Sranan Gold Initiates Diamond Core Drilling Program On The Randy Trend At The Tapanahony Project In Suriname


(MENAFN- Newsfile Corp) Edmonton, Alberta--(Newsfile Corp. - August 13, 2025) - Sranan Gold Corp. (CSE: SRAN) (FSE: P84) (Tradegate: P84) ("Sranan" or the "Company") announces the commencement of its diamond drilling program for the Tapanahony Project in Suriname. Sranan's drilling on the Randy trend is based on the positive drill results by Iamgold in 2012, small-scale mining by local community members, geologic and Lidar interpretation, and the results reported in recent news releases on high-grade grab samples from new shafts at Randy's Pit (76.6 grams per tonne (g/t) and 23.7 g/t gold - see news release dated July 31, 2025) and trench channel samples of 5 metres of 36.7 g/t gold (see news release dated August 7, 2025).

Sranan plans to validate the results of historical drilling by Iamgold since no core was preserved, and logs are missing structural and lithologic data. The Company is leveraging its team's experience in the structural controls on mineralization gained from other gold projects in the Guiana Shield, and is using oriented core to better understand shear and vein orientation. Drill samples are being logged, photographed and cut using standard operating and QA/QC procedures. The first samples will be shipped soon as they are logged and sampled.

Dr. Dennis LaPoint, Executive VP of Exploration and Corporate Development, commented: "The drone image is an excellent figure to illustrate the potential of the Randy trend. The shafts with grab samples up to 6.5 g/t gold have been overlooked by Iamgold and the local miners, and the area of trench 25RACH-001 has not been prospected. We look forward to conducting systematic diamond drilling to test the strike and depth of the Randy trend."

The Company will provide updates on results from the drilling program as they become available.
