Hansa Update: IP Survey Commences at Storkullen, Sweden

Hansa Resources Ltd. ("Hansa") (TSX VENTURE:HRL)(FRANKFURT:3F2). Mr Jeff Gale,
President, is pleased to announce commencement of an induced polarization (IP)
survey has commenced at the Storkullen zinc - gold project in central Sweden.


Storkullen is located in the Jamtland province, approximately 360 kilometres
northwest of Stockholm. The exposed bedrock includes a 2.5 metre wide interval
of high grade zinc-rich massive sulphide adjacent to a pyritic and siliceous
felsic gneiss. The northeastern contact of the zinc-rich massive sulphide is
exposed in the outcrop, where it lies adjacent to the siliceous gneiss. In
addition to the very high zinc grades, high grade gold was analysed from the
siliceous gneiss, emphasizing the precious metal potential of the mineralized
outcrop and surrounding claims. The massive sulphide mineralization is open on
the southwestern, northwestern and southeastern contacts, where mineralization
passes under thin soil cover.


The IP survey is being undertaken by Geonova Consulting AB using a time domain
system and a 50m dipole - dipole array. The survey will centre on the discovery
outcrop found by Harriet Svensson and Siv Wiik during the 2007 Mineral Hunt and
covers approximately 1000m along strike for 10 line kilometers. It is being
conducted to test the strike and depth extent of any sulphide mineralization and
to help define drill targets for this autumns drill program.


Mr Gale states, "We are hoping this geophysical survey will define the geometry
and extent of any mineralization system around the discovery outcrop at the
Storkullen prospect. We are pleased to have the survey commencing so shortly
after the signing of the agreement and we are looking forward to having results
available soon to apply the knowledge to the rest of our large land holding in
this highly prospective and untested region."
