Review of operations

Projects

Southern Cross Gold & Nickel Project

Hannans signed an option to purchase a 90% interest in exploration license application E77/2691 located between Southern Cross and Bullfinch in Western Australia. Hannans believes the Tenement is both strategic and prospective due to:

  • its location adjacent to historic gold mines that are undergoing renewed gold exploration activity due to high gold prices (refer Adaman Resources and Altan Rio);
  • the minimal amount of sustained exploration for nickel sulphides that has been undertaken in the Southern Cross area;
  • its location between known nickel sulphide locations (Forrestania nickel deposits to the south, Trough Well to the north); and
  • the presence of what appear to be fertile host rocks for nickel sulphides within the Tenement (both komatiitehosted and layered mafic intrusion related).

Hannans commenced a detailed historic data review and target generation process. The Tenement is expected to be granted in the 2nd Quarter of 2021 following which approvals will be sought to commence:

  • ground geophysical surveys targeting ultramafic rocks that have the potential to host nickel sulphide mineralisation; and
  • aircore / RC drilling targeting high grade gold mineralisation.

Fraser Range

Hannans signed an agreement to earn a 70% interest in granted exploration license E63/1772 located 100km east of Norseman, Western Australia. Access to the Tenement is excellent, with Highway 1 passing through the Tenement.

The Tenement covers prospective rocks and is favourably located in the context of the Fraser Range, being half-way between the Nova-Bollinger mine (owned by IGO Ltd) and the Talbot / Gnama South nickel occurrences. It is on the western 'edge' of the gravity anomaly (area of high gravity gradient) where other nickel sulphide occurrences are noted along strike. There has been a total lack of surface electromagnetic (EM) coverage of the Tenement, despite the presence of historic geochemical and magnetic anomalies of interest, and this represents an opportunity to rapidly progress exploration.

Hannans commenced a detailed historic data review and target generation process over the Tenement. A site visit was completed late 2020 in preparation for the first ground EM survey scheduled for early 2021. The ground EM survey was planned to target prospective rocks that might represent the host to economic nickel-copper mineralisation. If targets are generated, approvals will be sought to test the targets with deeper drilling.

Forrestania Nickel Project

Hannans completed its second phase of nickel sulphide focussed drilling at Forrestania located approximately 120km south of Southern Cross and 80km east of Hyden, Western Australia.

Forrestania is an attractive region to be targeting nickel sulphide mineralisation. 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 depth . 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.

Eight RC holes were drilled targeting several Moving Loop Electromagnetic (MLEM) anomalies, geological and geochemical targets generated earlier in the year. Downhole Electromagnetic surveys (DHEM) were completed late 2020 in the RC holes and several DHEM anomalies (both in-hole and off-hole) resulted from this work. A review of the geophysical modelling (DHEM & MLEM) and geological interpretation is ongoing and will be completed prior to determining which anomalies require follow-up in 2021. Assays from the RC drilling confirmed the Forrestania Nickel Project contains prospective ultramafic lithologies. Disseminated sulphide intersections with anomalous nickel and copper were also intersected. This information will form the basis for further exploration in the Western Ultramafic sequence at Forrestania in 2021.

Hannans initiated planning the third phase of nickel sulphide exploration drilling which is scheduled to start early 2021.

Forrestania Gold Project

Hannans joint venture partner at the Forrestania Gold Project (FGP) continued to deliver encouraging gold exploration results. Hannans is free-carried at the FGP which means shareholders retain a 20% interest in the gold rights at Forrestania without the need to fund exploration costs.

Moogie Gold & Nickel-Copper Project

The Moogie Project is located approximately 260km north-west of Meekatharra and 270km east of Carnarvon, Western Australia.

A third round of surface sampling was also completed and main Moogie tenement is expected to be granted in 2021, after which heritage surveys and aircore drilling can be planned if justified.

Hannans also applied for two new tenement applications over structural targets prospective for gold. Airborne geophysical surveys over the new applications will commence late March 2021.

Corporate

Capital raising

Hannans completed a share purchase plan (SPP) and Placement that raised $1.605 million at an issue price of 0.44 cents per share. The SPP raised $1,055,000 and the Placement raised $550,000.

Hannans hold 687,594 ordinary shares in ASX listed Errawarra Resources Ltd and 575,000 ordinary shares in unlisted Critical Metals Ltd (last capital raising price 40c in February 2021).

1. Reporting Entity

Hannans Ltd (Hannans or the Company) is a company limited by shares, incorporated and domiciled in Australia, and whose shares are publicly traded on the Australian Securities Exchange. The consolidated half-year financial report of the Group as at and for the six months ended 31 December 2020 comprises the Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the Group).

The consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian Dollars, which is the Group's functional and presentation currency.

The financial report of Hannans for the half-year ended 31 December 2020 was authorised for issue by the Directors on 12 March 2021.

The nature of the operations and principal activities of the consolidated entity are described in the Directors' Report.

The consolidated annual financial report of the Group as at and for the year ended 30 June 2020 is available upon request from the Company's registered office or at www.hannans.com.

2. Basis of preparation and changes to the accounting policies

(a) Basis of preparation

This general purpose condensed financial report for the half-year ended 31 December 2020 has been prepared in accordance with AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Act 2001.

The half-year financial report does not include all notes of the type normally included within the annual financial report and therefore cannot be expected to provide as full an understanding of the financial performance, financial position and financing and investing activities of the consolidated entity as the full financial report. It is recommended that the half-year financial report be read in conjunction with the annual financial report for the year ended 30 June 2020 and considered together with any public announcements made by the Company during the half-year ended 31 December 2020 in accordance with the continuous disclosure obligations of the ASX Listing Rules.

The half-year financial report has been prepared on a historical cost basis except for financial assets which are measured at fair value through profit and loss.

Apart from the changes in accounting policy in note 2(b), the accounting policies and methods of computation are the same as those adopted in the most recent annual financial report.

Going concern basis of preparation

The Group recorded a loss of $907,275 (Dec 2019: $1,028,397) for the half-year ended 31 December 2020 and had a net cash outflow from operating and investing activities of $838,922 (Dec 2019: $840,872 net outflow) for the halfyear ended 31 December 2020. The Group had cash and cash equivalents at 31 December 2020 of $1,622,027 (Jun 2020: $855,949) and has a working capital surplus of $1,292,035 (Jun 2020: $704,739 surplus).

The Group's cashflow forecast for the period 1 February 2021 to 31 December 2022 reflects that the Group will need to raise additional working capital during the quarter ending 31 December 2021 to enable the Group to continue to meet its current committed administration and exploration expenditure.

Notwithstanding the above matters, the Directors are satisfied they will be able to raise additional working capital as required and thus it is appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis. In arriving at this position the Directors have considered the following pertinent matters:

  • The planned exploration expenditure is staged and expenditure may or may not be spent depending on the result of the prior exploration stage; and
  • The Directors are satisfied that they will be able to raise additional funds by either an equity raising and/or implementation of joint ventures agreements to fund ongoing exploration commitments and for working capital.

In the event that the Group is unable to raise additional funds to meet the Group's ongoing working capital requirements when required, there is a significant uncertainty as to whether the Group will be able to meet its debts as and when they fall due and thus continue as a going concern.

The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts, nor to the amounts or classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Group not be able to continue as a going concern.

for the half-year ended 31 December 2020

2. Basis of preparation and changes to the accounting policies (cont'd)

(b) Changes in accounting policies

New standards, interpretations and amendments adopted by the Group

The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the interim consolidated financial statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Group's annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2020, except for the adoption of new standards effective as of 1 July 2020. The Group has not early adopted any standard, interpretation or amendment that has been issued but is not yet effective.

Several amendments and interpretations apply for the first time in 2020, but do not have an impact on the interim consolidated financial statements of the Group.

The recoverability of the carrying amount of the exploration and evaluation assets isdependent on the continuance of the consolidated entities right to tenure of the interest, theresults of future exploration and the successful development and commercial exploration, or

alternatively, sale of the respective area of interest. For those areas of interest de-recognised during the half year, exploration results indicates the subsequent successful development and commercial exploration may be unlikely and the decision was made to discontinue activities in these areas, resulting in full de recognition of the capitalised exploration and evaluation in relation to the related areas of interest.

(ii) On 30 November 2020 the Company signed an option to purchase 90% interest in E77/2691 for $100,000 payable in three instalments, $25,000 on acceptance of the offer, $50,000 on grant of the Tenement and $25,000 within six months of grant. The Company paid cash of $25,000 upon signing. If the tenement is not granted, the $25,000 option fee paid will be refunded to the Company.

The management assessed that cash and short-term deposits, trade receivables, trade payables and other current liabilities approximate their carrying amounts largely due to the short term maturities of these instruments.

The fair value of the financial assets is included at the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale. The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value:

(i) Fair value of equity instruments and financial assets is derived from quoted market prices in active markets.

(ii) The lowest level input has been used to fair value unquoted ordinary shares. The investment was fair valued using the most recent capital raise dated May 2020.

16. Subsequent events

No matters or circumstances have arisen since 31 December 2020 that may significantly affect, the operations of the consolidated entity, the results of those operations, or the state of affairs of the consolidated entity in future financial years.
