Sanu Gold announces first gold discovery at Bantabaye project
Sanu Gold Corporation has announced its first discovery at the Bantabaye project exploration permit in Guinea, West Africa. The Bantabaye permit is located on the western margin of Guinea’s Siguiri Basin, approximately 50 km south of the Lefa Gold Mine and 80 km north of the Bankan Gold Project.
In April 2023, the company began its inaugural reverse circulation (RC) drill program at Bantabaye, with the objective of targeting extensive and continuous zones of gold in bedrock anomalies. The initial drill results have returned broad intervals of high-grade gold mineralization near the surface.Martin Pawlitschek, the President and CEO of Sanu Gold Corporation, expressed satisfaction with the results.

He mentioned that the first three drill holes at Bantabaye have led to the company’s second discovery in Guinea. The drilling intersected 11.4 grams per tonne of gold (g/t Au) over 15 meters, including 41.2 g/t Au over 4 meters at Target 2, starting at a depth of approximately 25 meters from the surface.
Pawlitschek also stated that the company has completed a total of 22 drill holes at Bantabaye so far. This includes three additional holes at Target 2 and 16 holes at three other high-priority targets. The results obtained thus far highlight the potential for significant discoveries at the Bantabaye project. Pawlitschek expressed excitement about updating the market as they receive further results. He also mentioned that Target 2 is just one of several identified targets along a 6 km segment of the Bantabaye thrust fault.
