Forrestania Nickel
The Forrestania Nickel Project ("FNP") is located approximately 120km south of Southern Cross and 80km east of Hyden, in the Goldfields region of Western Australia (refer Figures 1 and 2 on pages 2 and 3).
Four diamond drill holes were recently completed to test four separate geophysical and geological targets located within the Western and Mid-Western Ultramafic sequences at the FNP1. All holes intersected iron sulphides of pyrrhotite-pyrite at the expected depths of the target horizons (refer Table 1 on page 4). Based upon geological inspection, the targets intersected are not expected to contain significant nickel grades.
The next phase of exploration planning for the FNP has commenced and shareholders will be advised when field work commences (refer Table 2 on page 5).
As previously advised the ultramafic belts at Forrestania host some of the most attractive nickel sulphide deposits in Australia and possibly the world. Its nickel sulphide endowment is remarkable having four mines with two open pits and nickel sulphides persisting beyond 1 km depth2 . All the mineralised belts that host the mines, resources, and prospects at Forrestania are represented within the Hannans ground package, particularly the Western Ultramafic belt that contains the highest-grade nickel deposits. It is principally for these reasons that Hannans persists with its methodical exploration process targeting a new nickel sulphide discovery.

| Phase | Explanation |
|---|---|
| DetailedReview | Review of all Hannans Forrestania Tenements with the emphasis on generating nickelsulphide targets. A geological-geochemical review and a geophysical review evaluatedpast work and recommended targeting bedrock geophysical anomalies mainly within theWestern Ultramafic belts. Prospects and anomalies were visited on the ground toground-truth geochemical and geophysical anomalies. |
| 1 | A stage-one drilling programme drilled FSRC060-FSRC066 testing these targets andintersected sulphides but no significant nickel sulphide intersections. Of the seven holesdrilled, two holes were surveyed using DHEM which resulted in an off-hole anomalywarranting follow-up in one. |
| 2 | Ground geophysical surveys employing Moving Loop and Fixed Loop electromagneticswere carried out in areas previously untested. Prospects and anomalies were visited onthe ground to check out geochemical and geophysical anomalies, two areas weresampled by soil sampling. Seven holes FSRC067-FSRC073 were drilled targeting bedrockgeophysical conductors and one geology-geochemical target. One lithium dedicatedhole FSRC074 was drilled. Encouraging nickel-copper values were intersected inultramafic rocks along the Western Ultramafic Belts. DHEM was undertaken whichconfirmed that most of the geophysical anomalies were intersected by drilling andseveral new targets were generated that warrant further follow-up. |
| 3 | Historic results were evaluated in conjunction with recent geophysical and drilling resultsGeophysical models and anomalies were reviewed and refined. Diamond drill testing offour targets within the Western and Mid-Western Ultramafic sequence was contractedto commence in June 2021. These holes were drilled, all 4 holes encountered bedrocksulphides and are reported above in Table 1. |
| 4 | A critical review of results so far at Forrestania Project is in progress. The next phase ofexploration planning for the FNP has commenced and shareholders will be advised whenfield work commences. |
Moogie (Copper-Gold & Nickel-Copper)
The Moogie cooper-gold and nickel-copper project is located approximately 260km north-west of Meekatharra in the East Gascoyne region of Western Australia (refer Figure 4 on page 6).
Moogie represents a conceptual greenfield exploration opportunity based on large-scale tectonic controls on mineralisation. The concept is that deep, long-lived crustal scale structures like major shear zones represent excellent tectonic settings for large scale mineralising events. Government seismic lines indicate the surface expression of a major structure occurs with the Moogie Project3.
Following a review of the major airborne magnetic survey, available remote sensing data, geochemical and thin section analysis and four field visits, Hannans is assessing deposit models best described as:
- Hydrothermal silica-magnetite breccia systems with discreet magnetic anomalies that have potential for IOCG mineralization (Moogie Breccia); and
- Mafic and ultramafic parts of the gneissic lithology with geochemistry indicative of magmatic fractionation of the protolith, a process that is key to development of magmatic sulphides generally, including nickel-copper sulphides (Minni Ritchi and Ghallangee).
Two approaches to further investigate the potential for IOCG mineralization include a ground gravity survey (to be completed in August 2021), along with a lithium-borate fusion analysis of selected pulps.
3 Refer ASX release dated 3 June 2020 for further information.
Following interpretation of the gravity survey and geochemistry Hannans will decide if the Moogie Breccia and surrounds justifies further exploration.
The Minni Ritchi and Ghallangee mafic and ultramafic intrusive prospects require further data collection and validation prior to understanding their potential. The final phase of a project mapping / soil sampling program will be completed (in August) along with prospect scale mapping. After consideration of the merits of several additional exploration techniques it was determined that a regional and prospect scale airborne electromagnetic (EM) survey would be flown (in September 2021). If justified, ground EM surveys will be completed over anomalous geochemical and geophysical responses. Targets generated at the end of this process will be drill tested.
An airborne magnetic survey was flown in May 2021 over two recently granted tenements and interpretation of the data is ongoing. The purpose of the survey is to obtain detailed magnetic resolution over structures considered to have potential to host a major mineralised gold system. The first geochemical sampling program will occur after interpretation of the magnetic data (in September).

| Phase | Explanation |
|---|---|
| Concept | Can the position and nature of the major structure at Moogie be defined, andits mineral potential explored? Hannans is targeting discovery of a large, longlife, low cost gold, copper and or nickel-copper-PGE deposits (Tier 1). Thedeposit models being investigated include both: orogenic Au and or Cu; andintrusion hosted Ni-Cu-PGE. (October 2019) |
| Proof of Concept | Detailed aeromagnetic datacollection and interpretation, geochemicalsampling and interpretation, mapping and thin section analysis resulted inproof of concept. (December 2019 – June 2020) |
| Deposit Models | Following the collection of additional geochemical data, mapping,andinterpretation plus a detailed review of all historic and modern data, focushas turned todeposit modelsbest described as:hydrothermal silicamagnetite breccia systems (Moogie Breccia); andmafic and ultramaficintrusive systems hosting magmatic sulphides (Minni Ritchi and Ghallangee)(E09/2373, E09/2374 and E09/2417). The opportunity for orogenic goldmineralisation also remains in tenements (E09/2460 and E09/2461) (July 2020– June 2021). |
Fraser Range (Nickel-Copper)
The Fraser Range nickel-copper project is located 100km east of Norseman, Western Australia (refer Figure 6 on page 8).

A heritage agreement was signed during the Quarter and all tenement applications were granted. Unfortunately, crew availability and ground conditions resulted in the planned ground electromagnetic (EM) surveys being postponed. As soon as practical Hannans will complete the EM surveys over priority targets within tenements E63/2023 – 2026. 4 Heritage approvals have been received for the ground EM surveys. Hannans is reviewing its position in relation to the joint venture into E63/1772.

Figure 6: Plan of the Hannans tenure at the Fraser Range**.**
Southern Cross (Nickel & Gold)
Hannans has the option to purchase a 90% interest in EL77/2691 located between Southern Cross and Bullfinch in Western Australia (refer Figure 1 on page 2).5
After the Quarter ended the tenement application was granted, however permission from private landowners to commence exploration hasn't been obtained thus far. Ground geophysical surveys targeting ultramafic rocks having the potential to host nickel sulphide mineralisation have been planned and will commence once access is obtained.
Forrestania Gold
Joint venture partner, Classic Minerals Ltd (ASX:CLZ), is funding exploration on the Forrestania Gold Project. Hannans owns a 20% free-carried interest in the FGP6 meaning Hannans is not required to fund the costs of exploration until a decision to mine gold has been made by the joint venture. For the avoidance of doubt Hannans owns a 100% interest in all non-gold rights on the tenements including but not limited to nickel, lithium, and other metals. Hannans continues to monitor the joint venture partners exploration activities for gold.
