An Australian diversified critical minerals and gold explorer 

In the vanguard of the electrification revolution

Hawthorn Resources Limited (ASX:HAW) is an Australian Stock Exchange-listed diversified gold and base metal explorer with strategic tenement holdings throughout Western Australia.

Global shifts are afoot in the way we think and act and in the way we produce and consume. Hawthorn acknowledges these global shifts as an explorer and producer of minerals that are critical for a sustainable planet.

Our magnetite asset at Mt. Bevan, is a Joint Venture with Legacy Iron Ore (a major Indian Government enterprise) and Hancock Magnetite Holdings Pty Ltd (Hancock), which is completing a PFS on the project.

It with is one of Australia’s highest grade magnetite iron ore deposits and will be a key input for Direct Reduced Iron (DRI) and next generation “Greener Cleaner Steel” – a key building block for sustainable global economic development.

Our JV exploration programs for other minerals ,namely lithium and nickel are contiguous to the Mt Ida fault and abut our world class magnetite deposit at Mt. Bevan. Discoveries by our neighbour’s, Delta Lithium (ASX: DLI) and St George Mining (ASX:SGQ) confirm the prospectivity of this emerging lithium province.

These 2 major opportunities at Mt Bevan, expose Hawthorn to a suite of essential critical minerals in our global decarbonization goal and of Net Zero emissions.

Hawthorn also acknowledges its roots as a gold explorer and a successful producer at Anglo Saxon which has a current mineral resource of 157,000 ounces at 5.7g/t. We believe gold represents a global and time proven store of value in a world of fiat currencies and uncertainty and represents a critical mineral in wealth preservation and in sustaining global financial stability.

Towards this end, our next generation magnetite asset at Mt. Bevan in Western Australia fits this agenda; it is a Joint Venture with Legacy Iron Ore (a major Indian Government enterprise) and Atlas Iron (a subsidiary of Hancock Prospecting) which is completing a Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS) on the project. Mt Bevan is one of Australia’s highest grade magnetite iron ore deposits at a direct reduction grade product of 70% Fe post beneficiation. That makes it a key input for Direct Reduced Iron (DRI) production and hence next generation “Cleaner Steel” – a key building block of global economic development and decarbonization.

Our JV exploration programs for future facing critical minerals, lithium, copper and nickel are focused along the fertile Mt Ida granite contact which adjoins our world class magnetite deposit at Mt. Bevan. Discoveries by our neighbours, Delta Lithium and St George Mining, confirm the prospectivity of this emerging lithium province. These opportunities in JV with our global partners, have provided Hawthorn and its shareholders access to the critical minerals essential in our its goal of decarbonization and net zero emissions.

Hawthorn also acknowledges its roots as a gold explorer and a successful producer at its Anglo Saxon gold project which has a current mineral resource of 157,000 ounces at 6.1g/t. We believe gold represents a global and time proven store of value in a world of fiat currencies and uncertainty and is indeed a critical mineral in wealth preservation and in underpinning global financial stability.
