Petratherm Limited has reported encouraging drilling results from its Rosewood heavy mineral prospect in South Australia. The company has completed 73 air core drill holes during April, with the first batch of 10 holes returning standout intercepts, including 26 metres at 17.2% heavy mineral (HM) and a particularly high sub-interval of 6 metres at 36.4% HM. These impressive grades and thicknesses extend the high-grade mineralisation an additional 1.6 kilometres northwards, resulting in a mineralised area that now spans approximately 3.6 kilometres in a north-south direction. The drilling program, which is part of a wider 128-hole campaign totaling 4,486 metres, confirms the presence of widespread, shallow, high-grade HM mineralisation over an area exceeding 15 square kilometres. Notably, the drilling at Rosewood East has shown a continuous HM layer that begins at shallow depths—averaging around 5.7 metres—and remains open for extension further to the north. Assay results demonstrate an extremely high Valuable Heavy Mineral (VHM) content, averaging over 95%, with the mineral assemblage dominated by high titanium dioxide minerals. Looking ahead, the company will soon begin bulk sample test work to inform its separation processing and to produce initial HM sample products. Results from another 63 Phase 2 drill holes, along with further drilling from additional prospects within the project, are expected in the coming weeks. Future exploration plans, including a Phase 3 program, will aim to further delineate and extend the mineralisation, guided by these promising results. From a bullish perspective, these developments suggest strong potential for a significant resource expansion, underpinned by consistent high-grade intercepts and a large, continuous zone of HM mineralisation. The high VHM content and the early success in both drilling and bulk sampling indicate that future metallurgical tests could validate the commercial viability of the project. On the bearish side, the project remains at an early exploration stage, with pending assay results from numerous drill holes and further metallurgical testing required to translate these promising intercepts into a viable mining operation. Ultimately, while the technical indicators point to a robust discovery, market participants should be mindful of the inherent risks associated with early-stage exploration projects.
