Hana Mining Grants Incentive Stock Options
Hana Mining Grants Incentive Stock Options
Vancouver, BC – July 25, 2011 – Hana Mining Ltd. (TSX-V: HMG) (Frankfurt – 4LH) (the “Company”) announces that it has granted Incentive Stock Options (the “Options”) to purchase up to an aggregate 2,650,000 common shares of the Company to directors, officers, employees and consultants. The Options are exercisable at $2.54 per share and expire on July 22, 2016. All securities issued upon exercise of the Options are subject to a hold period expiring four (4) months after the date of grant. The subject Options will vest over 24 months, in 8 equal tranches, with the first tranche vesting on the date of grant and thereafter at the end of every successive quarterly period. The Options are subject to the terms and conditions of the Company’s Stock Option Plan.
Hana Mining's CEO and Chairman, Marek Kreczmer, commented as follows:
“Recently the Company announced the appointments of new members to its board of directors. These new board members, who are pillars of the mining industry with considerable experience and technical capabilities, have in their brief time on the Company’s board, devoted considerable time and effort in providing guidance and direction to the Company. Therefore, we think it was appropriate to compensate our new board members in a way that aligns their goals with that of the Company’s shareholders.”
About Hana Mining's Ghanzi Copper-Silver Project in Botswana:
The Ghanzi Project is located in the center of the Kalahari Copper Belt in northwestern Botswana. The Ghanzi property covers 2,149 square kilometres, and contains sediment-hosted copper-silver deposits with a demonstrated cumulative tested strike length of 70 kilometres. This favorable geology extends over an estimated strike length of 600 kilometres. Hana Mining released results of its most recent NI 43-101 compliant resource estimate for the Ghanzi Project on December 20, 2010, announcing an Indicated mineral resource of 762 million pounds of copper and 16 million ounces of silver from 37.4 million tonnes at a grade of 0.93% copper and 13.4 g/t silver. All of the Indicated resources are from the Banana Zone. There are also Inferred resources of 5.6 billion pounds of copper and 85.4 million ounces of silver from 423.9 million tonnes. This Inferred mineral resource estimate consists of 225.4 million tonnes grading 0.64% Cu and 8.1 g/t Ag in the Banana Zone, 20.7 million tonnes grading 1.23% Cu and 8.7 g/t Ag in Zone 5, 16.7 million tonnes grading 0.86% Cu and 4.0 g/t Ag in Zone 6, and 161.1 million tonnes grading 0.45% Cu and 3.6 g/t Ag in the Chalcocite Zone; all at a cut-off grade of 0.30% Cu.
The Banana Zone exhibits certain areas of higher grade Cu and Ag mineralization, particularly between sections 49700 to 52000 on the North limb and sections 63000 to 71000 on both the North and South limbs, which represent an opportunity to locate starter pits and mine initial tonnages at higher than average grades. These higher grade pockets tend to be well within open pit depth parameters and represent opportunities to improve early cash flow and overall returns in development.
The project will benefit from proposed rail and power infrastructure expansions, along with proximity to local population centers and workforce. A feasibility study is currently underway (funded by the World Bank and the governments of Botswana and Namibia) to support completion of a rail line link that would connect Botswana with the Namibian port of Walvis Bay, on the Atlantic coast. The closest existing railhead to port is at Gobabis, in Namibia, approximately 550 km from our property. Construction has begun on the 600MW expansion of the government-owned Moropule Power Plant, having secured US$825 million project funding in May 2009. The Ghanzi Copper- Silver Project is currently accessed by the paved Trans-Kalahari highway, which passes within 15 km of the property.
The Ghanzi property is one of Africa's premier future copper-silver resources.
