Drilling results at Jubilee – the main project in Hammer’s Joint Venture with Mount Isa Mines – include 5 metres grading 7.34% copper and 3.75g/t gold from just 35m down hole.
The company is also planning two diamond drill holes for metallurgical test work at the project. The planned drilling programs are scheduled to commence in May.
Hammer has completed rock chip sampling at its newly named Jubilee South prospect, 700m south of the main project area.
Exceptional assay results up to 12.4% copper and 0.74g/t gold were returned from the reconnaissance field work on the same geological unit hosting the Jubilee deposit.
At the Lake View prospect, 4.5km southeast of Jubilee, Hammer completed an historical data review and discovered elevated copper-gold results from rock chip samples and limited shallow drilling.
At the Millenium copper-cobalt-gold project JV with Global Energy Metals Corp, a 10-hole program has recommenced after being delayed by wet weather.
