Preliminary results from Canada headquartered gold exploration company Sanu Gold Corporation’s ongoing 2025 drill programme, mainly focused on its Daina gold exploration permit located in the Siguiri Basin of Guinea, show that since the drill programme started in February 2025, a total of 9,118 m were drilled on the permit, with assay results for several holes still pending.
The drill results have extended mineralisation at the Daina 2 target and resulted in another new discovery at the Salat East target. Following the new Daina 2 target discovery announced earlier this year, further drilling has successfully confirmed mineralisation between the Daina 2 main and the Daina 2 south zones, thereby extending the mineralisation by approximately 1,000 m to a strike length of at least 1,500 m.

Mineralisation remains open to the south where the trends defined in the ground geophysics indicate the main structure continues for a further 1,000 m. A second rig has been mobilised with a further 4,000 m of drilling currently underway on the Daina permit.
First drilling at the Salat East target identified mineralisation of significant width over a strike length of at least 500 m, within a granite hosted northeast striking structure. The mineralised structure remains open, suggesting significant opportunity for expansion along strike and at depth, with follow-up drilling expected to be planned in the next drilling campaign. Drill results highlights include 34m of 1.42 g/t Au from 24m, including 12m of 3.24 g/t Au.
“We are very pleased with the preliminary results of our ongoing exploration programme. Our key focus was to test the extensive gold bearing structures first discovered late last year at Daina 2, where further drilling confirmed wide zones of mineralisation from the southern extension of the structure. We have also completed initial lines of drilling across the granitoid hosted Salat East target where we made a new discovery as significant widths and grades of gold mineralisation were returned, while the structure remains open in all directions,” says Martin Pawlitschek, president and CEO of Sanu Gold.
