NORTH ORELIA DRILLING COMMENCES

• Drilling has commenced with an air core program designed to test soil geochemical anomalies identified at North Orelia

• The program is partly funded by a WA Government EIS grant and will complete approximately 10,000m of drilling at previously untested anomalies (see ASX announcement 15 September 2020)

• A detailed gravity survey planned for Bronzewing South has also commenced with the survey designed to better define structures and targets on the Bronzewing South property

Hammer Metals Ltd (ASX:HMX) (“Hammer” or the “Company”) is pleased to

advise that drilling has commenced at its Yandal Project with a planned 10,000m air

core program to test previously untested targets on the northern Orelia trend. The

program is expected to be completed during April with results likely to be received

through the second quarter of this year (see Figure 1 and 2).

The first trend to be tested is roughly coincident with Hammer’s Target 3 anomaly

but extends along the Target 3 zone to the north and south. This is a significant

anomaly and is approximately 5.6km in length and up to 800m in width (at the 3ppb

gold contour). Gold is closely related with presence of arsenic, antimony and

tellurium.

The second trend located to the east of Target 3 and close to a Granite-Greenstone

contact is approximately 1.1km by 800m (at the 3ppb gold contour). No drilling has

been conducted over this large anomaly.

Other discrete targets near Target 1 and to the east of previous drilling at Target 4

are also planned for this program.

A follow up gravity survey at Bronzewing South has also commenced with the survey

area to focus on the trend immediately south of the Bronzewing gold mine (see

Figure 3). The survey will help aid definition of the cross-cutting fault structures

whilst also identifying zones of interpretated quartz and carbonate veining.

Hammer’s Managing Director, Daniel Thomas said:

“The team is enthusiastically looking forward to re-commencing field activities in the

Yandal region for this year and progressing the anomalous soil sample zones

identified during last year’s field programs.

The second quarter is shaping as a busy period for Hammer with the return to drilling

in both the Yandal and Mount Isa regions. A return to drilling in the Mount Isa region

is also scheduled for April with a number of excellent targets likely to form the basis

of a significant field program in 2021.”
