## Minestarters Atlas summary

Hannan Metals has reported significant new surface results at the Previsto prospect in Peru, including a high-grade rock chip of 6.7 g/t Au and 34 g/t Ag. The results confirm a new high-grade zone 1 km south of the Previsto Central zone and suggest a large, multi-source epithermal system.

Reasoning: Strong exploration results confirming new high-grade zones and extending known mineralization at the Previsto prospect.

- Positive factor: Discovery of new high-grade zone 1km south of Previsto Central

- Positive factor: High-grade rock chip of 6.7 g/t Au and 34 g/t Ag

- Positive factor: Extension of mineralized trend to 42m

- Positive factor: Evidence of district-scale epithermal system with multiple heat sources

Facts used in scoring: 6

## Classification and evidence

**Step-Out Extension**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit.

Why it applies: New high-grade trends identified 1 km south of the Previsto Central zone.

Evidence · text

> confirmed two new high-grade trends developing 1 km south of the Previsto Central high-grade zone

**Bonanza Intercept**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Exceptionally high-grade zone, well above the deposit-type norm.

Why it applies: 6.7 g/t Au rock chip is exceptionally high for an epithermal exploration target.

Evidence · text

> including: 6.7 g/t Au, 34 g/t Ag, 40 ppm Cu

**QA/QC Disclosed**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Release includes QA/QC disclosure — certified lab, QP sign-off, or stated methods \(blanks, standards, duplicates\).

Why it applies: Release mentions use of CRM, field duplicates, and 10% check samples analyzed by ALS.

Evidence · text

> routine use of CRM and field duplicates as well as 10% check samples analyzed by ALS Lima

**Apparent Width Only**

Polarity: negative

Definition: Interval given as downhole width with no true width or drill orientation — apparent width may overstate true thickness.

Why it applies: Results are from rock chip and channel sampling where true widths are not yet determined.

Evidence · text

> At this stage true widths of mineralization are not known.

## How Atlas produces this analysis

Minestarters Atlas uses automated extraction to summarize mining announcements, identify reported measurements, and classify supporting evidence. Sentiment reflects the extracted narrative and classification rules; it is an interpretation, not a reported measurement. Evidence quotes and context are provided where available. Missing data, low-confidence results, and review flags indicate limitations. Check the original publisher announcement before relying on an interpretation.
