HANNANS SIGNS AGREEMENT TO SELL SWEDISH COPPER PROSPECT FOR $4M
Hannans Reward Ltd ( Hannans ) is pleased to announce it has executed a binding Heads of Agreement ( HOA ) with Avalon Minerals Limited (ASX:AVI) ( Avalon ) to sell its Discovery Zone Prospect located in Kiruna, Sweden to Avalon for $4 Million.
The divestment of the Discovery Zone Prospect is consistent with Hannans business strategy of divesting non-core assets and allocating funds towards the development of its Kiruna Iron Project in Sweden and copper-gold portfolio in Scandinavia.
Benefits for Hannans
Subject to Avalon completing due diligence to its satisfaction, the $4 Million raised from the divestment will assist Hannans with funding:
-
Diamond drilling and metallurgical testwork to increase the global JORC resource of 473Mt @ 40% Fe at the Kiruna Iron Project located 1,200km north of Stockholm, Sweden (refer Appendix A);
-
a scoping study for the Rakkurijoki JORC resource, the most advanced deposit within the Kiruna Iron Project; and
-
exploration on Hannans’ extensive portfolio of copper-gold projects in Sweden and Norway.
Commenting on the transaction, Mr Damian Hicks, Managing Director of Hannans, said:
“ The sale of this non-core asset will provide Hannans with additional funds to advance its Kiruna Iron Project and in particular complete a scoping study on the Rakkurijoki deposit, which is located 60 metres from a sealed road, 600 metres from modern open-access rail and 6 kilometres from the largest iron mine in Europe. In addition to the Discovery Zone Prospect, Hannans has an extensive portfolio of valuable copper, gold and nickel prospects.”
Conditions Precedent
The transaction is conditional upon completion of legal and technical due diligence by Avalon of the Discovery Zone Prospect, to the satisfaction of Avalon by 23 November 2012. If the condition precedent is not satisfied, the HOA will terminate and the sale will not proceed.

*The JORC Exploration Targets have been subjected to diamond drill testing, ground geophysics and interpretation by the Geological Survey of Sweden reviewed by Mr Thomas Lindholm, of GeoVista AB. The potential quantity and grade of the exploration targets is conceptual in nature, there has been insufficient interpretation to define a JORC Mineral Resource and it is uncertain if further interpretation will result in the determination of a JORC Mineral Resource.
