The latest update is out from Hammer Metals Limited ( (AU:HMX) ).

Hammer Metals has submitted a Mining Lease Application over its Orelia North gold deposit in Western Australia’s Yandal gold province, aiming to accelerate the project from study to development on the back of a significantly stronger gold price. The 275-hectare lease is designed around a low-cost mine-and-haul scenario to nearby mills, underpinned by an inferred resource of 1.48Mt at 1.15g/t gold, with conceptual mining studies, resource categorisation drilling, and financial modelling now underway as the company seeks access agreements and potential mining and offtake partners. Recent reverse circulation drilling has extended mineralisation at Orelia North into fresh rock, indicating scope to grow the open-pit constrained resource ahead of a planned 2026 resource upgrade, while a maiden drill hole at the West Gap target at Bronzewing South has identified a new gold target that will see further air-core and fresh rock drilling next year. Management highlights that strengthening gold and broader commodity markets could enhance project economics across its portfolio, particularly at the Kalman copper and critical minerals project in Queensland, reinforcing Hammer’s strategy to leverage its established resource base in Tier-1 jurisdictions to unlock further value for stakeholders.

The most recent analyst rating on (AU:HMX) stock is a Hold with a A$0.04 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Hammer Metals Limited stock, see the AU:HMX Stock Forecast page.
