Hansa Acquires Mavoio-Tetelo-Bembe Copper Project in Angola

HANSA RESOURCES LIMITED ("Hansa") (TSX VENTURE:HRL)(FRANKFURT:3F2) - Mr Jeff
Gale, President & CEO, announces that the Company has signed a Memorandum of
Understanding ("MOU") with Angolans Petroleum Services S.A.R.L. ("APServices")
to acquire 70% of the 9,684.5 square kilometre Mavoio-Tetelo-Bembe exploration
permit in the Uige Province of Northern Angola. The Mavoio-Tetelo-Bembe permit
is elongate in a NNE-SSW trend between the "Maquela do Zombo" and "Bembe"
villages near the border between Angola and the Democratic Republic of Congo.


The exploration permit includes the historic Mavoio Copper Mine, the Tetelo and
Bembe copper deposits and numerous other lesser deposits and occurrences. Strong
exploration potential exists away from the known deposits within the 200
kilometre by 50 kilometre exploration permit area.


To date, the Company has been successful in identifying and collecting adequate
historic information from the Tetelo deposit. Further data is being sought from
the remainder of the permit area. At Tetelo, stratiform metasomatic copper
mineralization lies adjacent to a regional fault system, similar in style to the
Copper Belt of the Democratic Republic of Congo. Mineralization is hosted
principally by dolomites, clayey marls and dolomitic sandstones. Four main
copper mineralized lenses are known within a 50-120 m thick sequence, dipping
shallowly to the north and east at depths between 200 to 300 metres.
Mineralization consists primarily of chalcocite with minor native copper and
copper carbonates, in a hematite-goethite or pyrite-arsenopyrite matrix.


Dimensions of copper mineralization defined by historic drilling at Tetelo are
as follows:




                 Tetelo North    Tetelo South

Length                  730 m           300 m

Width                   128 m           100 m

Thickness
 (average)               32 m            10 m



Significant historic exploration has been completed at Tetelo, including 28
diamond drill holes, underground development consisting of a 920 metre decline
and 136 metre crosscut. The deposit was explored by the Empresa do Cobre de
Angola (ECA) from 1947, then by SIMEIRA (a Japanese/Portuguese Joint Venture) in
1971-1972. Data from this period received by Hansa includes drilling plans,
cross sections with thickness, grade and location of mineralization, plans of
underground development and summary reports of the day. As all original data on
the Tetelo Project has not yet been retrieved, it is appropriate to quote an
exploration target range to indicate the potential scale of the system.


Based on historic drilling, an exploration target has been estimated at Tetelo
on the western side of the controlling fault using a 1.5% copper cut off
between:


6.2 Million Tonnes ("Mt") at 3.1% copper and 12.8 Mt at 3.9% copper

This exploration target includes drillhole M96 which intersected 54.58 metres at
5.30% copper. When the eastern side of the controlling fault is included, the
upper range for the exploration target for the Tetelo project using a 1.5%
copper cut off increases to:


31.3 Mt at 3.8% copper

Silver is known to be present at potentially economic levels within this
exploration target. The exploration target referred to is based on 18 drill
holes and underground development as summarized in the report, "APServices and
Ten Well Resources Inc (2004). Calculo e analise das reservas de cobre e da
viabilidade tecnico-economica da mina de Tetelo. Provincia do Uige" by Ten Well
Resources Inc. dated 2004. The potential quantity and grade is conceptual in
nature and there has been insufficient exploration to define this target at this
time and it is uncertain that further exploration will result in further
discoveries on the property.


Many additional occurrences with copper, lead, zinc, gold, silver, cobalt,
vanadium and manganese are reported within the exploration permit, and include:


- Mavoio - a past open pit and underground copper producer which was
explored/exploited from 1937-1961. The prospect is located 1 kilometre to the
south west of Tetelo and 173,000 tonnes were extracted at approximately 12%
copper, corresponding to 20,800 tonnes of metal;


- Bembe - a past copper producer, located approximately some 130 kilometres
south south west of Tetelo. Some 15,000-20,000 tonnes of ore were extracted;


- Lueca - historic lead, vanadium (copper), manganese mine; 10,600 tonnes of ore
were extracted.


Mr Gale states, "Past exploration at Tetelo has demonstrated sufficient high
grade copper mineralization over a significant area and thickness to suggest a
potential company making project. We look forward to working with our strong
local joint venture partner exploring the potential of Tetelo and Mavoio, and
the highly prospective 9000 square kilometre exploration permit. Our first focus
will be to confirm the exploration target at Tetelo by calculation of a NI43-101
compliant resource from historic data. Angolan government infrastructure
initiatives were highly evident during our site visits. Considerable investment
in road works, railroads, telecommunications, electricity lines & pipelines is
occurring in the region and this impacts positively on the potential of the
project."


Angola remains one of the least explored, mineral-rich countries in Africa.
Angolan authorities have established a mining policy that opens the sector to
private investment. Tax policies have been reformed to encourage private
investment including tax holidays and exemptions from import duties for all
mining equipment and supplies when such materials are not available locally.
Corporate taxation is capped at 35 percent on net profits, while ad valorem
royalty rates on metals is set at 5 percent.


The Mavoio-Tetelo-Bembe Exploration Permit is valid for 3 years from November
2007 and can be extended for an additional 3 years. Under the terms of the MOU
Hansa will carry out a period of due diligence over the next 9 months which will
include the drilling of up to 6 confirmatory drill holes and research of
existing data and documentation with an estimated minimum expenditure of
US$400,000. Once the due diligence period has been completed, Hansa will have
the right to enter a Joint Venture with APServices. The Joint Venture will give
Hansa the right to earn a 70% interest in the Mavoio exploration permit by
completing an in-ground expenditure schedule of US$1 million after Year 1 from
signing the definitive agreement, US$2 million after Year 2, US$3 million after
Year 3 and US$4 million after Year 4 (a total of US$10 million minimum
expenditure over a five year period).

Institute of Mining and Metallurgy. Mr. Carvalho has reviewed and verified the
