Sranan Gold Corp. (CSE: SRAN,OTC:SRANF) (OTCQB: SRANF) (FSE: P84) (Tradegate: P84) ("Sranan" or the "Company") reports that the gold mineralization at the Randy's Pit Zone has been extended 200 metres ("m") to the northwest along the regional Poeketi Shear Zone (PSZ) with drill hole 26RADD-027 returning 7.5 m grading 1.22 gt Au. Mineralization has now been traced to a total of 800 metres along the 5km shear zone and remains open in all directions.
Highlights
Randy's Pit Zone returns 20 metres at 1.33 g/t Au (26RADD-025) including two one metre intervals grading 6.23 g/t Au and 6.66 g/t Au (Figure 2) and remains open to depth and along strike.
Step-out drilling intersected the PSZ 200 metres to northwest of the Randy's Pit Zone confirming continuation of gold mineralization along the PSZ (Figure 3).
Commenting on the assay results, Oscar Louzada, CEO of SRANAN said, "These recent results confirm that the PSZ has the potential to host gold mineralization along its entire 5-kilometre strike length between the Randy's Pit area and the Poeketi Zone, two areas of continued artisanal mining. Trenching completed by SRANAN in 2025, showed that the PSZ can be up to 800 m wide providing substantial room for expansion not only along strike but perpendicular to strike in sub-parallel zones as well. As the 2026 drill season progresses, we will continue to focus on tracing the gold mineralization along the largely untested PSZ."

Geological Interpretation
Drill hole 26RADD-025 (Figure 3) was designed to test the down-dip extension of the significant gold mineralization intersected at depth in holes 25RADD-009 and 25RADD-010 assessing the potential for vertical continuity along the three shallowing plunging gold zones identified within the established PSZ structural corridor.
All three mineralized domains are hosted within a well-developed mylonitic shear zone cutting basalt characterized by ankerite and sericite alteration with moderate to weak silicification. Sulphide mineralization, comprising pyrrhotite and pyrite, occurs along shear planes and is spatially associated with gold mineralization.
Drill holes 26RADD-026 and 26RADD-027 tested continuity of the PSZ 250 m north of hole 26RADD-025. Further drill holes will be completed along this section to test for changes or deflections in the PSZ. Trenching completed in 2025 traced the PSZ over a strike length of 800 m.
Quality Control & Quality Assurance
Drill core produced by the drill rigs was extracted from the core tubes by the drill contractor, marked for consistent orientation and placed in core boxes with appropriate depth markers added. Full core boxes were then sealed before being transported by SRANAN personnel to the Sranan Gold Tapanahony basecamp. Core at the camp is logged, checked for recovery, and marked for assays by SRANAN personnel. Samples are split by a diamond saw, and samples are placed in sealed bags and ensuring that the left side of the core is consistently sampled. Reference numbers are assigned to each sample and each sample is weighed. The core trays with the remaining half-core are photographed and stored in racks at the Company's camp.
Bagged samples are secured and sent to Filab preparation facility located in Paramaribo, Suriname. Samples are processed and assayed by Filab, a Bureau Veritas Certified Laboratory (under ISO 9001:2015), which is independent of the Company. Samples are crushed to 75% passing 2.35 mm screen, riffle split (700 g) and pulverized to 85% passing 88 µm. Samples are analyzed using a 50-gram fire assay with an Atomic Absorption (AA) finish. All samples >2 g/t Au are re-assayed with 50-gram re-assay and gravimetric finish. All samples with visible gold identified during core logging are re-assayed with 50 gm re-assay and gravimetric assay.
Within every batch of approximately 20 samples, at least one certified reference material standard ("CRM") and one blank are included to monitor accuracy and contamination. Blanks are placed at the start of each hole, at regular intervals, and immediately after mineralized shear zones to ensure the integrity of the assay process. CRMs are inserted within and after mineralized zones with placement designed so that each 20-sample sequence contains one standard. Field duplicates are collected at least once per hole in shear zones and additionally at fixed intervals to assess precision and repeatability. No data quality problems were indicated by the QA/QC program.
