ANNUAL REPORT 2022HAMMER METALS LIMTED Introduction
Chairman's
Letter
It is my pleasure to present Hammer Metals’
Annual Report for the 2022 financial year.
Dear Fellow Shareholders,
I will leave Dan Thomas to outline in detail the Company’s activities
over the past year and what we have planned, but suffice it to
say copper exploration at Hammer’s Mount Isa project has been
the Company’s principal focus. A more modest gold program was
executed at Bronzewing South in WA.
At Mount Isa the Company’s joint venture with Sumitomo Metal
Mining Oceana Pty Ltd has proved to be a productive exploration
partnership, with a high level of activity being undertaken alongside
Hammer’s 100% funded exploration programs. The funding from
Hammer’s capital raisings last year along with the JV funding has
permitted strong and consistent exploration programs over the
period, with activities ranging from Hammer’s “large-target” project
generation work to the more field based geochemical, geological
and geophysical programs. Hammer has drilled over 24,500 metres
of aircore, RC and diamond drilling at its projects in the past 12
months with another RC program at Mount Isa currently underway.
There have been several very encouraging developments during
the year. Firstly, at Kalman, Hammer’s largest deposit containing an
estimated 360,000 tonnes of copper-equivalent metal, extensional
drilling identified new shallow copper-gold-molybdenum-rhenium
zones that have good potential to add shallow open-pittable
material to the Kalman resource inventory. This discovery along with
a sustained improvement in the molybdenum price and the positive
results from the initial ore sorting test work have enhanced Kalman’s
development potential and provide strong justification for a rigorous
campaign to move Kalman forward. A program of extensional and
definition drilling of this new zone is currently underway, and the
next stage of metallurgical test work is being planned.
Of most benefit to Hammer’s growth and capacity to expedite the
potential development of Hammer’s resources will be the discovery
of additional high-grade copper mineralisation within trucking
distance of Kalman and I am pleased to note that progress is being
made in this regard.
New zones of high-grade copper mineralisation have been
discovered at Ajax, Ajax East and Pearl highlighting the substantial
potential for discovering new resources along the +10km long
Trafalgar trend. A Mineral Resource Estimate for the Lake View
copper-gold deposit located 2km west of Ajax is also underway.
4
With respect to Hammer’s “large target” generative work the
Company has delineated new IOCG targets “under cover” at
Bullrush, located 10km north of Rio Tinto’s recent discovery of a
large IOCG system at Devoncourt. Other exciting developments
Include the discovery of a previously untested large-scale altered
and mineralised zone at Jimmy’s Creek, as well as a series of strong
VTEM conductors north of the high-grade Tick Hill gold mine. Both
these areas are located adjacent to the regional scale Pilgrim Fault,
in a similar structural position to the Kalman Deposit.
In the background Hammer has been assembling a suite of exciting
Rare Earth Element (REE) targets such as Hardway and Yellowstone.
These targets will be drilled in coming months.
There is good reason to look forward to the year ahead. Although
metal prices have softened in recent months the range of
commodities in Hammer’s portfolio are fundamental to supporting
the global energy transition, and our gold project provides a useful
option on a recovery in the gold price. Increasing corporate activity
in the copper space in general, as well as in the Mount Isa district
itself, are all positive indicators that Hammer is well positioned both
in a geographical and commodity sense.
In conclusion I would like to thank Hammer’s supportive shareholders,
our joint venture partners at Mount Isa (Sumitomo Metal Mining
Oceania and Glencore) as well as our small but effective team led
by Dan for their efforts over the past year. The Hammer Metals
team is committed to making a significant exploration discovery
and delivering a positive outcome for our shareholders.
Sincerely,
Russell Davis
Chairman

Highlights
■ Extension of known mineralisation at Hammer’s Kalman
Cu/Au/Mo/Re project at shallow depths to the north of the
existing JORC resource.
■
Discovery of the Ajax and Pearl copper/gold trends. These
prospects extend for ~5km from the northern edge of the
Trafalgar trend and continue up to Hammer’s Lakeview prospect.
The highly prospective trend contains a significant sulphide rich
system with zones of high-grade copper occurrences.
■ Hammer acquired new tenements across a southern section
of the Mount Isa fault and along the prospective IOCG corridor
near Mount Hope and along the Fountain Range Fault.
■ Completion of broad scale geophysical programs including
ground, downhole and airborne EM surveys, IP surveys,
detailed gravity surveys and aerial and ground magnetic surveys
generating sizeable highly prospective copper/gold targets.
■ Completed over 24.5km of drilling across a wide variety of
targets in the Mount Isa and Yandal projects.
■ Continued to define new prospective targets across lightly
explored tenure in the Yandal gold belt.

ANNUAL REPORT 2022HAMMER METALS LIMTED Corporate Stategy
Corporate
Activity
During the year, the Company further enhanced its
standing in the Mount Isa region through several new
tenement applications in the highly sought after Mount Isa
copper district.
The Company’s corporate activities are focussed on enhancing
the capacity of our exploration team to make discoveries
through adequate funding, as well as securing tenements or
projects that improve the quality and potential of the Company’s
exploration portfolio.
The company continued to grow its portfolio with the addition
of several prospective tenements near the Company’s existing
tenure along the Fountain Range and Mount Isa fault structures.
In August, 2021 the company officially welcomed Sumitomo Metal
Mining Oceania (“SMMO”) as our new partner in the Mount Isa
East Joint Venture.
With a reinvigoration of our Mount Isa exploration portfolio,
activities at our Yandal project slowed during the year. Tenure
acquired during FY21 were subject to their inaugural work
programs with initial programs delineating new and exciting
nickel and gold targets.
Earlier in FY22, the Company successfully divested its non-core
early-stage Iron Ore project in Western Australia for a consideration
of $325,000 and a future NSR royalty of 0.5% on all Iron Ore sales.
During the period, the Company completed a diamond drilling
program targeting copper mineralisation below the Mount Phiilp Iron
Ore project. The program, as part of the MIEJV, was part funded with
the assistance of a ~$148k Collaborative Exploration Incentive (CEI)
grant from the Queensland State Government. The Company also
successfully applied for and received a Research and Development
Tax Incentive refund of ~$615k from the Federal Government.
As reported in an ASX release on 15 July 2021, the company finalised
the FY21 capital raising with shareholder approval for the director’s
participation in the program with 6,842,104 shares purchased
at a price of 9.5c per share raising an additional $650,000. No
additional fundraising activities occurred during FY22.
Management actively interacts with the investment and exploration
community. The Company’s website (www.hammermetals.com.au)
provides additional project and corporate information and access

ANNUAL REPORT 2022HAMMER METALS LIMTED Operations Summary
Mt Isa Project
(QLD)
The Company is an active mineral explorer in the Mount
Isa region, focused on discovering large copper-gold
deposits of the Ernest Henry style and has a range of
prospective targets at various stages of testing.
Over the past 12 months, international molybdenum prices
have continued to strengthen and when considered with the
corresponding movements in copper prices the attractiveness
of the Kalman JORC resource increases.
Further drilling along the Trafalgar trend continued to deliver
zones of copper and gold mineralisation and when considered
with the mineralisation seen at Ajax and Pearl, it highlights the
prospective nature of the 18km trend from the south of Trafalgar
through to the Elaine (100% HMX) and the Jubilee (51% HMX)
copper-gold deposits.
Broad scale geophysical programs, including Electromagnetic
(EM), Induced Polarisation (IP), Gravity and Magnetic surveys
have further contributed to a growing list of impressive IOCG
targets for Hammer in the Mount Isa region. Further ground
truthing and geochemical soil sampling programs will lead to
the maturation of these prospects and their drilling in FY23.
With defined copper-gold resources at Kalman, Overlander,
Elaine and Jubilee (51% HMX) and significant mineralisation
being discovered at Trafalgar, Lakeview and Ajax, Hammer is
focussing on the expansion of its mineral inventory with a view
to advancing the company to become a future base metal miner.
Exploration also expanded to the southern regions of Hammer’s
tenement holdings with drilling at Overlander and targets being
defined at Mascotte and Mount Hope South. The attractiveness
of this region has been further enhanced with several targets
being identified in a VTEM survey along the Pilgrim fault in the
Tick Hill region. Several areas have been identified for further
geochemical, geophysical and field mapping activities with
drilling targets to be generated during the coming year.
Through its wholly owned subsidiaries, the Company holds a
strategic tenement position covering over 2,700km2 with 100%
interests in the Kalman (Cu-Au-Mo-Re) deposit, the Overlander
North and Overlander South (Cu-Co) deposits, the Elaine-Dorothy
(Cu-Au) deposit and a 51% interest in the Jubilee (Cu-Au) deposit.
The ground position is focused on major regional-scale structural
zones and extends for over 100km from Mary Kathleen in the
north to the Tick Hill area in the south.
The position established by Hammer over the past decade
secures Hammer an enviable position in one of the world’s most
prospective base metal provinces.
Renewed exploration success in the Mount Isa region and the
ongoing consolidation of prospective projects in the regionis a
timely reminder of the inherent value contained within Hammer’s
portfolio.
With the world’s increasing focus on cleaner forms of energy
and the pursuit of battery minerals for energy storage and
transportation, known existing mineral inventories will become
increasingly valuable.
The Company’s discovery of the Ajax/Pearl copper-gold trend
was the highlight of the year with a continued reinvigoration of
our exciting and advanced base metals prospects in Mount Isa.
New drilling at Kalman, the first in almost five years, extended the
known limits of shallow primary mineralisation and has opened
the potential for a resource upgrade to the project.
The extension of shallow mineralisation at Kalman has
encouraged the Company to embark on further exploration of
the deposit in addition to advancing our understanding of the
suitability of the mineralisation to be upgraded by ore sorting
and potential mine planning upgrades. The upcoming drilling
program which will comprise of further shallow exploration
drilling to the north of the deposit has the potential to rerate and
ultimately upgrade the economics of the project.

Copper-Gold Exploration
- Kalman and Surrounds
▲ Kalman Deposit
The Kalman Deposit contains 360kt of Copper
Equivalent Metal.
The Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resource at Kalman stands
at 20Mt at 0.61% Cu, 0.14% Mo, 0.34g/t Au and 3.7g/t Re (1.8%
CuEq) (ASX Announcement 27 September 2016). The deposit
remains open at shallow depths to the north whilst the down
plunge portions of high-grade mineralisation also remain open
at depth. With a molybdenum grade of 0.14%, Kalman is the third
highest grade undeveloped molybdenum resource in the world.
Kalman is Hammer’s most advanced prospect with significant
mineral inventory. It is near Hammer’s other JORC compliant
resources at Elaine, Jubilee (51% HMX) and Overlander as well
as the Company’s lead exploration projects at Trafalgar, Ajax and
Pearl. All are located within 30km of the main highway between
Mount Isa and Cloncurry.
During the year, four RC holes for a total of 776m were drilled
in a poorly tested area at the northern end of the deposit. The
successful delineation of near-surface mineralisation in this
area has potential to materially upgrade the Kalman resource.
Hammer has identified zones for further drilling, targeting this
lode along strike and at depth (ASX Announcement 15 February
2022) at the time of this report.

0.1g/t Re (0.79g/t CuEq) from 20m in K-144;
o Including 16m at 1.38% Cu, 0.01% Mo, 0.84g/t
Au, 0.62g/t Ag, and 0.04g/t Re (1.59% CuEq)
from 43m and 1m at 7.3g/t Au from 47m;
■ 22m at 0.82% Cu, 0.03% Mo, 0.37g/t Au, 0.8g/t Ag, and
0.63%Re (1.0% CuEq) from 99m in K-145;
o Including 8m at 1.41% Cu, 0.08% Mo, 0.75g/t Au,
1.5g/t Ag, and 1.7g/t Re (1.88% CuEq) from 99m; and

and 4.8g/t Re (1.74% CuEq) from 41m in K-142.
Mineralisation intercepted at 99m in hole K-145 represents an
extension of a mineralised lode approximately 100m to the north
of the existing JORC resource blocks. Future drilling will aim to
extend this zone of mineralisation which remains open at depth
and to the north.

Similarly, a broad zone of mineralisation intercepted in hole
K-144 potentially indicates the amalgamation of two interpreted
mineral lenses. The previous resource model also constrained
the eastern zone of mineralisation at depth below hole K-144.
This also represents a zone for further resource definition at
a shallow depth which would be amenable to future open pit
mining.
A 500kg composite metallurgical sample has been gathered
to trial ore sorting beneficiation technology on the project
while historical mining scenarios have been revisited to further
understand potential mining scenarios and the associated cut-off
grades. With copper prices hitting all-time highs (>US$10,000/t)
and molybdenum prices breaching US$45,000, there is an
opportunity to further evaluate potential development options
for Kalman and Hammer’s other copper deposits at Overlander
and Jubilee.
Plans for the coming year include:
■ Further drilling to add additional JORC resources at
shallow depths to the north of the deposit;
■ Build on the ore sorting testwork that has recently been
commissioned by the Company;
■ Update previous mining scenarios to determine potential
mining scenarios and associated cut-off grades; and
■ If warranted, embark on a new Scoping Study for the
deposit.

ANNUAL REPORT 2022HAMMER METALS LIMTED Operations Summary
▲ Kalman West
Kalman West is located approximately 1km west of the
Kalman Cu-Au-Mo-Re Deposit.
The prospect contains a multi-element soil anomaly partially
coincident with a zone of graphitic sediments and a correlating
VTEM anomaly. The zone has been previously drilled by Hammer
with noted zones of lead, zinc and gold anomalism. The anomaly
also aligns with the Magneto-Telluric anomaly that was identified
during Hammer’s 2020 Queensland government CEI funded survey.
Three holes for 487m were drilled at Kalman West targeting both
a MT/VTEM anomaly and a zone of surface quartz veining with
visible gold (ASX Announcement 14 October 2021).
HKWRC009 (299m TD) was drilled to test the shallow expression
of an MT anomaly beneath the Kalman West Shear Zone. This hole
intersected a copper bearing hanging wall zone on the western
margin of the Kalman West Shear Zone followed by anomalous
Pb-Zn-Ag mineralisation with induvial assays of up to 1.86% Pb,
0.95% Zn and 18.1g/t Ag hosted by graphitic metasediments.
Anomalous Au was intersected in structures interpreted to be
along strike of several significant gold intersections encountered
200m to the north.

ANNUAL REPORT 2022HAMMER METALS LIMTED Operations Summary
▲ Ajax
The Ajax prospect is located approximately
1.2km south-east of Lakeview along the 15km
Trafalgar-to-Jubilee mineralised trend.
Reconnaissance Reverse Circulation (RC) drill-hole HMLVRC014,
which was designed to test prospective surface geological
features on the Lakeview trend, intersected a significant zone
of high-grade copper and gold mineralisation: 11m @ 5.5% Cu
and 2.5g/t Au from 24m in HMLVRC014 was recorded (ASX
Announcement 9 March 2022).
Following this initial success, an EM conductor was identified
at Ajax East and the first diamond drill test of this prospect
successfully identified an extensive mineralised sulphidic
system containing high-grade copper mineralisation (ASX
Announcements dated 12 May 2022, 14 and 29 June 2022).
Significant intercepts recorded in HMLVDD001 include:
■ 0.75m at 7.31% Cu and 0.21g/t Au from 181.65m;
■ 5m at 1.10% Cu from 293.6m, including:
o 0.9m at 3.18% Cu from 297.7m; and
■ 0.75m at 4.73% Cu, 0.25% Ni and
842ppm Co from 342.1m.
HMLVDD001 at 258m down-hole. Example of chalcopyrite-pyrrhotite mineralisation encountered

HMLVDD001 at 342.7m down-hole. Example of chalcopyrite-pyrrhotite mineralisation encountered
in the footwall sulphide zone at Ajax east (ASX Announcement 29 June 2022).
16
ANNUAL REPORT 2022HAMMER METALS LIMITED Subsequent down-hole and fixed-loop electromagnetic surveys
have identified new conductive horizons while also increasing
the size of the modelled conductors. The overall strike extent of
the conductive horizon at Ajax East has been extended to more
than 1km and remains open to the north and potentially to the
south within the Mt Isa East JV area. Follow up soil sampling
programs were also completed to further define zones of copper
mineralisation along with ground magnetic and EM surveys.
A follow up drilling program was designed with six holes recently
being completed to test the prospective sulphide horizon at
various points along the anomalous copper and conductive
trend. Results were awaited at the time of this report.
Additional EM Conductors identified in hanging and footwall – cross-section

ANNUAL REPORT 2022HAMMER METALS LIMTED Operations Summary
▲ Lakeview
The Lakeview prospect is marked by historical workings
along an approximate 350m strike length.
Production records indicate that the former prospect was worked
in the 1960’s and early 1970’s with 1,213 tons of ore extracted at
a 16% Cu grade. The lode forms a distinctive sigmoidal shape with
shafts being present on the long limbs of the prospective structure.
The initial three-hole (300m) program was successful in delineating
mineralisation and a second nine-hole (1080m) program was
completed to further investigate mineralisation at depth (ASX
Announcement dated 22 June 2021 and 14 October 2021).
The aim of this follow-up drilling was to determine whether a Cu-
Au resource could be defined at Lakeview to add to Hammer’s
existing mineral resource inventory.
Modelling of the Lakeview drilling is underway with the aim of
releasing a Mineral Resource Estimate in the near term. The
deposit remains open down plunge with further drilling being
considered in upcoming programs.

18
ANNUAL REPORT 2022HAMMER METALS LIMITED ▲ Neptune
The Neptune project area is approximately 2km to the west
of Trafalgar in an area of complex magnetic anomalism with
multiple copper prospects.
Mineralisation is associated with magnetite alteration and shows
strong similarities to mineralisation at Trafalgar, Black Rock
and the Jubilee Cu-Au resource. This style of mineralisation
and alteration is typical of IOCG systems in the Mt Isa region.
Hammer’s previous drilling in the area returned several
encouraging intersections including 100m at 0.48% Cu and
0.18g/t Au.
Both targets were overlain by an elevated copper-in-soil
geochemical response. Both holes reached their target zones
and identified zones of magnetite with minor copper anomalism.
Hole HMNPRC002 tested the Morning Star target and intersected
a thin mineralised horizon. A hole planned at the Lady Amy target
could not be completed due to inclement weather and will be
added to the current RC drilling program.
Hammer undertook 760m of RC drilling at the Sirius, Morning
Star and Lady Kate prospects within the Neptune Project area.
Drilling at both the Lady Kate and Sirius targets was designed to
test aeromagnetic anomalies within the Ballara Quartzite.

ANNUAL REPORT 2022HAMMER METALS LIMTED Operations Summary
▲ Overlander
Three reverse circulation holes were drilled at
Overlander North.
Two of these holes (OVRC033 and OVRC034) were designed
to test the southern margin of the Overlander IOCG alteration
zone. Both holes intersected favourable alteration, however failed
to intersect significant mineralisation (ASX Announcement 14
October 2021).
The third hole, OVRC035 was designed to test a rhyolitic crackle
breccia on the eastern margin of Overlander North. The hole
intersected 78m @ 0.26% Cu from 75m.
The rhyolitic breccia outcrops sporadically over a 1.6km strike
length and is tested by only four holes (including OVRC035). The
unit can be up to 100m in true thickness (ASX Announcement
15 June 2015).
The other three holes have similar thick copper
intersections including:
■ 117 metres at 0.35% Cu from 43m in OVRC024;
■ 71m at 0.31% Cu from 61m in OVRC032; and
■ 137m at 0.27% Cu from 105m in K-11.
The rhyolitic crackle breccia at Overlander is considered to have
the potential to host a large tonnage Cu-Co resource. The Company
is continuing to assess this significant system for its potential to
host a large-scale economic zone of copper mineralisation.

ANNUAL REPORT 2022HAMMER METALS LIMITED Overlander is a large mineralised system with a strike extent in
excess of 6km – with numerous significant copper intercepts.
Overlander also hosts one of Hammer’s JORC resources,
however outside of the immediate resource area, the system
remains relatively underexplored.
Two holes for 869m were drilled at Overlander South testing two
targets. OVDD004 (589.5m TD) was designed to test an IP metal
factor (“IPMF”) geophysical model at depth while also intersecting
the Overlander south shear zone hosted mineralisation and the
interpreted position of the footwall rhyolite breccia.
The hole intersected a significant zone of alteration and
disseminated mineralisation in both the Overlander Shear and
the Footwall Rhyolite Breccia. Down-hole EM was conducted on
the hole resulting in the identification of three off-hole conductors.
Significant intercepts from OVDD004 include
(ASX Announcement 12 May 2022):
■ 20m at 0.37% Cu from 410m including
3.31m at 1.49% Cu from 419m;
■ 32.2m at 0.31% Cu from 500m; and

Following the report of a substantial IP anomaly in Hammer’s
Exploration Licence, Hammer completed an IP survey over
several of its Mount Hope prospects. The surveys have delineated
several significant anomalies which have been prioritised for
further investigation and drill testing. A maximum IP anomaly of
>42mv/v was recorded in the survey along trend from nearby
copper workings and represents an immediate drilling prospect.
The South Hope prospect was recently subject to detailed
geological mapping to define drill targets. Drilling aims to test
and extend the initial channel sample result of 20.3m @ 1.7% Cu

ANNUAL REPORT 2022HAMMER METALS LIMITED ▲ Mascotte and Mascotte Junction
Mascotte is located approximately 5km to the east of
South Hope and is a former copper mine, mined in the
early 1900’s.
Production records documented in an historical exploration report (CR22223) indicated that Mount Mascotte produced 4,824 tonnes of
copper and 248.4 ounces of gold. There are no records of historical drilling at Mascotte with recent Hammer rock chips confirming the
presence of high-grade zone of mineralisation. An initial drilling test of the prospective zones at Mount Hope, Mascotte and Mascotte
Junction has been planned and is expected to be completed within the next month.
▲ The Brothers
The Brothers prospect was highlighted as a VTEM
anomaly in Hammer’s recent Pilgrim South VTEM survey.
The Brother’s prospect was first explored by MIM in the mid
1990’s, identifying a broad gold in soil geochemical anomaly.
A limited drilling program of 4 reverse circulation holes tested
zones of soil anomalism but did not test the prospective target
identified by this VTEM survey. The significant strike extent
of the soil geochemical anomaly and the coincident broad
VTEM response make this a high priority target for further field
investigations.
The survey data is undergoing final processing prior to being
modelled. A field review of the target zones continue with a
potential to drill test the prospective horizons in early 2023.

Yandal Gold Projects (WA)
Hammer holds a 100% interest in approximately 290km2
of tenements, located within the Yandal greenstone belt in
Western Australia.
The Company acquired these projects in 2019 and has
focussed on 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.
During the year the Company completed a detailed RC drilling
program (3,554m) targeting prospective geological trend
at Bronzewing South, commencing less than 300m from the
3million ounce Bronzewing gold mine.In addition to this program,
the company conducted an initial drill test at the Gummow target
and also completed a detailed soil survey project across a
broad area focussing on prospective geological trends within
the groups tenement holdings.
Bronzewing South Gold Project
▲ Bronzewing South
The RC drilling program completed during the quarter focussed on the
northernmost target position within the geological/structural corridor
trending south of the Bronzewing Gold mine. Drilling intercepted
the targeted rock units, the Bapinmarra Dolerite/Ultramafic,
Bronzewing Basalt and Discovery Granodiorite as expected,
including several shear zones and zones of quartz/carbonate veining
however no significant mineralisation was intercepted by the hole
(ASX Announcement 23 December 2021).
The completed RC holes will also provide excellent platforms
for future diamond drilling tails should the targeted horizon be
pursued at depth. The remaining targets (two of five) within this
southern corridor remain valid and will be considered as part of
future drilling programs within this target area.

ANNUAL REPORT 2022HAMMER METALS LIMTED Operations Summary
▲ Gummow Prospect
The Gummow Prospect is located 4.9km to the south of
the Bronzewing Deposit.
The prospect is located within a northwest trending shear zone traversing a tholeiitic basalt (similar to Bronzewing Basalt), between a
felsic intrusive (interpreted to be a Discovery Granodiorite equivalent) and a coarse grained mafic (interpreted as the Madfish Basalt)
(ASX Announcement 23 December 2021).
Drilling of this anomaly was limited to two holes (314m) with an initial intercept of:
■ 4m @ 0.18g/t Au from 40m in BWSRC048
The drilling in both holes intercepted a mafic sequence on the northern side of an interpreted felsic intrusive. Minor sulphidic veining
was intersected which is associated with anomalous gold values. Further investigation of this anomaly to be considered in a future
air core program.
▲ Harrier and Bower
The Harrier and Bower project areas are within 3km of
the former Bronzewing Gold mine.
Given the tenements proximity to the former mine, it remains lightly
explored. A review of the historical exploration activities on this
project have highlighted multiple significant soil anomalies over an
area with historical nugget discoveries (See ASX Announcement
23 December 2021). In 2011, Navigator Resources completed a
soil sampling program that consisted of 1,056 BLEG samples on a
200m by 50m grid pattern. Several anomalies including the Bower
and Harrier prospects were highlighted.
At Bower in the north, a program peak soil response of 225ppb
Au is coincident with a reported eastern nugget patch over a
600m strike length. An anomalous zone with a peak response
of 80ppb Au is present at the southern end of a western nugget
patch. At Harrier to the south of the tenement, a coherent anomaly
with a strike length of 1.3km and a width of 250m is evident with
a maximum soil result of 41ppb Au. The anomaly correlates well
with a reported gold nugget trend on the tenure and the anomaly
remains open to the north and the south of the area. Hammer will
look to test these anomalies with an air core program in FY23.

These tenements are situated to the North of the McClure group of deposits which include the Orelia and Lotus gold deposits. During
the financial year, the Company completed drilling 308 holes for 9768m to test previously undrilled targets on the Orelia trend. Based
on the drilling Hammer has completed to date at Target 1 the Company considers that there is good potential to define a shallow
gold resource at Target 1 with further infill drilling.
Four prospects were tested as part of the recently completed Aircore program, highlighting several anomalous zones that warrant
follow-up exploration.
▲ Target 2
Drilling targeted the southern margin of a fractionated granite. The best result from this target was 4m at 0.19g/t Au from 8m in
BWSAC0794 which was overlain by a plus 5ppb Au-in-soil anomaly (ASX Announcement 25 August 2021).
▲ Target 3
Drilling at Target 3 extended the strike length of known mineralisation. Intercepts included (ASX Announcement 25 August 2021):
■ 4m at 0.52g/t Au from 32m in BWSAC0638A;
■ 8m at 0.21g/t Au from 40m in BWSAC0641; and
■ 4m at 0.55g/t Au from 24m in BWSAC0653.
▲ Target 4
Target 4 is located immediately along strike to the north of
Northern Star’s Orelia Deposit. Mineralisation encountered to
date within this target is often associated with sulphidic shale
units which contain an anomalous Zinc zone of up to 70m
in width and up to 1.2km in length (with maximum downhole
individual analyses of 6520ppm Zn, 38.2% Sulphur and elevated
Cu and Pb). This zone is located at the boundary between mafic
and felsic/intermediate rocks.
Significant intercepts include:
(ASX Announcement 25 August 2021)
■ 18m at 0.12g/t Au from 24m in BWSAC0577;
■ 16m at 0.47g/t Au from 52m in BWSAC0585;
■ 3m at 0.47g/t Au from 52m in BWSAC0818; and

ANNUAL REPORT 2022HAMMER METALS LIMTED ▲ Annual Mineral Resource Statement
As of 30 June 2022
The Company’s Mineral Resource Statement has been compiled in accordance with the Australian Code for Reporting of Exploration
Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves (The JORC Code 2012 and 2004 Editions) and Chapter 5 of the ASX Listing Rules
and ASX Guidance Note 31. The Company has no Ore Reserve estimates.
The Company governs its activities in accordance with industry best-practice. The reported estimates for Overlander and Kalman
were generated by reputable, independent consulting firms. The resource reports and supporting data were subjected to internal
analysis and peer-review before release.
In 2016, Hammer Metals Limited commissioned Haren Consulting Pty Ltd to update the Kalman Resource based on new drilling and
geological interpretation. The resource was issued on the 27th of September 2016.
In November 2016, Haren Consulting was contracted by Hammer Metals Limited to complete a maiden mineral resource estimate for
the Millennium deposit. The estimate is based on good quality RC drilling data. The Mineral Resource was based on a series of 23
RC holes drilled by Hammer Metals following its acquisition of the tenements in May 2016 and 17 RC holes drilled by the previous
operator in 2013-2014. Drilling extends to a maximum down hole depth of 322m and the mineralisation was modelled from surface
to a depth of approximately 280m below surface. The drill hole spacing is approximately 50 to 100m along strike.
In November 2018, H&S Consultants Pty Ltd was commissioned to undertake a resource estimate on the Jubilee Cu-Au Deposit.
The resource was issued on 12 December 2018.
The estimate is based on good quality RC and Diamond drilling data. The estimate was based on a 42 reverse circulation holes for
5475m and 3 diamond holes for 261m. Of these holes 26 were drilled by Hammer Metals Ltd and the remaining 19 drilled by the
previous operator. Drilling extends to a maximum depth of 325m below surface. The drill hole spacing is approximately 50m along
strike.
There has been no material change to the Jubilee Resource estimate since its initial release to the ASX dated 20 December 2018.
Hammer sold its Millennium project to Global Energy Metals Corporation (“GEMC”) in June 2019. Therefore, the Millennium Cu-Co-Au
resource has been taken out of the Annual Mineral Resource statement.
CSA Global Pty Ltd conducted the Resource Estimate over the West Pilbara Iron Ore Deposit and this was reported to the ASX on 26
July 2010. In 2014, the Resource was updated to adhere to the JORC Code 2012 Edition, however the Resource Estimate remained
unchanged.
Cerro Resources Limited, the previous tenure holder over the Mt. Philp Hematite Deposit reported the Resource Estimate to the ASX
on the 12 March 2012. The Mt Philp Resource Estimate adhered to the JORC Code 2004 edition.
In relation to the Overlander, West Pilbara, Mt Philp and Jubilee Resources, there have been no material changes to the Resource
Estimates during the reporting period.

ANNUAL REPORT 2022HAMMER METALS LIMTED
Annual Mineral Resource Statement
In September 2016, Haren Consulting was contracted by Hammer Metals Limited to complete an update of the Mineral Resource
estimate for the deposit. The estimate was reported to comply with the 2012 Edition of the ‘Australasian Code for Reporting of
Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves’ by the Joint Ore Reserves Committee (JORC).
The Kalman Mineral Resource has been reported at two cut-off grades to reflect both open pit and underground mining scenarios.
The Kalman Mineral Resource estimate comprises a combined 20 million tonnes at 1.8% copper equivalent (CuEq) at 0.61% copper,
0.34 g/t gold, 0.14% molybdenum and 3.7 g/t rhenium in the Indicated and Inferred categories at revised cut-off grades (ASX
Announcement 27 September 2016).
The Kalman Mineral Resource Estimate disclosed as part of the 2015 review was last updated in March 2014 in accordance with
the JORC Code (2012 Edition). The Resource estimate comprised a combined 30 million tonnes at 1.3% copper equivalent (CuEq)
at 0.54% Cu, 0.28% Au, 0.08% Mo and 2.2 g/t Re in the Inferred category (ASX Announcement 19 March 2014 for full details of the
Resource Estimate).

The reasons for the update were:
■ 8 holes (K131-K132 and K134-139) drilled by Hammer in 2014 were incorporated into the resource model. The drill holes
intersected multiple, relatively shallow high-grade molybdenum and copper intersections which were considered to have
the potential to enhance the existing mineral resource model.
■ The deposit was re-interpreted to improve mineralisation constraints.
The 2016 resource update differed from the 2014 update in that the resulting total resource tonnage was reduced from 30,000kt to
20,000kt and average metal grades increased, primarily due to the use of more elevated cut-off grades.

The 100%-owned Overlander Project is situated 60 kilometres to the southeast of the mining centre of Mount Isa in Queensland and
6 kilometres to the west of Hammer’s Kalman copper-gold-molybdenum-rhenium deposit. It is a high-priority target area for both
shear-hosted copper and IOCG copper mineralisation. The Overlander North and South Copper Deposits are situated approximately
one kilometre apart within a common shear zone.
45
ANNUAL REPORT 2022HAMMER METALS LIMTED Annual Mineral Resource Statement
Drilling in the Overlander North deposit extends to a vertical depth of approximately 430m and the mineralisation was modelled from
surface to a depth of approximately 420 metres below surface. Drilling in the Overlander South deposit extends to a vertical depth of
approximately 215 metres and the mineralisation was modelled from surface to a depth of approximately 180m below surface. The
resource estimates are based on good quality RC and diamond drilling data. Drill hole spacing is predominantly on a 40 metre by
20 metre spacing with additional drill holes between sections targeted at the higher-grade cores of the deposits.
Following additional drilling in 2014 and 2015, the Mineral Resource Estimates for the Overlander North and South shear-hosted
copper Deposits were revised by Haren Consulting Pty Ltd and reported in accordance with the guidelines of the JORC Code (2012
Edition). They contain combined resources of 1,772,000 tonnes at 1.2% copper in the indicated and inferred categories (Refer to the
ASX release dated 26 August 2015). There has been no material change to the Overlander resource base during the financial year.

The Mount Philp Iron Ore deposit is located in north-western Queensland, 1,500 kilometres northwest of Brisbane. The Mineral
Resource Estimate is based on 48 diamond and reverse circulation (RC) drillholes completed in 2011 for a total of 3,801 metres.
Drilling comprises fans located on a nominal 100 metre pattern along the strike length of the ironstone. The Mineral Resource was
estimated and reported in-house by Cerro Resource NL.
The current resource totals 19.1 million tonnes grading 41.4% iron and 37.9% silica in the Indicated category and 11.4 million tonnes
grading 33.8% iron and 47.4% silica in the Inferred category. This resource is open at depth.
A resource estimate was first completed and reported to ASX by previous owners on 28th September 2012 and there has been no
material change to the resource base during the financial year. A review of the resource estimate was completed for the purpose of
compiling this statement and the principles and methodology of the resource estimation procedure and the resource classification
procedure have been reconciled with the CIM Resource Reserve definitions and found to comply.
▲ Governance And Internal Controls – Resource Calculations
The Company ensures good governance in relation to resource estimation through the use of third-party resource consultants and
internal review in accordance with industry best practice. All reported resource estimates were generated by reputable, independent
consulting firms. The resource reports and supporting data were subjected to internal analysis and peer review before release. The
Company is not aware of any additional information, other than that reported, which would have a material effect on the estimates
as reported.
Due to the nature, stage and size of the Company’s existing operations, the Board believes there would be no efficiencies gained by
establishing a separate mineral reserves and resources committee responsible for reviewing and monitoring the Company’s processes
for calculating mineral reserves and resources estimates and for ensuring that the appropriate controls are applied to such calculations.
The Company will report any future mineral reserves and resources estimates in accordance with the 2012 JORC Code.

Hammer is currently exploring in two great minerals provinces,
focused on the discovery of copper and gold deposits. In the
Mount Isa region, the Company has embarked on an aggressive
exploration program looking to build upon its existing JORC
compliant copper/gold resources. Hammer continues to advance
its gold exploration activities in the Yandal Belt in WA, focusing
on targets near the former Bronzewing gold mine.
QUEENSLAND - MOUNT ISA REGION PROJECTS
In the Mount Isa base metals district, Hammer has four projects
with established copper gold JORC resources. The company
is committed to growing its metal inventory near these existing
resources, in addition to exploring the district for large iron
oxide copper-gold (IOCG) deposits of the Ernest Henry style
(approximately 220 million tonnes at 1.1% Cu and 0.5g/t Au). The
Group holds approximately 2,600 km2 of tenure in the Mt. Isa
region. A systematic IOCG targeting exercise within the Mount
Isa region is ongoing through the Mt Isa East JV and 100%
funded activities.
Mt. Isa project – wholly-owned projects
Hammer’s activities in the Mount Isa region are predominantly
focused on the Trafalgar to Jubilee copper/gold mineralisation
trend. The company completed 7,792m of Reverse Circulation
(“RC”) drilling (52 holes) and 800m of Diamond Drilling (two
holes) at ten distinct targets (Ajax, Ajax East, Overlander South,
Kalman, Lakeview, Sirius, Morning Star and Lady Kate). The
highlights from these drilling programs were the identification of
the Ajax East sulphide trend and multiple shallow intersections in
the northern part of the Kalman project opening up the potential
for resource upgrades at the project.
Several significant geophysical, geochemical and mapping
programs were completed during the year with numerous new
targets being generated. A drilling program is ongoing at the time
of this report focusing on the Ajax East Sulphide trend before a
return to extensional testing at the Kalman project which will look
to increase the copper/gold/molybdenum and rhenium resource
of the project.
54
ANNUAL REPORT 2022HAMMER METALS LIMITED Work continued on Hammer’s North Orelia prospect with the
reporting of results from a 9,700m, 309-hole air core drilling
program. An extensive 5000 sample soil geochemical program
was completed with results awaited at the time of this report.
Separate air core and reverse circulation drilling programs have
been designed for this project area and will be considered for
testing in the upcoming financial year.
IMPACT OF COVID-19 PANDEMIC
During the first of half of the financial year, Hammer was impacted
by COVID-19 related border closures, however the Board has
instituted several measures to ensure that delays and disruptions
from these closures were kept to a minimum. Minor disruptions
with COVID illnesses on site in early 2022 were experienced,
however ongoing disruptions are not expected.
Mt Isa East Joint Venture (“MIEJV”)
Following a formal sale process, JOGMEC sold their interest
in the MIEJV to Sumitomo Metal Mining Oceania. Work on the
MIEJV continued throughout the year, including 2,121m of RC
drilling and 631m of Diamond Drilling at six distinct targets.
WESTERN AUSTRALIA - BRONZEWING
SOUTH PROJECT
Hammer’s tenements cover prospective structural trends in the
core of the Yandal Greenstone Belt. This region has reported
greater than 24Moz of current and historical gold production
from deposits such as Bronzewing, Jundee, Mt McClure, Darlot
and Thunderbox.
During the year the company completed the first deep RC
drilling program on the tenement immediately south of the
3million ounce Bronzewing gold mine. A total of 13 holes for
3,554m of RC drilling was completed (ASX Announcement 23
December 2021).
▲ 7. Dividends
No dividends were paid or declared by the Company during the financial year.
▲ 8. Events Subsequent To Balance Date
Subsequent to year end the following events have occurred:
■ On 4 August 2022, a total of 7,650,000 options
exercisable at 3.2 cents each ($0.032) were
exercised. These options were exercised utilising
a cashless exercise facility, and therefore a total of
4,664,633 new ordinary shares were issued.
Other than the above, there has not been any other matter
or circumstance that has arisen after balance date that has
significantly affected, or may significantly affect, the operations
of the Group, the results of those operations, or the state of affairs
of the Group in future financial periods.
▲ 9. Likely Developments
The COVID-19 pandemic is ongoing and while it has yet to have
a significant financial impact on the Group, it is not practicable
to estimate the potential impact, positive or negative, after the
reporting date. The situation is constantly developing and is
dependent on measures imposed by the Australian Government,
such as maintaining social distancing requirements, quarantine,
travel restrictions and any economic stimulus that may be
provided.
The Company will continue planning and executing exploration and
development work on its existing projects in Australia as well as projects
under review in Australia to complement and expand on existing tenement
holdings.

ANNUAL REPORT 2022HAMMER METALS LIMITED
Notes To The Consolidated Financial Statements
HAMMER METALS LIMITED
and its Controlled Entities
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. REPORTING ENTITY
Hammer Metals Limited (the “Company”) is a company domiciled in Australia. The Company’s registered office is Unit
1, 28-30 Mayfair Street, West Perth, Western Australia. The consolidated financial statements of the Company for
the financial year ended 30 June 2022 comprises the Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the
“Group”).
The Group is a for profit entity and is primarily involved in the exploration and extraction of mineral resources.
2. BASIS OF PREPARATION
(a) Statement of compliance
The consolidated financial statements are general purpose financial statements which have been prepared in
accordance with Australian Accounting Standards (AASBs) adopted by the Australian Accounting Standards Board
(AASB) and the Corporations Act 2001. The consolidated financial statements also comply with International Financial
Reporting Standards (IFRS’s) adopted by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).
The consolidated financial report was authorised for issue by the Directors on 28 September 2022.
(b) Basis of measurement
The financial report is prepared on the historical cost basis except for share based payments and other financial assets
which are measured at their fair value.
(c) Functional and presentation currency
The financial report is presented in Australian dollars which is the functional and presentation currency of the
Company and its subsidiaries.
(d) Use of estimates and judgements
Set out below is information about:
•
•
critical judgements in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts
recognised in the financial statements; and
assumptions and estimation uncertainties that have a significant risk of resulting in a material adjustment
within the next financial year.
Critical judgements
i. Going concern
A key assumption underlying the preparation of the financial statements is that the Group will continue as a
going concern. An entity is a going concern when it is considered to be able to pay its debts as and when they
are due, and to continue in operation without any intention or necessity to liquidate or otherwise wind up its
operations. A significant amount of judgement has been required in assessing whether the Group is a going
concern, as set out in note 2(f).

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
2. BASIS OF PREPARATION (continued)
(d) Use of estimates and judgements (continued)
Estimates and assumptions
ii. Ore Reserves and Mineral Resources
Economically recoverable reserves represent the estimated quantity of product in an area of interest that can
be expected to be profitably extracted, processed and sold under current and foreseeable economic
conditions. The Group determines and reports ore reserves and mineral resources under the standards
incorporated in the Australasian Code for Reporting Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves,
2012 edition (the JORC Code). The determination of ore reserves or mineral resources includes estimates and
assumptions about a range of geological, technical and economic factors, including: quantities, grades,
production techniques, recovery rates, production costs, transport costs, commodity demand, commodity
prices and exchange rates. Changes in ore reserves and mineral resources impact the assessment of
recoverability of exploration and evaluation assets, provisions for site restoration and the recognition of
deferred tax assets, including tax losses.
iii. Exploration and evaluation assets
Determining the recoverability of exploration and evaluation expenditure capitalised in accordance with the
Group’s accounting policy (refer note 3(n)), requires estimates and assumptions as to future events and
circumstances, in particular, whether successful development and commercial exploitation, or alternatively
sale, of the respective areas of interest will be achieved. Critical to this assessment is estimates and
assumptions as to ore reserves (refer note 2(d)(ii)), the timing of expected cash flows, exchange rates,
commodity prices and future capital requirements. Changes in these estimates and assumptions as new
information about the presence or recoverability of an ore reserve becomes available, may impact the
assessment of the recoverable amount of exploration and evaluation assets. If, after having capitalised the
expenditure under accounting policy 3(n), a judgement is made that recovery of the expenditure is unlikely,
an impairment loss is recorded in the statement of profit and loss and other comprehensive income in
accordance with accounting policy 3(f). The carrying amounts of exploration and evaluation assets are set
out in note 14.
iv. Share based payments
The Group measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees by reference to the fair value of
the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined by using either the
Binomial or Black-Scholes model considering the terms and conditions upon which the instruments were
granted. The accounting estimates and assumptions relating to equity-settled share-based payments would
have no impact on the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next annual reporting period but
may impact profit or loss and equity. Refer to note 20 for further information.
v. Lease term
The lease term is a significant component in the measurement of both the right-of-use asset and lease
liability. Judgement is exercised in determining whether there is reasonable certainty that an option to extend
the lease or purchase the underlying asset will be exercised, or an option to terminate the lease will not be
exercised, when ascertaining the periods to be included in the lease term. In determining the lease term, all
facts and circumstances that create an economical incentive to exercise an extension option, or not to
exercise a termination option, are considered at the lease commencement date. Factors considered may
include the importance of the asset to the Group's operations; comparison of terms and conditions to
prevailing market rates; incurrence of significant penalties; existence of significant leasehold improvements;
and the costs and disruption to replace the asset. The Group reassesses whether it is reasonably certain to
exercise an extension option, or not exercise a termination option, if there is a significant event or significant
change in circumstances.

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION (continued)
(e) Adoption of new and revised standards
The Group has adopted all of the new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian
Accounting Standards Board ('AASB') that are mandatory for the current reporting period.
Any new or amended Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been early
adopted.
(f) Going concern
The financial report has been prepared on the going concern basis, which contemplates the continuity of normal
business activity and the realisation of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business.
For the year ended 30 June 2022, the Group has incurred a consolidated loss before tax of $645,270 and net cash
outflows from operating and investing activities of $4,581,809. As at 30 June 2022, the Group had $5,193,673 in cash
and cash equivalents and net current assets of $4,939,871.
On the above basis, the Directors are of the view that the going concern basis of preparation is appropriate.
3. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Group has consistently applied the accounting policies set out in note 3 to all periods presented in these
consolidated financial statements.
(a) Basis of consolidation
i.
ii.
Subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Group. The Group controls an entity when it is exposed to, or has
rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns
through its power over the entity. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated
financial statements from the date on which control commences until the date on which control ceases.
Investments in associates
Associates are those entities in which the Group has significant influence, but not control or joint control,
over the financial and operating policies. Significant influence is presumed to exist when the Group holds
between 20 percent and 50 percent of the voting power of another entity.
Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method and are recognised initially at cost. The
cost of the investments includes transaction costs.
The consolidated financial statements include the Group’s share of the profit or loss and other comprehensive
income of equity accounted investees, after adjustments to align the accounting policies with those of the
Group, from the date that significant influence commences until the date that significant influence ceases.
When the Group’s share of losses exceeds its interest in an equity accounted investee, the carrying amount
of the investment, including any long-term interest that form part thereof, is reduced to zero, and the
recognition of further losses is discontinued except to the extent that the Group has an obligation or has
made payments on behalf of the investee.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
3. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
(a) Basis of consolidation (continued)
iii.
Joint arrangements
The Group classifies its interests in joint arrangements as either joint operations or joint ventures depending
on the Group’s rights to the assets and obligation for the liabilities of the arrangements. When making this
assessment, the Group considers the structure of the arrangements, the legal form of any separate vehicles,
the contractual terms of the arrangements and other facts and circumstances.
iv. Transactions eliminated on consolidation
Intragroup balances, and any unrealised gains and losses or income and expenses arising from intragroup
transactions, are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements.
v. Business combinations
Business combinations are accounted for by applying the acquisition method.
For every business combination, the Group identifies the acquirer, which is the combining entity that obtains
control of the other combining entities or businesses. The Group controls an entity when it is exposed to, or
has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns
through its power over the entity. The acquisition date is the date on which control is transferred to the
acquirer. Judgement is applied in determining the acquisition date and determining whether control is
transferred from one party to another.
vi. Contingent liabilities
A contingent liability of the acquiree is assumed in a business combination only if such a liability represents a
present obligation and arises from a past event, and its fair value can be measured reliably.
vii. Non-controlling interest
The Group measures any non-controlling interest at its proportionate interest in the identifiable net assets
of the acquiree.
(b) Foreign currency
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated at the foreign exchange rate ruling at the date of the transaction.
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the balance sheet date are translated to
Australian dollars at the foreign exchange rate ruling at that date. Foreign exchange differences arising on translation
are recognised in the statement of profit and loss and other comprehensive income. Non-monetary assets and
liabilities that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rate at
the date of the transaction. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are stated at
fair value are translated to Australian dollars at foreign exchange rates ruling at the dates the fair value was
determined.
The assets and liabilities of foreign operations, including fair value adjustments arising on consolidation, are translated
to Australian dollars at foreign exchange rates ruling at the balance sheet date. The revenues and expenses of foreign
operations are translated to Australian dollars at rates approximating the foreign exchange rates ruling at the dates
of the transactions. Foreign exchange differences arising on retranslation are recognised directly in a separate
component of equity.

3. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
(c) Plant and equipment
Items of plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation (see below) and impairment losses
(see accounting policy 3(f)). Depreciation is charged to the statement of profit and loss and other comprehensive
income on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. The estimated useful lives in the current and
comparative periods are as follows:
• Office equipment
• Plant and equipment
3 to 4 years
3 to 5 years
The residual value, if significant, is reassessed annually.
(d) Financial instruments
Recognition and derecognition
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions
of the financial instrument. Financial assets are derecognised when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the
financial asset expire, or when the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards are transferred. A financial
liability is derecognised when it is extinguished, discharged, cancelled or expires.
Classification and initial measurement of financial assets
Except for those trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component and are measured at the
transaction price in accordance with AASB 15, all financial assets are initially measured at fair value adjusted for
transaction costs (where applicable).
(d) Financial instruments (continued)
For the purpose of subsequent measurement, financial assets, are classified into the following categories:
• amortised cost
•
fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL)
The classification is determined by both:
•
•
the entity’s business model for managing the financial asset
the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset.
All income and expenses relating to financial assets that are recognised in profit or loss are presented within finance
costs, finance income or other financial items, except for impairment of trade receivables which is presented within
other expenses.
Subsequent measurement of financial assets
Financial assets at amortised cost
Financial assets are measured at amortised cost if the assets meet the following conditions (and are not designated
as FVTPL):
•
they are held within a business model whose objective is to hold the financial assets to collect its
contractual cash flows
the contractual terms of the financial assets give rise to cash flows that are solely payments of principal
and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
•
After initial recognition, these are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

3. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
(d)
Financial instruments (continued)
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL)
Financial assets that are held within a different business model other than ‘hold to collect’ or ‘hold to collect and sell’
are categorised at fair value through profit and loss. Further, irrespective of business model financial assets whose
contractual cash flows are not solely payments of principal and interest are accounted for at FVTPL.
The category also contains an equity investment. The Group accounts for the investment at FVTPL and did not make
the irrevocable election to account for the investment in unlisted and listed equity securities at fair value through
other comprehensive income (FVOCI). The fair value was determined in line with the requirements of AASB 9, which
does not allow for measurement at cost. Assets in this category are measured at fair value with gains or losses
recognised in profit or loss. The fair values of financial assets in this category are determined by reference to active
market transactions or using a valuation technique where no active market exists.
Trade and other receivables and contract assets
The Group makes use of a simplified approach in accounting for trade and other receivables as well as contract assets
and records the loss allowance as lifetime expected credit losses. These are the expected shortfalls in contractual cash
flows, considering the potential for default at any point during the life of the financial instrument. In calculating, the
Group uses its historical experience, external indicators and forward-looking information to calculate the expected
credit losses using a provision matrix.
The Group assess impairment of trade receivables on a collective basis as they possess shared credit risk characteristics
they have been grouped based on the days past due.
Classification and measurement of financial liabilities
The Group’s financial liabilities include borrowings, trade and other payables and derivative financial instruments.
Financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value, and, where applicable, adjusted for transaction costs unless the
Group designated a financial liability at fair value through profit or loss.
Subsequently, financial liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method except for
derivatives and financial liabilities designated at FVTPL, which are carried subsequently at fair value with gains or
losses recognised in profit or loss (other than derivative financial instruments that are designated and effective as
hedging instruments).
All interest-related charges and, if applicable, changes in an instrument’s fair value that are reported in profit or loss
are included within finance costs or finance income.
(e) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances and call deposits with an original maturity of three months or less.
Bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and form an integral part of the Group’s cash management are included
as a component of cash and cash equivalents for the purpose of the statement of cash flows.
(f)
Impairment
The Group assesses at each balance date whether a financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired.
Financial assets at amortised cost
Trade receivables are initially recognised at their transaction price and other receivables at fair value. Receivables that
are held to collect contractual cash flows and are expected to give rise to cash flows representing solely payments of
principal and interest are classified and subsequently measured at amortised cost. Receivables that do not meet the
criteria for amortised cost are measured at fair value through profit or loss.

(f)
Impairment (continued)
The group assesses on a forward-looking basis, the expected credit losses associated with its debt instruments carried
at amortised cost. The amount of expected credit losses is updated at each reporting date to reflect changes in credit
risk since initial recognition of the respective financial instrument. The Group always recognises the lifetime expected
credit loss for trade receivables carried at amortised cost.
The expected credit losses on these financial assets are estimated based on the Group's historic credit loss experience,
adjusted for factors that are specific to the debtors, general economic conditions and an assessment of both the
current as well as forecast conditions at the reporting date.
For all other receivables measured at amortised cost, the Group recognises lifetime expected credit losses when there
has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition. If the credit risk on the financial instrument has
not increased significantly since initial recognition, the Group measures the loss allowance for that financial
instrument at an amount equal to expected credit losses within the next 12 months.
The Group considers an event of default has occurred when a financial asset is more than 90 days past due or external
sources indicate that the debtor is unlikely to pay its creditors, including the Group. A financial asset is credit impaired
when there is evidence that the counterparty is in significant financial difficulty or a breach of contract, such as a
default or past due event has occurred. The Group writes off a financial asset when there is information indicating the
counterparty is in severe financial difficulty and there is no realistic prospect of recovery.
Non-financial assets
The carrying amounts of the Company’s non-financial assets, other than deferred tax assets (see accounting policy
3(k)) are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such
indication exists, then the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. For goodwill and intangible assets that have
indefinite lives or that are not yet available for use, the recoverable amount is estimated each year at the same time.
The recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs
to sell. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax
discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset.
For the purpose of impairment testing, assets are grouped together into the smallest group of assets that generates
cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or groups of assets
(the “cash-generating unit”). The goodwill acquired in a business combination, for the purpose of impairment testing,
is allocated to cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination.
An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of an asset or its cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable
amount. Impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss. Impairment losses recognised in respect of cash-
generating units are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the units and then to
reduce the carrying amount of the other assets in the unit (group of units) on a pro rata basis.
An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversed. In respect of other assets, impairment losses recognised in
prior periods are assessed at each reporting date for any indications that the loss has decreased or no longer exists.
An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount.
An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying
amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment loss had been
recognised.

(g) Share capital
Ordinary shares
Transaction costs of an equity transaction are accounted for as a deduction from equity, net of any related income tax
benefit.
(h) Interest bearing borrowings
Interest-bearing borrowings are recognised initially at fair value less attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to
initial recognition, interest-bearing borrowings are stated at amortised cost with any difference between cost and
redemption value being recognised in the statement of profit and loss and other comprehensive income over the
period of the borrowings on an effective interest basis.
(i) Employee benefits
Defined contribution plans
Obligations for contributions to defined contribution pension plans are recognised as an expense in the statement of
profit and loss and other comprehensive income as incurred.
Share based payment transactions
The grant-date fair value of equity-settled share-based payment arrangements granted to employees is generally
recognised as an expense, with a corresponding increase in equity, over the vesting period of the awards. The amount
recognised as an expense is adjusted to reflect the number of awards for which the related service and non-market
performance conditions are expected to be met, such that the amount ultimately recognised is based on the number
of awards that meet the related service and non-market performance conditions at the vesting date. For share-based
payment awards with non-vesting conditions, the grant-date fair value of the share-based payment is measured to
reflect such conditions and there is no true-up for differences between expected and actual outcome.
Wages, salaries, annual leave, sick leave and non-monetary benefits
Liabilities for employee benefits for wages, salaries, annual leave and sick leave represent present obligations resulting
from employees' services provided to reporting date, calculated at undiscounted amounts based on remuneration
wage and salary rates that the Group expects to pay as at reporting date including related on-costs, such as, workers
compensation insurance and payroll tax.
(j) Finance income and expenses
Net finance income
Net finance income comprises interest payable on borrowings calculated using the effective interest method, interest
receivable on funds invested and realised foreign exchange gains and losses. Interest income is recognised in the
statement of profit and loss and other comprehensive income as it accrues, using the effective interest method.
(k) Income tax
Income tax on the statement of profit and loss and other comprehensive income for the periods presented comprises
current and deferred tax. Income tax is recognised in the statement of profit and loss and other comprehensive income
except to the extent that it relates to items recognised directly in equity, in which case it is recognised in equity.
Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantially
enacted at the balance sheet date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years.

(k)
Income tax (continued)
Deferred tax is provided using the balance sheet liability method, providing for temporary differences between the
carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes.
The following temporary differences are not provided for: the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction
that is not a business combination and that affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss and differences relating
to investments in subsidiaries to the extent that they will probably not reverse in the foreseeable future. The amount
of deferred tax provided is based on the expected manner of realisation or settlement of the carrying amount of assets
and liabilities, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date.
A deferred tax asset is recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available
against which the asset can be utilised. Deferred tax assets are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable
that the related tax benefit will be realised.
The Company and its Australian resident wholly owned subsidiaries adopted the tax consolidation legislation with
effect from 1 July 2014 and are therefore taxed as a single entity from that date. Hammer Metals Ltd is the head entity
within the tax-consolidated group. Any current tax liabilities (or assets) and deferred tax assets arising from unused
tax losses of the subsidiaries are assumed by the head entity in the tax-consolidated group.
(l) Provisions
A provision is recognised in the balance sheet when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result
of a past event, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. If the
effect is material, provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that
reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and, when appropriate, the risks specific to the
liability.
A provision for site restoration in respect of contaminated and disturbed land, and the related expense, is recognised
when the land is contaminated or disturbed. Such activities include dismantling infrastructure, removal and treatment
of waste material, and land rehabilitation, including restoring, topsoiling and revegetation of the disturbed area.
(m) Segment reporting
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating
decision maker. The chief operating decision maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing
performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the Board of Directors of the Company.
(n) Exploration and evaluation expenditure
Exploration for and evaluation of mineral resources is the search for mineral resources after the Group has obtained
legal rights to explore in a specific area, as well as the determination of the technical feasibility and commercial
viability of extracting the mineral resources. Accordingly, exploration and evaluation expenditures are those
expenditures incurred by the Group in connection with the exploration for and evaluation of minerals resources before
the technical feasibility and commercial viability of extracting mineral resources are demonstrable.
Accounting for exploration and evaluation expenditure is assessed separately for each area of interest. An area of
interest is an individual geological area which is considered to constitute a favourable environment for the presence
of a mineral deposit or has been proved to contain such a deposit.
Expenditure incurred on activities that precede exploration and evaluation of mineral resources, including all
expenditure incurred prior to securing legal rights to explore an area, is expensed as incurred.

3. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
(n) Exploration and evaluation expenditure (continued)
For each area of interest, the expenditure is recognised as an exploration and evaluation asset where the following
conditions are satisfied:
a) The rights to tenure of the area of interest are current; and
b) At least one of the following conditions is also met:
i.
ii.
The expenditure is expected to be recouped through successful development and commercial
exploitation of an area of interest, or alternatively by its sale; and
Exploration and evaluation activities in the area of interest have not, at reporting date, reached
a stage which permits a reasonable assessment of the existence or otherwise ‘economically
recoverable reserves’ and active and significant operations in, or in relation to, the area of
interest are continuing. Economically recoverable reserves are the estimated quantity of product
in an area of interest that can be expected to be profitably extracted, processed and sold under
current and foreseeable conditions.
Exploration and evaluation assets include
• Acquisition of rights to explore;
• Topographical, geological, geochemical and geophysical studies;
• Exploratory drilling, trenching, and sampling and
• Activities in relation to evaluating the technical feasibility and commercial viability of extracting the
mineral resource.
General and administrative costs are allocated to, and included in, the cost of exploration and evaluation assets only
to the extent that those costs can be related directly to the operational activities in the area of interest to which the
exploration and evaluation assets relate. In all other instances, these costs are expensed as incurred.
Exploration and evaluation assets are transferred to Development Assets once technical feasibility and commercial
viability of an area of interest is demonstrable. Exploration and evaluation assets are assessed for impairment, and
any impairment loss is recognised prior to being reclassified.
The carrying amount of the exploration and evaluation assets is dependent on successful development and
commercial exploitation, or alternatively, sale of the respective area of interest.
Impairment testing of exploration and evaluation assets
Exploration and evaluation assets are assessed for impairment if sufficient data exists to determine technical feasibility
and commercial viability or facts and circumstances suggest that the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable
amount.
Exploration and evaluation assets are tested for impairment when any of the following facts and circumstances exist:
• The term of exploration licence in the specific area of interest has expired during the reporting period
or will expire in the near future, and is not expected to be renewed;
• Substantive expenditure on further exploitation for and evaluation of mineral resources in the specific
area are not budgeted or planned;
• Exploration for and evaluation of mineral resources in the specific area have not led to the discovery
of commercially viable quantities of mineral resources and the decision was made to discontinue such
activities in the specified are; or
• Sufficient data exists to indicate that, although a development in the specific area is likely to proceed,
the carrying amount of the exploration and evaluation asset is unlikely to be recovered in full from
successful development of by sale.
Where a potential impairment is indicated, an assessment is performed for each cash generating unit which is no
larger than the area of interest. The Group performs impairment testing in accordance with accounting policy 3(f).

Exploration and evaluation expenditure (continued)
Farm-in arrangements (in the exploration and evaluation phase)
For exploration and evaluation asset acquisitions (farm-in arrangements) in which the Group has made arrangements
to fund a portion of the selling partner's (farmor's) exploration and/or future development expenditures (carried
interests), these expenditures are reflected in the financial statements as and when the exploration work progresses.
Farm-out arrangements (in the exploration and evaluation phase)
The Group does not record any expenditure made by the farmee on its account. It also does not recognise any gain or
loss on its exploration and evaluation farm-out arrangements but redesignates any costs previously capitalised in
relation to the whole interest as relating to the partial interest retained.
Monies received pursuant to farm-in agreements are treated as a liability (advanced cash call) on receipt and until
such time as the relevant expenditure is incurred.
(o) Government grants
Government grants are recognised when there is reasonable assurance that (a) the Group will comply with the
conditions attaching to them; and (b) the grants will be received; they are then recognised in profit or loss as other
income or as a deduction against the carrying value of an underlying asset.
The Group recognises the refundable research and development tax incentive (received under the tax legislation
passed in 2011) as a government grant. This incentive is refundable to the Group regardless of whether the Group is
in a tax payable position and is presented by deducting the grant from the carrying amount of the related exploration
asset.
(p) Right-of-use assets
A right-of-use asset is recognised at the commencement date of a lease. The right-of-use asset is measured at cost,
which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability, adjusted for, as applicable, any lease payments made at or
before the commencement date net of any lease incentives received, any initial direct costs incurred, and, except
where included in the cost of inventories, an estimate of costs expected to be incurred for dismantling and removing
the underlying asset, and restoring the site or asset.
Right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated
useful life of the asset, whichever is the shorter. Where the Group expects to obtain ownership of the leased asset at
the end of the lease term, the depreciation is over its estimated useful life. Right-of use assets are subject to
impairment or adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities.
The Group has elected not to recognise a right-of-use asset and corresponding lease liability for short-term leases with
terms of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets. Lease payments on these assets are expensed to profit or
loss as incurred.
(q) Lease liabilities
A lease liability is recognised at the commencement date of a lease. The lease liability is initially recognised at the
present value of the lease payments to be made over the term of the lease, discounted using the interest rate implicit
in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Group’s incremental borrowing rate. Lease payments
comprise of fixed payments less any lease incentives receivable, variable lease payments that depend on an index or
a rate, amounts expected to be paid under residual value guarantees, exercise price of a purchase option when the
exercise of the option is reasonably certain to occur, and any anticipated termination penalties. The variable lease
payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.

COMMITMENTS
Exploration Expenditure Commitments
In order to maintain current rights of tenure to exploration tenements the Company is required to perform
minimum exploration work to meet the minimum expenditure requirements specified by various State
Governments within Australia. These obligations may be reset when application for a mining lease is made
and at other times. As a result, exploration expenditure commitments beyond twelve months cannot be
reliably determined.
The Group has a minimum expenditure commitment on tenure under its control.
The Group can apply for exemption from compliance with the minimum exploration expenditure
requirements.
These obligations are not provided for in the financial report and are payable:

Joint arrangements
The Group has the following farm-in / farm-out arrangements:
Mt Frosty – Mt Isa Mines (Glencore)
During a previous financial year the Group (through its wholly owned subsidiary Mulga Minerals Pty Ltd
(‘Mulga’)) completed the acquisition of a 51% interest in the Mt. Frosty prospect and agreed terms for a new
joint venture agreement with Mount Isa Mines Limited (‘MIM’) (a 100% owned subsidiary of Glenore PLC).
Each party to the joint arrangement contributes exploration expenditure according to their participating
interest (Hammer – 51% and MIM – 49%). Dilution provisions apply if a party elects not to contribute to a
programme. If a party’s participating interest falls below 10% their interest will convert to a 3% Net Profits
Royalty. Mulga acts as the initial manager of the joint arrangement. The Group’s interest in the above
arrangement includes capitalised exploration phase expenditure totalling $597,665 at 30 June 2022 and is
included in exploration and evaluation assets (note 14).
Mt Isa East JV – JOGMEC/SMMO
The Agreement with Japan Oil, Gas and Metals National Corporation (“JOGMEC“) was signed in November
2019 and covers sections of the Even Steven, Mount Philp, Dronfield West and Malbon targets for a total
area of approximately 290km2 of the 2,200km2 Mount Isa Project. The arrangement is referred to as the
Mount Isa East Joint Venture, however in accordance with the Australian Accounting Standards is a joint
arrangement by nature. During the Farm-in period, JOGMEC can achieve a 60% interest in the project areas
by expending $6,000,000 by 31 March 2024. The Farm-in Period is staged as follows, noting that JOGMEC
earns its interest after the completion of the Fifth and final Farm-in Period:
•
The First Farm-in Period is a minimum expenditure of $1,000,000 by 31 March 2020 before JOGMEC
can withdraw from the agreement;
The Second Farm-in Period is an aggregate expenditure of $2,000,000 by 31 March 2021;
The Third Farm-in Period is an aggregate expenditure of $3,000,000 by 31 March 2022;
The Fourth Farm-in Period is an aggregate expenditure of $4,500,000 by 31 March 2023; and
The Fifth and final Farm-in Period is an aggregate expenditure of $6,000,000 by 31 March 2024.
•
•
•
•
Upon completion of the Fifth Farm-in Period, each company can elect to contribute its pro-rata share of
future funding. If either party does not contribute and is diluted to an ownership of less than 10% of the Mt
Isa East JV, the Group’s equitable interest will convert to a 2% Net Smelter Return Royalty. At any time, the
Net Smelter Royalty Return Rate can be reduced to 1% via the payment of A$2,000,000. The areas of interest
are all 100% held by the Company’s subsidiaries Mt Dockerell Mining Pty Ltd and Mulga Minerals Pty Ltd.
During the previous financial year, JOGMEC and Sumitomo Metal Mining Oceania Pty. Ltd. (“SMMO”) signed
an agreement whereby JOGMEC would transfer its position within the Mt Isa East JV to SMMO. The terms
of the agreement remain unchanged.
During the year, the Third Farm-in Period was completed and the Mt Isa East JV has continued to operate in
line with the terms of the agreement noted above.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS DISCLOSURES
Overview
The Group has exposure to the following risks from their use of financial instruments:
Credit risk
Liquidity risk
Market risk
This note presents information about the Group’s exposure to each of the above risks, their objectives,
policies and processes for measuring and managing risk, and the management of capital.
The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the risk management
framework. Management monitors and manages the financial risks relating to the operations of the Group
through regular reviews of the risks.
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument
fails to meet its contractual obligations and arises principally from the Group’s receivables from customers
and investment securities.
Trade and other receivables
As the Company operates in the mining exploration sector it does not have significant trade receivables and
is therefore not exposed to credit risk in relation to trade receivables. The Group receives advanced cash
calls from its farm-in / joint arrangement partner which are classified as liabilities. The cash call amounts are
reduced as and when expenditure in terms of the farm-in/ joint arrangement agreement is incurred.

Impairment losses
None of the Group’s trade and other receivables are past due and impaired (2021: Nil).
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due (refer
Note 2(f)). The Group’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have
sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without
incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Group’s reputation.
The Group manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate reserves by continuously monitoring forecast and
actual cash flows. Typically, the Group ensures it has sufficient cash on demand to meet expected operational
expenses for a period of 90 days, this excludes the potential impact of extreme circumstances that cannot
reasonably be predicted, such as natural disasters.
The expected settlement of the Group’s financial liabilities is as follows:

Market risk
Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates and equity
prices will affect the Group’s income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective of
market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while
optimising the return.
Currency risk
The Group has no exposure to currency risk on investments and transactions that are denominated in a
currency other than the respective functional currencies of Group entities. The Group has not entered into any
derivative financial instruments to hedge such transactions and anticipated future receipts or payments that
are denominated in a foreign currency.

Interest rate risk
The Group is not exposed to interest rate risk on borrowings as it has no borrowings subject to variable interest. The
Group is exposed to interest rate risk on its cash balances.

At the reporting date the interest rate profile of the Company’s and the Group’s interest-bearing financial instruments
was:

Fair value sensitivity analysis for fixed rate instruments
The Group does not account for any fixed rate financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss.
Therefore, a change in interest rates at the reporting date would not affect profit or loss or equity (2021: Nil)
Cash flow sensitivity analysis for variable rate instruments
A sensitivity of 50 basis points has been used and considered reasonable given current interest rates. A 0.5%
movement in interest rates at the reporting date would have increased equity and profit or loss by the amounts shown
below. This analysis assumes that all other variables remain constant. The analysis for 2021 was performed on the
same basis.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS DISCLOSURES (CONTINUED)
There are no off-balance sheet financial asset and liabilities at year-end.
All financial assets and liabilities were denominated in Australian dollars during the years ended 30 June 2022 and
2021.
Fair value risk
The group uses three different methods in estimating the fair value of a financial investment. The methods comprise:
•
•
•
Level 1 – the fair value is calculated using quoted prices in active markets; and
Level 2 – the fair value is estimated using inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable
for the asset or liability, either directly (as prices) or indirectly (derived from prices)
Level 3 – the fair value is estimated using inputs other than quoted prices.
Quoted market price represents the fair value determined based on quoted prices on active markets as at the
reporting date without any deduction for transaction costs.
The fair value of derivatives that do not have an active market are based on valuation techniques. Level 2 derivatives
include market observable inputs whilst level 3 derivatives do not include market observable inputs.
Transfer between categories
There were no transfers between levels during the year.
The fair value of financial instruments as well as the methods used to estimate the fair value are summarised in the
table below.

Other Market Price Risk
Other Equity price risk is the risk that the value of the instrument will fluctuate as a result of changes in market prices
(other than those arising from interest rate risk or currency risk), whether caused by factors specific to an individual
investment, its issuer or all factors affecting all instruments traded in the market. Investments are managed on an
individual basis and material buy and sell decisions are approved by the Board of Directors. The primary goal of the
Group’s investment strategy is to maximise investment returns.

Commodity Price Risk
The Group operates primarily in the exploration and evaluation phase and accordingly the Group’s financial assets and
liabilities are subject to minimal commodity price risk at this stage.
Capital Management
The Group’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, so
as to maintain a strong capital base sufficient to maintain future exploration and development of its projects. In order
to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell
assets to reduce debt. The Group’s focus has been to raise sufficient funds through equity to fund exploration and
evaluation activities.
There were no changes in the Group’s approach to capital management during the year. Risk management policies
and procedures are established with regular monitoring and reporting.
Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries are subject to externally imposed capital requirements.

EVENTS SUBSEQUENT TO BALANCE DATE
Subsequent to year end the following events have occurred:
• On 4 August 2022, a total of 7,650,000 options exercisable at 3.2 cents each ($0.032) were exercised. These
options were exercised utilising a cashless exercise facility, and therefore a total of 4,664,633 new ordinary
shares were issued.
Other than the above, there has not been any other matter or circumstance that has arisen after balance date that
has significantly affected, or may significantly affect, the operations of the Group, the results of those operations, or
the state of affairs of the Group in future financial periods.
The COVID-19 pandemic is ongoing and while it has yet to have a significant financial impact on the Group, it is not
practicable to estimate the potential impact, positive or negative, after the reporting date. The situation is constantly
developing and is dependent on measures imposed by the Australian Government, such as maintaining social
distancing requirements, quarantine, travel restrictions and any economic stimulus that may be provided.

Liability limited by a scheme approved under Professional Standards Legislation. - 48 - PKF Perth INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF HAMMER METALS LIMITED Report on the Financial Report Opinion We have audited the accompanying financial report of Hammer Metals Limited (the “Company”), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2022, the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the Directors’ Declaration of the Company and the consolidated entity comprising the company and the entities it controlled at the year’s end or from time to time during the financial year. In our opinion, the accompanying financial report of Hammer Metals Limited is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, including: i) Giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity’s financial position as at 30 June 2022 and of its performance for the year ended on that date; and ii) Complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001. Basis for Opinion We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report section of our report. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. Independence We are independent of the consolidated entity in accordance with the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including Independence Standards) (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code 102
ANNUAL REPORT 2022HAMMER METALS LIMITED - 49 - PKF Perth Key Audit Matter A key audit matter is a matter that, in our professional judgement, was of most significance in our audit of the financial report of the current year. This matter was addressed in the context of our audit of the financial report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on this matter. For each matter below, our description of how our audit addressed the matter is provided in that context Carrying value of capitalised exploration expenditure Why significant How our audit addressed the key audit matter As at 30 June 2022 the carrying value of exploration and evaluation assets was $21,337,979 (2021: $17,429,445), as disclosed in notes 3 and 15. The consolidated entity’s accounting policy in respect of exploration and evaluation expenditure is outlined in notes 3 and 15. Significant judgement is required: • in determining whether facts and circumstances indicate that the exploration and evaluation assets should be tested for impairment in accordance with Australian Accounting Standard AASB 6 Exploration for and Evaluation of Mineral Resources (“AASB 6”); and • in determining the treatment of exploration and evaluation expenditure in accordance with AASB 6, and the consolidated entity’s accounting policy. In particular: o whether the particular areas of interest meet the recognition conditions for an asset; and o which elements of exploration and evaluation expenditures qualify for capitalisation for each area of interest. Our work included, but was not limited to, the following procedures: • Conducting a detailed review of management’s assessment of impairment trigger events prepared in accordance with AASB 6 including: o assessing whether the rights to the tenure of the areas of interest remained current at reporting date as well as confirming that rights to tenure are expected to be renewed for tenements that will expire in the near future; o holding discussions with the Directors and management as to the status of ongoing exploration programmes for the areas of interest, as well as assessing if there was evidence that a decision had been made to discontinue activities in any specific areas of interest; and o obtaining and assessing evidence of the consolidated entity’s future intention for the areas of interest, including reviewing future budgeted expenditure and related work programmes; • considering whether exploration activities for the areas of interest had reached a stage where a reasonable assessment of economically recoverable reserves existed; • testing, on a sample basis, exploration and evaluation expenditure incurred during the year for compliance with AASB 6 and the consolidated entity’s accounting policy; and • assessing the appropriateness of the related disclosures in Notes 3 and 15. 103
ANNUAL REPORT 2022HAMMER METALS LIMTED - 50 - PKF Perth Other Information Those charged with governance are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the consolidated entity’s annual report for the year ended 30 June 2022 but does not include the financial report and our auditor’s report thereon. Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and accordingly we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon, with the exception of the Remuneration Report. In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial report or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. Responsibilities of Directors’ for the Financial Report The Directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the Directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial report, the Directors are responsible for assessing the consolidated entity’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Directors either intend to liquidate the consolidated entity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this financial report. As part of an audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also: • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. • Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the consolidated entity’s internal control. • Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the Directors 104
ANNUAL REPORT 2022HAMMER METALS LIMITED - 51 - PKF Perth • Conclude on the appropriateness of the Directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the consolidated entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial report or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the consolidated entity to cease to continue as a going concern. • Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial report, including the disclosures, and whether the financial report represents the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation. • Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the consolidated entity to express an opinion on the group financial report. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion. We communicate with the Directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit. We also provide the Directors with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, actions taken to eliminate threats or safeguards applied. From the matters communicated with the Directors, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial report of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication. Report on the Remuneration Report Opinion We have audited the Remuneration Report included in the Directors’ Report for the year ended 30 June 2022. In our opinion, the Remuneration Report of Hammer Metals Limited for the year ended 30 June 2022, complies with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001. 105
