NigerThe Company has acquired two gold exploration permits, Sakoira 1 (488.8 sq. km) and Sakoira 2 (484.0 sq. km), from the Government of the Republic of Niger. The projects are accessible by paved road and located less than two hours from the capital city of Niamey.
Work by a previous operator had defined a cluster of gold in stream sediment anomalies 15 km long around the northeastern termination of a granitoïd intrusion exposed near the village of Sakoira. Major northeast trending shear zones, deflected around this granite body merge in the Sakoira I and II permits providing a favorable structural environment for orogenic gold mineralization. Other more dispersed gold anomalies occur further northeast along the trend of the regional shear zones.
Sanu believes the structural environment around the granite intrusion and the merging shear zones provide an excellent exploration environment for gold mineralization. As a first step in Sanu's exploration program, the higher value stream sediment gold anomalies will be verified and followed up with mapping, soil and regolith geochemistry.
