Hannans' Mt Holland Lithium Project is located adjacent to Earl Grey, a globally significant lithium deposit jointly owned by the world's largest producer of lithium and Kidman Resources Ltd – Earl Grey will underpin a world-class long-life integrated lithium project1. Hannans major shareholder is Neometals Ltd, a leading Australian specialty minerals company and minority owner of the producing Mt Marion lithium mine. Hannans aims to comprehensively test its 100% owned Mt Holland Lithium Project2 with the aim of discovering a lithium deposit comparable to Earl Grey. Exploration activities including drilling (shallow and deep), surface sampling, mapping and geophysics will be ongoing at Mt Holland during the next six months.

1 Earl Grey is owned by New York Stock Exchange listed SQM and emerging Australian mining company Kidman Resources Ltd (ASX:KDR), refer kidmanresources.com.au.

2 Hannans previously referred to its lithium projects as being located at 'Forrestania', however it is more accurate to refer to them as being at 'Mt Holland'. Hannans' nickel and gold projects are located at Forrestania and the Company's lithium projects are located at Mt Holland.

Figure 3: Hannans 100% tenements and applications shown in red. The Mt Holland West (existing tenure) is shown in 'light' red and Mt Holland East tenement applications (new tenure) is shown in 'dark' red. The lithium target zones are located approx. 4kms west of the western granite dome and 4kms east of the eastern granite dome. The globally significant Earl Grey deposit is located approx. 4kms from the interpreted margin of the granites. Yellow stars represent approximate location of initial phase of RC drilling.

Forrestania Gold (Hannans 20% Free-Carried)

Hannans joint venture partner Classic Minerals Ltd has recently completed a significant amount of drilling and is preparing to upgrade the existing JORC mineral resource for the project.

Figure 4: Hannans owns 20% of the gold rights within the green tenements.

The mineral resource is extracted from an ASX release made by Classic Minerals Ltd (ASX:CLZ) on 12 September 2017. The mineral resource is classified in accordance with JORC, 2012 Edition. The effective date of the mineral resource estimate is 31 December 2016. The mineral resource is reported at 0.5g/t Au cut-off grade. Depletion of the resource from historic open pit mining has been taken into account. Additional technical detail on the Mineral Resource Estimate is contained in the JORC Table 1 attached to announcements by CLZ on 14 March 2017 and 21 March 2017.

Table 1: JORC Table for Forrestania Gold Project

Forrestania (Nickel)

Hannans' Forrestania nickel project is located along strike from world class operating high grade nickel sulphide mines owned by Western Areas Ltd (ASX:WSA). Hannans will focus its resources on exploring for economic lithium deposits at Forrestania and will therefore seek a joint venture partner to share the risks and rewards of exploring this world class nickel sulphide province.

Figure 5: Hannans owns 100% of the nickel rights in the green tenements which are interpreted to cover the western ultramafic unit that hosts the world class Spotted Quoll and Flying Fox operating nickel sulphide mines owned by Western Areas Ltd.
