As highlighted in the press release:

• Hammer Metals anticipates commencing a sub-audio magnetics ground geophysical survey over the Paddy B, Judith and Trackside prospects at Perentie in two weeks.

Hammer is keen the expedite exploration at Perentie, and is planning to have the first pass drilling completed and reported by late November. It is still however very early days at Perentie with many of the other targets and trends obscured by shallow cover to be tested in due course.
