Completed a placement of c.126m shares to raise $2.8 million through two tranches to institutional and sophisticated investors. During the 4th Quarter (April – June 2013) Hannans plans to: Pahtohavare Project (Copper-Gold) Continue validation and interpretation of historic drill data the Southern and South-Eastern Orebodies and the Eastern Zone at Pahtohavare. Design and commence a drill campaign at the Central Orebody to: test targets where historical drilling was in-effective; infill historical drill profile spacing down to 25 metres; test EM Conductors ‘down dip’ of existing mineralisation; test potential ‘new lodes’ beneath existing mineralisation; an d confirm historical drill results with twin hole drilling.

At Pahtohavare, copper-gold mineralisation is associated with rock units that are both conductive (graphite
schist) and non-conductive (chert, basic tuff and gabbro). For this reason it has been important to generate a
thorough understanding of the geology of the Central, Southern and South-Eastern orebodies in order to
understand where the existing mineralisation is hosted. This understanding will aid in interpreting the source of
the anomalies and designing drill holes to test the targets.
The copper-gold mineralisation at the Central orebody is closely associated with a variably altered graphitic schistunit which is strongly conductive and can have the effect of ‘masking’ any lower strength conductors i.e.
disseminated sulphides. The multiple ore lodes and the stratigraphy are both dipping in the same orientation
which makes it challenging to distinguish between the two conductive units (graphite and disseminated
sulphides). The existing, shallow, high-grade ore at Central is oxidised and therefore not conductive and will not
generate a geophysical anomaly although the deeper mineralisation highlighted in Drill Profiles 4 & 5 is associated
with disseminated sulphides (Refer to ASX release dated 14 March 2013).
Mineralisation at Central is hosted in both conductive and non-conductive rock units. The FLTEM survey has
identified conductive anomalies (Conductors 1 & 2) located ‘down-dip’ from existing copper-gold mineralization
at the Central orebody (refer to Figure 5 below). The additional conductive anomalies (Conductors 3 & 4)
identified at Central may represent stratiform-type copper-zinc mineralisation which has been identified (from
historic drilling) to the east of both the Central and the South Eastern orebodies. All of these anomalies must bedrilled tested to confirm the source of the anomalies and to identify additional copper-gold mineralisation.
Four drillholes have therefore been proposed to test the modelled conductors at the Central orebody. These
four holes will be part of a larger drill program designed to test for additional close to surface mineralisation.
All four drillholes will be followed up with down-hole EM surveys to improve the modelling of existing anomalies
and to help identify any off-hole conductors that may represent additional copper-gold drill targets.

RAKKURI IRON PROJECT
Overview
The Rakkurijoki Iron deposit is located 5 kilometres south of Kiruna, a full service mining town in Sweden (refer
to Figures 1).
The Scoping Study determined the Rakkurijoki deposit has the potential to supply iron product over a 12 year
mine life, at a premium price, to the European and the Middle East North African markets.
The Scoping Study evaluated the practicality of combining a low-cost logistics solution with the least mining,
processing, financial and execution risk.
A decision has now been made to initiate a Pre-feasibility Study (PFS) on the Rakkurijoki deposit and to expand
the PFS to include the Rakkurijärvi Iron deposit, located 2.5km south-west of Rakkurijoki (refer to Figure 1).
In the future, the two deposits collectively will be referred to as the Rakkuri Iron Project. The combination of
the two deposits may further enhance the economics of the Rakkuri Project with relatively minimal additional
capital expenditure.
The Rakkurijoki deposit is located less than 1 kilometre from a modern, government owned, open access heavy gauge rail line. The line connects the Rakkurijoki deposit to two modern iron ore export ports. This premium
location with regard to logistics differentiates the project from other iron projects in Scandinavia and represents
a significant competitive advantage.
A Joint Venture partner is being sought to fund the completion of a further drilling campaign and the PFS.
PROJECT PIPELINE
During the Quarter Hannans continued the Divestment Process of its Australian Projects including Forrestania,
Lake Johnston, Queen Victoria Rocks and its East Pilbara Project (no exploration work was completed in
Australia during the Quarter).
Hannans also initiated a divestment process for its Norwegian Projects including Fiskarfjellet and Njivlojávri
copper-gold projects (no exploration work was completed in Norway during the Quarter).
At the end of the quarter the company was in discussions with a number of groups relating to the divestment
process, however no formal agreements have yet been reached in relation to any proposed transactions.

Competent Persons Statement-Exploration Results
The information in this document that relates to exploration results is based on information compiled by Ms
Amanda Scott, Exploration Manager, Hannans Reward Ltd, who is a Member of the Australian Institute of Mining
and Metallurgy. Ms Scott is a full-time employee of Hannans Reward Ltd. Ms Scott has sufficient experience,
which is relevant to the style of mineralisation and types of deposits under consideration and to the activity
which has been undertaken to qualify as a Competent Person as defined by the 2004 edition of the “AustralianCode for the Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves”. Ms Scott consents to the
inclusion in the report of the matters based on the information in the form and context in which it appears.
Competent Persons Statement-Exploration Targets
The information in this document that relates to JORC Exploration Targets is based on information reviewed by
Mr Thomas Lindholm of GeoVista AB, Luleå, Sweden acting as an independent “Competent Person”. Mr
Lindholm is a Fellow of the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy. Mr Lindholm is qualified to be a
Competent Person as defined by the JORC Code on the basis of training and experience in the exploration,
mining and estimation of mineral resources of gold, base metal and iron deposits. Mr Lindholm consents to the
inclusion in the report of the matters based on the information in the form and context in which it appears.
Notes
Survey:
Historic drillhole collars from the Central orebody have been located in the field by Hannans and surveyed with
an RTK GPS in the Swedish coordinate system RT 90 (2.5 Standard). Not all drillhole collars were located and
these positions have been back-calculated through a grid transformation.
Drillhole elevation data has been collected for the holes found in the field via RTK GPS but elevation for the
holes not found will be generated through a digital elevation model (DEM) derived from digital spot elevation
data supplied by Metria as part of the process to convert the current JORC Exploration Target to a JORC
Mineral Resource.
Assays:
The historic drill assays quoted in this press release were undertaken by Swedish Geological AB and assayed at
SGAB Analys in Luleå, Sweden via an acid digest and ICP for all elements except for gold which was via a fire
assay. The majority of historic drillcore is 76mm and was sampled to geological boundaries and half-cored.
The results have not yet been independently verified by Hannans, however the sampling and assaying are
considered to have been undertaken using standard industry practice and QA/QC procedures. Core from more
than 150 holes are stored in archive and will be used to validate the historic assaying as part of the process to
convert the current JORC Exploration Target to a JORC Mineral Resource.
Current intercepts are weighted averages calculated using a 0.1% Cu and 0.1g/t Au lower cut-off. Generally the
assays were consistent through a mineralised interval but where a high value has been diluted by lower values
