North Orelia – Prospective Structural Trends
Mineralisation, Structure & Geology Multiple targets identified in 14km Orelia Trend
Orelia Trend is along strike from former Cockburn & Lotus pits (Mt Mclure Operation) now held by Northern Star hosting the 1.1Moz Au Orelia Resource
Results from AC drilling on the Orelia trend to date have confirmed the presence of shallow gold mineralisation >2km strike length at Target 1 and anomalous levels of gold at Target 4
Historical AC drilling on Hammer’s tenure was inadequate often drilling vertical holes to a depth of 21m
Shallow vertical historic drilling failed to detect these mineralised trends
Orelia is characterised by near vertical shear hosted mineralisation. Angled holes have an increased chance of discovering mineralised zones
Magnetic imagery also assisting in the identification of the ultramafic contact zones, which appear to be closely associated with gold mineralisation at Target 1

Bronzewing South
Hammer’s First Pass 2019 Drilling Program
Bronzewing South Property’s 5km strike length has multiple high-priority targets highlighted by geochemical, geophysical and structural analysis
Limited exploration at a depth of >100m has occurred (23 RC/DD holes)
Hammer’s program focussed on the existing geochemical anomalies, reprocessed geophysics and the IP survey results
Drilling concentrated on areas located predominantly against the Eastern shear zone
High-grade, shallow mineralisation intercepted in Hammer’s Phase 1 limited drilling program[1] :
▪ 10m at 1.97g/t Au from 129m[1] , including;
-
➢ 1m at 16g/t Au from 137m and 2m at 3.39g/t Au from 110m
-
▪ 8m at 1.36g/t Au from 199m[2] , including;
-
➢ 1m at 6.2g/t Au and 4m at 2.49g/t Au from 226m including 1m at 9.3g/t Au from 229m

Bronzewing South – A New Perspective
Multiple untested targets identified from the first pass program
Updated view of project geology based upon the first phase RC program adding further definition to the geological domains of the area
Previous exploration has focused predominantly on the Eastern Shear zone to follow up promising historical AC results
Updated geophysical interpretation has identified gravity lows, which at Bronzewing appear to be coincident with gold mineralisation
Coincident geochemical and structural targets with limited deep RC drilling. Several of the best RC results were on the periphery of the dolerite contact
Initial plans for the Bronzewing South Property in 2020 were the completion of a detailed gravity survey over key target areas (now complete) and the completion of an AC program (outstanding) focusing on the edge of the dolerite package on an area that is coincidental to the Bronzewing gold mineralisation
Hammer was awarded a $150,000 WA Exploration Incentive Grant to partly fund diamond drill testing of gravity lows in proximity to Hammer’s best RC drilling results

Ken’s Bore
Compelling Target to be drilled in upcoming RC program
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.
Drilling will test beneath the zone of high-grade rock chips which is adjacent to an untested ground EM anomaly recently remodelled by Hammer.
Hammer will test this target as part of the upcoming RC program at Target 1 at North Orelia.

The CuEq calculation is based solely on commodity prices without assumptions about recovery or payability of the different metals. Prices agreed to by Hammer were a reflection of the market as at 14/02/2014 and forward looking forecasts provided by consensus analysis. Metal prices provided are: Cu: US$7,165/t, Au: US$1,324.80/oz, Ag: US$22.40/oz, Mo: US$16.10/lb The forward looking price for Rhenium was estimated using available historical and current prices - Re: US$5,329/kg
The CuEq equation is CuEq = Cu + 0.594464Au + 0.010051Ag + 4.953866Mo + 0.074375Re and was applied to the respective elements estimated within the resource block model.
Assumed Metallurgical Recoveries
Based on the testing completed and the current understanding of the material characteristics it has been assumed that the Kalman material can be processed using a “typical” concentrator process flowsheet. The mass balance and stage metallurgical recovery of the four major elements were based on the metallurgical test results from the molybdenum zone sample and benchmarks. The final overall recovery (Table 3) was established from the mass balance and benchmarked against other operations and projects.

It is the company’s opinion that the metals used in the metal equivalent equation have reasonable potential for recovery and sale based on metallurgical recoveries in flotation test work undertaken to date. There are a number of well-established processing routes for copper molybdenum deposits and the sale of resulting copper and molybdenum concentrates.

Overlander Mineral Resource Estimate
The 100%-owned Overlander Project is situated 60 kilometres to the southeast of the mining centre of Mount Isa in North West Queensland and 6 kilometres to the west of Hammer’s Kalman copper-gold-molybdenum-rhenium deposit. It is a high-priority target area for both shear-hosted copper and IOCG copper mineralisation. The Overlander North and South copper Deposits are situated approximately one kilometre apart within a common shear zone.
Drilling in the Overlander North deposit extends to a vertical depth of approximately 430m and the mineralisation was modelled from surface to a depth of approximately 420m below surface. Drilling in the Overlander South deposit extends to a vertical depth of approximately 215m and the mineralisation was modelled from surface to a depth of approximately 180m below surface. The resource estimates are based on good quality RC and diamond drilling data. Drill hole spacing is predominantly on a 40m by 20m spacing with additional drill holes between sections targeted at the higher grade cores of the deposits.
Following additional drilling in 2014 and 2015, The Mineral Resource Estimates for the Overlander North and South shearhosted copper Deposits were revised by Haren Consulting and reported in accordance with the guidelines of the JORC Code (2012 Edition). They contain combined resources of 1,772,000 tonnes at 1.2% copper in the indicated and inferred categories (Refer to the ASX release dated August 26[th] 2015). The company is not aware of any new information or data that materially affects the information in the HMX ASX announcement. All material assumptions and technical parameters underpinning the mineral resource estimate continue to apply and have not materially changed.

Elaine Project Mineral Resource Estimate & Notes on Copper Eqv Calculation and Metallurgical Recoveries
The 100%-owned Elaine Cu-Au deposit is situated on granted exploration licence 14022, approximately 50km east of Mount Isa in North West Queensland.
A resource estimate was first completed and reported to ASX by previous owners (Chinalco Yunnan Copper Resources Limited, now AUKing Limited) on 18[th] October 2012. The resource was conducted by Mine Development Associates. The company is not aware of any new information or data that materially affects the information in the AKN ASX announcement. All material assumptions and technical parameters underpinning the mineral resource estimate continue to apply and have not materially changed.
A review of the Resource Estimate was completed for the purpose of compiling this statement and the principles and methodology of the resource estimation procedure and the resource classification procedure are considered to comply. The Elaine Project Mineral Resource Estimate is based on approximately 30 holes to a depth of 450 metres below surface. The current resource totals 9.3 million tonnes (Mt) grading 0.82% Cu and 0.19g/t Au and is classified as being all in the Inferred category. The resource is tabulated below at a variety of CuEq % cut-offs.
