position, close to Coda Minerals recent Emmie Bluff Deeps Prospect Iron-Oxide Copper-Gold (IOCG) discovery (Refer to Coda Minerals (ASX: COD) 09/06/21 ASX release) near Woomera in South Australia (Figure 1). The new Licence Application (ELA 2021/00066), Woomera Project, covers an approximate 205 km[2] area. Open file historical company reporting additionally record significant historical copper drill intersections from two drill holes just north of the new tenement area (Figure 2).

Drill hole WJD1 drilled by Western Mining, testing a magnetic anomaly in 1980, intersected interpreted IOCG related iron formation strata which returned 62m @ 0.33% Cu from 864m . In 1990, MIM, testing a second magnetic feature (drill hole SAE 11) approximately 2.8 km west-southwest of WJD1 (Figure2) and only 960 metres north of the new tenement application (Figure 2), returned further significant copper mineralisation summarised below:

MIM drill hole SAE11 Significant Copper Intersections:

94m @ 0.21% Cu (interval 1005-1099m)

and,

Including 7m @ 0.48% Cu from 1006m Including 9m @ 0.52% Cu from 1086m 42m @ 0.28% Cu (Interval 1123 - 1165metres) Including 5m @ 1.1% Cu from 1160m

The exploration licence is expected to be granted later in the year and the Company is in the process of reprocessing existing open file magnetic and gravity data to aid determination of initial focus areas for ground operations and to begin Native Title proceedings. The Company is very pleased to be able to secure a significant holding in the Woomera sub-region which is proving very fertile for significant IOCG style mineralisation, with not only the new Emmie Bluff Deeps Discovery, but also includes BHP’s recent Oak Dam West Discovery and OZ Minerals’ newly operating world-class Carrapateena Cu-Au deposit (Figure 1). The Company will provide additional project detail once geophysical modelling has been completed. This ASX announcement has been approved by Petratherm’s Board of Directors and authorised for release by Petratherm’s Chairman Derek Carter.

Competent Persons Statement: The information in this report that relates to Exploration Targets and Exploration Results is based on information compiled by Mr Peter Reid, who is a Competent Person, and a Member of the Australian Institute of Geoscientists. Mr Reid is not aware of any new information or data that materially affects the historical exploration results included in this report. Mr Reid is an employee of Petratherm Ltd. Mr Reid has sufficient experience that is relevant to the style of mineralisation and type of deposit under consideration and to the activity being undertaken to qualify as a Competent Person as defined in the 2012 Edition of the ‘Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves’. Mr Reid consents to the inclusion in the report of the matters based on his information in the form and context in which it appears.
