Canadian gold exploration company operating two gold projects in Suriname's Guiana Shield, a world-class gold belt hosting multimillion-ounce deposits: the 29,000-hectare Tapanahony Gold Project and the 18,468-hectare Lawatino Gold Project.
LATEST DRILL RESULTS (Jan 13, 2026) at Tapanahony: 11m @ 7.33 g/t Au including 4m @ 14.59 g/t Au and 1m @ 44.60 g/t Au at shallow depths. Over 4,189m completed in H2 2025 with 900m+ mineralized shear corridor defined. Drilling continued into 2026 with 14 holes completed across Poeketi and Randy's Pit zones as of June 9, 2026.
SECOND DRILL RIG MOBILIZED (Apr 15, 2026): 5,000m Poeketi Zone program underway, 4.5km NW of Randy's Pit. Minimum 12,500m targeted for 2026 across both zones. Rock chip sampling returned grades up to 108.3 g/t Au from Poeketi Zone surface pits.
FINANCING CLOSED, MAY 27, 2026: Oversubscribed $3.6M private placement fully funds aggressive 12,500m drill program at Tapanahony and funds exploration at Lawatino. Phase I field crews mobilized June 9, 2026. Fracture density modelling (MUD® SAR) identified high-priority structural targets along the Central Guiana Shear Zone.
LAWATINO RESULTS, JUL 14, 2026: Phase I reconnaissance sampling returns grab samples up to 101.5 g/t Au from the 101 Zone and 15.73 g/t Au from the Bodoe Zone. Two high-grade zones separated by ~1.5km along the Central Guiana Shear Zone. 11 of 43 first-batch samples grade above 1 g/t Au. Area between zones yet to be sampled.
TWO-PROJECT SURINAME PORTFOLIO: Lawatino Phase I returns 101.5 g/t Au (Jul 14, 2026) with two high-grade zones identified along the Central Guiana Shear Zone. At Tapanahony, drilling continues across the Poeketi Zone and Randy's Pit Zone with 14 holes completed and assays pending. Best historical result (Jan 13, 2026): 11m @ 7.33 g/t Au including 4m @ 14.59 g/t Au and 1m @ 44.60 g/t Au. Positioned in the Guiana Shield, home to +80 million ounces of gold resources.
Phase I reconnaissance sampling returns 101.5 g/t Au from the 101 Zone and 15.73 g/t Au from the Bodoe Zone - two high-grade showings 1.5km apart along the Central Guiana Shear Zone on the 18,468-hectare concession. 11 of 43 first-batch samples grade above 1 g/t Au. Area between zones yet to be sampled.
Best result (Jan 13, 2026): 11m @ 7.33 g/t Au including 4m @ 14.59 g/t Au and 1m @ 44.60 g/t Au at shallow depths. Mineralized shear corridor 50-150m wide with 900m+ strike length defined across Randy's Pit and Poeketi targets.
Lawatino (18,468 ha) sits along the Central Guiana Shear Zone in southeastern Suriname, adjacent to Founders Metals' Antino Project and Miata Metals' Sela Creek Project. Tapanahony (29,000 ha) is accessible via river and air (8-hour boat from Paramaribo), in one of Suriname's most prolific artisanal gold mining districts.
Diamond drilling active across two zones: 5 holes completed at Poeketi Zone (6th underway, testing ~1km mineralized corridor) and 9 additional holes at Randy's Pit Zone. All core submitted to laboratory - assay results pending. Randy's Pit mineralization traced over 800m of PSZ strike length, open along strike and to depth.

12,500m program active across two zones. At Poeketi Zone: 5 holes completed, sixth hole underway, testing an ~1km mineralized corridor. At Randy's Pit Zone: 9 additional holes completed. All core submitted for assay - results pending. Best result to date (Jan 13, 2026): 11m @ 7.33 g/t Au including 4m @ 14.59 g/t Au at shallow depths. Randy's Pit mineralization traced over 800m of PSZ strike length, open along strike and to depth.
River and air access from Paramaribo (200km, 8-hour boat journey), landing directly between two main mining pits. Established artisanal mining infrastructure and experienced local workforce already operating along the mineralized trend.
Phase I reconnaissance sampling at the newly acquired 18,468-hectare Lawatino Gold Project returns grab samples up to 101.5 g/t Au - two high-grade zones identified along the Central Guiana Shear Zone, the same structure driving Founders Metals' Antino Project and Miata Metals' Sela Creek Project.
Located in the Lawa region of southeastern Suriname, overlying the Central Guiana Shear Zone (CGSZ) - the same deep-seated regional structure controlling gold mineralization at Founders Metals' adjoining Antino Project and Miata Metals' Sela Creek Project, two of the most active gold exploration projects in Suriname.
Program comprises reconnaissance geological mapping, soil sampling, trenching, and channel sampling. Designed to define the gold-bearing shear systems - the likely source of alluvial gold being mined on Lawatino - and generate preliminary high-priority drill targets. Integrated with a completed fracture density model generated using the MUD® SAR remote-sensing system, which identified extensive zones of structural complexity along the CGSZ.
Two zones of high-grade gold identified in the first batch of 43 assays, of which 11 samples graded above 1 g/t Au. The 101 Zone and Bodoe Zone are separated by approximately 1.5 kilometres in a NW-SE direction, sub-parallel to the CGSZ. The area between the two zones has yet to be sampled. Both zones occur in an area of relatively low fracture density - a pattern consistent with known gold occurrences observed elsewhere in the region.
An excavator will be mobilized onto the Property to expose the extent of gold mineralization at the 101 and Bodoe Zones, and to cut regularly spaced trenches along the 1.5-kilometre trend separating the two zones. Sranan is confident that further high-priority gold showings will be identified across the 18,468-hectare property given the widespread historical alluvial mining.

Continued drilling at Randy's Pit intersected 11 metres @ 7.33 g/t Au including 4m @ 14.59 g/t Au and 1m @ 44.60 g/t Au at shallow depths representing potential open-pittable targets. 4,189 metres completed in H2 2025. As of June 9, 2026, a further 14 holes completed (5 at Poeketi Zone, 9 at Randy's Pit Zone) with assay results pending.
A 5,000-metre diamond drill program has commenced on the high-grade Poeketi Zone, located 4.5km northwest of Randy's Pit where the 7,500m Phase II program continues. Together, these programs target a minimum of 12,500 metres in 2026 along the prolific Poeketi Shear Zone. Drilling started at the New Pit, establishing a ~1km mineralized corridor within the Poeketi Zone. Rock chip sampling from Poeketi Zone surface pits returned grades up to 108.3 g/t, 84.5 g/t, 26.7 g/t and 25.8 g/t Au. As of June 9, 2026: five holes completed at Poeketi Zone (sixth hole underway) and nine holes completed at Randy's Pit Zone - assay results pending for all holes. Mineralization at Randy's Pit traced over 800m of PSZ strike length, open along strike and to depth.
Phase I reconnaissance sampling at the 18,468-hectare Lawatino Gold Project has returned grab samples up to 101.5 g/t Au from the 101 Zone, and 15.73 g/t Au from the Bodoe Zone. The two zones are separated by approximately 1.5 kilometres along the Central Guiana Shear Zone, adjacent to Founders Metals' Antino Project and Miata Metals' Sela Creek Project.
