Sanatana Identifies Significant New Gold-Copper Exploration Target

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Nov. 28, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Sanatana Resources Inc. (“Sanatana” or the “Company”) (TSX-V:STA) is pleased to provide this exploration update to its shareholders.

During the months of September, October and November, Sanatana was busy conducting exploration on the Jackfish property.  The exploration included a detailed airborne magnetic survey utilizing Stratus Aeronautics' multi rotor UAV platform.  The survey covered an area of 5.6 square kilometres over the core of the high priority targets on the Jackfish property.  Infill lines of VLF were collected by Company field personnel over the Rudy #7 target and between the North and Hematite Zones.

The new geophysical data has greatly enhanced our knowledge of both the overall structural setting and the numerous individual mineralized showings on the property.  A distinct magnetic anomaly has also now been tied directly to a significant copper soil anomaly previously identified on the property.  The coincidence of the soil anomaly with copper values up to 769 ppb combined with a grab sample of mineralized float from the area that returned assay values of 14.9 g/t Au, 6.5% Cu, 7.5% Pb and 1% Zn as well as the underlying magnetic signature has elevated the status of this target to become a high priority for drill testing.

Peter Miles, President and CEO, stated: “The newly acquired geophysical data has increased our knowledge and confidence in the exploration potential of the Jackfish property and provides evidence of additional styles of mineralization that may be present.  We look forward to commencing a drill program on our priority targets once final detailed geophysical modelling is completed and it should be noted that the Jackfish property can be drilled throughout the winter season. 

“Sanatana continues to be active in the identification and acquisition of additional mineral projects.”
