When Lukas Lundin was ten years old, his father – resource industry legend and X-Leaguer, Adolph Lundin – sat him and his brother down and asked, "Who's going to be the mining engineer and who's going to be the petroleum engineer?" Thus were planted the seeds of his long and storied career of developing oil, uranium, gold, copper and even iodine, in Africa, the Middle East, South America, Russia and Mongolia.
By the time he was 15 years old, Lukas was attending corporate board meetings and flying around the world looking at mines. After schooling in the United States, he was immediately off to explore for gold in Sierra Leone, running a 50-man exploration crew before he was even old enough to legally drink in a bar.

The merger between Sanu and CGH was finalized on August 21. Like Suramina, Sanu is now a wholly owned subsidiary of Canadian Gold Hunter.

This puts a number of excellent properties and geologists under one roof, all spearheaded by Lukas.
To give you a feel for the reach of the new company, check out the properties, locations, and target metals in this table of key projects.
