Sranan Gold Announces Further High-Potential Exploration Targets at the Tapanahony Gold Project in Suriname

Sranan Gold Announces Further High-Potential Exploration Targets at the Tapanahony Gold Project in Suriname

Following the closing of Sranan Gold Corp.'s (CSE: SRAN) (FSE: P84) (Tradegate: P84) ("Sranan" or the "Company") oversubscribed private placement announced on June 12, 2025, the Company announces additional targets to its planned inaugural 10,000-metre drill program at the 4.5-kilometre Randy-Poeketi trend of the Tapanahony Gold Project in Suriname.

Each of the target areas (see Figure 1) has been identified by a combination Lidar survey, geophysics, geological interpretation, exploration data from previous operators, field work and, most importantly, local mining activity. The areas currently identified are referred to as Randy's Pit, Randy's Extension, Randy West, Poeketi Pit, West Poeketi, South Intrusion, Enard North and Enard South.

Dr. Dennis LaPoint, EVP Exploration and Corporate Development of Sranan Gold, commented: "Our expanded 10,000-metre drill program marks a major step forward in systematically unlocking the potential of our district-scale property. With an adaptive approach guided by rapid assay turnaround and new structural and lithologic data and analysis, we're confident this program will significantly advance our understanding of the project's scale and resource potential."

Randy's Pit is the first priority for drilling, which is based on historical drilling by Iamgold and later mining by local miners at Randy's Pit.

Newly identified zone Randy's Extension is the southeast continuation of the Randy trend, where a potential granite contact — similar in style to mineralization at the Oko West gold discovery in northwest Guyana — may exist. This 1.6-kilometre trend will be explored while the excavator is in the area for drilling at Randy's Pit, leveraging mobilization efficiencies. The goal is to confirm the continuity of the Randy trend beyond its known limits. Drilling will follow.

Newly identified zone Randy West targets a parallel zone immediately west of Randy trend. Two ridges, each roughly two kilometres in length, display evidence of historical pits and alluvial workings, suggesting a nearby intrusive source. As the excavator works at Randy's Pit to support drilling, trenching will commence on these ridges to test for mineralization and to define drill targets along this parallel trend.

The Poeketi Pit target is the site of a recent gold rush starting in 2020. Active mining is characterized by a high-grade, fault-filled vein system. Drilling is planned on the 350-metre-long Poeketi open pit, which hosts five underground shafts, and the 150-metre-long New Pit. In between is a 260-metre ridge due to the fault-filled vein which will be tested first by trenching.

A trenching program is planned at West Poeketi on its southern region to delineate mineralized structures to select drill sites. A northeast striking soil sampling campaign toward the concession's northwest boundary will later be used to extend known mineralized trends and highlight areas for further exploration.

The newly identified South Intrusion target lies to the southeast of the Randy trend, where an arc of shallow auger anomalies closely follows the greenstone-intrusive contact, like Oko and Oko West. Historically, Iamgold panning anomalies in this area indicated a potential source of mineralization. This target region spans five to ten kilometres in strike length.

New identified Enard North and Enard South benefit from detailed Lidar coverage and extensive alluvial mining, both of which highlight the potential of the Enard concession. At Enard South, two large-scale folds were revealed by Lidar, supported by active artisanal mining. The fold axes correspond to catchment anomalies identified in panning by Iamgold. Focused mapping, sampling and auger drilling will be the primary methods to develop targets in this fold-hosted setting that has similarities to the Merian and Rosebel mines.

Gold Rush 2.0: Why California is Poised for a Mining Renaissance

With modern technology, a rising gold price and renewed government support for domestic mineral production, mining companies and investors are taking a second look at historic districts and brownfield projects once considered uneconomic — and California’s long-overlooked gold deposits are squarely back in focus.

The California Gold Rush of 1848 wasn’t just a pivotal moment in American history — it was one of the most profitable mineral booms ever recorded. Sparked by a discovery at Sutter’s Mill, the gold rush drew over 300,000 people and produced more than 25 million ounces of gold, much of it from the now-famous Mother Lode Belt.

At the peak of the gold rush, California was producing nearly 1 million ounces per year, including an estimated 1.4 million ounces from the Mariposa District alone. However, the low price of gold at the time and limitations with mining methods during the 19th and early 20th century, have left much of the gold-bearing rock unmined.
