VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA - (May 22, 2008) - Hana Mining Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:HMG) is pleased to report it is ramping up drilling activities by adding a RC (Reverse Circulation) drill rig at its sediment-hosted Ghanzi Copper-Silver Project in Botswana, Africa.
The RC drilling is being carried out by Major Drilling (Botswana) (Pty) Ltd. and is testing Zone 6 situated 95 kilometers northwest of Zone 1, which appears to be on the same mineralized Horizon as the previously announced results dated May 08, 2008. Two historical core holes drilled by Anglo American in this area returned 18.7 meters grading 1.70 %Cu with 8.3 g/t Ag and 9.7 meters grading 2.72 %Cu with 7.3 g/t Ag. Lengths reported are true widths.
A currently operating diamond drill rig will continue to focus on Zone 2 along the south limb of the anticline where drilling is being carried out at 200 meter spacing. Efforts will continue to focus on strike continuation on the south limb at Zone 2 as well as targets generated by an ongoing IP and HLEM geophysical surveys.
