NEWS RELEASE SEPTEMBER 20, 2022
HANNAN ANNOUNCES C$2.6 MILLION STRATEGIC INVESTMENT
Vancouver, Canada – Hannan Metals Limited (“Hannan” or the “Company”) (TSXV: HAN) (OTCPK:
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 wa y 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”)
o f H a n n a n a t a p r i c e o f $ 0 . 2 8 p e r C o m m o n S h a r e ( t h e “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 P e r u a n d h a s a g g r e s s i v e l y s t a k e d a l a r g e a n d
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 an d JOGMEC now involved at equity and joint
venture levels, respectively.
“With Teck’s involvement, we now look forward to accelerating o ur 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 Clo sing 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 Pl acement for exploration on the Company’s
mineral exploration projects in Peru and Ireland, and for working capital and general corporate purposes.
