Positive Joint Venture Decision

Swedish mining company to proceed to Stage 2 of Pahtohavare Cu-Au joint venture

Hannans to retain a 25% interest free carried to a Decision to Mine

Hannans Reward Ltd (ASX:HNR) is pleased to advise that Swedish mining company and joint venture partner, Lovisagruvan AB (AktieTorget: LOVI) has formally notified Hannans of its decision to proceed to Stage 2 of the Pahtohavare Joint Venture.

The Pahtohavare Cu-Au Project comprises three deposits, namely Central, Southern and South Eastern and is located approximately 8km south-west of Kiruna, a full service mining town in northern Sweden (refer Figures 1 and 2). The Central deposit contains a current JORC Compliant Inferred Mineral Resource Estimate1 of 1.4Mt at 1.8% Cu and 0.6 g/t Au (2.4% CuEq2).

Lovisagruvan AB is funding the costs of exploration pursuant to the Joint Venture announced to ASX on 27 March 2015 with Hannans to retain a 25% free carried interest through to a Decision to Mine. Hannans and Lovisagruvan will now incorporate a corporation (a Swedish aktiebolag) through which the joint venture will be administered.

As part of their Stage 2 commitment Lovisagruvan will:

  • prepare and lodge an exploitation concession application (i.e. a mining lease application) for the Central deposit within approximately 12 months; and

  • provide Hannans' wholly owned subsidiary Kiruna Iron AB with a AUD0.475M interest free working capital facility.

    As part of their Stage 1 commitment Lovisagruvan spent AUD0.7M and completed the following:

  • 8 new Diamond holes and 1 Diamond tail for a total of 760.3m. The drilling programme confirmed the wide, high-grade nature of the copper-gold-silver mineralisation at Central but also showed that the mineralisation is complex, likely due to the insitu weathering and subsequent supergene overprinting of the deposit.

  • copper speciation testwork that showed the majority of the copper mineralisation is associated with cuperiferous clays. Copper speciation testwork, undertaken using an aggressive acid (H2SO4) concentration of 50g/L over 1 hour, indicated the percentage of acid soluble copper for each of the three composites ranged from 83.10-87.85%.

  • a preliminary environmental review that showed the waste rock is most likely not acid producing and no major environmental problems are expected from the existing waste dumps.


1 Refer ASX Announcement dated 31st January 2014 for more information regarding the resource estimate including JORC Table 1 information.

2 Copper equivalent (CuEq) has been calculated using metal selling prices of USD$3.56 / lb for Cu and USD$1,510 / Oz for Au, along with metal recoveries of 90% for Au and 65% for Cu in sulphide material and 80% for Au and 50% of Cu in oxide material. The following equations were used:

  • Oxide: CuEq = (1.12 x Au (ppm) grade) + (0.98 x Cu% grade)

  • Sulphide: CuEq = (0.97 x Au (ppm) grade) + (0.99 x Cu% grade)

It is the company's opinion that the copper and gold metals used in the metal equivalent calculation have a reasonable potential for recovery and sale based on historical metallurgial testwork and previous mining.
