“Garimpeiro” columnist Barry FitzGerald has covered the resources industry for 35 years. Now he’s sharing the benefits of his experience with Stockhead readers.
Investors would be hard pressed to find a modestly capitalised junior explorer with stronger newsflow in coming months than Hammer Metals (ASX:HMX).
There’s plenty of potential game changing stuff too for a company that has a hard asset backstop to its current $26.6 million market cap at 3c a share.
The backstop is the Kalman copper-gold-molybdenum-rhenium project in the Mt Isa region. It is a 429,000t copper equivalent resource which Garimpeiro reckons more than covers Hammer’s market cap.
It will be developed one day, probably wrapped into a consolidated copper play, with its moly component coming into its own following China – the world’s main producer of the steel alloying agent – moving it into its basket of export-controlled metals.
But enough on Kalman. It is nice to have but it is on the exploration front that Hammer could generate some near-term excitement.
It has got loads of exploration results to come from exploration joint ventures in the Mt Isa district with big names like Sumitomo and South 32 where the targets are very much of the tier-1 type, as well as a bunch of results from 100% owned project in and around the district.
Again, newsflow from all the activity (completed and planned) will be as good as it gets for a junior explorer with Hammer’s modest market cap. Leverage to success is extreme, remembering there is always the backstop of Kalman should a meaningful discovery prove to be elusive this time around.
