Sanu Gold Announces a New Target at Salat East on Daina Project
Sanu Gold (CSE: SANU) (OTCQB: SNGCF) has identified a new gold target called Salat East in the south-eastern corner of its Daina project in Guinea's Siguiri Basin. The target features extensive artisanal workings spanning a 500-meter trend with structures ranging from 5 to 8 meters in width. The company plans to evaluate the target through rock chip sampling, geological mapping, and geophysics before potential drilling. Additionally, Sanu Gold is preparing to commence a 2,000-meter, 19-hole drilling program at the Diguifara Permit in collaboration with AngloGold Ashanti plc.

- Discovery of new gold target with significant 500m mineralized structure
- Artisanal mining activity indicates potential high-value mineralization
- Imminent commencement of 2,000m drilling program at Diguifara
- None.
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - October 29, 2024) - Sanu Gold Corporation (CSE: SANU) (OTCQB: SNGCF) ("Sanu Gold" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that recent field investigation has delineated a highly prospective gold target in the south-eastern corner of the Daina project named Salat East. This new target is so far marked by new and extensive artisanal workings spanning a trend of 500 m and growing. The Daina project is located in prolific gold district of the Siguiri Basin in Guinea, West Africa.
Compelling New Target: The Salat East target is considered a significant new prospect market by new, extensive, and growing artisanal workings where significant excavations into mineralized bedrock only started within the last year.
Significant Footprint: Artisanal miners have begun extracting mineralized material along a 500 m northeast trending line of workings from a structure ranging from 5 to 8 m in width and dipping to the west, thus representing a target with possible significant gold ounce potential.
Target Development: The company is planning to evaluate the Salat East target with rock chip sampling, geological mapping and geophysics prior to possible drilling.
Drilling at Diguifara Imminent: The company is in the final stages of mobilizing equipment to the Diguifara Permit the immediate commencement of a 2,000 m, 19-hole program, informed through the joint technical committee with AngloGold Ashanti plc.
Martin Pawlitschek, President, and CEO of Sanu Gold commented: "We are excited to have defined a new target on the Daina permit. It is a remarkably persistent structure that has been opened by artisanal miners underneath a 3 to 6m thick layer of laterite. Such dedicated work to stripping essentially barren overburden to get at the structure is suggestive of high value mineralized material. The Company will further evaluate the target with mapping, rock chip sampling and geophysics, prior to making a drill decision."
Operations Update and Salat East:
With drill preparations well underway at the Diguifara project, geologists have also been active on the Daina permit, where the next phase of drilling will be planned soon. Reviewing available, updated satellite imagery showed a significant increase in the footprints of artisanal workings. A Salat East a particularly extensive series of open pits was noted on the imagery field traverses were undertaken to further investigate this area in the SE of the Daina project (Figure 1). The traverses investigated a 500m long line of pits that is visible on the most recent available satellite imagery (Figure 2). The previous, older satellite imagery only showed extensive shallow surface disturbances in the area. This progression to a well-structured line of pit indicates that the artisanal miners were exposing a new gold bearing structure in the bed rock (Figure 3).
Most the mineralisation near surface has been removed, flooded and waste filled or collapsed workings are currently preventing access to the main zones of mineralisation. Estimates of voids created show that the zone mined is consistently 4 to 8m thick and steeply west dipping. The host rock observed consists entirely of weathered granite. Remnant near surface mineralisation is currently being mined in the hanging wall of the flooded main workings. Where observed the mineralisation consists of sets of steep dipping, subparallel quartz veinlets ranging from a few millimeters to 1-2 centimeters in thickness hosted in weathered granite. Rock chips sampling, mapping and ground geophysics will be considered to further evaluate this area.
From the exposures created by the artisanal miners it is evident that the laterite cap in the area is up to 6m thick and was initially explored by sinking vertical shafts to the base of the laterite. There are some stopes that are sub horizontal which likely exploited a paleo-colluvial layer of gold above the main structure from these horizontal workings the artisanal miners then located and exploited the steep dipping structures in the bedrock, prior to the stripping the significant overburden to more fully exploit the main structure. All along the trend evidence of steep west dipping excavations in the granite provide indications of a steep west dipping main structure underneath the laterite cap and colluvial dispersion layer.
Update on Diguifara drilling program:
Access preparations at Diguifara are near complete and a multipurpose drill rig from the Company's second largest strategic investor, Capital, is currently mobilising to our Diguifara project (Figure 5). The Company will provide an update when drilling operations have commenced.
Next Steps at Salat East:
The Company plans to complete mapping, rock sampling and ground geophysics over the area and then to evaluate this area as a drill target.
