Pursuant to the Private Placement, Teck Resources Limited (TECK.A and TECK.B, TECK) ("Teck") has subscribed for 9,180,000 common shares (the "Common Shares") of Hannan at a price of $0.28 per Common Share (the "Issue Price") for gross proceeds to Hannan of C$2,570,400. Prior to the Private Placement, Teck held no securities of Hannan. Upon closing of the Private Placement, Teck holds 9.0% of the issued common shares of Hannan.

Michael Hudson, CEO, states, "We welcome Teck as a shareholder and thank them for their support of both our technical and social teams, as well support for Hannan's strategy to open up new search spaces in Peru's frontiers to find the next generation of large-scale global copper-silver and copper-gold deposits. This strategy has led some of the biggest names in our Industry to partner with Hannan, with both Teck and JOGMEC now involved at equity and joint venture levels, respectively. Our partnerships allow us to strategically plan sequential tests of multiple large-scale mineral systems in the foreland basins and back-arc of Peru over the coming years. The opportunities are tremendous."

The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Private Placement for exploration on the Company's mineral exploration projects in Peru and Ireland, and for working capital and general corporate purposes.
