Sranan Gold Announces Preparations for Initial Drilling Campaign Are Underway Following Positive Engagement with Local Community in Suriname

Sranan Gold Announces Preparations for Initial Drilling Campaign Are Underway Following Positive Engagement with Local Community in Suriname

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.'

Prime Announces Completion of June Warrant Exercise

Current Cash Balance of $33M Funds Activities Through 2026 VANCOUVER, British Columbia, June 17, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Prime Mining Corp. ('Prime' or the 'Company') (TSX: PRYM) (OTCQX: PRMNF) (Frankfurt: O4V3) announces that 97% of its $1.10 warrants due June 12, 2025 have been exercised, which, including the exercise of certain options, have increased Prime's cash balance to almost $33 million dollars as of today. Proceeds will contribute to the advancement of Prime's wholly-owned Los Reyes gold-silver project ('Los Reyes' or the 'Project') located in Sinaloa State, Mexico. Scott Hicks, CEO commented, 'We are delighted to see the confidence of warrant-holders in the Los Reyes Project reflected in this warrant exercise. With our cash position now at approximately $32.9 million, we are very well capitalized to deliver the upcoming Preliminary Economic Assessment, expected in the third quarter, and to advance our other technical programs through the end of 2026. We would like to thank our core shareholder group, led by Pierre Lassonde, for their continued support of Prime.' 2025 Outlook The Company plans to continue its success-based approach to exploration to further identify new prospective targets, expand the existing resource, and infill drilling. Additional work will include geological mapping and geochemical sampling to identify further discovery areas. On January 28, 2025, drilling was paused in response to a deterioration in the security situation in parts of Sinaloa, including the Los Reyes area. This pause is not currently expected to impact the Company's ability to drill a minimum 40,000m program over 12-months from the recommencement of drilling. Six drill rigs remain on site and drill contractors are on standby to resume drilling as soon as security improves. The Company will continue to work with local authorities to monitor the current situation. Planned fiscal 2025 exploration will focus on: Extending the high-grade Z-T Area shoots that remain open at depth, as well as along strike, both north and south. Expanding the known high-grade mineralization at Guadalupe East. Increasing the Central Area resource through additions southeast at Noche Buena and its connection to San Miguel East. Generative target drilling of high-grade intercepts at Las Primas, Fresnillo and Mariposa to further grow these emerging resources, as well as other target discovery areas to demonstrate the significant resource expansion potential at Los Reyes. Project activities are also planned to include: Preliminary Economic Assessment completion: Further refine metallurgical, geotechnical, mine planning and development parameters for project development, including process and underground mining optimization, infrastructure assessment and permitting requirements – targeting Q3 2025 completion. Community Engagement: Continue to engage with and support local ejidos (communities) through educational, community and environmental programming, access (road) improvements and infrastructure development. Prime continues to sponsor and benefit from a strong geologist intern program, supporting geology students from local colleges and universities. Figure 1 – Los Reyes Trends and Exploration TargetsAbout the Los Reyes Gold and Silver Project Los Reyes is a high-grade, low-sulphidation epithermal gold-silver project located in Sinaloa State, Mexico. On October 15, 2024, Prime announced an updated multi-million-ounce high-grade open pit and underground resource based on exploration drilling up to July 17, 2024. Since acquiring Los Reyes in 2019, Prime has spent more than $64 million on direct exploration activities and has completed over 221,000 metres of drilling to date. The Company is targeting the delivery of a PEA by the end of Q3, 2025 that will highlight a high return, high margin, low capital and long-life project at Los Reyes.

Mill recoveries of 95.6% and 81% for gold and silver, respectively. Heap leach recoveries of 73% and 25% for gold and silver, respectively. Pit slopes by area ranging from 42-47 degrees overall slope angle. 5% ore loss and 5% dilution factor applied to the 5 x 5 x 5m open pit resource block models. Mining costs of $2.00 per tonne of waste mined and $2.50 per tonne of ore mined. Milling costs of $16.81 per tonne processed. Heap Leach costs of $5.53 per tonne processed. G&A cost of $2.00 per tonne of material processed. 3% royalty costs and 1% selling costs were also applied. A 0.17 g/t gold only cutoff was applied to ex-pit processed material (which is above the heap-leaching NSR cutoff). Underground Resource estimates are based on economically constrained stopes generated using Datamine's Mineable Shape Optimizer (MSO) algorithm and the following optimization parameters (all dollar values are in US dollars): $1,950/ounce gold price and $25.24/ounce silver price. Mill recoveries of 95.6% and 81% for gold and silver, respectively. Mechanized cut and fill mining with a $60.00 per tonne cost. Diluted to a minimum 4m stope width with a 98% mining recovery. G&A cost of $4.00 per tonne of material processed. Milling costs of $16.81 per tonne processed. 3% royalty costs and 1% selling costs were also applied. Where mentioned, 'residual open pits' assumes that any underground stopes are backfilled with zero grade material at two-thirds of the original rock density. Economic-constrained open pits are then estimated with this mined-out, backfilled material in the open pit block selective mining unit ('SMU') model and assuming the resource parameters above. Mineral Resources are not Mineral Reserves (as that term is defined in the CIM Definition Standards) and do not have demonstrated economic viability. Refer to the Additional Notes section for further information. Drilling and geological interpretation suggests that the three known main deposit areas (Guadalupe, Central and Z-T) are larger than previously reported. Potential also exists for new discoveries where mineralized trends have been identified outside of the currently defined resource areas. Historic operating results indicate that an estimated 1 million ounces of gold and 60 million ounces of silver were recovered from five separate operations at Los Reyes between 1770 and 1990. Prior to Prime's acquisition, recent operators of Los Reyes had spent approximately US$20 million on exploration, engineering, and prefeasibility studies. QA/QC Protocols and Sampling Procedures Drill core at the Los Reyes project is drilled in predominantly HQ size (63.5 millimetres 'mm'), reducing to NQ (47.6 mm) when required. Drill core samples are generally 1.50 m long along the core axis with allowance for shorter or longer intervals if required to suit geological constraints. After logging intervals are identified to be sampled, the core is cut and one half is submitted for assay. Sample QA/QC measures include unmarked certified reference materials, blanks, and field duplicates as well as preparation duplicates are inserted into the sample sequence and make up approximately 8% of the samples submitted to the laboratory for each drill hole. Samples are picked up from the Project by the laboratory personnel and transported to their facilities in Durango or Hermosillo, Mexico, for sample preparation. Sample analysis is carried out by Bureau Veritas and ALS Labs, with fire assay, including over limits fire assay re-analysis, completed at their respective Hermosillo, Mexico laboratories and multi-element analysis completed in Vancouver, Canada. Drill core sample preparation includes fine crushing of the sample to at least 70% passing less than 2 mm, sample splitting using a riffle splitter, and pulverizing a 250 gram split to at least 85% passing 75 microns. Gold in diamond drill core is analyzed by fire assay and atomic absorption spectroscopy of a 30 g sample (code FA430 or Au-AA23). Multi-element chemistry is analyzed by 4-Acid digestion of a 0.25-gram sample split (code MA300 or ME-ICP61) with detection by an inductively coupled plasma emission spectrometer for a full suite of elements. Gold assay techniques FA430 and Au-AA23 have an upper detection limit of 10 g/t. Any sample that produces an over-limit gold value via the initial assay technique is sent for gravimetric finish via method FA-530 or Au-GRA21. Silver analyses by MA300 and ME-ICP61 have an upper limit of 200 g/t and 100 g/t, respectively. Samples with over-limit silver values are re-analyzed by fire assay with gravimetric finish FA530 or Au-GRA21. Both Bureau Veritas and ALS Labs are ISO/IEC accredited assay laboratories. Additional Notes Prime's MRE as of October 15, 2024 is classified in accordance with the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum ('CIM') 'CIM Definition Standards - For Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves' adopted by the CIM Council (as amended, the 'CIM Definition Standards') and in accordance with the requirements of NI 43-101. Mineral resources are not mineral reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability. Metres is represented by 'm'; 'etw' is Estimated True Width and is based on drill hole geometry or comparisons with other on-section drill holes; 'Au' refers to gold, and 'Ag' refers to silver; 'g/t' is grams per metric tonne; some figures may not sum due to rounding; Composite assay grades presented in summary tables are calculated using a Au grade minimum average of 0.20 g/t or 1.0 g/t as indicated in 'Au Cut-off' column of Summary Tables. Maximum internal waste included in any reported composite interval is 3.00 m. The 1.00 g/t Au cut-off is used to define higher-grade 'cores' within the lower-grade halo. Additional details are available in the associated Technical Report, filed on November 27, 2024. Qualified Person Scott Smith, Executive Vice President of Exploration, is a Qualified Person for the purposes of NI 43-101 and has reviewed and approved the technical content in this news release.

Barrick engaged in arbitration as Malian gold complex placed under state control

Barrick Mining has confirmed that the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID) arbitration process is fully under way after a tribunal ruling placed the Loulo-Gounkoto complex under temporary provisional administration at the request of the Malian Government. The Bamako Commercial Tribunal's ruling transferred operational control of the complex from Barrick's subsidiaries to an external administrator. The arbitration, initiated under the binding mining conventions between Barrick subsidiaries and the State of Mali, is critical for the company in safeguarding its rights amidst escalating tensions, the company stated. The arbitration tribunal has been constituted, and Barrick has submitted a request for provisional measures to prevent further escalation and to safeguard its rights under binding mining conventions with the State of Mali. Despite Barrick's subsidiaries remaining the legal owners of the mine, the Malian Government's recent actions, including blocking gold exports and seizing gold stocks, have led to the temporary suspension of operations. The company said in a statement: 'These developments occurred despite Barrick's ongoing efforts to reach a constructive and sustainable resolution. While the company has made a number of good faith concessions in the spirit of partnership, it cannot accept terms that would compromise the legal integrity or long-term viability of the operations.' Barrick has expressed deep concern over the ongoing detention of its employees, which it claims are being used as leverage in the dispute. The detention of employees and the government's increasing demands are seen as lacking factual and legal foundation by Barrick. The company has warned that unilateral actions by the government risk damaging Mali's economic credibility and its standing as an investment destination. While the ICSID process is in progress, Barrick is still open to engaging with the Malian Government to find a mutually acceptable solution. The company has said that it prefers resolving differences through engagement based on mutual respect, legal certainty and a shared commitment to long-term partnership.
