Sranan Gold Intersects 64 Metres Grading 3.0 g/t Including 33.5 g/t over 5 Metres at the Randy's Pit Target at Tapanahony Project, Suriname, as First Holes Intersect a Significant Gold System

SRAN · Price

Executive Summary

  • Sranan Gold Corp. released significant diamond‑drill results from the Randy’s Pit target at its Tapanahony Gold Project, confirming a robust gold system in both saprolite and underlying bedrock.
  • The best intercept (hole 25RADD‑004) returned 64.0 m @ 3.0 g/t Au, including 5 m @ 33.5 g/t Au and 1 m @ 145.4 g/t Au.
  • Results support a ≥150 m‑wide shear zone with both bulk‑tonnage and high‑grade mineralization, encouraging further drilling along the 4.5‑km Randy‑Poeketi trend.

Key Details

  • Hole 25RADD‑004: 64.0 m @ 3.0 g/t Au (overall); includes
  • 5 m @ 33.5 g/t Au (≈1.2 oz/ton)
  • 1 m @ 145.4 g/t Au (≈5.1 oz/ton) – visible fine free gold noted.
  • Other First‑Four Holes:
  • Hole 25RADD‑001: 11.5 m @ 3.6 g/t Au (23–34.5 m).
  • Hole 25RADD‑002: 13.5 m @ 1.8 g/t Au (117.5–131 m).
  • Hole 25RADD‑003: 5.0 m @ 5.6 g/t Au (72–77 m) and additional intervals of 10.5 m @ 2.7 g/t Au (85–95.5 m).
  • Depth & Width: Gold mineralization intersected to at least 120 m vertical depth; shear system ≥150 m wide.
  • Geology: Strong silica‑sericite‑ankerite alteration in basaltic host rocks, mylonitic fabric, quartz‑carbonate veins, pyrite/pyrrhotite along shear planes – typical of orogenic gold systems.
  • Historical Sampling (context): Prior grab/trench samples up to 76.6 g/t Au at Randy’s Pit and 108 g/t Au at Poeketi.
  • Assay QA/QC: Samples assayed by Filab (Paramaribo); >2 g/t re‑assayed with 50 gm gravimetric method; OREAS‑certified reference materials, blanks, duplicates used. Independent lab confirmation planned.
  • Management Comments:
  • Dr. Dennis LaPoint (EVP Exploration) highlighted the “impressive intercepts” and noted drilling has not yet tested below Randy’s Pit or its extensions.
  • CEO Oscar Louzada emphasized clear evidence of a well‑mineralized system and plans to continue drilling both Randy’s Pit and along strike toward Poeketi.
  • Marketing Service Agreement: Separate non‑material item – six‑month promotional services agreement with Robert M. Sinn for US$12,000 cash; no performance‑based compensation.

Notable Quotes

“These impressive intercepts are the result of careful geologic and logging observations… The results of hole 25RADD‑004 are truly impressive.” – Dr. Dennis LaPoint, EVP Exploration & Corporate Development

“We now have very clear evidence of a well mineralized system in the Randy’s Pit area… we will continue to drill the Randy’s Pit target as well as explore along strike towards the Poeketi target.” – Oscar Louzada, CEO
