Hannan Metals Limited announced completion of a 40.6 line kilometre 2D seismic survey at the Company's 100%-owned County Clare zinc project, which hosts the Kilbricken zinc-lead-silver deposit in Ireland. The regional seismic survey is a first for the area and has delivered a critical new set of subsurface data across Hannan's 35,444 hectare prospecting licence which will form the basis for current and future drill targeting and prioritization. The survey traversed the most prospective parts of the Clare Basin within Hannan's prospecting licence and was used to identify and map geological structures that may host and control base metal mineralization. The Clare Basin is considered one of the most mineralized belts in Ireland, with the nation's first base metal discoveries identified in the area in the late 1950's, with continued success including the recent identification of Kilbricken. Hannan's seismic survey propels understanding of the architecture and geological prospectivity of the Clare Basin, in a manner not previously possible. Key Points: A 40.6 line kilometre 2D seismic survey has been completed at Hannan's County Clare 100% owned prospecting licence area across a 12 x 14 kilometre section of the Clare Basin; Seismic surveying is not a common technique used in hard rock mineral exploration, but is the basis of most discoveries made in the oil and gas industry. Hannan is one of only a few mineral exploration companies to apply this method; Preliminary interpretation of new seismic data has immediately highlighted previously unrecognised structural features; Two drill rigs will restart operations next week after the Christmas break, with the continued aim to step out from the existing resource area at Kilbricken and target adjacent base metal mineralized bodies.
