ASX Announcement (ASX: HMX)

September 14[th] 2016

Millennium and Scalper Cobalt-Copper

Drilling Results

Hammer Metals Limited (ASX: HMX) wishes to update shareholders on progress with its 100% owned Millennium and Scalper Projects.

Hammer drilled a total of 23 RC holes and extended two previous holes at Millennium. The results build on previous drilling conducted in the area and 38 drill-holes can now be used in the first JORCcompliant mineral resource estimate for the project.

Significant results from Millennium are listed below with peak cobalt results including 8 metres at 0.35% Co in MIRC023 and 4 metres at 0.51% Co in MIRC013.

Also of interest was a new zone of highly anomalous silver from MIRC019 with 10 metres at 40g/t Ag including 1 metre at 337g/t Ag.

Results for holes MIRC001 to MIRC 016 were reported by Hammer on the 13[th] of September. Significant results from this release reported at a nominal 0.3% CuEq* cutoff include:

  • 24 metres from 73 metres at 0.15% Co , 0.23% Cu and 0.09g/t Au (1.17%CuEq) including o 4 metres from 73 metres at 0.51% Co , 0.46% Cu and 0.16g/t Au (3.64% CuEq) in MIRC013

  • 13 metres from 98 metres at 0.10% Co , 0.41% Cu and 0.10g/t Au (1.12% CuEq) in MIRC007

  • 12 metres from 149 metres at 0.19% Co , 0.57% Cu and 0.19g/t Au (1.85% CuEq) including

  • 4 metres from 157 metres at 0.30% Co , 0.44% Cu and 0.14g/t Au (2.33% CuEq) in MIRC014

  • 18 metres from 62 metres at 0.11% Co , 0.40% Cu, and 0.17g/t Au (1.23% CuEq) in MIRC015

Significant intercepts from the balance of the drill holes (MIRC017-MIRC023) at a nominal 0.3% CuEq* cutoff include:

  • 40 metres from 56 metres at 0.07% Co, 0.32% Cu and 0.13g/t Au (0.82% CuEq ) in MIRC017 including

  • 5 metres from 60 metres 0.15% Co, 0.82% Cu, 0.21g/t Au and 0.32g/t Ag (1.90% CuEq) and

  • 8 metres from 84 metres at 0.11% Co, 0.79% Cu, 0.24g/t Au and 0.44g/t Ag (1.64% CuEq)

  • 6 metres from 50 metres at 39g/t Ag and 1.63% Pb and 2 metres at 1.02g/t Au and 180g/t Ag from 101 metres in MIRC019

  • 5 metres from 173 metres at 0.17% Co, 0.21% Cu, 0.03g/t Au and 0.55g/t Ag (1.24% CuEq) in MIRC021

  • 33 metres from 115 metres at 0.16% Co, 0.22% Cu, 0.1g/t Au (1.29% CuEq) in MIRC023 including

  • 5 metres from 116 metres at 0.19% Co, 0.66% Cu, 0.34g/t Au and 3.84g/t Ag (2.11% CuEq) and

  • 8 metres from 128 metres at 0.35% Co , 0.08% Cu (2.19% CuEq)

At Scalper 4 RC holes were drilled and one hole extended. Significant results include:

  • 12 metres from 20 metres at 1.2% Cu and 0.38g/t Au in SCRC005

Millennium Drilling Summary

2

Millennium

Hammer Metals Limited acquired the Millennium leases in May 2016. Since that time, Hammer has conducted geological mapping and has recently completed a 23 hole, 3857 metre RC drilling program. Assaying of umpire samples, preliminary metallurgical studies and three-dimensional geological modelling is currently in progress prior to undertaking a maiden mineral resource estimate for the project.

Millennium is located close to the regional-scale Pilgrim Fault Zone which also hosts Hammer’s Kalman Copper-Gold-Molybdenum-Rhenium Deposit, 50 kilometres to the south.

Geological mapping has identified two settings for mineralisation. The southern portion of the deposit is hosted by carbonaceous shales whilst the northern portion of the deposit is hosted by a fractured and ferruginous quartzite unit. Mineralisation is expressed differently within these two host lithologies. In the south, two separate zones of strongly mineralised material are present, whilst in the northern portion of the mineralised zone, which is hosted by quartzite, the true width of mineralised envelope can be up to 80 metres in thickness.

The mapping has also identified that potential lies at the northern end of the leases in a very similar structural and geological situation with strongly anomalous copper and cobalt soil geochemistry that has not yet been drill tested – the “Northern Target”. In addition, there is potential along strike from the old Federal Mine with reported historical production of approximately 10,000 tonnes at 26% Cu. These targets will be pursued in subsequent drilling programs.

Significantly the recent drilling in MIRC019 has identified a high grade silver-lead zone which requires further follow-up. Grades of 39g/t Ag and 1.63% Pb from 50 to 56 metres and 180g/t Ag from 101 to 103 metres were intersected in MIRC019 within altered quartzite.

Scalper

Hammer Metals has also recently completed a 5-hole (506 metre) reverse circulation drilling program at its Scalper prospect within EPM25486. The aim of the program was to test a combined gravity and magnetic anomaly which exhibited alteration consistent with IOCG mineralisation, and a nearby copper-bearing gossanous zone.

Significant intersections from this program include:

  • 8 metres from 34 metres at 0.95% Cu in SCRC003

  • 12 metres from 20 metres at 1.2% Cu and 0.38g/t Au in SCRC005

This drilling has not yet fully tested the geophysical anomaly or the extents of the gossanous zone to the north. It is anticipated that this area will be investigated further in 2017.

Hammer is currently drilling at the Overlander IOCG target (ASX release dated 10[th] August 2016) within the Hammer - Newmont Farm-in and Joint Venture area. The purpose of this program is to test for a large, bulk-tonnage copper-gold (IOCG) system in the vicinity of the gravity and magnetic anomaly immediately to the west of the current Overlander copper resource. It is anticipated that the first phase of drilling at Overlander will be complete by the end of November.

Competent Person’s Statement

The information in this report as it relates to exploration results and geology was compiled by Mr. Mark Whittle, who is a Member of the AusIMM, a consultant to the Company and a shareholder and option holder. Mr. Mark Whittle has sufficient experience which is relevant to the style of mineralisation and type of deposit under consideration and to the activity which he is undertaking 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. Whittle consents to the inclusion in the report of the matters based on the information in the form and context in which it appears.

JORC Code, 2012 Edition

Table 1 report – Millennium Project

  • This release outlines final results of reverse circulation drilling conducted at Hammer’s Millennium Project – located approximately 19km to the west of the Rocklands Cu-Co deposit in the Cloncurry District of Northwest Queensland.

  • The release also outlines the results from a reverse circulation drilling program at Hammers’ Scalper Prospect – Located approximately 60km southeast of the city of Mount Isa in northwest Queensland. Unless specifically stated the type of drilling, analytical and sampling methods are the same as those utilized in the Millennium drilling.
