Hannan Announces Leadership Transition

Vancouver, Canada – Hannan Metals Limited ("Hannan" or the "Company") (TSXV: HAN) (OTCPK:

HANNF) announces that Mr. Lars Dahlenborg has stepped down as President of the Company, effective

immediately. Mr. Dahlenborg, a founding member of Hannan, will remain with the Company as a senior

consultant for a six-month period to ensure a seamless transition.

Michael Hudson, Executive Chairman and CEO, states: "On behalf of the Board of Directors and the entire

Hannan team, I extend our sincere gratitude to Lars for his vision, dedication, and leadership as a founder and

President of Hannan. His geological expertise and strategic direction have been instrumental in advancing our

projects to their current promising stage. We respect Lars' decision and are thankful that he will continue to

support the Company during this transition period, reflecting his ongoing commitment to Hannan's success."

The Company does not plan to immediately fill the President role, having strategically expanded its leadership

capabilities over the last year. Hannan has strengthened its local management and technical teams under the

guidance of Company Director and Peru General Manager Katty Vargas, positioning the Company to effectively

execute its upcoming exploration initiatives.

Hannan is fully permitted and prepared to commence drill testing of the substantial porphyry copper -gold and

epithermal gold mineral systems at the Ricardo Herrera, Vista Alegre, and Sortilegio prospects within the Belen

area of the Valiente Project, Peru. Drilling operations are scheduled to begin in the second week of May 2025.
