Hannan Metals Limited (“Hannan” or the “Company”) (TSXV:HAN(OTCPK:HANNFis pleased to announce the commencement of a 40.6 line kilometre 2D seismic survey at the 100%-owned County Clare exploration license, which hosts the Kilbricken zinc-lead-silver deposit, Ireland.  The survey will cover the most prospective areas within the 32,223 Ha prospecting licence area, and is designed to identify and map the geological structures that host and control base metal mineralization.

  • A 40.6 line kilometre 2D seismic survey has commenced across Hannan’s County Clare 100% owned prospecting licence area, employing the latest seismic geophysical exploration techniques used by the oil and gas industry;
  • The survey will extend from the Kilbricken zinc-lead-silver resource area and will extend over an area of 12 kilometre by 14 kilometre within the Clare Basin where potential is very high for additional base metals discoveries (Figure 1);
  • Seismic is not a technique commonly used in hard rock mining and is more popular in the oil and gas industry. Hannan is one of only a handful of exploration companies to use the method globally;
  • The survey has the potential to propel understanding of the regional geology of the Clare Basin in a technological way, not previously possible. The survey aims to map subsurface structures that may host mineral deposits, allowing for highly effective drill targeting when used in combination with other data.

Mr.
