Sanu Intersects 16m of 4.89% Zn, 0.96% Cu and 1.1g/t Au at the Aderat
Prospect 4.5kms North of the Hambok Massive Sulfide Deposit
OCT 20, 2008 - 14:55 ET

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Oct. 20, 2008) - Sanu
Resources Ltd. ("Sanu" or "the Company") (TSX VENTURE:SNU) is pleased
to announce the results of the recent scout drilling program on its
wholly owned Aderat prospect located 4.5kms north of the Company's
Hambok copper zinc massive sulfide deposit in Western Eritrea.

The best results were from angle drill hole ANK-006 which intercepted
27m grading 3.56% Zn, 0.75% Cu, 0.87gpt (grams per metric tonne) Au
from 144 to 173m including 16m grading 4.89% Zn, 0.96% Cu, and 1.04
gpt Au from 151 to 167m. This higher grade interval is hosted in
strongly altered felsic volcanic rock with disseminated and stockwork
sulphide mineralization which returned an uncut average grade of 1.4%
Zn, 0.23% Cu over 108m. The style of mineralization is characteristic
of the footwall zones of many volcanogenic massive sulphide deposits.
Complete drill results are listed in the attached table.

The Aderat prospect was identified by mechanical trenching through 2
to 4m of overburden in an area with a coincident electro-magnetic
conductor and positive gravity anomaly. The trenches exposed 20 to
30m intervals of gossan and altered hematitic felsic tuff anomalous
in copper, zinc, gold, molybdenum, bismuth and barium. Four of five
holes, (ANK-005, -006, -009 and -010) drilled on the prospect
intersected stockwork and disseminated sulfides in altered felsic
volcanic rocks up to 100m thick. Thinner 2 to 3m zones of semi-
massive to massive sulfides were intersected in ANK-005 and -006.

Hole ANK-006 was particularly impressive, intersecting the broad
envelope of disseminated mineralization with higher grade intervals
described above. Massive sulfide bands internal to the disseminated
zone yielded higher grade Zn and Cu values and were encountered
toward the base of the disseminated sulfide interval. The altered and
mineralized zone is open along plunge to the north and south.

These results are highly encouraging for Sanu's continued exploration
of the Hambok and other VHMS trends identified on the Mogoraib
license because they demonstrate the presence of a separate precious
metal enriched volcanogenic massive sulfide system on the Hambok
trend. The metal content within the disseminated and stockwork zone
intersected in hole 006 suggests a well mineralized system. A follow-
up program of geophysics and trenching will be done during the
remainder of 2008 to identify targets for early 2009 drilling.

Drill core samples were split on site by diamond saw with half the
core was submitted to African Horn Laboratories in Asmara for
crushing and grinding. Core is retained at Sanu's Mogoraib camp. One
split of the prepared sample pulp was airfreighted to Genalysis
Laboratories in Perth, Western Australia for analysis, and the
remainder retained in Sanu's warehouse in Asmara. High- and low-grade
sulfide and oxide standards constituting roughly 5% of the sample
volume were randomly inserted into the sample stream before shipment
of the pulps to Genalysis. Two duplicate samples were collected every
20 samples, one sent to Genalysis Labs and one to ALS-Chemex in
Vancouver. All sample data is stored in a secure database on site in
Asmara.
