Hannan Defines Large-Scale IP Geophysical Anomaly at The Ricardo Herrera Copper-Gold Porphyry, Valiente Peru
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.

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / December 19, 2024 / Hannan Metals Limited ("Hannan" or the "Company") (TSXV:HAN)(OTC PINK:HANNF) is pleased to report the discovery of a significant chargeability anomaly at the Ricardo Herrera copper-gold porphyry project within the Company's
Highlights:
|
Michael Hudson, CEO, states: "The identification of this extensive IP anomalies at Ricardo Herrera marks a pivotal development in our understanding of the copper-gold porphyry potential at Valiente. The convergence of multiple exploration indicators - from geophysics to surface geochemistry - has provided us with highly promising drill targets. With our recently approved DIA permit and 14 drill platforms in place, we are excellently positioned to test this compelling porphyry system in Q2 2025."
Geophysical Interpretation
Ricardo Herrera represents an outcropping Miocene calc-alkalic porphyry system where surface copper mineralization coincides with extensive phyllic and intermediate argillic alteration over 800 m x 250 m. Following a successful 2D IP orientation survey in 2023 that mapped the system to 500 m depth, our new 3DIP survey has significantly advanced the subsurface understanding and further de-risked our upcoming drill program. Two distinct anomalies have been identified:
The Main Anomaly : This extensive feature correlates directly with surface mineralization, exhibiting:
A robust chargeability anomaly extending over 1,000 m strike length and 250 m width
Chargeability values typically ranging 12ms to15ms with peaks up to 26ms
Strong correlation with surface mineralization and alteration patterns
Clear definition to at least 350 m depth (Figures 4 to 6)
The Parallel Target : This newly identified anomaly presents compelling characteristics:
Located immediately SW of and parallel to the main anomaly
Dimensions of 400 m length by 200 m width
Strong chargeability values ranging from 8ms to -26ms
No surface expression, representing an exciting blind target within the permitted drilling area
The geophysical results strongly support surface observations, confirming Ricardo Herrera as the upper portion of a substantial multistage high-K calc-alkalic porphyry system. While surface mineralization is strongly leached, the chargeability data reveals a large chargeable body persisting to at least 350 m depth, suggesting preservation of the mineralizing system at depth.
Geophysical Survey Details
The Induced Polarization ("IP") geophysical survey was carried out by GeoMad E.I.R.L, a Lima-based consultancy company. The survey employed a pole-dipole electrode configuration on single lines with electrode spacing at 100 m intervals. Four lines were surveyed with lengths varying between 1.2 km and 6.8 km. Equipment used included:
Huntec 10Kw 20A transmitter
10 channel ELREC PRO receiver
LECIA GS15 GNSS for station recording
Geological Setting and Mineralization
Ricardo Herrera is an outcropping Miocene calc-alkalic porphyry target hosted within a grey to greenish porphyritic intrusion with hornblende and feldspar phenocrysts. The mineralization shows:
Strong phyllic and intermediate argillic alteration over 800 m x 250 m
Both M (magnetite-bearing), B (quartz/biotite) and A-veins (saccharoidal quartz/K-feldspar) with encouraging densities of approximately 6 veins per metre
Evidence of supergene enrichment in lower topographic levels where chalcocite replaces chalcopyrite
Secondary copper within manganese oxides (neotocite) and red iron oxides (hematite) in the leached zone with values exceeding
0.1% Cu
About the Valiente Project
Hannan Metals' Valiente Project identified a Miocene porphyry copper-gold belt in Peru's back-arc, with 18 Cu-Au porphyry and epithermal systems across 140 km x 50 km. The Belen Prospect (Figure 1), 19 km east of Tingo Maria, features three main targets: Ricardo Herrera, Vista Alegre, and Sortilegio. Despite being only
Technical Background
All samples were collected by Hannan geologists. Samples were transported to ALS in Lima via third party services using traceable parcels. At the laboratory, rock samples were prepared and analyzed by standard methods. The sample preparation involved crushing
