VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA- (May 29, 2008) - Hana Mining Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:HMG) is pleased to report results from 4 new core holes completed as part of its ongoing 10,000 meter diamond drilling program at its sediment-hosted Ghanzi Copper-Silver Project in Botswana. All of the reported holes, HA-28 to 31-D were drilled at 200 meter spacing and have extended mineralization an additional 800 meters for a total mineralized strike length of 1.1 kilometers at Zone 2.
Company President Peter Wilson states, "We are pleased with these results and they clearly show the continuity and predictability of the mineralized horizon along strike. Currently, we have three drill rigs in three separate areas up to 95 kilometers apart and all are in mineralization. With more than 220 kilometers of unexplored strike length the upside to this project is exceptional."
The intercepts reported are core length and are estimated to be within 80% or more of true width. Drill sections and a 3D model can be viewed at http://www.corebox.net/properties/gh... or by following a link on the Company's website.
Highlights from the four holes include 4.7 meters grading 1.15 %Cu and 10.85 g/t Ag in HA-28-D at a vertical depth of 185 meters and 4.0 meters grading 1.00 %Cu and 13.50 g/t Ag in HA- 30 -D at a vertical depth of 160 meters. In addition to confirming strike continuity, these holes also indicate depth potential along the mineralized horizon. Drilling in this area continues to focus on strike continuity to the southwest as well as sectional drilling to locate higher grade zones. In addition, efforts will focus on strike continuation on the north limb at Zone 1 and the south limb at Zone 2 as well as targets generated by an ongoing IP geophysical survey and targets generated from previous drilling by Anglo American.
