Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - May 6, 2025) - Sranan Gold Corp. (CSE: SRAN) (FSE: P84) ("Sranan" or the "Company") announces that work has commenced in preparation for the Company's upcoming initial drilling campaign at the Tapanahony Gold Project in Suriname.
Sranan geologists and crew are in the field to sample the active workings generated by local miners. This work will be extended along the 4.5 km Poeketi-Randy trend and then extensions of this trend.
Sranan has purchased two Hydracore 2000 drills which are expected to arrive in Suriname in late May with phase 1 drilling expected to commence in the second quarter of 2025, after field evaluation and camp construction. The Company's decision to acquire its own drills is a result of expanding gold potential based on re-evaluation of historical data and the Lidar data and Sranan interpretation, which suggests three parallel zones of mineralization. The Company is increasing its initial 1,500-meter drilling campaign to 10,000 meters. The acquisition of drills will assist in expediting the drill program and is also expected to significantly reduce drilling cost.
Johnston Exploration Consulting, a drilling team with extensive in-country experience and a proven record of drill performance, has been contracted to improve efficiency of the drill program.
Engagement with community leaders of the nearby Poeketi Village brings the community's skills, regional knowledge and manpower to aid in the Company's exploration efforts.
Dr. Dennis LaPoint, EVP Exploration and Corporate Development of Sranan Gold, commented: "Our team of local geologists is working with members of the local community and drawing upon their skills and knowledge. Knowledge of ongoing sampling and mapping in areas of active mining by local members of the community is invaluable and will contribute to our drill results."
