[{"type":"text","content":" Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - May 4, 2026) - Hannan Metals Limited (TSXV: HAN) (OTC Pink: HANNF) (\"Hannan\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to report a material expansion of the high-grade gold prospect at its 100% owned Previsto Central prospect, Peru. Following the previously reported principal channel of 135.2 m @ 1.3 g/t Au, the Company made the decision to return to the high-grade core and systematically test the surrounding area perpendicular to the principal channel. The result has exceeded expectations and defined a continuous high-grade footprint with peak grades of 11.2 g/t Au, channel intervals up to 18.7 m at 2.1 g/t Au, and panel samples averaging 6.0 g/t Au. Sampling to date has been limited to where outcrops are exposed in the jungle, and all sampled areas represent minimum dimensions and remain open in all directions. Hyperspectral data across both Previsto Central and Mirador Creek indicates the current surface exposure sits at the apex of a preserved alkalic system with vertical scale potential of more than 500 m. Key Points: All 68 channel samples and 2 panel samples returned gold mineralization across the 110 m x 20 m area, with peak grades of 11.2 g/t Au and a continuous mineralized width of 12 m laterally. The high-grade zone remains open to the east, west and south. Key channel results include: CH18106: 18.7 m @ 2.1 g/t Au and 9 g/t Ag, including: 14.8 m @ 2.5 g/t Au and 10 g/t Ag. CH17499: 18.0 m @ 0.9 g/t Au and 9 g/t Ag, including: 4.9 m @ 3.2 g/t Au and 27 g/t Ag. Panel Sample Grades: Two panel samples averaged 6.0 g/t Au (range 2.25 to 9.8 g/t Au), 34.7 g/t Ag and 19.3 ppm Te, reinforcing the alkalic Au-Ag-Te signature. Direct Field Evidence of Alkalic Deposit Class: Mapped roscoelite (vanadium mica) with pXRF readings up to 8% V, pervasive adularia and potassium-feldspar alteration across all sampled channels, and a controlling N340-trending fracture system that hosts the highest-grade vanadium and manganese-oxide mineralization. Visible Gold Identified: Sample 18111 at Previsto Central contained visible gold (Plate 1) in a veined intrusive, with the channel sample assaying 0.53 m @ 1.4 g/t Au and 5 g/t Ag. Mirador Creek: Systematic mapping identified a leakage zone (channel sample 15913: 1.7 g/t Au and 12 g/t Ag) indicative of a steam-heated or sinter zone at the top of a hydr...
