Hannan Metals flagship is the Previsto copper-gold target inside the larger Valiente project in the high jungle of central Peru’s eastern cordillera, an alkaline epithermal-porphyry system they staked themselves back in 2021 and still haven’t drilled.

We talked about why they’re running two jurisdictions at once, the Peruvian permitting timeline, the Swedish drill program and assay timing, and money.
