[{"type":"text","content":"Hannan Channel Samples 126 Metres @ 0.22 % Copper from Previsto Central in PeruVANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / August 6, 2024 / Hannan Metals Limited's (\"Hannan\" or the \"Company\") (TSXV:HAN)(OTC PINK:HANNF) is pleased to announce that a significant copper-gold porphyry discovery continues to expand at the Previsto Central prospect within the 100%-owned Valiente Project in Peru (Figures 1 and 2).Highlights:Expanding copper-gold porphyry footprint over 5 km x 3 km: Top of ridge soil sampling and mapping and prospecting in creeks has expanded the footprint of the porphyry mineralized system at Previsto Central over 5 km x 3 km.Extensive leached copper mineralization discovered in outcrop: Impressive copper-rich outcrops have been identified in creeks (Figures 3-8). Two channels, separated by 700 m are reported here:CH14455: 126 m @ 0.22% CuCH15391: 192 m @ 0.16% CuLarge team mobilized: A team of 30 including geologists, technicians and local support are working on the project undertaking soil sampling and mapping.Large scale geophysical survey soon to commence: Project-scale induced polarization (IP) geophysics soon to commence with the aim of mapping the vast porphyry target to depth.LiDAR contract signed: A large-scale LiDAR survey over 7 km by 10 km will be flown over the coming month to accelerate exploration by identifying outcrops and mapping the geology of the mineralized system.Michael Hudson, CEO, states: \"Field work during the optimal dry season with a large 30-person team continues to expand the Previsto Central porphyry system with top of ridge soil sampling. mapping and prospecting in creeks over 5 km x 3 km. We are now starting to understand this mineralized system better, with gold-rich areas in the upper western areas (800 m higher vertical relief) transitioning to more copper-rich areas lower in the system to the east. We look forward to further results, including the first geophysics on the project, as the large team continues to de-risk the project and move it forward to drill permitting as soon as possible.\"Top of ridge soil sampling, mapping and prospecting in creeks has expanded the footprint of the porphyry mineralized system at Previsto Central over 5 km x 3 km (Figures 3-8). The K-feldspar porphyry with meta-crystic K-feldspar porphyry dykes show moderate to pervasive phyllic alteration assemblage with s...
