Petratherm Launches 4,000-Metre Drilling Campaign at Muckanippie Titanium Project

Oct 15, 2024

Petratherm Limited (ASX: PTR) has commenced a 4,000-metre drilling program at its Muckanippie Titanium Project in South Australia’s northern Gawler Craton. The exploration focuses on the Rosewood and Claypan prospects, targeting titanium-rich heavy mineral sands (HMS) spanning several square kilometers. Deeper drilling at Claypan will assess Titanium-Vanadium-rich basement rocks for vanadiferous titanomagnetite (VTM) deposits. Drilling depths will range from 30-70 meters, with tighter spacing in zones of interest.

Initial assay results are expected by late November 2024. Earlier exploration reported high titanium dioxide (TiO₂) grades (10-50%) near the surface, with significant vanadium potential in the basement rock. The project, including a joint venture with Narryer Metals (ASX: NYM), reflects the area's potential to become a major source of critical minerals. Petratherm, which is also focused on copper-gold exploration, aims to assess the economic viability of the mineralization at Muckanippie through this drilling campaign.
