All seven first holes found gold. Hannan is drilling again in Sweden.
Hannan Metals (TSXV: HAN) has restarted drilling at its Stavaträsk gold project in Sweden, following successful initial results. The second program aims to test extensions of previously discovered gold mineralization and new targets identified by an IP survey. The maiden drilling intersected gold in all seven holes, including high-grade intervals. The company expects to complete the second program in October 2026, with assays to follow.
How this was made

Market read
Primary disclosure of a new drilling program for a junior miner; limited immediate market impact but may influence sector sentiment.
What to watch
Potential for larger resource estimate if IP survey leads to significant extensions; financing needs not discussed.
