Sanatana Resources Inc. announced that it has successfully started its the 2022 field program at the Oweegee copper-gold (Cu-Au) porphyry project located in BC's Golden Triangle. The 5,000 metre drill program follows a successful month of early season field work and preparations completed in June which position Sanatana for a productive and exciting summer. A recently completed ASTER survey shows concentric anomalies that are associated with porphyries, suggesting that the Molloy zone exploration target may be the centre of a copper-gold porphyry.

Initial drilling will focus on the Molloy Cu-Au bearing monzonite which is situated at the centre of a concentric suite of anomalies including a 400m diameter chargeability halo and nested mineral assemblages identified from ASTER imagery analysis. The Cu-Au bearing monzonite outcrop is central to these anomalies and returned an average of 0.34% Cu + 0.829 g/t Au from fifteen grab samples. The Cu-Au bearing intrusion was confirmed via petrography to be a fine grained, potassic altered, hornblende-plagioclase monzonite porphyry which contains common quartz-chalcopyrite veins.

The monzonite has now been dated at 219 million years old and is enveloped in altered, high potassic, calc-alkalic phases dated at 215-217 million years old. These ages confirm Oweegee is an older member of the Golden Triangle porphyry family which is consistent with the geologic nd geographic position and fortifies Sanatana's recognition of Oweegee as a highly prospective project located just 8 km east of highway 37 and the northwest transmission line.
