Hannan Metals (HANNF) has received the Authorization for Exploration Activities permit for its maiden drill program at the 100%-owned Valiente copper-gold project in Peru. The permit allows the company to begin drill access work for 40 approved platforms within the 702-hectare Belen area.
Three major targets have been identified for drilling: Ricardo Herrera copper-gold porphyry with a 1.0 km by 0.25 km chargeability anomaly (15 platforms), Vista Alegre epithermal gold prospect with a 2.4 km long geophysical anomaly (12 platforms), and Sortilegio copper-gold porphyry with a 1.2 km long chargeability anomaly (13 platforms).
Before drilling can commence in Q2 2025, the company needs to complete the Archaeological Monitoring Program approval, SERFOR deforestation authorization, and drilling contractor selection. The Belen prospect represents about 4% of Hannan's total Valiente landholding, where 18 copper-gold porphyry and epithermal systems have been identified across a 140 km x 50 km area.
Hannan Metals (HANNF) has reported significant gold mineralization at its 100%-owned Previsto project in Peru. Channel sampling revealed high-grade alkalic-type epithermal gold mineralization with 69.1 m at 2.4 g/t gold, including 26.0 m at 5.4 g/t Au. The discovery is within a larger 6 km x 6 km epithermal-porphyry cluster.
Key findings include a north-south channel assaying 69.1 m @ 2.4 g/t Au and 13 g/t Ag, with peak assays of 0.7 m @ 16.1 g/t Au. An east-west channel yielded 7.0 m @ 1.2 g/t Au and 19 g/t Ag. The mineralization remains open in all directions and sits within a 4 km x 4 km gold-in-soil anomaly.
The company has secured drill permits for Belen (20 km SW) with drilling scheduled for Q2 2025. Multiple untested targets surround the gold mineralization, including copper porphyry mineralization 1.3 km northwest (192 m @ 0.16% Cu) and a gold-copper target 2.6 km east.

Hannan Metals (HANNF) has discovered a significant 1.2 km chargeability anomaly at its Sortilegio copper-gold porphyry prospect within the Valiente project in Peru. The discovery includes two key features: a shallow structural target with high-chargeability anomalies extending 600m along north-south structures, and a deep porphyry target stretching 1.2 km in length from 250m to 500m below surface.
The Sortilegio prospect is part of a 9.3 km long copper-gold district at Belen, which includes the Vista Alegre epithermal system and Ricardo Herrera copper-gold porphyry. The company has received approval for 13 drilling platforms and plans to commence drilling in Q2 2025.
The prospect features an exposed Miocene alkalic copper-gold porphyry system with zoned mineralization. Systematic soil sampling has revealed a central copper anomaly surrounded by gold, zinc, and lead values. The central mineralized zone measures 350m × 350m with high-density stockwork veining.
Hannan Metals has discovered a significant chargeability anomaly at the Ricardo Herrera copper-gold porphyry project in Peru. The main anomaly measures 1,000m by 250m, mapped to 350m depth, and correlates with surface mineralization and a positive magnetic anomaly. A second parallel target has been identified with dimensions of 400m length by 200m width.
The discovery features outcropping porphyry-style mineralization within a multi-stage calc-alkalic intrusion, showing strong phyllic and intermediate argillic alteration over 800m x 250m. The project has received approval for fourteen drill platforms, with inaugural drilling scheduled for Q2 2025.
The geophysical survey revealed chargeability values ranging from 12ms to 15ms with peaks up to 26ms in the main anomaly, while the parallel target shows values from 8ms to -26ms. The site is located within 2km of the recently announced Vista Alegre epithermal target.
Hannan Metals has identified a significant IP anomaly at the Vista Alegre epithermal prospect within its Valiente copper-gold project in Peru. The discovery reveals two distinct types of anomalies: a high chargeability - low resistivity zone extending over 2.4 km strike with up to 0.23 ppm gold in soils, and high chargeability - high resistivity zones over 1 km strike with mineralized silicified boulders containing up to 1.98 g/t Au and 29 g/t Ag.
The target is drill-ready with 12 approved platforms, and drilling is scheduled to commence in Q2 2025. Vista Alegre shows multi-signature characteristics including epithermal, porphyry, and skarn features, with mineralization appearing in siliceous boulders and weathered diorite outcrops along two trends extending 3 km in total.
Hannan Metals has received environmental approval (DIA) from Peru's Ministry of Mines for its first drill program at the Belen prospect within the Valiente copper-gold project. The approval covers 40 drill platforms across 702 hectares, encompassing three key prospects: Ricardo Herrera (porphyry copper-gold), Vista Alegre (epithermal gold), and Sortilegio (porphyry copper-gold). The company plans to initiate drilling activities in Q1 2025, with drill rig mobilization expected in Q2 2025. The project represents a newly discovered metallogenic province in Central Eastern Peru, where Hannan is exploring for Miocene-age porphyry copper-gold deposits.

Hannan Metals has completed the first stage of a 79 line km Induced Polarization (IP) geophysical survey at the Previsto Prospect within the 100%-owned Valiente Project in Peru. The survey, coupled with field mapping and soil sampling, has confirmed a 6 km x 6 km large copper-gold porphyry and epithermal mineral system with seven high-priority targets.
Key findings include:
- Two porphyry targets identified within a 5 km long and up to 1 km wide intrusive trend
- Five epithermal gold targets correlating with extensive gold in soil anomalies
- The IP survey crew has moved to the Ricardo Herrera area within the Belen target for a 28 line km offset array 3D IP survey
The company is now focusing on providing further information on these targets for drill permitting. The Belen area, located 25 km southwest, contains two porphyry targets and an epithermal system over a 9 km strike.
