[{"type":"text","content":" Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - September 1, 2022) - Sanu Gold Corporation (CSE: SANU) (\"Sanu Gold\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to report the presence of extensive gold anomalies from systematic termite mound sampling at its Bantabaye gold exploration permit (\"Bantabaye\" or the \"Permit\") in Guinea, West Africa. The Permit is located 50 kilometres (\"km\") south of the multi-million ounce Lefa Gold Mine. Highlights 5,460 termite mound samples were collected at Bantabaye, with results defining ten gold anomalies and individual targets extending up to 4 km in strike length, Termite mound sampling returned up to 2.0 grams of gold per tonne (\"g/t Au\"), Gold mineralization is coincident with a thrust fault and shear zone system interpreted from field mapping and available regional imagery. Extensive Gold Anomalies Defined by Systematic Termite Mound Sampling Field mapping and the review of geochemical results from a 5,460 sample termite mound sampling program (\"Sampling\" or the \"Program\") has defined a total of ten gold anomalies, each trending 1 to 3 km in strike length. The Program covered the entire 99.9 square kilometre (\"km2\") Permit with an east-west oriented grid with 200 metre (\"m\") x 50 m to 400 m x 50 m line spacing. Laboratory analysis of samples from the Program returned multiple gold values greater than 0.5 g/t Au (Figure 1). The termite mound gold anomalies are coincident with geological structures identified from field mapping. Results from the Program led to the discovery of a system of east-west oriented anomalous zones spatially associated with a complex system of west- to west-northwest-striking thrust faults and fold structures that deformed metavolcanoclastic rocks intruded by altered felsic and mafic intrusive rocks. Results also show the occurrence of a parallel system of north-northeast- and north-northwest-trending strong gold lineaments associated with a system of north-northeast- and north-northwest-trending strike-slip fault systems, fracturing the sedimentary and volcanoclastic rocks. The gold anomalies align with the regional north-northeast and north-northwest-striking faults and the west- to west-northwest-striking thrust faults that transect the metasediments and metavolcanics visible on regional geological and geophysical maps and images.
