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;

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.
3 Sourced from open file Mines Department reports by Audax Resources Ltd. This work was conducted in 2006-2007 on E36/215 (A074761). The data underlying these rock chips has been validated by Hammer Metals Ltd personnel and it is the opinion of Hammer Metals that the historic exploration data are reliable.

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. |
DRILLING BWSAC0465-BWSAC0572 • 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. • Holes were drilling using air core technique which uses a blade to produce broken core and large chips. Hard rock was drilled by switching toreverse |

| Drill sample recovery |
Method of recording and assessing core and chip sample recoveries and results assessed. Measures taken to maximise sample recovery and ensure representative nature of the samples. Whether a relationship exists between sample recovery and grade and whether sample bias may have occurred due to preferential loss/gain of fine/coarse material. |
• Sample recoveries were generally in excess of 80%. Recovery dropped in the shallow portion of holes and in zones of strong water inflow. • In zones where recovery was compromised holes were terminated. • No sample recovery bias has been noted.

Section 2 Reporting of Exploration Results
(Criteria listed in the preceding section also apply to this section.)
| Criteria | **JORC Code explanation ** | Commentary |
|---|---|---|
| Mineral tenement and land tenure status |
Type, reference name/number, location and ownership including agreements or material issues with third parties such as joint ventures, partnerships, overriding royalties, native title interests, historical sites, wilderness or national park and environmental settings. The security of the tenure held at the time of reporting along with any known impediments to obtaining a licence to operate in the area. |
• The Bronzewing South Project comprises granted tenements: E36/854, E36/868, E36/869, E36/870, E36/916, P36/1857 and P36/1858. • These tenements are 100% held by Carnegie Exploration Pty Ltd. The tenements are in good standing. Carnegie Exploration Pty Ltd is a 100% owned subsidiary of Hammer Metals Limited. • The sampling reported herein was conducted on E36/869 and E36/870. |
| Exploration done by other parties |
Acknowledgment and appraisal of exploration by other parties. |
• Previous holders held title either covering the tenement in part or entirely and previous results are contained in Mines Department records. • In excess of 2200 holes and 99km of drilling has been conducted by Newmont Exploration Pty Ltd, Audax Resources NL and Australian Resources Ltd over the entire project area. • This data has been compiled by Carnegie Exploration Pty Ltd • Tabulation of this drilling according to trend, exploration licence, drill type and drill type was presented in an HMX release to the ASX dated 14 March 2019. |
| Geology | Deposit type, geological setting and style of mineralisation. |
• The Bronzewing South project is exploring for Bronzewing and/or Mt McClure analogues along strike from each mine. • 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, Thunderbox, Bronzewing and Mt McClure Group of gold deposits. In the Bronzewing area the greenstone |

| succession is dominated by tholeiitic basalts and dolerite units with lesser ultramafic, felsic and sediment sequences. • 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. |

| Drill hole Information |
A summary of all information material to the understanding of the exploration results including a tabulation of the following information for all Material drill holes: easting and northing of the drill hole collar elevation or RL (Reduced Level – elevation above sea level in metres) of the drill hole collar dip and azimuth of the hole down hole length and interception depth hole length. If the exclusion of this information is justified on the basis that the information is not Material and this exclusion does not detract from the understanding of the report, the Competent Person should clearly explain _why this is the case. _ |
. • See the attached tables. HISTORIC DRILLING • The reader is referred to HMX ASX releases dated 14 March 2019, 18 November 2019, 23 December 2019 22 April 2020 and 15 July 2020 for details on historic drilling and the Phase 1 program conducted by Hammer Metals. |
| Data aggregation methods |
In reporting Exploration Results, weighting averaging techniques, maximum and/or minimum grade truncations (eg cutting of high grades) and cut-off grades are usually Material and should be stated. Where aggregate intercepts incorporate short lengths of high grade results and longer lengths of low grade results, the procedure used for such aggregation should be stated and some typical examples of such aggregations should be shown in detail. The assumptions used for any reporting of metal equivalent values should be clearly stated. |
• Intercepts are quoted at a 0.1g/t Gold cut-off with included intercepts highlighting zones of increased Gold grade. HISTORIC DRILLING • The reader is referred to HMX ASX releases dated 14 March 2019, 18 November 2019, 23 December 2019 22 April 2020 and 15 July 2020 for details on historic drilling and the Phase 1 program conducted by Hammer Metals. |
| Relationship between mineralisation widths and |
These relationships are particularly important in the reporting of Exploration Results. |
• The relationship between intersected and true widths for HMX drilling is currently not known with any certainty. |
Page 21 of 22
| Criteria | **JORC Code explanation ** | Commentary |
|---|---|---|
| intercept lengths |
If the geometry of the mineralisation with respect to the drill hole angle is known, its nature should be reported. If it is not known and only the down hole lengths are reported, there should be a clear statement to this effect (eg ‘down hole _length, true width not known’). _ |
HISTORIC DRILLING • The reader is referred to HMX ASX releases dated 14 March 2019, 18 November 2019, 23 December 2019 22 April 2020 and 15 July 2020 for details on historic drilling and the Phase 1 program conducted by Hammer Metals. |
| Diagrams | Appropriate maps and sections (with scales) and tabulations of intercepts should be included for any significant discovery being reported These should include, but not be limited to a plan view of drill hole collar locations and appropriate sectional _views. _ |
• See attached figures |
| Balanced reporting |
Where comprehensive reporting of all Exploration Results is not practicable, representative reporting of both low and high grades and/or widths should be practiced avoiding misleading reporting of Exploration Results. |
• Intersections derived from laboratory analysis are reported at cut-off grades 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.
