PTR strikes ‘best results’ from Rosewood drilling

PTR Minerals (ASX:PTR) has returned its “best results recorded to date” from batch three of resource drilling assays from the Rosewood Titanium Project in the northern Gawler Craton region of South Australia.

Assays include 32m @ 13% heavy minerals from 10m, including 4m @ 27.7% heavy minerals from 32m; 33m @ 15.7% heavy minerals from 10m, including 2m @ 33.6% heavy minerals from 13m; and 33m @ 13.9% heavy minerals from 12m, including 9m @ 21% heavy minerals from 12m.

PTR conducted drilling across 446 holes for 9,388m for a resource estimate, which is due in Q2 2026. To date, the company has only received one third of assay results.

Batch three assays are sourced from 71 drillholes in the Rosewood East area of the greater project.

CEO Peter Reid says the results from batch three are “headlined by the best drill intercept recorded at Rosewood to date in drillhole 25RW214”.

“With such consistent, thick and high-grade mineralisation starting from very shallow depths, the project continues to exceed our expectations in respect of both scale and grade,” Reid says.

“These results continue to provide great confidence in the quality of the mineralisation as we work through the resource modelling.”

PTR Minerals is a critical minerals explorer, focused on quality deposits in South Australia.

The company presented today (day one) of the RIU Explorers Conference in Fremantle, Western Australia, held from 17-19 February 2026. Mining.com.au is a media partner for the conference.
