  • Results confirm multiple prospective Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling targets along a 2km trend of gold mineralisation

  • The aircore program completed 174 holes and 9,942m of drilling

  • Advanced planning of an RC drilling program has commenced with additional multi-element results expected soon to further help refine targets

  • A RC drilling program at Target 1 and Ken’s Bore to commence next month

Hammer Metals Ltd ( ASX:HMX ) (“ Hammer ” or the “ Company ”) is pleased to provide results from its aircore drilling ( AC ) program undertaken at Target 1. These results confirm multiple trends of shallow gold mineralisation over a 2km trend that provide multiple compelling RC drilling targets at North Orelia[1] .

All gold results have now been reported from the 174 holes (9,942m) of a planned 8,000m AC program at North Orelia. This program tested anomalous zones at Targets 1 and 4, both located on trends coinciding with the Mt McClure Deposits.

With all drill results now reported, Hammer is expediting its plans for a RC drilling program at Target 1. Multiple areas along the 2km trend of gold mineralisation are proving to be compelling areas for RC drill testing. Whilst planning for this program continues, Hammer expect the program to commence in early September.

Hammer’s Managing Director, Daniel Thomas said:

“All of the elements for a successful gold discovery are starting to align at Target 1 at North Orelia. The target sits along a highly prospective trend of historical gold producing mines and we’ve managed to produce a number of highly anomalous mineralised gold intercepts at shallow depths along an extended trend of this prospective area. This all points to a promising reverse circulation program to be completed over the next quarter. The ongoing support of our shareholders and the option holders who have converted their options to shares allows us to be more aggressive with our plans for the Yandal region with a number of exciting prospects to be drilled in the second half of this year. In addition to the RC drilling program at Target 1, we will drill test the Ken’s bore target where historical high grade gold samples have been identified at surface sited above an electromagnetic anomaly, whilst also embarking on our first diamond drill program at the sparsely tested Bronzewing South property”.

Orelia North Target 1

The first phase of drilling at Target 1 delineated three previously unrecognised mineralised gold trends[2] . The previously undiscovered western mineralised trend is associated with the margin of a magnetic ridge – associated with shearing focussed on a contact between felsic and mafic units. The magnetic ridge is visible on regional datasets both to the north and south with scope for Hammer to test these interpreted contact zones which have limited historical drilling (Figure 2). The best Phase 1 results from Target 1 included:

  • 14m at 1.80g/t Au from 12m including 3m at 5.57g/t Au from 21m in BWSAC0026;

  • 3m at 1.65g/t Au from 17m in BWSAC0036;

  • 19m at 0.63g/t Au from 4m including 1m at 8.77g/t Au from 13m in BWSAC0061;

  • 3m at 2.68g/t Au from 26m including 1m at 4.12g/t Au from 26m in BWSAC089;

  • 10m at 1.82g/t Au from 9m including 3m at 5.78g/t from 12m in BWSA00121; and

  • 12m at 0.79g/t Au from 8m including 4m at 1.96g/t Au from 8m in BWSAC0127.

The Phase 2 program was designed to extend known mineralised trends to the south. During this program four broad spaced lines were drilled with the aim to test the extensions of the 1km strike of delineated mineralisation, by up to a further 1km (see Figure 2 and 3). The lines achieved this objective with significant results including:

  • 4m at 3.88g/t Au from 24m in BWSAC0289;

  • 8m at 1.93g/t Au from 36m including 4m at 2.5g/t Au from 40m in BWSAC0290; and

  • • 7m at 0.90g/t Au from 12m including 2m at 2.91g/t Au from 12m in BWSAC0304.

Hammer recommenced its AC program at North Orelia in June and completed 174 holes for 9,942m. Results not previous reported herein are from BWSAC0465 to BWSAC0464 (108 holes and 6,054 metres). Significant results include:

  • 4m @ 1.86g/t Au from 72m in BWSAC0567;

  • 4m @ 1.83g/t Au from 40m in BWSAC0497;

  • 12m @ 0.88g/t Au from 20m including 4m at 1.25g/t Au from 24m in BWSAC0496; and

  • • 4m @ 1.32g/t Au from 44m in BWSAC0490

Significant results reported in the first batch of results included:

  • 4m @ 5.79g/t Au from 40m in BWSAC0434;

2 See Hammer’s ASX Announcements dated 23 December 2019 and 22 April 2020

  • 4m @ 4.38g/t Au from 48m in BWSAC0448;

  • 4m @ 1.87g/t Au from 12m in BWSAC0460;

  • 4m @ 1.4g/t Au from 20m in BWSAC0417;

  • 4m @ 1.58g/t Au from 20m in BWSAC0428;

  • 20m @ 0.45g/t Au from 20m including 4m @ 1.02g/t Au in BWSAC0461; and

  • 48m @ 0.45g/t Au from 32m including 4m at 1.78g/t Au from 36m and 4m @ 1.45g/t Au from 76m in BWSAC0462.

Target 4

Target 4 is located immediately to the north of Northern Star’s (ASX:NST) 1Moz Orelia Resource. Orelia and the former Lotus and Cockburn deposits are located within a fault bounded corridor and associated with regional structures such as the Lotus Fault. Hammer Metals has been progressively testing this corridor to identify specific stratigraphic units and discern major fault zones.

Previous drilling encountered low level anomalism (refer to ASX announcement dated 22 April 2020) with intercepts of:

  • 12m at 0.16g/t Au from 24m including 4m at 0.36g/t Au from 24m in BWSAC0375; and

  • 32m at 0.15g/t Au from 32m including 4m at 0.88g/t Au from 32m in BWSAC0388.

  • The current phase of drilling further tested this corridor with significant anomalism encountered:

  • 24m @ 0.12g/t Au from 28m in BWSAC0533; on the western edge of the Lotus Dolerite;

  • 8m @ 0.36g/t Au from 28m in BWSAC0540 on the eastern edge of the Lotus Dolerite; and

  • 4m @ 0.16g/t Au from 40m in BWSAC0542, also on the eastern edge of the Lotus dolerite

This level of gold anomalism in an area of depleted regolith is significant. Intercepts in BWSAC0540 and BWSAC0542 are located in a zone of deeper weathering and there is evidence of strong silicification and hydrothermally produced ironstone. It is interpreted that this zone not only is located on the eastern side of the Orelia corridor, but it also marks the Lotus Fault. As we have seen with drilling at Target 1, historic drilling along this trend has been ineffective providing an additional target for Hammer to test in the future.

Orelia Soil Sampling

A soil sample survey has now been completed over parts of the North Orelia trend. This work will cost-effectively test large areas in the North Orelia project tenements. This work will look to establish potential targets over a large area of the North Orelia project which has not been subject to any significant historical exploration. Samples are being submitted to the laboratory for analysis.

Ken’s Bore

Ken’s Bore is located 12km to the south of Bronzewing. Significant gold values in rock chips of 22.2g/t, 12.9g/t, 6.1g/t and 7.7g/t have been returned from this area (Refer to ASX announcement dated 2 October 2019). A review of open file reports of work conducted by Audax Resources Ltd noted that rock chip sampling in the same area reported grades of up to 497g/t - see to ASX release date 2 October 2019.[3] Drilling will test beneath the zone of high-grade rock chips which is adjacent to an untested ground EM anomaly recently remodelled by Hammer.[4] (Figures 7 and 8). Hammer will test this target as part of the upcoming RC program at Target 1 at North Orelia.

Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data

(Criteria in this section apply to all succeeding sections in this information release.)

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
Sampling
techniques
Nature and quality of sampling (eg cut
channels,
random
chips,
or
specific
specialised industry standard measurement
tools appropriate to the minerals under
investigation, such as down hole gamma
sondes, or handheld XRF instruments, etc).
These examples should not be taken as
limiting the broad meaning of sampling.
Include reference to measures taken to
ensure
sample
representivity
and
the
appropriate calibration of any measurement
tools or systems used.
Aspects
of
the
determination
of
mineralisation that are Material to the Public
Report.
In cases where ‘industry standard’ work has
been done this would be relatively simple (eg
‘reverse circulation drilling was used to obtain
1 m samples from which 3 kg was pulverised
to produce a 30 g charge for fire assay’). In
other cases, more explanation may be
required, such as where there is coarse gold
that
has
inherent
sampling
problems.
Unusual commodities or mineralisation types
(eg
submarine
nodules)
may
warrant
disclosure of detailed information.

108 Air Core (AC) holes are reported
herein for a total of 6,053m.

Drill
chip
samples
were
taken
at
dominantly four metre intervals, with a
scoop from each drilled metre contributing
to a composite sample. The resulting
composite sample was between 1 and 2kg
in weight.

Where mineralisation was anticipated or
encountered, the sample length was
reduced to 1m with lab submission of the
1m samples.

All
samples
submitted
for
assay
underwent fine crush with 1kg riffled off for
pulverising to 75 microns.

Samples were submitted to SGS in
Kalgoorlie for:

Fire Assay with AAS finish for gold.

All samples are being analysed via
portable XRF (conducted under laboratory
conditions).

Reanalyses will be conducted as required
to investigate gold assay repeatability.
Drilling
techniques
Drill type (eg core, reverse circulation, open-
hole hammer, rotary air blast, auger, Bangka,
sonic, etc) and details (eg core diameter,
triple or standard tube, depth of diamond
tails, face-sampling bit or other type, whether
core is oriented and if so, by what method,
etc).

Holes are being drilled by Kennedy Drilling
utilising an in-house designed air core
truck-mounted drill rig.

The project is located within the Yandal
Greenstone Belt approximately 65km
northeast of Leinster. The Yandal Belt
is approximately 250km long by 50km
wide and hosts the Jundee, Darlot,

Gold mineralisation at theBronzewing
mine occurs in quartz veins (sub-
parallel vein arrays) in complex pipe-
like lodes that plunge steeply to the
south within a 400m wide structural
corridor. The north-south corridor is
roughly coincident with an antiformal
structure and extends to the south
through E36/854. Bedrock does not
outcrop within E36/854 and drilling
indicates that surficial cover ranges
between 2m and 40m in thickness.

reporting
Where comprehensive reporting of all

representative reporting of both low and
high grades and/or widths should be
practiced avoiding misleading reporting of
Exploration Results.

Intersections derived from laboratory

of 0.1g/t Au.

The reader can therefore assume that
any portions of a drillhole that are not
quoted in the intercept tables contain
grades less that the quoted cut-off.
