Sanu Gold Corporation announced the results from further surface sampling at the Company's Bantabaye gold exploration permit in Guinea, West Africa. The Permit, which lies on the western margin of Guinea's prolific Siguiri Basin, is located approximately 50 km1 south of the multi-million ounce Lefa Gold Mine and 80 km north of the multi-million ounce Bankan Gold Project. Target 7: Channel BANT-TR-03 sampled a 40 m long exposure of saprolitized bedrock at 1 m intervals from new exposures at Target 7 created by the construction of drill roads and pads.

The objective of this sampling was to further test the mineralized felsic intrusive intersected by the first phase of reverse circulation ("RC") drilling. This northwest trending channel contains highly sheared, strongly hydrothermally altered and locally brecciated felsic intrusive with quartz veinlet stockworks and boxwork after sulphide. All samples from the channel returned gold values above detection limit, with 11 of 40 samples returning grades above 1.0 g/t Au, including 12.3 g/t Au over 1 m, 4.7 g/t Au over 1 m and 3.6 g/t Au over 1 m, as well as 2.8 g/t Au over 1 m from the sample collected at the westernmost end of the trench.

Channel BANT-TR-03 is located 15 m southeast of trench BANT-TR-01, which returned 1.1 g/t Au over 43 m, including 4.2 g/t Au over 6 m. An additional 5 rock chip grab samples were collected from saprolitized felsic intrusive rock at Target 7 in proximity to BANT-TR-03 and returned values of up to 189.7 g/t Au. These samples were comprised of highly sheared, hydrothermally altered and locally brecciated felsic intrusive with stringers of quartz veinlets and boxwork after sulphide. Gold mineralization at Target 7 is associated with a northwest striking and shallowly southwest dipping felsic intrusive that extends for over 500 m along strike and 150 m in width.

As previously announced, the Company has drilled a total of 1,603 m in 14 RC holes at Target 7. Highlights from this drilling included: 0.91 g/t Au over 9 m, including 1.55 g/t Au over 1 m and 2.11 g/t Au over 2 m (BANT-RC-23), and 0.87 g/t Au over 13 m, including 1.65 g/t Au over 3 m and further downhole 3.47 g/t Au over 1 m (BANT-RC-22). Target 7 is located within a 700 m long area extensively worked by small-scale artisanal miners. Drilling to date at this target has not intersected the high-grade mineralization exploited by artisanal miners and it is interpreted that the relatively shallow drilling completed to date has been exclusively within areas where the high-grade mineralization has been mined out.

Results from BANT TR-01, BANT-TR-03 and rock chip samples, combined with initial drill results from Target 7 confirm the presence of an extensive gold mineralized corridor associated with altered and deformed felsic intrusive rock. Mineralization is open in all directions and ongoing work is focused on delineating targets for the next phase of drilling at Bantabaye.
