(TSXV: STA) (\"Sanatana\") has successfully started its the 2022 field program at the Oweegee copper-gold (Cu-Au) porphyry project located in BC's Golden Triangle. The 5,000 metre drill program follows a successful month of early season field work and preparations completed in June which position Sanatana for a productive and exciting summer. A recently completed ASTER survey shows concentric anomalies that are associated with porphyries, suggesting that the Molloy zone exploration target may be the centre of a copper-gold porphyry. Jeff Kyba, PGeo, BC Projects Manager for Sanatana, commented, \"The 2022 program is designed to address two questions: 1) how big is the Molloy monzonite? and 2) is there more than one copper-gold porphyry present? The late melt focused our activities within a narrow window of elevation where work is typically hindered by heavy vegetation. Our crew was able to make good use of this time and discovered another showing of a copper-bearing intrusion well beyond mapped extents of the known system which helps Sanatana address the two objectives. Thanks to our field team, contractors and partners for executing a smooth start up and we're looking forward to some drilling results.\" Peter Miles, Sanatana's CEO, noted, \"Months of preparation are paying off as we initiate drilling to better understand Oweegee Dome's mineralization. We have the necessary human resources, equipment and funding to complete an informative program and satisfy our 2022 option obligations.\" Initial drilling will focus on the Molloy Cu-Au bearing monzonite which is situated at the centre of a concentric suite of anomalies including a 400m diameter chargeability halo and nested mineral assemblages identified from ASTER imagery analysis. The Cu-Au bearing monzonite outcrop is central to these anomalies and returned an average of 0.34% Cu + 0.829 g/t Au from fifteen g...
