Hannan Metals Limited (“Hannan” or the “Company”) (TSXV: HAN) (OTCPK: HANNF - https://www.commodity-tv.com/ondemand/companies/profil/hannan-metals-ltd/) announces the restart of field activities at its 100% owned San Martin copper-silver project in Peru.
Highlights:
Initially, social teams will enter areas to discuss and permit exploration activities. Technical field teams will then conduct systematic geochemical sampling and mapping to define outcropping mineralized zones. Work during November will focus on the Tabalosos area. Stream sediment sampling over a larger area will also commence.
At Tabalosos, previous work by Hannan has defined two target styles:
The year has been challenging and uncertain for the world as we all deal with the COVID-19 pandemic. These challenges have been acutely felt by the communities where we work in Peru. Hannan are focused on doing the right thing and our number one priority is the health, safety and well-being of our employees, stakeholders and communities. We now look forward to the opportunity to return to the field, and we will continue to support the San Martin communities while working to derisk and advance our knowledge of the vast mineral system emerging in the region.

Highlights:
- Field and social teams will mobilize to the San Martin project in early November to restart field activities; and
- Initial work will focus in the Tabalosos area where systematic geochemical sampling and mapping to define outcropping mineralized zones will be undertaken.

Stream sediment sampling over a larger area will also commence.
At Tabalosos, previous work by Hannan has defined two target styles:
- A stratabound position in the upper levels of the Sarayaquillo Formation, defined by the presence of debris organic material that hosts high-grade copper-silver mineralization. This zone is correlated over a 30-kilometre-long trend and over 5 kilometres in width across the Tabalosos project area and is the same mineralized stratigraphic level identified in outcrop at Sacanche, located 80 kilometres to the south;
- A structurally controlled sandstone hosted copper-silver target has been identified in the southern part of the project. This area is 7-kilometres-long and up to 5 kilometres wide in Tabalosos. The target is analogous with the base metal gossans discovered earlier this year at Sacanche South, located 80 km to the south.
- Three zones over a 3.5 kilometre strike, where 16 grab samples from boulders (>0.1% copper) averaged 2.7% copper and 29 g/t silver and ranged from 0.1-8.3% copper and 0.2-109 g/t silver. Reported 17 January 2019.
- A zone with 3 grab samples from boulders (>0.1% copper) with two different lithologies, averaged 3.3% copper and 12 g/t silver and ranged from 0.2-6.9% copper and 2.2-27 g/t silver. Reported 17 January 2019.
- Three zones over a 5 kilometre strike, where 6 grab samples from boulders (>0.1% copper) averaged 4.2% copper and 17 g/t silver and ranged from 0.8-11.5% copper and 8-28 g/t silver. Reported 03 September 2019.
- One zone where quick reconnaissance sampling identified a small shale-host boulder that assayed 12.3% copper and 70 g/t silver. Reported 03 September 2019.
