Hansa Resources Ltd. (“Hansa” or the “Company”) (TSXV-HRL) provides this update to the Company’s news release of March 20, 2018 announcing the Company’s option agreement with Poseidon Offshore Minerals Inc. (“Poseidon”) for the grant to the Company of an option to earn an interest in an offshore mineral reconnaissance license (the “License”) to explore for gold, diamond, heavy minerals and aggregate in an area of 20,000 km2 on the continental shelf of Ghana.
The Company has received and provides an update on the status of the License. On January 22, 2018 the
Ghana Minerals Commission (the “Commission”) recommended that the Minister approve Poseidon’s
application for the License. On January 30, 2018 the Minister of Lands and Natural Resources of Ghana
approved the recommendation of the Commission to grant the application.
Following the above approvals, and due to the unique nature of the License application, the Commission
initiated a process whereby all relevant government agencies and interested parties were provided an
opportunity to meet with Poseidon to discuss any matters of relevance to the License application, which
was followed by a written approval process. This process is continuing and Poseidon expects it to be
successfully concluded in the coming weeks.
The license fee of US$100,000 was advanced by the Company and paid to the Government of Ghana by
Poseidon. Through an amendment to the Option Agreement, this payment has been credited to reduce the
Company’s first year option payments.
