Hannan Announces C$2.6 Million Strategic Investment

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / September 20, 2022 / Hannan Metals Limited ("Hannan" or the "Company") (TSXV:HAN)(OTC PINK:HANNF) is pleased to announce that Teck Resources Limited (TSX: TECK.A and TECK.B, NYSE: TECK) ("Teck") has agreed to make a strategic investment in the Company by way of a private placement financing (the "Private Placement").

Pursuant to the Private Placement, Teck will subscribe 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 approximately C$2.57 million. Prior to the Private Placement, Teck held no securities of Hannan. Upon closing of the Private Placement, it is expected that Teck will hold 9.0% of the issued common shares of Hannan. No finder's fees or commissions are payable on the Private Placement. Closing of the Private Placement is expected to occur on or before October 7, 2022 (the "Closing Date"), subject to certain customary conditions, including, but not limited to, the receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals and acceptance of the TSX Venture Exchange. The Common Shares will be subject to a statutory hold period of four months plus a day following the Closing Date.

Michael Hudson, CEO, states, "Teck's investment in Hannan is a demonstrable vote of confidence in the technical merits of the Company's projects as well as our team. Over the last two years Hannan has recognized the significant potential for large copper-gold-silver deposits in Peru and has aggressively staked a large and commanding top 10 tenure position in-country. This bold grassroots strategy has attracted some of the largest industry participants to partner with Hannan, with both Teck and JOGMEC now involved at equity and joint venture levels, respectively.

"With Teck's involvement, we now look forward to accelerating our exploration efforts at the Valiente project, which is located approximately 20 km east from the township of Tingo Maria in central Peru. Valiente forms a previously unknown Miocene-age mineralized belt within a 140 km by 50 km area, where Hannan's exploration team of six geologists and support team has identified at least seven intrusion related porphyry/epithermal/skarn targets."

In connection with the Private Placement, Hannan has agreed to grant Teck an equity participation right to maintain its pro-rata ownership in Hannan, for so long as Teck's ownership in Hannan remains greater than 5.0%. In addition, Hannan has granted Teck a price protection right, pursuant to which, if within 90 days of the Closing Date Hannan issues common shares under certain transactions, at a price per common share that is less than the Issue Price (the "Lower Price"), Teck shall be entitled to receive from the Company (for no additional consideration) additional common shares in an amount such that, when added to the number of common shares purchased on the Closing Date, will equal the number of Common Shares that the aggregate Issue Price paid by Teck on the Closing Date would have purchased at the Lower Price.

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.
