Canadian Gold Hunter Corp. (TSX:CGH) ("Canadian Gold Hunter") and Sanu Resources
Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:SNU) ("Sanu") are pleased to announce that they have entered
into a definitive agreement (the "Arrangement Agreement") to effect a business
combination between the two companies pursuant to a plan of arrangement under
the Canada Business Corporations Act.


Pursuant to the Arrangement Agreement, Canadian Gold Hunter will acquire all of
the issued and outstanding shares of Sanu on the basis of 0.5725 shares of
Canadian Gold Hunter for each one Sanu share (the "Exchange Ratio"). All
outstanding Sanu options will be exchanged for replacement options of Canadian
Gold Hunter, the number and exercise price of which will be determined using the
Exchange Ratio. The transaction values the Sanu shares at $0.233 per share,
representing a 25% premium to the 20 day volume weighted average closing price
of Sanu. Upon completion of the transaction, Sanu will be a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Canadian Gold Hunter and it is estimated that Canadian Gold Hunter
will have 134,161,066 shares outstanding. Former shareholders of Sanu will hold
approximately 17.8% of the outstanding shares of Canadian Gold Hunter. The
transaction is expected to close by the end of August, 2009.


Full details of the transaction, including the terms of the Arrangement
Agreement, will be included in a management information circular which is
expected to be mailed to shareholders of Sanu on or about July 22, 2009. Sanu
plans to hold a special meeting of shareholders to approve the transaction and
related matters on or about August 17, 2009. The transaction is subject to all
requisite regulatory and court approvals as well as shareholder approval of the
transaction by at least 66 2/3% of the votes cast by Sanu shareholders present
in person or represented by proxy at the meeting.


The transaction has been approved by the board of directors of Sanu (with
interested directors abstaining) following the unanimous recommendation of a
special committee comprising Sanu's independent directors. The board of
directors of Sanu recommends that their shareholders vote in favour of the
transaction.
