Gold Company in West Africa Finds Samples of 13.5 g/t Gold

In a press release put out by the company, Sanu Gold Corp. (SANU:CSE; SNGCF:OTCQB) announced that it has the sample results from its primary project, Bantabaye, in Guinea. According to Sanu, the company's project is located in the mining-friendly Siguiri Basin.

The highlights of the company's report include an average of 4.2 grams per ton (g/t) gold (Au), and 1.1 g/t Au1 (premium gold of a grade suitable for electronics) over 6m and 43m respectively on Target 7. According to the company, the sampling has shown evidence of "sheared and hydrothermally altered felsic volcanics and returned gold mineralization over its entire 43m length, with individual samples returning up to 13.5 g/t over 1m." The press release also stated that "rock chip samples from Target 7 returned grades of up to 25.2 g/t Au."

The company has put a lot of focus on Channel BANT-TR-01, which the press release revealed seems to have a large amount of gold mineralization. According to the press release, out of 43 samples, 13 returned grades over 1.0 g/t of Au. The company stated that one such sample revealed 13.5 g/t Au.

The CEO of Sanu Gold, Martin Pawlitschek, stated that "Initial drilling at Bantabaye earlier this year was successful in intersecting broad zones of near-surface gold mineralization in three of the four target areas tested… The results announced today are extremely encouraging and point to the potential of this extensive, structurally hosted, gold mineralized corridor."

Gold on the Rise

According to Stockhead, gold may be looking at a bullish market for the rest of the year. Stockhead reports that in August, gold prices neared the record breaking US$2000 per ounce that appeared earlier this year in April. According to Jake Klein of Evolution Mining, "I spoke about the correlation between the US debt and the gold price, which over a 50 year period has proven very strong and with the amount of spending that's happening in the Inflation Reduction Act, with that level of inflation, US debt is going higher."

Very Nice Looking Haystacks

Gwen Preston spoke to Mark Pawlitschek, the CEO of Sanu Gold, at the Metals Investor Forum in Toronto. Preston remarked that Pawlitschek has "a fair bit of experience in West Africa," and went on to say that the company is looking to accomplish 25,000m of drilling based on previously collected data, and that they "needed to get a better sense of where the needles are in these very nice looking haystacks."

Sanu Gold reports that it has a number of catalysts on the horizon, including drilling at Bantabaye and Daina, and a second tranche of ownership on Bantabaye, Daina, and Diguifara, where the company expects to increase its ownership of each permit from 51% to 75% in the late summer and early fall of 2023.
