SRANAN GOLD ANNOUNCES ADDITIONAL HIGH-GRADE TRENCH RESULTS OF 8.9 GRAMS PER TONNE GOLD OVER 5 METRES AT THE TAPANAHONY PROJECT IN SURINAME, FURTHER EXPANDING THE RANDY TREND
Sranan Gold Corp. has released further high-grade channel sampling results from its continuing trenching program at the Tapanahony project in Suriname. The sampling is being conducted concurrently with diamond core drilling at the Randy trend on the project. An interval of five metres (m) that averaged 8.9 grams per tonne (g/t) gold was mapped and sampled (see table 1). The trench is west of the previously announced trench 25RACH-001 (see news release dated Aug. 7, 2025). Trenching is being used to extend mineralization at Randy's Pit, as well as the area of historical drilling by Iamgold. This trench is the western extension of previously sampled zones 150 metres south of Randy's Pit.
Mineralization is hosted within northeast-striking sheared felsic intrusive lithologies within a siltstone-basalt sequence encountered at Randy's Pit. This northeast-oriented mineralized interval is parallel to similar shears in trench 25RACH-002, where a grab sample of 57 g/t was taken. Trenches are being excavated south of Randy's Pit to extend the Randy's Pit mineralized corridor for future drilling. The observation of northeast shearing is further evidence of the complexity of the mineralized system, which is positive for gold mineralization.
Dr. Dennis LaPoint, executive vice-president of exploration and corporate development, commented: "Trenching is the ideal tool to continue to extend the near-surface expression of gold mineralized on the Randy trend. Trenches are selected based on topography and geology to best sample saprolite (weathered bedrock). For this trench, we are resampling the mineralized interval and adjoining channel samples to verify results and understand assay variability."
Samples were prepared and assayed by Filab in Paramaribo, Suriname. All samples more than two g/t were reassayed with 50-gram reassay and gravimetric assay. Standard QA/QC (quality assurance/quality control) procedures were followed, which showed a satisfactory level of reproducibility. Reject samples will be sent to an independent lab for confirmation of assay results following standard procedures. Channel sampling, trenching and drilling are used to determine average grade and thickness. The company notes that the channel samples may not represent true thickness of mineralization.
