JV Article: “Using termite mound sampling and shallow auger drilling, we have defined gold bleeding out of kilometer-scale structural trends on all three permits,” Martin Pawlitschek, president, and CEO of SanuGoldCorp (CSE: $SANU) mining gold africa

Highlights include 5.48 grams gold per tonne over 15 metres, including 78.4 grams gold over 1 metre, 4.75 grams gold over 21 metres, including 85.5 grams gold over 1 metre, 1.99 grams gold over 37 metres, including 32.6 grams gold over 1 metre, 15 grams gold over 1 metre, and 1.23 grams gold over 15 metres, including 12.3 grams gold over 1 metre.
Sanu plans on 10,000 to 15,000 metres of drilling from mid-2022 to early 2023, starting with the Daina permit followed by drilling at its Diguifara and Bantabaye properties. Mapping and sampling of artisanal gold workings have helped Sanu understand important structural trends and geological parameters. In some places, local residents strip the top layer of laterite and dig small pits – providing a convenient window into the bedrock. In most cases, though, artisanal miners dig 10- to 15-metre vertical shafts, then tunnel horizontally along paystreaks.
“The size of the gold anomalies that are being outlined means the company must carefully consider prioritized targets because you only have so many dollars for exploration and drilling,” said Fiona Childe, a geologist and Sanu’s vice-president of corporate development and communications. “When you have multi-kilometre gold anomalies, you must decide where you’re going to get the best return with the meterage available.
