Refer to page 14 for Hannans JORC Compliant Indicated and Inferred Resource tables. The JORC Exploration Targets have been subjected to diamond drill testing, ground geophysics and interpretation by Hannans reviewed by Mr Thomas Lindholm, of GeoVista AB. The potential quantity and grade of the exploration targets is conceptual in nature, there has been insufficient interpretation to define a JORC Mineral Resource and it is uncertain if further interpretation will result in the determination of a JORC Mineral Resource.

KIRUNA IRON PROJECT

RAKKURIJOKI
Infill diamond drilling at the Rakkurijoki iron deposit was finalised for the year totalling 19 holes for 6,634m bringing the total number of holes drilled by Hannans to 35 for a total of 12,087m (includes 6 holes at the Rakkurijrvi iron prospect, located 2km along strike from Rakkurijoki). Approximately 5,240m remain to be drilled to complete the 100m infill programme but all of these holes need to be drilled during winter when the ground is frozen. A work plan for this final phase of 100m infill drilling is currently being prepared with drilling anticipated to commence in late January 2013. Once the 100m infill programme is completed (approximately April 2013) a resource update will commence; it is anticipated that having completed the 100m-spaced infill drilling the majority of inferred tonnes will move into the indicated category. During the Quarter a scoping study to mine the Rakkurijoki iron deposit was initiated. The Rakkurijoki iron deposit is the most advanced within the Kiruna Iron Project. From a strategic standpoint, the Rakkurijoki deposit presents the best opportunity for Hannans to build an operating mine and thus become an iron ore producer. The scoping study aims to confirm or discard the technical and financial viability of the Rakkurijoki deposit as a standalone operation. The scope of works is being provided by Rock Team3 and supported by Vectura4 includes but is not limited to the following tasks:


3 4

Whittle optimisations and schedules (4 scenarios); Final and stage pit designs; Waste and moraine dump designs; Evaluating and reporting inventories for the pit designs;

Rock Team is providing Technical Services and is responsible for the delivery of the scoping study. Vectura is a specialist in transport infrastructure and movement planning in Sweden, Vectura will provide Rock Team with key logistic information which will feed into the scoping study.

HANNANS 1 s t Q U A R T E R A C T I V I T I E S R E P O R T 2012/2013

Develop mining schedules for each option (2 selected options); Conceptual site layout plans; Benchmark processing cost and performance; Conceptual design of loading terminal (2 separate proposals); Study of rail transport systems (2 alternatives); Study of port alternatives and port logistics; Options for loading terminals and loading technologies; and Sea transport options and cost for shipping to Antwerp, Bremerhaven and the Mediterranean Sea.

The final result of the scoping study will contain CapEx, FOB OpEx, indicative shipping costs, projected cash flows and an estimated NPV for the envisaged operation with accuracy of 30%. The scoping study is expected to be delivered to the Board of Directors by late December 2012. Laboratory results from seven diamond holes at Rakkurijoki were returned during the Quarter and are summarised in Table 1 below.

EKSTRMSBERG
The Ekstrmsberg iron prospect is located in the Kiruna South Hub, 30km southwest of Kiruna. Geophysical modelling at Ekstrmsberg is almost complete and will aid in designing an infill diamond drill programme scheduled for winter 2013. Several exploration holes located outside of the deposit area are also planned targeting magnetite and hematite iron mineralisation. The current JORC resource for Ekstrmsberg is:

30.4Mt @ 52% Fe (Indicated) 41.6Mt @ 52% Fe (Inferred)

LAUKKUJRVI
The Laukkujrvi iron prospect is located in the Kiruna Central Hub, 30km west of Kiruna. Laboratory results from sixteen diamond holes drilled at the Laukkujrvi iron prospect during 2011 were returned during the Quarter and are summarised in Table 2 below. The iron mineralisation at Laukkujrvi is typically narrow (average 15m thick) and of moderate grade. The iron mineralisation is comprised of both magnetite and hematite and also commonly contains coincident copper and gold mineralisation. No resource calculation has been made to date for Laukkujrvi although the JORC Exploration Target is:

4-8Mt @ 30-35% Fe

ALTAVAARA
The Altavaara iron prospect is located in the Kiruna North Hub, 15km south of Kiruna and just 600m from the E10 highway. Preliminary metallurgical test work results on drill core samples from Altavaara were received subsequent to the end of the Quarter (refer ASX Announcement dated 24 October 2012). The DTR results confirm that a high grade (>70% Fe) magnetite concentrate can be produced from ore at Altavaara despite the low feed grades (average 24%). In late 2011, 13 diamond drill holes were completed and in January 2012 an updated Exploration Target was released for Altavaara being:

PALJASJRVI

55-60Mt @ 26-29% Fe5

The Paljasjrvi iron prospect is located in the Lannavaara Hub, 70km trucking distance from the nearest rail head at Svappavaara. Preliminary metallurgical test work results on historic drill core samples from Paljasjrvi were received subsequent to the end of the Quarter (refer ASX Announcement dated 24 October 2012). The DTR results confirm that a high grade (>66% Fe) magnetite concentrate can be produced from ore at Paljasjrvi. The results also showed that the sulphur levels in the concentrate were elevated which is expected from skarn iron ores from the Kiruna District. The Paljasjrvi iron prospect is the priority exploration target in the Kiruna district for Hannans owing to its large strike length of iron mineralisation (magnetite) which is approximately 3,500m. Diamond drilling of approximately 10 holes has been planned and all governmental approvals have been received. This initial drill programme will focus on the southern half of the deposit and will have a profile spacing of approximately 200m. The current JORC Exploration Target for Paljasjrvi is:

40-60Mt @ 30-40% Fe.

PRIORITY PRECIOUS AND BASE METALS PROJECTS


SRKSJN PROJECT
Diamond drilling of three holes along a single profile, for a total of 652m, was completed during July at the Srksjn gold project located in the Swedish Caledonide Front. The drilling was designed to test a coincident IP and EM anomaly generated by the company in 2011 and also to follow up on high-grade mineralised outcrop sampled in 2010. Assay results from the diamond drilling have been received and are located in Table 3 below; whilst low-grade, a contiguous gold-mineralised zone was intercepted in all three holes. The mineralisation is characterised by strong silicification and intense arsenopyrite mineralisation within a wider marginal zone of weakly disseminated pyrite, pyrrhotite, and arsenopyrite. Lead, zinc and molybdenum values were anomalous but not economic. The host rocks at Srksjn are intensely deformed which is consistent with rocks located in the Caledonides, despite this; the low-grade gold-arsenic mineralisation can be traced between the three diamond drillholes and appears to be undeformed. Locally, high-grade gold (>10g/t Au) mineralisation as seen in outcrop and historic drill core, appears to be located within small scale (cm) fold hinges. Further work is required to fully understand the controls on gold mineralisation at Srksjn and to determine if any economic concentrations of high-grade gold located in larger scale, possible first order, fold hinges occur within the project.

FISKARFJELLET PROJECT
The Fiskarfjellet Project is located approximately 25km southwest of Alta, northern Norway. During the 2011 summer field season a sediment hosted copper discovery was made by Hannans at Fiskarfjellet. Mapping at the project has revealed several kilometres of copper-mineralised dolomitic limestone across three separate dolomite horizons namely at Fiskarvatnet, Flomvatnet and Kvartpttevatnet. High-grade copper mineralisation was also discovered at the Flintfjellet prospect located a further 10-15km southwest of Fiskarfjellet. During the 2012 summer field season further mapping and sampling of the dolomite horizons has occurred in addition to sampling of the wall-rock siltstone. Minor chalcopyrite mineralisation has been identified in the wallrock siltstones at both Fiskarvatnet and Kvartpttevatnet (AL12001). At the Flintfjellet prospect all samples collected to date (AL12002-AL12006, AL11090-AL11091) have come from an extensive dolomite boulder field/train. During the Quarter mapping of the dolomite boulder train (approximately 1km) located additional dolomite boulders with high-grade Cu-Ag mineralisation and up to 1.26 g/t Au. The mineralised boulders are found in a limited area within the dolomite boulder field. The copper mineralisation in the dolomite boulders is largely chalcocite-bornite veining. Occasionally the dolomitechert is brecciated with a semi-massive to massive chalcocite-bornite matrix. See Table 4 below for assay results.

5km to the southwest of the Flintfjellet boulder train, stratabound Cu-Ag mineralisation of the Fiskar-type was discovered along the contacts of two extensive dolomite layers of the Storviknes Formation although from the few exposures mapped the potential for significant thickness of copper mineralised dolomite rocks appears small (AL1212007-AL12010). The Norwegian Geological Survey (NGU) completed airborne electromagnetic, magnetic and radiometric surveys over the Fiskarfjellet Project during the Quarter as part of a larger government-funded study of the AltaKvnangen tectonic window. The data is expected to be released to the public in late 2012. Hannans will process, model and interpret the NGU airborne data when it becomes available and will then seek to carry out IP surveys in areas identified as prospective from the airborne data.

NJIVLOJVRI PROJECT
The Njivlojvri Project is located 35km northwest of Kautokeino (northern Norway). During the 2011 summer field season Hannans identified a >2km long copper-gold anomaly generated through CHorizon soil sampling (50 x 200m spacing) at the Njivlojvri Project. The anomaly appears to be bound to a mineralised shear zone. Hannans also discovered copper-gold mineralisation in float samples at the Suovrrajvri Prospect which sits between known mineralisation to both the north and south. Additional rock sampling of quartz-carbonate-chalcopyrite veins and prospecting in the eastern part of the licenses was completed during the 2012 summer field season. A total of 8 samples were collected and results are listed in Table 5 below. An infill C-Horizon soil sampling programme and a ground magnetic survey were also planned for the summer field season at Njivlojvri but have been postponed until 2013 due to a governmental delay in permitting.

PROJECT PIPELINE
Hannans is committed to building its pipeline. Many projects are assessed with a view to converting the projects into priority projects or relinquishing them. This process is a key part of Hannans project generation strategy.

GGOJAURE
The ggojaure Project is located approximately 100km northwest of Karesuando (northern Sweden). The project is located in the under-explored and poorly understood Archaean terrane of Norrbotten. Permits were applied for and granted during the Quarter after Hannans identified this area as an area of mineral prospectivity given the age of the rocks. Archive research showed molybdenum was identified in the project area in the early 1980s by the Swedish Geological Survey. In 1992 a private prospector collected a sulphidic quartz outcrop sample located 1.7km east of the molybdenum mineralisation; re-assay of the original sample by Hannans during the Quarter returned a value of 38.7g/t Au. Hannans subsequently spent a week in late July 2012 in the field mapping and sampling at the ggojaure Project. The mapping showed that thin (5-15cm) sulphide mineralisation (pyrite and minor chalcopyrite) occurred frequently along the several kilometre-long NNW and NNE shear zones and typically along sheared contacts of diabase dykes. Significant assay results include:

0.27g/t Au, 60.4g/t Ag, 5.09% Cu and 2990ppm W (G12005) 1.43g/t Au, 2.6g/t Ag, 1.21% Cu (G12026)

Whilst the width of mineralisation at ggojaure was disappointing the Archaean terrane in Norrbotten remains an area of exploration interest for Hannans.

VTMYRBERGET
During August 2012 a ground magnetic survey was initiated at the Vtmyrberget Project, located in the northern Skellefte District, Sweden. The survey was focused on an area of outcropping poly-metallic mineralisation with magnetic profiles covering a strike length of 13km. The poly-metallic mineralisation at Vtmyrberget is hosted in felsic volcanics (rhyolite-trachyte) and is associated with magnetite mineralisation. Previously reported sampling by Hannans returned the following results:

4.56% Cu, 32.5g/t Ag, 1,540 ppm W and 0.1g/t Au (KS08105) 2.47% Cu, 29.8g/t Ag, 370ppm W and 0.39g/t Au (KS08106) 0.9% Cu, 8.7g/t Ag, 2,470ppm W and 0.1g/t Au (KS08204)

It is anticipated that the detailed ground magnetic survey will assist in targeting areas of magnetite and accompanying poly-metallic mineralisation. The remaining profiles will be surveyed during the winter.

RINGVASSYA
During September 2012 a ground magnetic survey was initiated and completed at the Ringvassya Project located 80km north of Troms, Norway. The survey covered three prospect areas including Holmvasshgda, Srdalshgda and Srdalshgda South. The results are yet to be interpreted by Hannans. 14 samples were also collected during the Quarter, 7 of which have been returned but with no significant results. The balance of assay results is expected in late October.

KVFJORD
The Kvfjord Project is located 15km west of the town on Harstad, central Norway and is comprised of three separate prospect areas; Kvfjord, Straumsfjellet and Salen. During July 2012, 24 rock samples were collected in the area between the abandoned Berg Mine and the Storsurnsen workings (Kvfjord Prospect); results are listed in Table 6 below.

C-Horizon soil sampling (81 samples) was also carried out during the quarter at the Kvfjord Prospect covering an extensive, untested VLF conductor between Berg and Storsurnsen. The peak copper value obtained from the soil sampling was 1,160ppm and the peak gold value was 0.014ppm. At the Straumsfjellet Prospect mapping and rock chip sampling was completed in September 2012 over polymetallic skarn horizons hosted in calcareous sediments and amphibolite. The strike length of the skarn horizons is approximately 1km although the mineralisation appears to be quite thin. Assay results are expected in late October 2012. A NGU funded airborne geophysics survey was flown over the Kvfjord Project area during the Quarter with the data being released to the public on the 26th of October 2012; on receipt of the data in-house modelling and processing will commence.

UCCAVUOVDAS
The Uccavuovdas Project is located 8km north of Kautokeino (northern Norway). Similar to Njivlojvri to the northwest, Uccavuovdas is prospective for shear-hosted copper-gold mineralisation. The permits have very few exposures of outcrop and are covered by a veneer of glacial material. Tectonically the area is very complex with several first order NNW-SSE oriented shear zones or structures cutting the stratigraphy. All known mineralisation within the permit area are localised along shear structures and the stratigraphy is comprised of albite-carbonate altered greenstones and amphibolites and graphite schists. The Uccavuovdas area has been explored by several companies and the NGU from as early as 1960. The most recent work completed was by Outokumpu where they drilled 16 diamond drill holes and also completed several campaigns of both airborne and ground geophysical surveys producing multiple anomalies, most of which remain to be tested. During September2012 Hannans took 121 C-Horizon soil samples which have identified a strong copper anomaly (peak copper value of 595ppm) that is also coincident with an airborne conductivity anomaly and a NW-SE magnetic lineament. In 2011 a small outcrop of albite-carbonate altered felsite breccia with veins and disseminations of chalcopyrite and pyrite returned an assay of 0.75g/t Au and 1.56% Cu (KA11049). Follow-up work is currently being planned for Uccavuovdas.

NORDKAPP AND SNEFJORD


Follow-up of REE anomalies in regional till samples (historic till samples collected and re-assayed by NGU in 2011) was completed during the Quarter and involved mapping and a scintillometer survey. The REE-till anomalies are underlain by immature Caledonian nappe sediments (greywacke and mica schist) and radiation is very low consequently no further sampling was conducted by Hannans. Further research by NGU during 2012 indicates that the heavy mineral enrichment in the till might in fact be caused by deep weathering and glacially reworked saprolite. No further work is recommended at Nordkapp and Snefjord for REE. A single sample collected from a 1m thick massive-sulphide vein hosted in gabbro (Honningsvg Suite), assayed 0.7% Cu and 0.3% Ni and requires further follow-up.

BRENNFJELLMYRA
The Brennfjellmyra Project is located 5km southeast of the small town of Skibotn (northern Norway). Historic sampling by the NGU returned samples assay in the range 1-3g/t Au. During the Quarter Hannans followed-up on the NGU work and found additional workings with similar mineralisation (disseminated chalcopyrite-pyrrhotite) in a garnet bearing amphibolite and close to the contact with a metagabbro; 6 samples were collected and results are expected in late October.

RANA GRAPHITE
During the Quarter a 7km long graphite-rich sedimentary horizon was mapped and sampled within the Rdingfjell Nappe, located 15km west of Mo i Rana, Norway. 10 rock chip samples were collected and assayed for carbon content which ranged between 2.2-6.4% C (organic). Due to the low total carbon content no flake size analysis was completed and no permit was applied for over the prospective horizon.

LAKE JOHNSTON
The receipt of petrographic results during the quarter confirmed the presence of komatiite-hosted nickel sulphide mineralisation from RC drilling at the Lake Johnston project. This newly found sequence of komatiites is located in the southern portion of the Lake Johnston tenement package within the Mt Gordon prospect area. These results are highly encouraging for Hannans as they confirm the presence of a new sequence of nickel sulphide bearing komatiites, in an area which has no previous noted record of exploration for that style of mineralisation.

NICKEL PROJECT DIVESTMENT


At the end of the quarter the Hannans Board of Directors authorised a process to divest the companys nickel project portfolio in Western Australia, which includes the: Forrestania Project (east of Hyden, Western Australia); Lake Johnston Project (west of Norseman, Western Australia); and Queen Victoria Rocks Project (south-west of Coolgardie).

The divestment process is consistent with Hannans business stratergy of moving away from pure high-risk greenfields exploration projects to a balanced mix of exploration and development assets. Hannans is of the firm opinion that the projects subject to divestment are high quality and as a result will be looking to continue holding an interest in the projects by retaining a joint venture interest or hold equity in the incoming party. Hannans will be be seeking to retain a 100% interest in the gold rights only within the Skeleton Rocks area of the Forrestania Project.

Notes
1 The quarterly report provides a basis for informing the market how the entitys activities have been financed for the past quarter and the effect on its cash position. An entity wanting to disclose additional information is encouraged to do so, in a note or notes attached to this report. The Nature of interest (items 6.1 and 6.2) includes options in respect of interests in mining tenements acquired, exercised or lapsed during the reporting period. If the entity is involved in a joint venture agreement and there are conditions precedent which will change its percentage interest in a mining tenement, it should disclose the change of percentage interest and conditions precedent in the list required for items 6.1 and 6.2. Issued and quoted securities The issue price and amount paid up is not required in items 7.1 and 7.3 for fully paid securities. The definitions in, and provisions of, AASB 1022: Accounting for Extractive Industries and AASB 1026: Statement of Cash Flows apply to this report. Accounting Standards ASX will accept, for example, the use of International Accounting Standards for foreign entities. If the standards used do not address a topic, the Australian standard on that topic (if any) must be complied with. Payments for Administration includes transaction costs of $320,000 paid to third parties during the quarter relating to the off market takeover of Scandinavian Resources Ltd. In addition to cash as at 30 September 2012 HR Equities Pty Ltd (wholly owned subsidiary of Hannans Reward Ltd) owned 1,564,000 shares in AGO. These have subsequently been sold during October 2012 and HR Equities Pty Ltd no longer holds AGO shares.
