Bronzewing South Au Project

The Bronzewing South Project is located in Western Australian within the heart of the highly prospective Yandal Belt, that boasts greater than 24 million ounces of gold deposits and current and historical gold production.

Hammer holds a 100% interest in approximately 290sqkm of tenements, located within the Yandal greenstone belt in Western Australia.  The Company acquired these projects in 2019 and has been busy exploring and expanding its footprint in a prime gold exploration region, located, close to existing infrastructure.   The Company remains keen to increase its exploration footprint in this prospective region.

GOLD Exploration

There are three main target areas that Hammer has focussed its exploration efforts to date:

  1. The Bronzewing mineralised corridor extending for 5km to the south of the 2.3 Moz Bronzewing Mine. This area is considered highly prospective due to the area’s disrupted exploration history and extensive blanketing by barren transported cover.  Previous drilling highlighted several anomalous zones within the Bronzewing corridor which have received limited follow-up with deeper RC and diamond drilling. 
  2. The Orelia trend shear zones extending for 15km along strike to the north of the Lotus pit and adjacent 1Moz Orelia gold deposit.  RAB interface and Aircore drilling to an average depth of <30m along the trend outlined numerous bottom-of-hole gold anomalies (0.1-1g/t Au) some of which have not been tested by deeper RC or diamond drilling. 
  3. The Kens Bore quartz vein target is located 11km southeast of Bronzewing.  Several strongly anomalous gold results in rock chips coinciding with a 3km long gold-in-soil anomaly at a granite – basalt contact marked by quartz veining. 

Potential remains to define a JORC compliant gold resource at Target 1 North Orelia.  Wide spread gold mineralisation has been defined over a 2km strike extent with highlighted drill results including:

  • 8m at 4.2g/t Au from 20m in BWSRC0025 including: 1m at 27.1g/t Au from 26m;
  • 5m at 3.5g/t Au from 25m in BWSRC0026 including:1m at 16.6g/t from 25m;
  • 4m at 6.3g/t Au from 77m in BWSRC0028;
  • 7m at 1.2g/t Au from 85m in BWSRC0031 including1m at 3.5g/t Au from 88m;
  • 14m @ 1.87g/t Au from 67m in BWSRC018 including4m @ 6.31g/t Au from 77m; and
  • 7m @ 1.17g/t Au from 85m including1m @ 3.50g/t Au.
