Ireland's footprint on Scottish turf — the story of Hibs
THE problem with a name like Ballingarry is that there are several of them in Ireland, four of which lie in adjacent counties. One of them, in Co. Tipperary, was the site of the 1848 Young Ireland rebellion. Two others, in Tipperary and Limerick, have no claim to fame that I know of. However, a second Ballingarry in Co. Limerick, to the south of Rathkeale and on the road to Charleville, is home to the birthplace of a man who would accomplish great deeds in Scotland rather than in Ireland in the second half of the 19th century. Edward Joseph Hannan was born in 1836 at a farm in the Glen, Ballygrennan townland, to the south of the Famine memorial on the hill of Knockfeirna. It is hoped that later this year, a plaque will be unveiled on the gatepost of the farm, signposting his birthplace. A memorial to him can already be found at the premises of local soccer team Ballingarry AFC. The second son of 11 children born to parents John and Johanna, as an adolescent he would have witnessed the worst excesses of the Great Famine; an experience which may well have convinced him to dedicate his life to the championing of the poor. The parish priest in Ballingarry at the time, Archdeacon Michael Fitzgerald, a disciple of Daniel O'Connell and subsequently agitator for poor relief and land reform, was the main spiritual influence in young Hannan's life. After a basic primary school education close to Ballingarry town, there followed two years at St Munchin's junior seminary in Limerick; and then six years of study at All Hallows College, Drumcondra, Dublin. Bishop Gillis of the Eastern District of Scotland, desperate for priests to administer to the huge Irish influx following the Famine, paid for his education there. Edward Hannan was ordained in 1860 and the following year moved to Edinburgh, where he was to stay till his death 30 years later. The Knockfeirna Famine memorial near Ballingarry quoting local parish priest Archdeacon Michael Fitzgerald (picture Mike Hennessy) He became a curate at St Pat's Church in the Cowgate, nicknamed 'Little Ireland' for good reason. A once thriving and prosperous area of the city, it had been allowed to degenerate as the nobility and gentry who had lived there moved north to more attractive lodgings in the New Town. The empty houses were filled initially by displaced Scottish Highlanders, victims of the Clearances, and then by the waves of Irish immigrants fleeing poverty and starvation at home. Unscrupulous landlords filled the tenements with as many families as possible, with scant regard for human decency, access to light or basic sanitation. Disease was everywhere, and Hannan himself caught typhoid in his first few years after visiting his sick parishioners. Many of his flock had had no education and could scarcely speak English, making them unemployable. And they also faced religious prejudice, given that they were entering the home city of John Knox, the father of the Reformation in Scotland. Ballingarry AFC Memorial Hannan embarked upon a mission to educate the poor and to encourage temperance, clean living and the adoption of family values. One vehicle was the Catholic Young Men's Society (CYMS), a branch of which he opened in 1865. It became the most successful in Scotland within a decade, providing a savings bank, funeral and benefits society, a library, reading rooms, a drama society, a ball court and a large hall for major events such as concerts and, later, political meetings. The more enlightened members of the Protestant establishment were supportive, and Lord Provost William Chambers laid the foundation stone for the new home for the CYMS in St Mary's Street in 1869. The building, known as the Catholic Institute, still stands today. The great hall on the first floor became known as St Mary's Street Hall. And it was there that Father Hannan announced, on 6th August 1875, the launch of a football (soccer) club by some young members of the Society, who had been excluded from playing for other local clubs on the basis of their nationality and their religion. That club was named Hibernian Football Club, its badge the harp and its motto Erin go Bragh (Ireland Forever). Hibernian FC celebrates 150 years since its birth this year. Canon Hannan is remembered each year with a commemorative Mass at St Pat's and a service at the Grange cemetery on or around his birthday (21st June) or his passing (24th June). He is also remembered in his only biography, Edinburgh's First Hibernian , published by Thirsty Books and due for release on 6th August. Despite some early resistance from the Scottish and Edinburgh football authorities, Hibs, as they became known, very quickly became the dominant club in the East of Scotland, and in 1887, the first club from there to win the Scottish Cup. Proceeds from matches were donated to charities of all religions. But storm clouds were gathering, and a combination of losing half their team to the newly formed Glasgow Celtic in 1888, and the loss of their ground when it became more valuable to developers than it was as a football ground, resulted in the club stopping playing for nearly 18 months just before Hannan's death in 1891. Hibs' temporary hibernation may also have resulted from its committee men, including to some extent Hannan himself, taking their eye off the ball and becoming more interested in supporting Charles Stuart Parnell's Home Rule movement than the fortunes of their football club. Many of these men were active members of the Irish National League until it split following the public outrage at Parnell's relationship with Kitty O'Shea. The club returned to its competitive best in the following decade and once again won the Scottish Cup in 1902 and the Scottish League for the first time in season 1902–03. By this time, it had secured a new ground some 200 yards further along Albion Road from the previous one, and that remains the home of the club to this day. There have, of course, been many improvements and redevelopments over the years, including the building of modern stands and the levelling of the pitch, which was once notorious for its slope. On the pitch, the club had a couple of purple patches. Between 1948 and 1952 they won the Scottish League three times with a forward line which can claim to be Scotland's best ever, the Famous Five. And in the late 1960s and early 1970s, a team which became known as Turnbull's Tornadoes after their manager Eddie Turnbull, was denied major honours only because it coincided with the emergence of Jock Stein's Celtic, at one point the best in Europe if not the world. It was during this period, on New Year's Day 1973, that Hibs won the derby match away to Edinburgh rivals Hearts, by 0–7. The Scottish Cup eluded them for more than a century; a 'curse' having been placed on the club when a harp was removed from the stands. It was replaced in 2016, and within months, Hibs had beaten Rangers 3–2 to bring the cup back to their home grounds at Easter Road. Hibs will celebrate these events and many more from its 150 years in the next 12 months. The programme will start with an exhibition for fans in St Mary's Street Hall on August 6th, showcasing the club's history with memorabilia and artefacts. There will be further exhibitions, celebratory dinners, presentations and dedications throughout the year. All of which you can keep up to date with via Despite the club's name (Latin for Ireland), Hibs' Irish credentials have sometimes been questioned. There have been periods when the club has sought to distance itself from its roots, but the club's badge—with its green and white colours, the harp beside Edinburgh Castle and emblem of the port of Leith—pays tribute to the blending of the best of Ireland and Scotland, as Canon Hannan would have wished all those years ago. Edinburgh's First Hibernian is available from August 6 from: The book is illustrated and contains over 500 of them footnotes, referencing to an extensive range of sources. It debunks a number of myths about the founding of the club, with supporting evidence. For more information on Hibs fixtures See More: Edinburgh, Hibs, Irish Community In Scotland, Scottish Football

So, Daniel Hannan… have any of your post-Brexit Britain predictions come true?
Did you enjoy the fireworks last night? The ones marking our annual Independence Day celebration? You missed them? That is a shame. Allow me to bring you up to date with some other things you may have missed. The fireworks were advertised by Daniel Hannan, then a Conservative member of the European parliament, now a Tory peer, in an article he wrote two days before the EU referendum. It began: 'It's 24 June 2025, and Britain is marking its annual Independence Day celebration. As the fireworks stream through the summer sky, still not quite dark, we wonder why it took us so long to leave.' I don't know why he chose a date nine years into the future. Perhaps the 10th anniversary of the Brexit vote would have been too decimal and therefore too continental. But the article was an almost religious vision of the utopia that would greet us by… yesterday. 'The United Kingdom is now the region's foremost knowledge-based economy,' Hannan wrote. 'New industries, from 3D printing to driverless cars, have sprung up around the country.' Leaving the EU had been straightforward. 'The last thing most EU leaders wanted, once the shock had worn off, was a protracted argument with the United Kingdom which, on the day it left, became their single biggest market. Terms were agreed easily enough,' he wrote. Three years of parliamentary deadlock, meaningful votes, Supreme Court rulings, a Tory leadership crisis and two general elections – but perhaps he meant it would be undemanding to be on the EU side of the negotiations. 'In many areas, whether because of economies of scale or because rules were largely set at global level, the UK and the EU continued to adopt the same technical standards,' Hannan said, in a prediction echoing his much-mocked comment during the referendum campaign: 'Absolutely nobody is talking about threatening our place in the single market… ' His vision of a post-Brexit land of milk, honey and booming financial services was one in which the legal reality of the single market was irrelevant. No wonder he admitted in 2022: 'Staying in the single market, or large parts of it, would have saved us a lot of trouble.' However, he foresaw no trouble on the eve of the Brexit vote, as he became carried away with his dream of a better future: ' Shale oil and gas came on tap, almost providentially, just as the North Sea reserves were depleting… In consequence, our fuel bills have tumbled, boosting productivity, increasing household incomes and stimulating the entire economy.' On and on it went: 'Opting out of the EU's data protection rules has turned Hoxton into the software capital of the world … The UK has again become a centre for world shipping … Fishing ports such as Hull and Grimsby – which both backed an exit from the union – become pharma hubs… Our universities are flourishing … The number of student visas granted each year is decided by MPs who, now that they no longer need to worry about unlimited EU migration, can afford to take a long-term view. Parliament sets the number of work permits, the number of refugee places and the terms of family reunification.' To be fair to Lord Hannan, no one could have predicted what a mess Boris Johnson would make of the 'points-based immigration system'. So attractive is the Shangri-La of life outside the EU that three other countries have followed us to freedom, Hannan wrote: Denmark, Ireland and the Netherlands. The final paragraph is the sort of thing a skilled satirist would write today about the innocent hopes of the most naive kind of Brexiteer, knowing everything that had happened since: 'Perhaps the greatest benefit, though, is not easy to quantify. Britain has recovered its self-belief. As we left the EU, we straightened our backs, looked about us, and realised that we were still a nation to be reckoned with … We saw that there were great opportunities across the oceans, beyond the enervated eurozone. We knew that our song had not yet been sung.' Well, it has been sung now, and it turned out to be the discordant thrash metal of failure. As someone whose job it is to make predictions about the future, I almost feel sorry for Baron Hannan of Kingsclere, who, apart from his attempt to justify his comment about the single market, has kept fairly quiet about his rosy vision of post-Brexit Britain. He is like a preacher who promised the Rapture on a certain date and then has to explain to his disbelieving followers why it hasn't happened. As sometimes happens with end-of-the-world cults, the followers refuse to adjust their beliefs to the failure of the prediction. Sometimes they turn to rival preachers, who explain that the promise of deliverance was executed in the wrong way. Hence Nigel Farage and his claim that real Brexit has never been tried. Still, they will always have Hannan's words to remind us of what could have been.

Hannan Indentifies Two New Zones of Gold Mineralization at Previsto and Expands the Footprint to 650 Metres Strike
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - June 3, 2025) - Hannan Metals Limited's (TSXV: HAN) (OTC Pink: HANNF) ("Hannan" or the "Company") is pleased to report recent mapping and channel sampling has significantly expanded the alkalic-type epithermal gold mineralization at Previsto by approximately 150 m to 200 m to 650 m of total strike length with multiple high-grade results. The mineralization, which remains open along strike, sits at the northern edge of a 4 km by 4 km soil gold anomaly (>0.1 g/t Au). These results, featuring both high-grade structures and broader mineralized zones, suggest similarities to globally significant alkalic epithermal gold deposits. Key Highlights: Coherent gold mineralization now extends over 650 m of strike length and up to 100 m width within a 4 km × 4 km gold-in-soil anomaly within the Previsto Alkalic Intrusive Complex (Figure 2). Zone extension of approximately 150 m to 200 m southward from the original area through identification of the "Southern Zone" (Figure 3) with 8 panel samples averaging 0.3 g/t Au and 3 g/t Ag. New parallel structures identified 80 m west (Western Zone, Figure 4) of original high-grade zone within the expanded zone, including: 21 m @ 0.46 g/t Au, 5.2 g/t Ag, including 3 m @ 1.87 g/t Au, 8.85 g/t Ag 21 m @ 0.26 g/t Au, 5.8 g/t Ag Individual high-grade veins up to 1.27 g/t Au, 17.6 g/t Ag Exceptional high-grade results from the central high-grade 100 m × 50 m area (previously reported) intersections include: 135.2 m @ 1.3 g/t Au, 9 g/t Ag, including: 3.0 m @ 12.7 g/t Au, 49 g/t Ag and 3.0 m @ 11.2 g/t Au, 53 g/t Ag 11.3 m @ 3.7 g/t Au, 18 g/t Ag including 1.7 m @ 23.4 g/t Au 2.3 m @ 18.8 g/t Au and 66 g/t Ag Maiden Drilling Program Continues at Belen: First-ever drilling commenced at Vista Alegre, with drill hole HDDVA001 completed at 184.6 m (Figures 3 to 5). Up to 5,000 m of diamond drilling across 18 holes, targeting three distinct mineral systems, are planned for Belen. Michael Hudson, CEO, states: "The expanded high-grade gold mineralization represents a significant milestone in our exploration of the Previsto project. Finding gold mineralization in bedrock over a 650 m strike builds substantial confidence in the scale of the system. We have identified multiple high-grade vein sets that demonstrate the exceptional potential of this area. What's particularly encouraging is the presence of these robust gold structures within broader halos of moderate-grade mineralization — a hallmark of globally significant alkalic epithermal systems. "Our field teams continue to expand the Previsto Central with each month of work, revealing new mineralized zones and extending known structures. We've scheduled more detailed sampling programs specifically designed to better define these high-grade structures within the broader envelope of gold mineralization. The combination of scale, grade, and geological setting at Previsto makes this one of the most exciting projects in Hannan's portfolio, and we look forward to advancing this promising target toward drill testing. "And not to be forgotten, drilling at Belen is now underway with our inaugural 5,000 m program across 18 diamond drill holes targeting three priority areas. At Vista Alegre, our first hole HDDVA001 has been completed at 184.6 m, testing a 600 m by 500 m high chargeability zone that coincides with strong gold-in-soil anomalies and surface mineralization grading up to 2.7 g/t Au and 44 g/t Ag. This represents the start of systematic drill testing across our 2.4 km long geophysical anomaly. Drillhole HDDVA002 is now underway. "Following Vista Alegre, we'll advance to Sortilegio's 1.2 km long alkalic porphyry system and then Ricardo Herrera's substantial 1,000 m by 250 m chargeability anomaly with outcropping porphyry-style copper-gold mineralization. With first assay results expected in July 2025, we're simultaneously advancing multiple significant scale targets across the emerging Valiente 150 km mineral belt where we hold first mover advantage. The combination of active drilling at Belen and the expanding Previsto project positions Hannan at an inflection point in demonstrating the true potential of Valiente." Technical Discussion Previsto Central Gold Mineralization Style Gold mineralization is hosted within a brecciated, calcareous K-feldspar porphyry of syenitic protolith, which locally contains large xenoliths of sedimentary rocks. The mineralization displays several key features: High-grade gold zones are associated with pervasive fine roscoelite (vanadium-rich potassic mica) and fine grey quartz veining with pyrite, occurring as both veinlets and stockwork. Alteration assemblages include manganese oxides replacing vein and breccia fill, suggesting that unweathered mineralization contained rhodochrosite, a manganese carbonate mineral typically found in low-sulfidation epithermal systems. Primary mineralization consists of 1% disseminated pyrite with trace chalcopyrite, pyrite veinlets, roscoelite veinlets, and fine jarosite veinlets (likely after pyrite). Preservation indicators include a 1.3 m wide zone containing crystal-lined irregular cavities, suggesting minimal erosion of the intrusive body and potential preservation of the complete epithermal system. The current structural interpretation suggests gold deposition was focused along late strike-slip faults where horizontal movement created extensional structures within a compressional regime (highlighted in Figure 4). Gold mineralization at Previsto Central occurs in four distinct settings High-Grade Vein Zones: Gold-rich roscoelite-adularia veins have been mapped over a 100 m × 50 m area within broader gold-anomalous rocks (>0.1 g/t Au). Initial mapping reveals a "Z"-shaped vein system indicative of dextral strike-slip movement. Peak gold grades occur in veins composed of dark green, fine-grained roscoelite and granular adularia, with both vertical and horizontal orientations documented. Moderate-Grade Stockwork Zones: Adularia/pyrite stockworks with brittle crackle textures typically yield assays of 0.1 to 1.0 g/t gold. Silver-Dominant Peripheral Zones: Distal portions of the system are characterized by silver-enriched quartz/adularia stockwork veins with <0.1 g/t gold. Copper-Enriched Zones: Distinct copper mineralization has been identified separate from the gold-mineralized channels, suggesting a metal zonation pattern. Gold-silver-tellurium mineralization predominates in upper elevations, while copper mineralization concentrates at lower elevations, consistent with a classic porphyry-epithermal transition. Emerging Clustered Epithermal - Porphyry Copper-Gold System Previsto represents both an extensive alkalic-type epithermal gold system and an emerging copper-gold porphyry district. Beyond the high-grade gold channels reported in this release, Hannan has defined a 4 km × 4 km gold-in-soil anomaly associated with two additional significant mineralized zones: 1. Porphyry Copper Zone: Located 1.3 km northwest of the gold mineralization, extensive channel sampling has identified consistent copper mineralization despite significant weathering and leaching, suggesting potential for higher grades in unweathered (hypogene) zones. Significant results from 768.7 m of channel sampling include: 48.0 m @ 0.12% Cu (CH15447) 107.0 m @ 0.09% Cu (CH15430) 126.0 m @ 0.22% Cu (CH14555) 192.0 m @ 0.17% Cu (CH15391) 2. Previsto East Target: Situated 2.6 km east of the reported gold mineralization, this 1,800 m × 400 m gold-copper porphyry-epithermal target features strongly anomalous gold in soils (up to 0.6 g/t Au) and mineralized boulders assaying up to 1.9 g/t Au. The spatial relationship between these mineralized zones suggests a district-scale hydrothermal system with classic porphyry-epithermal zoning patterns. This multi-faceted mineralization, spanning several km, is characteristic of major alkalic gold-copper districts globally. Maiden Drilling Program at Belen Belen is located 23 km SW of Previsto Central. The initial phase of drilling at Belen consists of up to 5,000 m across 18 diamond drill holes designed to test the three primary target areas at Belen (Figures 5 to 10): Vista Alegre (First Priority): The first drill holes will test distinct sections of the 2.4 km long geophysical anomaly targeting two zones. HDDVA001, completed at 184.6 m (Figures 3 to 5), targeted the central 600 m long and 500 m deep high chargeability-low resistivity zone coinciding with strong gold-in-soil anomaly (up to 0.12 ppm Au) and gold mineralization in boulders correlating with Au-Ag-Te-As and variable copper (up to 2.72 Au and 44 g/t Ag). Sortilegio (Second Priority): The next phase drilling will investigate the 1.2 km long chargeability anomaly within the alkalic porphyry system. Drillholes will target the source of extensive surface soil copper anomalies coinciding with hydrothermal gold anomalous quartz-gossan boulders with elevated Au-Mo-Te. The chargeability response consists of three alkalic Cu-Au targets identified within the 1.2 km long trend. Ricardo Herrera (Third Priority): The final set of planned drill holes will target the core of the substantial chargeability anomaly that extends over 1,000 m by 250 m with outcropping porphyry-style copper-gold mineralization showing moderate to strong phyllic alteration, with drill pads positioned strategically to test the lateral extent of the mineralized system. The drilling program is expected to take approximately 6 months to complete, with first assay results anticipated in July 2025. Hannan Metals is committed to legal compliance, community respect, and environmental stewardship, emphasizing that all operations only proceed with proper authorization from local populations and with required environmental and archaeological certifications. Key Characteristics of Alkalic Gold Systems The gold mineralization at Previsto displays classic characteristics of alkalic-type epithermal gold systems, which are globally recognized for forming significant high-grade deposits. Notable examples include: Porgera (Papua New Guinea): Regarded as one of the world's top ten producing gold mines with historic production of 16 million ounces of gold and almost 3 million ounces of silver. Cripple Creek (Colorado): Colorado's most prolific gold district with historic production exceeding 23 million ounces of gold. Alkalic gold deposits occur in diverse geological settings but typically form in localized extensional regimes associated with alkaline intrusive rocks. These systems are characterized by: Spatial association with high-K calc-alkaline to alkaline igneous rocks, commonly as diatremes or intrusive complexes. Distinctive geochemical signature with enrichment in Ag, V, Te, Fe, F, K, Ba, and Mo, and typically elevated Au:Ag ratios. Complex structural controls featuring multiple mineralizing events. Extensive vertical continuity that can exceed 1,000bm (as demonstrated at Cripple Creek and Porgera). Diagnostic alteration assemblages including carbonate minerals and roscoelite (vanadium-rich mica). About the Valiente Project The 100% owned Valiente project is in central eastern Peru, east of the city of Tingo Maria (Figures 1 and 2). The area is characterized by steep topography on the eastern flank of the Central Cordillera with elevations between 800 m and 2,000 m above sea level (a.s.l.). The project was found in 2021 during an extensive greenfields prospecting program initiated by Hannan for back-arc porphyry copper-gold systems. The Company has been actively prospecting on the project since 2021 and has successfully gained social permits progressively in all areas of interest. During 2021 Hannan staked and still holds 1,002 km2 of 100% owned mining concessions at Valiente covering unexplored terrain for potential mineralized porphyry targets in central eastern Peru. The Valiente Project has rapidly evolved from a greenfields prospect to a multi-prospect opportunity. Early surface prospecting identified two outcropping copper-gold porphyry targets and one epithermal target at Belen (see Press Release Feb 16, 2023). Porphyry areas quickly followed at Serrano Norte, Serrano and Pucacunga. The focus more recently has been on Previsto. At Previsto and Belen, a district-scale porphyry cluster within an area of 25 km by 10 km, with eight porphyry and/or epithermal targets now identified in more detail with up to 10 earlier stage targets awaiting further work. The Company is executing a multi-year strategy to systematically explore and drill test its extensive land package in this emerging Miocene-aged linked porphyry-epithermal mineral belt. Technical Background All samples were collected by Hannan geologists. Samples were transported to ALS in Lima via third party services using trackable parcels and by company staff. At the laboratory, rock samples were prepared and analyzed by standard methods. The sample preparation involved crushing 70% to less than 2 mm, riffle split off 250g, pulverize split to better than 85% passing 75 microns. Samples were analyzed by method ME-MS61, a four-acid digest performed on 0.25g of the sample to quantitatively dissolve most geological materials. Analysis is via ICP-MS. Gold was analyzed in rock and soils by ALS in Lima using a standard sample preparation and 30g fire assay sample charge. Soil samples were analyzed by a portable XRF (VANTA-VMR) using an inhouse protocol which includes routine use of CRM and field duplicates as well as 10% check samples analyzed by ALS Lima. Channel samples are considered representative of the in-situ mineralization samples. At this stage true widths of mineralization are not known. Grab or panel samples are selective by nature and are unlikely to represent average grades on the property.
