Vancouver, January 24, 2023 - Sanu Gold Corp. (CSE: SANU) (OTCQB: SNGCF) ("Sanu Gold" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the Company has arranged a non-brokered private placement (the "Placement") to raise total proceeds of up to $2,500,000. The Placement will consist of up to 9,259,260 units (each, a "Unit") at a price of $0.27 per Unit. Each Unit will be comprised of one common share of the Company (each, a "Common Share") and one half of one common share purchase warrant (a "Warrant"). Each full Warrant will entitle the holder thereof to purchase one Common Share of the Company at a price of $0.40 for a period of 36 months following the closing date of the Placement.

Martin Pawlitschek, President and CEO of Sanu Gold, commented: "Last year Sanu Gold made significant advancements on our portfolio of high-quality gold exploration permits in Guinea, West Africa. All three permits have multi-kilometre long gold-in-bedrock anomalies ready for drill testing, and on our Daina Permit we made an exciting new gold discovery with our initial drill program. With the proceeds of this financing we will continue to explore our highly prospective landholdings in the world's top gold producing region."

Proceeds of the Private Placement will be used to advance exploration on the Company's drill-ready gold exploration permits in Guinea, West Africa and for general working capital purposes. The Placement is subject to regulatory approval and all securities issued pursuant to the Placement are subject to a four-month hold period under applicable Canadian securities laws. The Company may pay finder's fees in connection with Placement as permitted by applicable securities laws and the rules of the Canadian Securities Exchange ("CSE"). Eventus Capital Corp. has been appointed as a finder in connection with the Placement. The Company will pay fees of 6% cash and finder warrants equal to 6% of the number of Units placed. Each finder warrant will be exercisable to purchase one Common Share of the Company at a price of $0.40 for a period of 36 months following the closing date of the Placement. The Placement is subject to the Company's filing requirements with the CSE.

The Placement is expected to close on or around February 14, 2023.
