Sanu Gold Corporation announced that drilling has begun at the Company's Bantabaye Project ("Bantabaye"), located on the prolific western margin of the Siguiri Basin of Guinea, West Africa. A reverse circulation ("RC") rig is currently operational with a fully funded initial 3,500 m of drilling underway with 35 holes planned. Highlights.

Drilling has Commenced: Three holes have been completed at Target 2 in the vicinity of hole BANT- RC-002 which intersected 11.5 g/t Au over 15 m1. Extensive Drilling Planned: The Company has planned an initial 3,500 m of RC drilling in approximately 35 holes to both define footprints of gold mineralization and to test at depth of Target 2. Initial Focus on Target 2: The first 35 holes are planned to both immediately and aggressively step-out from BANT-RC-002 across an initial strike length of 500m and down dip-extent of 150m thus outlining potential for mineral resources. Drill pads for more aggressive 100m step outs along the 1100m strike length of the target are being planned.

Additional Drilling Planned: The Company is fully funded for an additional 4,500 m of RC drilling at Bantabaye where there are extensive gold zones present at surface requiring follow up and specific targets and drill plans are currently being finalized. Additional priority targets under evaluation for drill testing are Targets 1, 3, 7 and 8. The initial Phase of drilling will aim to confirm the gold mineralized structure defined by mapping and geophysics along a 500m strike length centered on last year's holes, with a program of systematic RC drilling testing the shallower portions of the zone up to 150m down dip. After this initial phase at Target 2, the rig will complete further drill testing on selected other key Targets.

The recent PDIP geophysics is currently being integrated into the final hole planning and prioritization at Targets 1, 3 and 7." Program Summary. The remainder of the holes are planned on a 50 by 50m grid stepping out along both strike directions from last year's intercepts and covering a total of 500m of strike length and testing the upper 150m of the structure. Phase 1 has been prioritized to test this 500m zone, which is traceable in exposure created by artisanal activity, well developed surface gold anomaly and has a coincident expression in the recently completed geophysics.

The down hole logging of each RC hole will serve to confirm or refine the current model and if warranted modify or re-prioritize the phase 1 drill holes. Beyond this 500m zone the structure is covered by a thick laterite plateau, where it can be traced by the gradient array IP geophysics and in some places coincident surface gold geochemistry. Next Step.

The Phase 1 drilling program will be completed but may be adjusted on the basis of observed geology and early assay results. Samples of the initial six holes are due for dispatch to the assay laboratory within the week. The Company and its contractors and consultants continue to process and update its geological models, plan target testing on the other targets and continue with drill pad access preparations.

These will be announced as soon as final versions are available.
