Sanu Gold Corporation announced the successful completion of the inaugural drill program (the "Program") on the Company's Bantabaye gold exploration permit ("Bantabaye" or the "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 once Lefa Gold Mine and 80 km north of the multi-million ounce Bankan Gold Project. In this first round of drilling at Bantabaye, Sanu conducted a preliminary test on four of ten high-priority target areas, focusing on several zones along a multi-kilometre long mineralized fault system crossing the northern block of the permit.

The intersected broad zones of near-surface gold mineralization in three of the four target areas tested, including a high-grade discovery at Target 2, which is open in all directions. A grade of 11.4 g/t Au over 15 m from the first fence of holes ever drilled at Bantabaye is a spectacular result and the look forward to continuing to test and expand this exciting discovery. Program Highlights: Phase One drilling at Bantabaye included 3,198 m1 in 28 RC1 drill holes at four target areas, with results from the final six holes reported herein., Target 2 high-grade gold discovery: 11.4 g/t gold discovery: 11.

4 g/t Au1 over 15 m, including 41.2 g/t Au over 4 m; this discovery is open in all directions., Targets 3 and 7: broad intervals of gold mineralization intersected at both target areas., Gold mineralization at Targets 2, 3 and 7 intersected over a 1.5 km extent of the 4 km long Tinkisso Fault, a key locus for mineralization in this large, structurally-hosted gold system., Excellent potential for additional mineralization between and along strike from Targets 2, 3 and7., Strong similarities between the geology and alteration at Bantabaye and recent major gold discoveries in the region. Gold mineralization at Bantabaye is closely associated with secondary structures, including the Tinkisso Fault, adjacent to the Bantabaye Thrust Fault. The Company has traced mineralization approximately 1.5 km eastward along this trend from the Target 2 discovery to Targets 3 and 7. The mineralization is hosted in a felsic intrusive unit and with secondary structures along the Tinkisso Fault and a splay where the Tinkisso Fault converges with the Bantabaye thrust Fault.

This is a major fault system in the northern portion of the Permit, with the Bantabaye Fault extending over a 6 km extent and the secondary Tinkisso Fault extending over 4 km. The Program has tested approximately 1.5 km of the Tinkisso fault, with the remaining 2.5 km untested. Target 2. A total of 626 m was drilled in six RC holes on two 50 m spaced lines at Target 2, with the objective of testing the downdip extension of high grade gold in rock chip samples collected from artisanal workings.

Gold mineralization at Target 2 is associated with a strongly silicified and hydrothermally altered felsic intrusive at the sheared contact with a foliated mafic unit. The altered felsic intrusive contains quartz vein stockwork and breccia, along with pervasive disseminated pyrite and arsenopyrite. Key alteration associated with the gold mineralization is silicification and associated pyrite.
