Lakeview Update
The initial four-hole (300m) program was successful in delineating mineralisation and a second nine-hole (1080m) program was completed to further investigate mineralisation at depth (refer to ASX announcement dated 22 June 2021 and 14 October 2021).
After considerable delays in receiving results from the assay laboratory, the results for 3 of the 9-hole followup program have been received. Significant intercepts from these three holes include:
-
18m at 1.7% Cu and 0.49g/t Au from 61m in HMLVRC005, including;
o5m at 4.17% Cu and 1.04g/t Au from 61m; -
13m at 0.59% Cu and 0.15g/t Au from 66m in HMLVRC007, including;
o1m at 1.42% Cu and 0.46g/t Au from 77m; and -
4m at 1.73% Cu and 1.42g/t Au from 147m in HMLVRC007

Figure 2. Lakeview long section looking north. (ASX announcement 14 October 2021)
Preliminary assessment of the drilling results indicates that the higher-grade zones of mineralisation plunge steeply. Down-hole EM was undertaken on two of the holes drilled during this program to determine whether any off-hole conductors were present. The data generated from this program is currently being modelled by Hammers’ geophysical consultants – Newexco.
In combination with this follow-up drilling, geological mapping and rock chip sampling was conducted to define extensional targets. The mapping indicated that vein mineralogy is consistent with the peripheral expression of an IOCG system and there are two main follow up targets within the general Lakeview area.
Page 4 of 28
Recent field mapping and rock chip sampling undertaken highlighted the relationship between mineralised structures and the margin of zones of magnetite alteration (ASX announcement 14 October 2021). Maximum individual grades of 18.9% Cu, 23.6g/t Au and 0.17% Co were obtained by this sampling. New target zones at Orion (North) and Ajax (South) have been defined. Both Orion and Ajax have not previously been drilled. Orion is located on the margin of a magnetite alteration zone in a similar position to Jubilee, Black Rock and the Neptune group of prospects. Carbonate dominant veins are present on the margin of the quartzite over a strike length of 300m and gossanous quartzite has been mapped within the alteration zone.
Based on previous drilling results, downhole electromagnetics, mapping and sampling, Hammer has designed a follow-up drilling program to test this highly prospective area. In addition, an extensive soil sampling program is underway with the aim of improving the geochemical coverage of the Trafalgar to Jubilee trend within the Lakeview region.

Overlander Update
Three holes for 734 meters were drilled at the Overlander North Prospect. Two of these holes (OVRC033 and OVRC034) were designed to test the southern margin of the Overlander IOCG alteration zone. Both holes intersected favourable alteration, however failed to intersect significant mineralisation. (ASX announcement 14 October 2021)
The third hole, OVRC035 was designed to test a rhyolitic crackle breccia on the eastern margin of Overlander North. The hole intersected 78m @ 0.26% Cu from 75m . Notably the Cu intersection is accompanied by anomalous Zn levels with an individual maximum grade of 0.21% Zn.
Page 7 of 28
The rhyolitic breccia outcrops sporadically over a 1.6km strike length and is tested by only four holes (including OVRC035). The unit can be up to 100m in true thickness (ASX Announcement 15 June 2015). The other three holes have similar thick copper intersections including:
-
117 metres at 0.35% Cu from 43m in OVRC024;
-
71m at 0.31% Cu from 61m in OVRC032; and
-
137m at 0.27% Cu from 105m in K-11.
The rhyolitic crackle breccia at Overlander is considered to have the potential to host a large tonnage Cu-Co resource. A review of the previous IP survey completed at Overlander is underway with a view to optimizing future drill targeting of this large target.

Kalman West
Three holes for 487m were drilled at Kalman West targeting both a MT/VTEM anomaly and a zone of surface quartz veining with visible gold. (ASX announcement 14 October 2021)
HKWRC009 (299m TD) was drilled to test the shallow expression of an MT anomaly beneath the Kalman West Shear Zone. This hole intersected a copper bearing hanging wall zone on the western margin of the Kalman West Shear Zone followed by anomalous Pb-Zn-Ag mineralisation with induvial assays of up to 1.86% Pb, 0.95% Zn and 18.1g/t Ag hosted by graphitic metasediments. Anomalous Au was intersected in structures interpreted to be along strike of several significant gold intersections encountered 200m to the north.
Significantly the anomalous Pb-Zn-Ag mineralisation occurring at Kalman West was associated with anomalous Sb and Cd. This element association displays hallmarks of large sediment-hosted, Mt Isa style, mineralised systems highlighting the prospectivity of the area.
Significant intercepts from HMKWRC009 include:
-
37m at 0.14% Cu from 8m (including 1m @ 1.86% Pb and 0.31% Zn);
-
10m at 0.19% Cu from 84m (including 1m @ 0.42% Pb and 0.65% Zn); and
-
7m at 0.19g/t Au from 120m.
Two further holes were designed to intersect a zone of visible gold. HMKWRC010 and HMKWRC011 intersected zones of significant gold and base metals anomalism including:
-
2m at 0.15g/t Au from 24m in HMKWRC010; and
-
6m at 0.27g/t Au from 68m including 1m at 0.95g/t Au from 70m in HMKWRC011;
As with HMKWRC009, both HMKWRC010 and HMKWRC011 intersected anomalous zones of Ag, Pb and Zn with individual maximum responses of 44.5g/t Ag, 0.67% Pb and 0.66% Zn respectively.
HMKWRC009 will be subject to a downhole electromagnetic survey late in 2021. Select gold-bearing samples will be subject to screen fire assays as coarse gold associations may not be readily apparent in conventional analyses of reverse circulation drill chips.

Neptune IOCG Target Area
Lady Rose Drilling
Results from the initial 3-hole program (728m) confirmed the nature of copper-gold mineralisation at Lady Rose and the overall potential of the Neptune region (refer to ASX announcement dated 26 July 2021) for large IOCG deposits. Significant results from this first exploration program were:
-
100m at 0.48% Cu and 0.18g/t Au from 173m (HMLRRC002) including
-
3m at 2.23% Cu and 0.2g/t Au from 185m;
-
3m at 3.09% Cu and 1.4g/t Au from 198m; and
-
5m at 2.21% Cu and 0.37g/t Au from 234m.
-
66m at 0.32% Cu and 0.07g/t Au from 33m (HMLRRC003) including
o 2m at 1.92% Cu and 0.42g/t Au from 33m Holes HMLRRC002 and HMLRRC003 have been subject to a downhole Electromagnetic Survey and the data from this survey is currently being processed by Hammer Geophysical consultants – Newexco.
Page 12 of 28
Neptune Rock Chip Sampling and Geological Mapping
Geological mapping, three-dimensional gravity modelling, geological modelling, follow-up rock chip sampling and downhole electromagnetic surveying have been conducted over the Neptune region since drilling has been completed. This work has highlighted four follow-on targets within the area for the next drilling phase. Maximum individual rock chip analyses of 27% Cu, 9.95g/t Au and 0.1% Co were obtained from this sampling. (ASX announcement 14 October 2021)
Drill planning is underway to test the Morning Star and Lady Kate trends in the upcoming drilling project. These targets are located on the same geological contact but exhibit different styles of alteration.
The Morning Star trend consists of a series of shafts and pits observable over approximately 500m. This trend occurs on the northern margin of the Argylla Formation. Drilling by Placer in the 1980’s and Paradigm Metals in the 2000’s indicated that mineralization is present at depth however this drilling did not test the entire width of the mineralized system.
The second new target is Lady Kate. This target consists of a 600m long zone of magnetite alteration within the Ballara Quartzite. Soil sampling undertaken by Paradigm Metals outlined a strong Copper anomaly. No historic drilling has tested this target. (See ASX announcement 14 October 2021)
The third target is at Lady Amy. This target consists of a zone of mineralisation hosted within Amphibolite n the contact between the Argylla Formation and Ballara Quartzite. Structural readings taken from artisanal workings in the area suggest that the mineralisation is plunging to the northwest. The final target has been called Sirius. This target consists of a bullseye magnetic anomaly with surface indications of carbonate associated Cu-Au mineralisation.

Serendipity
Two holes for 244m were drilled into a silica alteration zone with anomalous surface Cu and Au anomalism. The drilling indicated that the area has the potential to host Au mineralization however the low gold values returned downgrade the prospect. (ASX announcement 14 October 2021)

Mount Isa East Joint Venture (SMMO earning 60% Interest)
Following early exploration success at the Trafalgar Prospect, JOGMEC has successfully completed a tender process to monetise its interest in the JV to the highly credentialed successful subsidiary of mining company Sumitomo Metal Mining Co Ltd.
Exploration activities including drilling at Trafalgar continued during the tender process with results discussed further in this report.
Following the sale of the interest in the Joint Venture, Sumitomo Metal Mining Oceania (SMMO) and Hammer Post the have recently approved an expanded work program and budget and has initiated detailed work programs on all areas within the Joint Venture. The current program includes:

Figure 10. Drilling of HMTRRC006 at Trafalgar
Trafalgar
The Joint Venture originally drilled four holes with results reported to the ASX on 20 January and 9 February 2021. 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 aim of the recent program at Trafalgar was to test along strike from previous intersections and to test for the presence of hanging wall mineralised zones. A limited drilling program of five holes for 970m were undertaken during this program. Significant intersections from this program includes:
-
16m at 0.88% Cu and 0.34g/t Au from 192m in HMTRRC006, including:
-
9m @ 1.28% Cu and 0.5g/t Au from 195m;
-
19m at 0.70% Cu and 0.17g/t Au from 117m in HMTRRC007, including
-
6m @ 1.58% Cu and 0.38g/t Au from 126m ; and
-
35m at 0.42% Cu and 0.07g/t Au from 175m in HMTRRC008; including:
-
6m @ 1.15% Cu and 0.2g/t Au from 185m
HMTRRC006 confirmed that the main mineralised zone if open along strike to the north. On the southern margin of the Trafalgar open pit the presence of a fault zone has been confirmed with surface mapping indicating an offset in the region of 70m to 100m with the Trafalgar mineralised zone being displaced to the east.
HMTRRC005 was designed to intersect the lode on the southern end of Trafalgar however direction was lost and the hole was terminated prior to intersecting the anticipated position of the displaced lode. An opportunity for further testing of this zone was not possible with the finite budget and drilling program agreed during
Page 15 of 28
JOGMEC’s sales process of their interest in the Joint Venture. The southern extension will be considered as a potential target zone in the upcoming drilling program.
Trafalgar Trend
Recent field mapping has identified outcropping copper mineralisation within the 4km trend with coincident magnetic and soil anomalies. Numerous workings occur along this trend which is composed of multiple subparallel vein zones. With the exception of Trafalgar, this trend is not tested by drilling.
Alteration, the presence of magnetite and elevated light rare earth elements (with individual maximum grades of 0.20% Ce and 0.16% La in HMTRC006) (ASX 4 September 2021) are all indicative of an IOCG system. Geological mapping indicates the presence of a red rock-magnetite alteration zone which encompasses the central mineralised trend and extends along strike.
At a broader scale the Trafalgar trend is marked by magnetic and conductive highs which highlight the target zones for immediate exploration and future drill testing.

Next Steps at Trafalgar
The joint venture has recently commenced work programs across the Trafalgar trend including geological mapping, downhole/ground electromagnetic, gravity and geochemical soil surveys. The extent of the ground electromagnetic survey is shown in Figure 11 and will focus on a zone of several historical workings which were developed in the early 1900’s exploiting localised zones of high-grade copper ore.
Several high priority targets exist along the Trafalgar trend including old workings at The Springs, Lady Northcote and Victory. The current field programs will aid targeting and further define prospects along this mineralized trend with drilling at these prospects expected to commence in early November this year.

Figure 13. Project Overview showing areas of activity
YANDAL GOLD PROJECTS (100% Hammer)
North Orelia
At the North Orelia project, Hammer completed an air core drilling program, drilling 308 holes for 9768m to test previously undrilled targets on the Orelia trend. (See Figure 14).
Four prospects were tested as part of the recently completed Aircore program, highlighting several anomalous zones that warrant follow-up exploration.
Target 2
The northern portion of Target 2 was tested by 47 holes for 745m. This drilling targeted the southern margin of a fractionated granite. The best result from this target was 4m at 0.19g/t Au from 8m in BWSAC0794 which was overlain by a plus 5ppb Au-in-soil anomaly. (ASX announcement 25 August 2021).The target area is significant as granite margins can provide prospective structural positions for gold mineralisation such as Northern Star’s Julius Deposit 60km to the north.
Target 3
Drilling at Target 3 extended the strike length of known mineralisation up to 3.2km. The 76 holes (2418m) targeted a shear zone with significant intercepts of (ASX announcement 25 August 2021):
-
4m at 0.52g/t Au from 32m in BWSAC0638A;
-
8m at 0.21g/t Au from 40m in BWSAC0641; and
-
4m at 0.55g/t Au from 24m in BWSAC0653.
The zone is located on the eastern margin of the Orelia mineralisation trend and is associated with elevated Arsenic, Antimony and Tellurium. Drilling at three holes at Target 3 finished in anomalous zones of gold mineralisation – including (ASX announcement 25 August 2021):
- 0.15g/Au from 8m in BWSAC0736, 0.11g/t Au from 14m in BWSA0800, and 0.12g/t Au from 45m BWSAC0640.
Target 4
Target 4 is located immediately along strike to the north of Northern Star’s Orelia Deposit. Mineralisation encountered to date within this target is often associated with sulphidic shale units which contain an anomalous Zinc zone of up to 70m in width and up to 1.2km in length (with maximum downhole individual analyses of 6520ppm Zn, 38.2% Sulphur and elevated Cu and Pb). This zone is located at the boundary between mafic and felsic/intermediate rocks. Significant intercepts include: (ASX announcement 25 August 2021)
-
18m at 0.12g/t Au from 24m in BWSAC0577;
-
16m at 0.47g/t Au from 52m in BWSAC0585;
-
3m at 0.47g/t Au from 52m in BWSAC0818; and
-
8m at 0.35g/t Au from 72mn in BWSAC0828.
Drilling in hole BWSAC0839 finished in an anomalous zone of gold mineralisation - 0.32g/t Au from 56m.
Page 20 of 28
Eastern Granite
This target is located partly within a granite bordering the eastern margin of the Orelia trend where soil geochemical sampling had defined a1.1km by 300m gold anomaly. No previously drilling had been conducted over this target. Hammer Metals tested the area with 126 air core holes (3101m). This work was partly funded by a Western Australia Government Exploration Initiative grant.
Significant geochemical intercepts of 8m at 0.12g/t Au from 20m in BWSAC0621 and 4m at 0.15g/t Au from 12m in BWSAC0622 were associated with a north-northwest trending shear zone on the margin of the granite. Both holes terminated in anomalous mineralisation (ASX announcement 25 August 2021). Shear zones within granites are attractive targets within the Yandal Belt and, in some cases host economic mineralisation such as Northern Star’s Ramone Deposit.

Bronzewing South
Hammer Metals also completed a 50m spaced detailed gravity survey at the Bronzewing South tenement immediately south of the Bronzewing Deposit. The survey has assisted in refining the structural framework and exploration model for the Bronzewing South prospect, outlining five target zones directly south of the original Bronzewing gold pits. These targets remain untested at depth yet sit in a favourable structural corridor with several attractive geophysical attributes.
Two of the five targets were partially tested by a 2020 diamond drilling program (refer to ASX announcement dated 15 January 2021). This initial testing confirmed the location of prospective stratigraphy within the Hammer Metals project area and the presence of altered and mineralised material co-incident with a gravity low
Hammer intends to target the third of these five targets located only 300m south of the Bronzewing deposit in an upcoming reverse circulation drilling program. Drill planning is complete and program organisation is underway for a mid-September mobilisation.
