Sanatana intercepts 3,140 ppm Cu at Jackfish

SANATANA PROVIDES CORPORATE UPDATE

Sanatana Resources Inc. has provided this corporate update to its shareholders.

Corporate update

During the summer months, Sanatana conducted an initial six-hole, 930-metre drill program and additional exploration at its Jackfish property in Northern Ontario. Elevated levels of copper (up to 3,140 parts per million) were intercepted that appear to explain the copper soil anomaly that was being tested, and these assay results, along with the nature of the mineralization observed in the core, are thought to be indicative of volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) mineralization potential within the broader geological sequence in the area.

Peter Miles, president and chief executive officer, stated: "Having just completed the company's first drill program at one target area of the copper soil anomaly, there are many more high-priority targets to follow up on the Rudolph Wahl (Mr. Wahl) and Alto Ventures Ltd. option properties and the company's 100-per-cent-owned Santoy property. The geology of the region presents opportunities for a variety of styles of mineralization, each requiring further investigation and drill testing, if warranted, as part of the company's ongoing exploration program. Sanatana continues to be active in the identification and acquisition of prospective mineral exploration properties in Canada and other geologic terranes of known high prospectivity."

Future work plans may include continued drilling of priority geochemical and geophysical targets identified on other parts of the Jackfish property, in particular: the Section 6E gold showing along the Empress mine shear zone on the company's Empress property (held under option from Alto), the gold-bearing quartz vein uncovered by stripping at the Rudy No. 7 shear zone (held under option from Mr. Wahl) and additional exploration of the strong bedrock electromagnetic conductor identified from regional airborne geophysics on the company's recently acquired Santoy property. For further details on the Jackfish property and the Santoy property, see the company's news releases dated Feb. 7, 2017, and Jan. 11, 2018, respectively (copies of which are filed on the company's SEDAR profile).

The option agreement between Sanatana, as optionee, and Wayne Richards, Francine Richards and James Hamel (referred to for convenience as the Richards group), as optionor, has been terminated. The option agreement with the Richards group is further described in the February news release and was part of the three option agreements comprising the Jackfish property. The other two option agreements comprising the Jackfish property are being amended. Specifically, the option agreements with Mr. Wahl and Alto have been amended as summarized below.

Option agreement amendments

As announced in the company's news release dated Aug. 9, 2018, and further to the company's February news release, the company has entered into mineral option amending agreements with each of Alto and Mr. Wahl amending two option agreements related to the Mr. Wahl and Alto option properties.

The amending agreements, which are subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange, allow Sanatana to postpone certain cash payment, the issuance of certain shares in the capital of the company and certain exploration expenditure to be incurred as part of the consideration for the acquisition of a 100-per-cent interest in the mineral claims contemplated in the original agreements. Pursuant to the amending agreements, the company: (i) will defer the payment of cash consideration in the aggregate amount of $100,000 and the exploration expenditure to be incurred in the amount of $50,000 for six months to Dec. 21, 2018; (ii) has deferred the issuance of 1.5 million shares for approximately 1-1/2 months (such shares have now been issued); and (iii) will, subject to the approval of the TSX-V, issue 150,000 additional shares to Mr. Wahl and 200,000 additional shares to Alto.

The technical information in this news release was prepared under the supervisions of Troy Gill, BSc, MAIG, exploration manager for Sanatana. Mr. Gill is a qualified person for the purposes of National Instrument 43-101 (Standards of Disclosure for Technical Projects) and has reviewed and approved the technical information disclosed in this news release.
