ASX Announcement / Media Release 22 December 2011

East Pilbara Manganese Project

Encouraging Assay Results

  • Assay results have been received and interpreted for the first round of RC drilling with grades up to 33% Mn intersected.
  • Overall results confirm multiple, broad, shallow zones of medium grade (>14%) manganese mineralisation across the Hill 616 prospect.
  • Core drilling has now completed with samples to be submitted for metallurgical beneficiation testwork in January 2012
  • On target to lodge mineralisation report for Hill 616 prospect in Q1 2012.

Western Australian minerals exploration company Hannans Reward Ltd (ASX:HNR) is pleased to provide an update on its latest results received from RC and diamond (core) drilling recently undertaken at the 3,000 km² East Pilbara Manganese Project (previously referred to as the Jigalong Project) located in the Pilbara region of Western Australia (Figure 1).

Assay results have now been received and interpreted for the first round of RC drilling conducted at the Hill 616 and Dead Camel prospects. The results show broad intersections of manganese mineralisation (>14% Mn) at Hill 616. Better intercepts include:

  • JMRC015 13m @ 15.07%Mn from surface
  • JMRC018 12m @ 15.90%Mn from 4 metres
  • JMRC051 12m @ 15.18%Mn from 3 metres
  • JMRC060 10m @ 15.76%Mn from 2 metres
  • JMRC066 9m @ 16.15%Mn from 5 metres
  • JMRC168 4m @ 25.56%Mn from 6 metres

Including 1m @ 31.758%Mn

A summary table of all significant intersections can be found in Appendix 1.

Mineralisation

Results indicate that mineralisation at Hill 616 is open in both directions along strike, especially to the south where high grade mineralisation was still being encountered in the most southern drill line. The results also indicated that mineralisation continues under light cover to the East of the propsect area.

High grade (>20%) Manganese mineralisation was encountered in a number of small zones, both in the central and southern part of the prospect area. It was found that these high grade zones have been delineated from drilling in areas with no significant surface expression of Manganese, therefore potential remains to find further high grade mineralisation to the south of the prospect. The mineralisation occurs as massive, brecciated, dull to bright manganiferous material hosted in completely oxidised clay zones (Photo 1).

Medium grade (>14%) manganese mineralisation was found to exists in numerous broad zones, dominantly in the central and southern parts of the prospect area. It typically exists as thicker seams of dull manganiferous material in highly weathered shales and clays (Photo 2). As seen in figure 2, the medium grade parcel of mineralisation extends over a strike extent of ~2.2km (open to the south) and is up to ~1.2km wide in parts.

Low grade (>10%) Manganese mineralisation was encountered in most holes drilled at Hill 616 and was found to be laterally extensive. The low grade mineralisation typically exists as thin interbedded seams of matt to dull manganiferous material in highly weathered shales, ranging in thickness from several millimetres to several centimetres (Photo 3).

Future Exploration

Future activities are focussed on compiling sufficient information to lodge a mineralisation report with the Department of Mines and Petroleum as soon as practical that in turn may enable a Mining Lease Application to be lodged over the Hill 616 Prospect.

Work planned over Q1 and Q2 2012 includes (chronological order):

  • Metallurgical testwork
  • Detailed interpretation of the manganese mineralisation model to be completed
  • Drilling, geophysical surveys, geological mapping and surface sampling planned to recommence in Q2 2012.

Hannans Reward Ltd Summary

Hannans Reward Ltd has developed a suite of prospective exploration projects within Australia covering nickel, gold and manganese; whilst the flagship exploration is the Forrestania nickel project. Hannans is a shareholder of Atlas Iron Ltd. Hannans' shareholders are exposed to share price appreciation through exploration success at the following projects:

  • Forrestania nickel & gold project 7km north of Western Area's Flying Fox nickel mine, a portion of the Stormbreaker Prospect includes a Joint Venture with Cullen Resources Ltd (Hannans – 80%, Cullen – 20% free carry).
  • Lake Johnston nickel & gold project located 25km south east of Norilsk's Maggie Hays nickel mine and 100kms west of Norseman.
  • Queen Victoria Rocks nickel and gold project located 30km south-west of Coolgardie, WA.
  • Jigalong manganese & base metals project located 150km east of Newman, WA (proposed to be separated from the Hannans Group subject to shareholder approval).

Competent Persons Summary

The information in this document that relates to exploration results is based on information compiled by Mr Donald Huntly, Exploration Manager who is a Full Member of the Australian Institute of Geoscientists and a Registered Professional Geoscientist. Mr Huntly is a full-time employee with Hannans Reward Ltd. Mr Huntly has sufficient experience, which is relevant to the style of mineralisation and types of deposits under consideration and to the activity which has been undertaken to qualify as a Competent Person as defined by the 2004 edition of the "Australian Code for the Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves". Mr Huntly consents to the inclusion in the report of the matters based on the information in the form and context in which it appears.
