Sanu Gold Announces Additional High-Grade

Gold Results from the Daina Exploration

Permit in Guinea, West Africa: 9 m of 7.97 g/t

Au Trench Sampling and 61.6 g/t Au from Rock

Chip Sampling

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - March 15, 2024) -

Sanu Gold Corporation (CSE:

SANU) (OTCQB: SNGCF)

("Sanu Gold" or the "Company") is pleased to announce additional results of

trench and rock chips sampling from the Daina 1 South and Daina 6 Targets of the Daina Gold

Exploration Permit ("Daina"), located in the prolific Siguiri Basin of Guinea, West Africa.

Highlights Include

Strong Mineralization in Trenches at Surface:

9 m of 7.97 g/t Au, including 3 m of 21.75 g/t Au in

trench DAI-TR-007 at Daina 1 South.

High-Grade Samples in Multiple Locations:

Rock chip samples collected at across the Daina 1

South and Daina 6 target areas returned grades as high as 61.6 g/t Au, 22.3 g/t Au and 20 g/t Au.

Compelling Targets Emerging:

The newly identified high-grade mineralization at Daina 1 South is

undrilled and represents a new high-priority target on the Daina Permit.

Systematic Approach to Gold Discovery:

Workings and gold mineralization at the Daina 1 South

and Daina 6 targets are located within an extensive termite mound and auger gold anomaly aligning with

a shear zone trend.

Martin Pawlitschek, President, and CEO of Sanu Gold commented: "The results from the sampling at

Daina 1 South and Daina 6 demonstrate that there remains significant untested potential on the Daina

permit. While the Company is focused on advancing the work at Bantabaye towards follow-up drilling on

its discovery, short tactical campaigns of sampling on geophysics serve to advance the Daina targets

while also keeping the permit in good standing."

Trenching Program

Twelve trenches totaling 104 meters were completed at Daina 1 south (Figure 1 and Table 1) and four

trenches totaling 36 meters completed at Daina 6 (Figure 2 and Table 1). All of these trenches were

completed in artisanal workings where saprolitized bedrock is exposed by local miners. Geological and

structural observations indicate that all trenches at Daina 1 South and Daina 6 targets sampled sheared

and hydrothermally altered greywacke and mineralized quartz veinlets and stockworks (Figure 2) that are

the main target for the local miners. The gold mineralization at those artisanal working sites at Daina 1

South and Daina 6 are located along NNW-trending and NNE-dipping gold structures that align with

extensive termite mound and auger gold anomalies (Figures 1 and 3).

At Daina 1 South, DAI-TR-007 is mineralized in its entire length and returned

9 m of 7.97 g/t Au,

including 3 m of 21.75 g/t Au.

All samples from DAI-TR-011 returned gold values above detection limit,

with 6 of 9 samples returning grades above 1.0 g/t Au, including

1 m of 59.3 g/t

and

1 m of 4.67 g/t

. The trench DAI-TR-011 is 7 meters long and returned

7 m of 1.22 g/t Au

. The other trenches

completed at Daina 1 South returned significant gold intercepts including:

DAI-TR-001: 1m of 0.39 g/t Au, 2m of 0.34 g/t Au and 1m of 0.37 g/t Au

DAI-TR-004: 1m of 1.38 g/t Au

DAI-TR-005: 1m of 0.67 g/t Au

DAI-TR-008: 4m of 0.8 g/t Au

DAI-TR-009: 8m of 0.43 g/t Au

DAI-TR-010: 10m of 0.71 g/t Au

DAI-TR-012: 15m of 0.64 g/t Au

At Daina 6, DAI-TR-015 returned

9 m of 1.2 g/t Au

and DAI-TR-016 returned

3 m of 4.66 g/t Au,

including 1 m of 12.6 g/t Au

: Both trenches sampled highly deformed coarse-grained greywacke. Gold

is associated with a zone of strong hydrothermal alteration and quartz vein stockwork and breccia zones

that form locally gossans in the weathered profile. These stockwork veins and breccia zones are target

areas for artisanal miners and contain high-grade gold mineralization. The two other trenches returned

significant intercepts including:

DAI-TR-013:

2m of 0.37 g/t Au and 2m of 1.12 g/t Au

DAI-TR-014:

4m of 0.47 g/t Au

Rock Chip Sampling Program

During the program a total of 66 rock chip samples were taken from altered outcrops along the structure

at Daina 1 South in artisanal working pits. 36 samples returned values above 1 g/t Au and include

grades of

61.6 g/t, 22.3 g/t, 20 g/t, 16.1 g/t, 13 g/t, 12.9 g/t, 12.8 g/t, 10.7 g/t, 9 g/t, 7.17 g/t, 6.72 g/t,

6.61 g/t, 5.92 g/t, 5.84 g/t and 5.07 g/t Au

(Figure 1 and Table 2). These samples were comprised of

highly sheared, hydrothermally altered and locally brecciated greywacke rocks crosscut by large quartz

vein system.

At Daina 6, 36 rock chip samples were collected from saprolitized bedrock in artisanal working pits.

10 samples returned values more than 1 g/t Au and include grades of

10.6 g/t, 9.11 g/t, 7.02 g/t, 6.56

g/t, 6 g/t, 3.47 g/t, 3.09 g/t, and 2.79 g/t Au

(Figure 3 and Table 2). These samples consisted of

strongly hydrothermally altered coarse-grained greywacke invaded by zones of quartz vein stockwork

and breccia that contain high gold mineralization.

Next Steps

While the Company's focus remains the Bantabaye project for now, targeted programs of field work

were carried out at Daina to further evaluate the as yet largely undrilled targets. In addition to the

program of sampling reported here, a small program of IP conducted by SAGAX Afrique is being

completed to evaluate how geophysics may contribute to drill target definition at Daina. This will also

assist in keeping the permits in good standing.

Quality Assurance / Quality Control ("QA/QC")

Sampling was completed following industry best practices, conducted under the supervision of the

Company's project geologists and the chain of custody from the project to the sample preparation facility

was continuously monitored. An appropriate number and type of certified reference materials

(standards) and blanks totaling 5% of the total number of samples shipped to the laboratory was inserted

approximately every 20th sample to ensure an effective QA/QC program was carried out. Data

verification of the analytical results included a statistical analysis of the standards and blanks that must

pass certain parameters for acceptance to ensure accurate and verifiable results. All samples were

analyzed using Fire Assay FAA505 at the SGS Laboratory in Bamako, Mali ("SGS"). SGS is an

internationally recognized and commercially certified laboratory and is independent of Sanu Gold.
