Hanover Gold Acquires the La Tranca Prospect in Chile

VERADALE, Wash., Oct 19, 1999 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Hobart Teneff,
president and CEO of Hanover Gold Co. Inc. (OTCBB: HVGO), announced
today that the company has signed an agreement with Socidad Legal
Minera Tranca for the purchase of the La Tranca silver/gold prospect
located in the precious metal rich northern Maricunga belt of Chile.

La Tranca is characterized by eight to ten (8-10) mineralized
northeast-trending silicified and brecciated structures, 30-200 feet
wide and up to 2,000 feet long. The host rocks are stratified Miocene
dacite-andesite volcanic rocks overlain to the east by post-mineral
ignimbrite sheets that cover high potential areas. Initial surface
sampling indicates 8+ opt silver values over 25+ foot widths on several
structures. The color anomaly covers an area two miles long by one mile
wide.

The La Tranca prospect is located 140 miles northeast of Copiapo and 37
miles northeast of Placer Dome's La Coipa operation. The La Coipa
operation is currently a world leader in the production of silver (60
m.t. of 0.045 opt gold and 2.2 opt silver). The high grade (+10 opt.
Ag) Chimberos deposit of the La Coipa operation lies 15 miles west of
the La Tranca prospect.
