Exploration results and future plans

Petratherm has reported high-grade heavy mineral concentrations from the Rosewood Prospect, with notable drill intercepts showing up to 39.7% HM. The presence of valuable minerals like Leucoxene and Rutile enhances the project's potential. With further results expected from 45 additional drill holes, Petratherm plans more detailed analysis and additional drilling in the coming year. The discovery aligns with global interests in critical minerals, especially titanium, which is essential for modern technologies. Petratherm's strategic focus now includes further exploration and leveraging this significant find to meet global mineral demands.

Executive insights from Petratherm

The results from the initial step-out drilling at Rosewood Prospect are very encouraging and highlight the significant potential of the area.
