EXPLORATION

SUMMARY AND HIGHLIGHTS

By Amanda Scott, Exploration Manager

Hannans holds a portfolio of mineral assets in Sweden, Norway and Australia. Its dual strategy is focused on creating a pathway to production for the Kiruna Iron Project in Sweden, supplemented with precious and base metals exploration in Sweden, Norway and Australia.

Summary

Sweden & Norway

  • § Flagship Kiruna Iron Project with a current combined JORC Resource of 473.7Mt @ 40.5% Fe[1] (magnetite) and Exploration Target of 203-273Mt @ 32.1%-39.6% Fe[2] (magnetite).

  • § Pipeline of projects covering gold, copper-gold and lead-zinc prospects in Sweden and Norway.

  • Australia

  • § Forrestania – nickel & gold project located 7km north of Western Area’s high grade nickel mines.

  • § Lake Johnston – nickel & gold project located 25km south east of Norilsk’s Maggie Hays nickel mine and 100kms west of Norseman, Western Australia.

  • § Queen Victoria Rocks – nickel and gold project located 30km south-west of Coolgardie, Western Australia.

  • § East Pilbara Project – gold and base metals projects located east of Newman, Western Australia.

Highlights

Sweden & Norway

  • § Infill diamond drilling programme consisting of 19 holes (total 6,634m) was completed in September 2012 at the Rakkurijoki iron deposit, Sweden:

  • High grade iron mineralisation intercepted from infill drilling at Rakkurijoki iron deposit including 51m @ 46.6% Fe from 189.9m.

  • § Positive preliminary metallurgical results received from both Altavaara and Paljasjärvi iron prospects indicating premium grade concentrates (>68% Fe) are obtainable.

  • § Exploration diamond drilling of three holes (total 653m) testing a highly prospective gold target was completed during July 2012 at the Särksjön project, Sweden.

  • Low grade gold mineralisation was intercepted in all three holes at Särksjön including 7m @ 1g/t Au from 74m.

Australia

  • § Petrographical analysis of drill chips confirms the presence of nickel sulphides at Mt Gordon nickel prospect, Lake Johnston.

  • § Application for Exploration Incentive Scheme (EIS) funding for additional drilling at the Mt Gordon nickel discovery was made during the Quarter.

1 Refer to page 14 for Hannans’ JORC Compliant Indicated and Inferred Resource tables.

2 The JORC Exploration Targets have been subjected to diamond drill testing, ground geophysics and interpretation by Hannans reviewed by Mr Thomas Lindholm, of GeoVista AB. The potential quantity and grade of the exploration targets is conceptual in nature, there has been insufficient interpretation to define a JORC Mineral Resource and it is uncertain if further interpretation will result in the determination of a JORC Mineral Resource.

KIRUNA IRON PROJECT

==> picture [446 x 356] intentionally omitted <==

RAKKURIJOKI

  • § Infill diamond drilling at the Rakkurijoki iron deposit was finalised for the year totalling 19 holes for 6,634m bringing the total number of holes drilled by Hannans to 35 for a total of 12,087m (includes 6 holes at the Rakkurijärvi iron prospect, located 2km along strike from Rakkurijoki).

  • § Approximately 5,240m remain to be drilled to complete the 100m infill programme but all of these holes need to be drilled during winter when the ground is frozen. A work plan for this final phase of 100m infill drilling is currently being prepared with drilling anticipated to commence in late January 2013.

  • § Once the 100m infill programme is completed (approximately April 2013) a resource update will commence; it is anticipated that having completed the 100m-spaced infill drilling the majority of inferred tonnes will move into the indicated category.

  • § During the Quarter a scoping study to mine the Rakkurijoki iron deposit was initiated. The Rakkurijoki iron deposit is the most advanced within the Kiruna Iron Project. From a strategic standpoint, the Rakkurijoki deposit presents the best opportunity for Hannans to build an operating mine and thus become an iron ore producer.

  • § The scoping study aims to confirm or discard the technical and financial viability of the Rakkurijoki deposit as a standalone operation. The scope of works is being provided by Rock Team[3] and supported by Vectura[4] includes but is not limited to the following tasks:

  • Whittle optimisations and schedules (4 scenarios);

  • Final and stage pit designs;

  • Waste and moraine dump designs;

  • Evaluating and reporting inventories for the pit designs;

3 Rock Team is providing Technical Services and is responsible for the delivery of the scoping study.

4 Vectura is a specialist in transport infrastructure and movement planning in Sweden, Vectura will provide Rock Team with key logistic information which will feed into the scoping study.

ALTAVAARA

  • § The Altavaara iron prospect is located in the Kiruna North Hub, 15km south of Kiruna and just 600m from the E10 highway.

  • § Preliminary metallurgical test work results on drill core samples from Altavaara were received subsequent to the end of the Quarter (refer ASX Announcement dated 24 October 2012).

  • § The DTR results confirm that a high grade (>70% Fe) magnetite concentrate can be produced from ore at Altavaara despite the low feed grades (average 24%).

  • § In late 2011, 13 diamond drill holes were completed and in January 2012 an updated Exploration Target was released for Altavaara being:

  • 55-60Mt @ 26-29% Fe[5]

PALJASJÄRVI

  • § The Paljasjärvi iron prospect is located in the Lannavaara Hub, 70km trucking distance from the nearest rail head at Svappavaara.

  • § Preliminary metallurgical test work results on historic drill core samples from Paljasjärvi were received subsequent to the end of the Quarter (refer ASX Announcement dated 24 October 2012).

  • § The DTR results confirm that a high grade (>66% Fe) magnetite concentrate can be produced from ore at Paljasjärvi. The results also showed that the sulphur levels in the concentrate were elevated which is expected from skarn iron ores from the Kiruna District.

  • § The Paljasjärvi iron prospect is the priority exploration target in the Kiruna district for Hannans owing to its large strike length of iron mineralisation (magnetite) which is approximately 3,500m.

  • § Diamond drilling of approximately 10 holes has been planned and all governmental approvals have been received. This initial drill programme will focus on the southern half of the deposit and will have a profile spacing of approximately 200m.

  • § The current JORC Exploration Target for Paljasjärvi is:

  • 40-60Mt @ 30-40% Fe.

PRIORITY PRECIOUS AND BASE METALS PROJECTS

SÄRKSJÖN PROJECT

  • § Diamond drilling of three holes along a single profile, for a total of 652m, was completed during July at the Särksjön gold project located in the Swedish Caledonide Front. The drilling was designed to test a coincident IP and EM anomaly generated by the company in 2011 and also to follow up on high-grade mineralised outcrop sampled in 2010.

  • § Assay results from the diamond drilling have been received and are located in Table 3 below; whilst low-grade, a contiguous gold-mineralised zone was intercepted in all three holes. The mineralisation is characterised by strong silicification and intense arsenopyrite mineralisation within a wider marginal zone of weakly disseminated pyrite, pyrrhotite, and arsenopyrite. Lead, zinc and molybdenum values were anomalous but not economic.

  • § The host rocks at Särksjön are intensely deformed which is consistent with rocks located in the Caledonides, despite this; the low-grade gold-arsenic mineralisation can be traced between the three diamond drillholes and appears to be undeformed. Locally, high-grade gold (>10g/t Au) mineralisation as seen in outcrop and historic drill core, appears to be located within small scale (cm) fold hinges.

  • § Further work is required to fully understand the controls on gold mineralisation at Särksjön and to determine if any economic concentrations of high-grade gold located in larger scale, possible first order, fold hinges occur within the project.

FISKARFJELLET PROJECT

  • § The Fiskarfjellet Project is located approximately 25km southwest of Alta, northern Norway.

  • § During the 2011 summer field season a sediment hosted copper discovery was made by Hannans at Fiskarfjellet. Mapping at the project has revealed several kilometres of copper-mineralised dolomitic limestone across three separate dolomite horizons namely at Fiskarvatnet, Flomvatnet and Kvartpååttevatnet. High-grade copper mineralisation was also discovered at the Flintfjellet prospect located a further 10-15km southwest of Fiskarfjellet.

  • § During the 2012 summer field season further mapping and sampling of the dolomite horizons has occurred in addition to sampling of the wall-rock siltstone. Minor chalcopyrite mineralisation has been identified in the wallrock siltstones at both Fiskarvatnet and Kvartpååttevatnet (AL12001).

  • § At the Flintfjellet prospect all samples collected to date (AL12002-AL12006, AL11090-AL11091) have come from an extensive dolomite boulder field/train. During the Quarter mapping of the dolomite boulder train (approximately 1km) located additional dolomite boulders with high-grade Cu-Ag mineralisation and up to 1.26 g/t Au. The mineralised boulders are found in a limited area within the dolomite boulder field.

  • § The copper mineralisation in the dolomite boulders is largely chalcocite-bornite veining. Occasionally the dolomitechert is brecciated with a semi-massive to massive chalcocite-bornite matrix. See Table 4 below for assay results.

  • § 5km to the southwest of the Flintfjellet boulder train, stratabound Cu-Ag mineralisation of the Fiskar-type was discovered along the contacts of two extensive dolomite layers of the Storviknes Formation although from the few exposures mapped the potential for significant thickness of copper mineralised dolomite rocks appears small (AL1212007-AL12010).

  • § The Norwegian Geological Survey (NGU) completed airborne electromagnetic, magnetic and radiometric surveys over the Fiskarfjellet Project during the Quarter as part of a larger government-funded study of the AltaKvænangen tectonic window. The data is expected to be released to the public in late 2012.

  • § Hannans will process, model and interpret the NGU airborne data when it becomes available and will then seek to carry out IP surveys in areas identified as prospective from the airborne data.

NJIVLOJÁVRI PROJECT

  • § The Njivlojávri Project is located 35km northwest of Kautokeino (northern Norway).

  • § During the 2011 summer field season Hannans identified a >2km long copper-gold anomaly generated through C- Horizon soil sampling (50 x 200m spacing) at the Njivlojávri Project. The anomaly appears to be bound to a mineralised shear zone. Hannans also discovered copper-gold mineralisation in float samples at the Suovrrajávri Prospect which sits between known mineralisation to both the north and south.

  • § Additional rock sampling of quartz-carbonate-chalcopyrite veins and prospecting in the eastern part of the licenses was completed during the 2012 summer field season. A total of 8 samples were collected and results are listed in Table 5 below.

  • § An infill C-Horizon soil sampling programme and a ground magnetic survey were also planned for the summer field season at Njivlojávri but have been postponed until 2013 due to a governmental delay in permitting.

PROJECT PIPELINE

Hannans is committed to building its pipeline. Many projects are assessed with a view to converting the projects into priority projects or relinquishing them. This process is a key part of Hannans’ project generation strategy.

ÅGGOJAURE

  • § The Åggojaure Project is located approximately 100km northwest of Karesuando (northern Sweden). The project is located in the under-explored and poorly understood Archaean terrane of Norrbotten.

  • § Permits were applied for and granted during the Quarter after Hannans identified this area as an area of mineral prospectivity given the age of the rocks. Archive research showed molybdenum was identified in the project area in the early 1980’s by the Swedish Geological Survey. In 1992 a private prospector collected a sulphidic quartz outcrop sample located 1.7km east of the molybdenum mineralisation; re-assay of the original sample by Hannans during the Quarter returned a value of 38.7g/t Au.

  • § Hannans subsequently spent a week in late July 2012 in the field mapping and sampling at the Åggojaure Project. The mapping showed that thin (5-15cm) sulphide mineralisation (pyrite and minor chalcopyrite) occurred frequently along the several kilometre-long NNW and NNE shear zones and typically along sheared contacts of diabase dykes.

  • § Significant assay results include:

  • 0.27g/t Au, 60.4g/t Ag, 5.09% Cu and 2990ppm W (ÅG12005)

  • 1.43g/t Au, 2.6g/t Ag, 1.21% Cu (ÅG12026)

  • § Whilst the width of mineralisation at Åggojaure was disappointing the Archaean terrane in Norrbotten remains an area of exploration interest for Hannans.

VÅTMYRBERGET

  • § During August 2012 a ground magnetic survey was initiated at the Våtmyrberget Project, located in the northern Skellefte District, Sweden. The survey was focused on an area of outcropping poly-metallic mineralisation with magnetic profiles covering a strike length of 13km.

  • § The poly-metallic mineralisation at Våtmyrberget is hosted in felsic volcanics (rhyolite-trachyte) and is associated with magnetite mineralisation. Previously reported sampling by Hannans returned the following results:

  • 4.56% Cu, 32.5g/t Ag, 1,540 ppm W and 0.1g/t Au (KS08105)

  • 2.47% Cu, 29.8g/t Ag, 370ppm W and 0.39g/t Au (KS08106)

  • 0.9% Cu, 8.7g/t Ag, 2,470ppm W and 0.1g/t Au (KS08204)

  • § It is anticipated that the detailed ground magnetic survey will assist in targeting areas of magnetite and accompanying poly-metallic mineralisation. The remaining profiles will be surveyed during the winter.

RINGVASSØYA

  • § During September 2012 a ground magnetic survey was initiated and completed at the Ringvassøya Project located 80km north of Tromsø, Norway. The survey covered three prospect areas including Holmvasshøgda, Sørdalshøgda and Sørdalshøgda South. The results are yet to be interpreted by Hannans.

  • § 14 samples were also collected during the Quarter, 7 of which have been returned but with no significant results. The balance of assay results is expected in late October.

KVÆFJORD

  • § The Kvæfjord Project is located 15km west of the town on Harstad, central Norway and is comprised of three separate prospect areas; Kvæfjord, Straumsfjellet and Salen.

  • § During July 2012, 24 rock samples were collected in the area between the abandoned Berg Mine and the Storsurnåsen workings (Kvæfjord Prospect); results are listed in Table 6 below.

  • § C-Horizon soil sampling (81 samples) was also carried out during the quarter at the Kvæfjord Prospect covering an extensive, untested VLF conductor between Berg and Storsurnåsen. The peak copper value obtained from the soil sampling was 1,160ppm and the peak gold value was 0.014ppm.

  • § At the Straumsfjellet Prospect mapping and rock chip sampling was completed in September 2012 over polymetallic skarn horizons hosted in calcareous sediments and amphibolite. The strike length of the skarn horizons is approximately 1km although the mineralisation appears to be quite thin. Assay results are expected in late October 2012.

  • § A NGU funded airborne geophysics survey was flown over the Kvæfjord Project area during the Quarter with the data being released to the public on the 26[th] of October 2012; on receipt of the data in-house modelling and processing will commence.

UCCAVUOVDAS

  • § The Uccavuovdas Project is located 8km north of Kautokeino (northern Norway).

  • § Similar to Njivlojávri to the northwest, Uccavuovdas is prospective for shear-hosted copper-gold mineralisation. The permits have very few exposures of outcrop and are covered by a veneer of glacial material. Tectonically the area is very complex with several first order NNW-SSE oriented shear zones or structures cutting the stratigraphy.

  • § All known mineralisation within the permit area are localised along shear structures and the stratigraphy is comprised of albite-carbonate altered greenstones and amphibolites and graphite schists.

  • § The Uccavuovdas area has been explored by several companies and the NGU from as early as 1960. The most recent work completed was by Outokumpu where they drilled 16 diamond drill holes and also completed several campaigns of both airborne and ground geophysical surveys producing multiple anomalies, most of which remain to be tested.

  • § During September2012 Hannans took 121 C-Horizon soil samples which have identified a strong copper anomaly (peak copper value of 595ppm) that is also coincident with an airborne conductivity anomaly and a NW-SE magnetic lineament. In 2011 a small outcrop of albite-carbonate altered felsite breccia with veins and disseminations of chalcopyrite and pyrite returned an assay of 0.75g/t Au and 1.56% Cu (KA11049). Follow-up work is currently being planned for Uccavuovdas.

NORDKAPP AND SNEFJORD

  • § Follow-up of REE anomalies in regional till samples (historic till samples collected and re-assayed by NGU in 2011) was completed during the Quarter and involved mapping and a scintillometer survey. The REE-till anomalies are underlain by immature Caledonian nappe sediments (greywacke and mica schist) and radiation is very low consequently no further sampling was conducted by Hannans. Further research by NGU during 2012 indicates that the heavy mineral enrichment in the till might in fact be caused by deep weathering and glacially reworked saprolite. No further work is recommended at Nordkapp and Snefjord for REE.

  • § A single sample collected from a 1m thick massive-sulphide vein hosted in gabbro (Honningsvåg Suite), assayed 0.7% Cu and 0.3% Ni and requires further follow-up.

BRENNFJELLMYRA

  • § The Brennfjellmyra Project is located 5km southeast of the small town of Skibotn (northern Norway).

  • § Historic sampling by the NGU returned samples assay in the range 1-3g/t Au. During the Quarter Hannans followed-up on the NGU work and found additional workings with similar mineralisation (disseminated chalcopyrite-pyrrhotite) in a garnet bearing amphibolite and close to the contact with a metagabbro; 6 samples were collected and results are expected in late October.

RANA GRAPHITE

  • § During the Quarter a 7km long graphite-rich sedimentary horizon was mapped and sampled within the Rødingfjell Nappe, located 15km west of Mo i Rana, Norway. 10 rock chip samples were collected and assayed for carbon content which ranged between 2.2-6.4% C (organic). Due to the low total carbon content no flake size analysis was completed and no permit was applied for over the prospective horizon.

LAKE JOHNSTON

  • § The receipt of petrographic results during the quarter confirmed the presence of komatiite-hosted nickel sulphide mineralisation from RC drilling at the Lake Johnston project. This newly found sequence of komatiites is located in the southern portion of the Lake Johnston tenement package within the Mt Gordon prospect area. These results are highly encouraging for Hannans as they confirm the presence of a new sequence of nickel sulphide bearing komatiites, in an area which has no previous noted record of exploration for that style of mineralisation.

NICKEL PROJECT DIVESTMENT

At the end of the quarter the Hannans Board of Directors authorised a process to divest the company’s nickel project portfolio in Western Australia, which includes the:

  • § Forrestania Project (east of Hyden, Western Australia);

  • § Lake Johnston Project (west of Norseman, Western Australia); and

  • § Queen Victoria Rocks Project (south-west of Coolgardie).

The divestment process is consistent with Hannans business stratergy of moving away from pure high-risk greenfields exploration projects to a balanced mix of exploration and development assets.

Hannans is of the firm opinion that the projects subject to divestment are high quality and as a result will be looking to continue holding an interest in the projects by retaining a joint venture interest or hold equity in the incoming party. Hannans will be be seeking to retain a 100% interest in the gold rights only within the Skeleton Rocks area of the Forrestania Project.
