ASX & MEDIA ANNOUNCEMENT

Nickel Drilling at Lake Johnston

 Drill testing of highly prospective nickel sulphide targets has commenced

 Nickel targets located adjacent to Poseidon Nickel's Lake Johnston Project

 Hannans' 20% interest free carried by Reed Resources Ltd (ASX:RDR)

20 October 2014
Hannans Reward Ltd (ASX:HNR) (Hannans or the Company) is pleased to advise that joint venture partner Reed Resources Ltd (ASX:RDR) (Reed) has commenced Diamond drill testing of highly prospective nickel sulphide targets at the Lake Johnston Project, located west of Norseman in Western Australia (refer Location Plan on page 2).
Hannans Managing Director Damian Hicks said, "The Lake Johnston region has been re-energised by Poseidon Nickel's recent acquisition of two nickel mines from Norilsk. The Hannans-Reed nickel targets, located approximately 50km from the Poseidon concentrator, have been the subject of extensive geochemical, geophysical and geological activities by both companies. Drilling has started and we're optimistic that Reed will encounter nickel sulphide mineralisation in the drilling."
In 2012, Hannans intersected nickel sulphide mineralisation in a single reverse circulation (RC) drillhole drilled to test a coincident copper-nickel auger geochemistry anomaly1. In 2013, a geochemical analysis of drill samples confirmed the presence of a fertile, high-MgO, reduced komatiite with the potential to host high tenor nickel sulphides. Petrographical analysis of the samples confirmed the presence of pentlandite and violarite (after pentlandite).
Additional petrography by Reed confirmed trace amounts of slightly supergene altered (violarite) pentlandite plus accessory pyrrhotite and chalcopyrite coincident with the end of hole sample that returned approximately 1% sulphur plus subgrade nickel. Hannans drilling did not penetrate the footwall contact which is typically the prospective position for nickel sulphide accumulation in komatiite-hosted nickel sulphide deposits. To this end, Reed Resources is planning to test the footwall position with Diamond drilling and subsequent downhole geophysical surveys (electromagnetic)2.
Reed will drill two Diamond drillholes for a total of 1,000 metres. Results of the drilling will be released by
Reed.
