Sanu Gold is accelerating exploration at the Daina gold project in Guinea’s Siguiri Basin, building on exceptional high-grade gold intercepts from its recent drilling campaign.

The company has initiated a follow-up drilling program encompassing approximately 5,000 meters across 50-60 holes further delineating the promising Daina 2 South discovery and its continuity towards the Daina 2 Main Zone.

The latest drilling activities have already yielded significant results, with all five recently completed holes at the Daina 2 South discovery intersecting high concentrations of quartz veins containing fresh, oxidised, and weathered-out sulfides over extensive lengths. Notably, the previous drilling campaign revealed a standout intercept of meters at 3.11 g/t Aufrom hole DAI-AC-021.

Key highlights from the ongoing drill program at the Daina project include the confirmation of high-grade mineralisation in the Daina 2 Main Zone, with notable intercepts of 15 meters at 5.48 g/t Au, 21 meters at 4.75 g/t Au, and 37 meters at 1.99 g/t Au. Recent trenching results further indicate that gold mineralisation remains open along strike both north and south of the Daina 2 Main Zone, with significant findings such as 15 meters at 1.3 g/t Au located approximately 500 meters south of the main zone.

Additionally, the ongoing drilling is supported by new trenching and geophysical results, revealing a 1 km-long resistivity and chargeability anomaly at the Daina 2 South discovery, indicating strong potential for further mineralisation along the strike.

Martin Pawlitschek, President and CEO of Sanu Gold, expressed positivity about these developments: “We are excited by the recent trench samples collected from well-mineralised exposure. The extension of our ground geophysics program has identified a well-defined resistivity-chargeability trend associated with high-grade drill intercepts. This data allows us to refine our focus on a high-priority mineralised trend.”

With approximately $12.5 million in working capital, Sanu Gold is well-positioned to advance its three gold projects in Guinea. As exploration continues at Daina, stakeholders are optimistic about uncovering additional high-grade zones in this prolific mining region known for its rich gold deposits.
