NEW COPPER GOLD INTERCEPTS AT TRAFALGAR

  • Two additional holes drilled at the Trafalgar discovery in Hammer’s Mount Isa East JOGMEC Joint Venture intersect copper and gold mineralisation confirming the potential at Trafalgar for a significant deposit

  • HMTRRC003 was drilled from the west between the two previous holes. Assays confirm two zones of mineralisation with significant results including:

  • 15m at 1.15% Cu and 0.35g/t Au from 92m including 2m at 3.17% Cu and 1.33g/t Au from 95m ; and

  • 15m at 0.63% Cu and 0.15g/t Au from 29m including 3m at 1.71% Cu and 0.29g/t Au from 40m .

  • HMTRRC004 was collared approximately 80m to the north of the previous drilling intersecting mineralisation including:

  • 10m at 0.59% Cu and 0.18g/t Au from 64m.

  • The Trafalgar deposit remains open in all directions with drilling identifying a new zone of mineralisation to the west

  • Further on-ground prospecting and field mapping of the Trafalgar trend has identified several highly prospective targets with historical workings including multiple pits and shafts over a 3km zone corresponding with anomalous soils and magnetics

  • Results are pending from the drilling at the Shadow, Toby East, Alpha, Charlie and Juliett prospects

Hammer’s Managing Director, Daniel Thomas said:

“The limited follow up program at Trafalgar has been successful with the identification of a new zone of mineralisation as well as an extension of the deposit to the North. I am extremely pleased that all four holes drilled at this prospect have all identified significant copper and gold mineralisation, providing the team with quality geological information to plan future work programs at the prospect. The team’s on ground review of the soil anomalies to the north has highlighted the extensiveness of historic copper oxide workings and is extremely encouraging for the potential of a broad scale copper and gold mineral system. Pleasingly additional targets along trend to the south have been identified which do not have an obvious soil geochemical response. With the onset of more significant rainfall events, the Joint Venture has now completed the current drilling program and will review results to date to develop a systematic plan to explore the size and grade potential of the Trafalgar deposit.”

Hammer Metals Ltd ( ASX:HMX ) (“ Hammer ” or the “ Company ”) is pleased to provide an update on drilling results from the Trafalgar prospect located within the Mt Isa East Joint Venture area (“ JOGMEC JV ”).

This drilling follows Hammer’s Trafalgar copper gold discovery announced to the ASX on 20 January 2021. Results have now been received from the additional 2 holes (256m) recently drilled at the prospect. The additional drilling was conducted at the end of the JOGMEC JV drilling program. The program also tested targets at the Alpha, Charlie, Juliett, Shadow and Toby East prospects with assays pending from these additional targets.

This drilling program completes the second-year program (Program Year End - 31 March 2021) for the JOGMEC JV. Under the terms of the Joint Venture, Japan Oil, Gas and Metals National Corporation

(“JOGMEC”) is required to expend a minimum of $1m in exploration expenditure in the third year of the program. JOGMEC does not earn an interest in the project until it has incurred $6 million in exploration expenditure (see ASX announcement 25 November 2019).

Mt Isa East Joint Venture

Trafalgar

Trafalgar is a north-northeast trending Cu-Au prospect located on the regional scale Fountain Range Fault. Small scale historical mining occurred over the prospect area until the Mining Lease was abandoned in early 2017. The Trafalgar Mine had been under a Mining Lease held by a non-related party since the late 1970’s. As a result, the two Joint Venture holes drilled in December have been the first concentrated exploration work conducted on the property.

In December 2020, two holes were drilled on lines approximately 140m apart as an initial test of the width and tenor of the prospect (Figure 3). Both holes intersected copper mineralisation with a significant gold credit. Significant intersections include:

  • 55m at 1.12% Cu and 0.30g/t Au from 119m including 16m at 1.77% Cu and 0.49g/t Au from 149m in HMTRRC001 with maximum individual grades of 1.96g/t Au and 3.2% Cu; and

  • 60m at 1.04% Cu and 0.25g/t Au from 64m including 6m at 2.38% Cu and 1.45g/t Au from 91m in HMTRRC002 with maximum individual of 3.22g/t Au and 7.58% Cu.

The drilling indicated that the lode has a mineralised envelope of approximately 15-30m in true thickness with a peripheral magnetite alteration halo associated with elevated light rare earths (cerium and lanthanum). The maximum individual sum of cerium and lanthanum is 0.71% and 0.38% in holes HMTRRC001 and HMTRRC002 respectively. The Trafalgar prospect is located within a 2.7km mineralised trend (Figures 3, 7, 8 and 9) (see ASX announcement dated 20 January 2021).

Follow up drilling was completed in late January this year with two additional holes, drilled from west to east for a total of 256m. HMRRC003 was drilled between holes HMTRRC001 and HMTRRC002 and encountered a shallow second zone of mineralisation, in the hangingwall of the main lode, which due to the change in drilling direction was not intersected in the first 2 holes. Significant intercepts include:

  • 15m at 1.15% Cu and 0.35g/t Au from 92m including 2m at 3.17% Cu and 1.33g/t Au from 95m ; and

  • 15m at 0.63% Cu and 0.15g/t Au from 29m including 3m at 1.71% Cu and 0.29g/t Au from 40m

HMRRC004 was collared approximately 80m to the north of HMTRRC002 and was designed as a shallow test to locate the mineralised structure along strike. The hole succeeded in identifying the mineralised trend and significantly again the hole intersected a shallower hangingwall mineralised structure. Significant intercepts include:

o 10m at 0.59% Cu and 0.18g/t Au from 64m ;

The drilling confirms that the structure that hosts mineralisation is open along strike both north and south and there is a suggestion of grade increases and thickening with depth. Logging indicates that mineralisation has a magnetite alteration halo and an association with pyrrhotite. These characteristics will aid in future target definition within the greater Trafalgar area.

The Joint Venture will thoroughly review the exploration results at Trafalgar with a view to developing a thorough exploration program to extend the Trafalgar deposit in addition to testing the potential along the greater Trafalgar trend.

Trafalgar Trend

The Trafalgar mineralised trend is defined by extensive copper-gold soil anomalism, a strong magnetic ridge and multiple historic workings over a strike length of over 3km (See Figures 5, 6 and 7). Based on Hammer’s review the trend has had very little systematic exploration completed. The scale of the mineralised system and the nature of the alteration and mineralisation present provides encouragement for locating new copper-gold zones along the trend.

Several kilometres further north adjacent to the Fountain Range Fault, this trend is also marked by historical workings at Pearl, Lakeside and Smoko Gossan. (See Figure 9). These prospects are located outside the JOGMEC Joint Venture in Hammer’s 100% owned tenements. Limited drilling of these prospects has previously been conducted with Hammer planning a review of these prospects with a potential drill program to commence at the Lake View prospect in April.

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

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.

2 reverse circulation holes for 256m are
reported herein.

Drill
chip
samples
were
taken
at
dominantly four metre intervals, with a riffle
split from each drilled metre combined to
produce a composite sample. Where
mineralisation
was
anticipated
or
encountered, the sample length was
reduced to 1m with lab submission of the
1m samples.

The average sample length and weight for
the assays reported herein is 1.7m and
3.8kg respectively.

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

Samples were submitted to SGS in
Townsville for:

Fire Assay with AAS finish for gold.

4 acid digest followed by ICP-MS and ICP-
OES for a 49 element suite.

Portable XRF analysis was conducted in
the field on each 1m interval.

Reanalyses will be conducted as required
to investigate element 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

aeromagnetic datasets as a linear
magnetic anomaly.

The Trafalgar Prospect is located on the
regional scale Fountain Range Fault.
The prospect is located on a magnetic
and conductive trend and is typified at
surface by an elevated gold and copper
soil response.

The Even Steven South Prospect is
located on the Pilgrim Fault zone and
the target area is typified by an
increased
gravity
and
magnetic
signature with a surficial gold and
copper soil geochemical anomaly.

_why this is the case. _
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 0.2% Cu cut-
off with included intercepts highlighting
zones of increased Copper and/or Gold
grade.
Relationship
between
mineralisation
widths
and
intercept
lengths
These
relationships
are
particularly
important in the reporting of Exploration
Results.
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’). _

The relationship between intersected
and true widths for drilling at Shadow
and Even Steven South are not
currently known with any certainty.

The relationship between intersected
and true widths for Trafalgar is noted in
the intercept table.
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.

Intercepts are quoted at a 0.2% Cu cut-
off with included intercepts highlighting
zones of increased Copper and/or Gold
grade.

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.
