Sranan Gold Announces Further High-Potential Exploration Targets at the Tapanahony Gold Project in Suriname
Edmonton, Alberta--(Newsfile Corp. - June 16, 2025) - Following the closing of Sranan Gold Corp.'s (CSE: SRAN) (FSE: P84) (Tradegate: P84) ("Sranan" or the "Company") oversubscribed private placement announced on June 12, 2025, the Company announces additional targets to its planned inaugural 10,000-metre drill program at the 4.5-kilometre Randy-Poeketi trend of the Tapanahony Gold Project in Suriname. Each of the target areas (see Figure 1) has been identified by a combination Lidar survey, geophysics, geological interpretation, exploration data from previous operators, field work and, most importantly, local mining activity. The areas currently identified are referred to as Randy's Pit, Randy's Extension, Randy West, Poeketi Pit, West Poeketi, South Intrusion, Enard North and Enard South. Dr. Dennis LaPoint, EVP Exploration and Corporate Development of Sranan Gold, commented: "Our expanded 10,000-metre drill program marks a major step forward in systematically unlocking the potential of our district-scale property. With an adaptive approach guided by rapid assay turnaround and new structural and lithologic data and analysis, we're confident this program will significantly advance our understanding of the project's scale and resource potential." Figure 1: Priority exploration targets at the Tapanahony Gold Project, Suriname. To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit: Randy's Pit is the first priority for drilling, which is based on historical drilling by Iamgold and later mining by local miners at Randy's Pit. Newly identified zone Randy's Extension is the southeast continuation of the Randy trend, where a potential granite contact — similar in style to mineralization at the Oko West gold discovery in northwest Guyana — may exist. This 1.6-kilometre trend will be explored while the excavator is in the area for drilling at Randy's Pit, leveraging mobilization efficiencies. The goal is to confirm the continuity of the Randy trend beyond its known limits. Drilling will follow. Newly identified zone Randy West targets a parallel zone immediately west of Randy trend. Two ridges, each roughly two kilometres in length, display evidence of historical pits and alluvial workings, suggesting a nearby intrusive source. As the excavator works at Randy's Pit to support drilling, trenching will commence on these ridges to test for mineralization and to define drill targets along this parallel trend. The Poeketi Pit target is the site of a recent gold rush starting in 2020. Active mining is characterized by a high-grade, fault-filled vein system. Drilling is planned on the 350-metre-long Poeketi open pit, which hosts five underground shafts, and the 150-metre-long New Pit. In between is a 260-metre ridge due to the fault-filled vein which will be tested first by trenching. A trenching program is planned at West Poeketi on its southern region to delineate mineralized structures to select drill sites. A northeast striking soil sampling campaign toward the concession's northwest boundary will later be used to extend known mineralized trends and highlight areas for further exploration. The newly identified South Intrusion target lies to the southeast of the Randy trend, where an arc of shallow auger anomalies closely follows the greenstone-intrusive contact, like Oko and Oko West. Historically, Iamgold panning anomalies in this area indicated a potential source of mineralization. This target region spans five to ten kilometres in strike length. New identified Enard North and Enard South benefit from detailed Lidar coverage and extensive alluvial mining, both of which highlight the potential of the Enard concession. At Enard South, two large-scale folds were revealed by Lidar, supported by active artisanal mining. The fold axes correspond to catchment anomalies identified in panning by Iamgold. Focused mapping, sampling and auger drilling will be the primary methods to develop targets in this fold-hosted setting that has similarities to the Merian and Rosebel mines.

Sranan Gold Announces High-Grade Gold from Grab Samples Collected at Poeketi Mines at Tapanahony Gold Project in Suriname
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - May 15, 2025) - Sranan Gold Corp. (CSE: SRAN) (FSE: P84) ("Sranan" or the "Company") announces that it has received assays from sampling at the Tapanahony Gold Project in Suriname. All of the 25 grab samples collected by Sranan are anomalous in gold with the highest grades recording 108 grams per tonne (g/t) and 84 g/t (see Figures 1 and 2). 15 of the 25 samples graded greater than 1 g/t. The highest-grade gold samples are along the Poeketi structure and cover an exposed strike length of over 400 meters (see Figure 2). The sampling has been concentrated at the Poeketi mines area of the Poeketi-Randy gold trend (see Sranan's April 1, 2025 news release). Multiple mines are opened along the 4.5-kilometer gold trend and are being mined by members of the local community. The Poeketi mines were discovered in 2020 after a local resident found gold nuggets while planting crops. Initial mining was at the surface where coarse visible gold was encountered, and now local miners are engaged in underground mining via two active shafts to a depth of 22 and 80 meters. They are extending development to the northwest where there is a thicker cover of weathered material (see Figure 1). Figure 1: Looking northwest along strike of underground workings along the Poeketi structural zone. To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit: Figure 2: High-grade grab samples of vein material being mined by small-scale miners. To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit: At the Poeketi mines, gold is associated with multi-stage shearing and re-crystallization within a major fault system. Multiple fault fill veins, sheared and transposed extensional veins have been mapped and sampled within basaltic to volcanoclastic units proximal to a property-scale granitic contact, perhaps similar in setting to the Oko West gold discovery in northwest Guyana. Concurrently, crews are working on drill camp construction using local materials and deploying equipment. The technical team will continue mapping and sampling of the Poeketi mine extension to properly plan for the upcoming drill program. This work will be extended along the 4.5-kilometer Poeketi-Randy trend and extensions of this trend. Dr. Dennis LaPoint, EVP Exploration and Corporate Development of Sranan Gold, commented: "These results have exceeded our expectations. The high-grade nature of the mineralization and the complex structural setting are indicative of a potentially significant mineralizing system. These grab sample results, along with recent mapping, are advancing our understanding of the mineralization as well as the lithologic and structural controls, which will be key during our upcoming drilling program and to extend the Poeketi trend to areas covered by laterite." Samples were shipped to the Filab lab in Suriname. All samples >2 g/t were re-assayed with 50 gm re-assay and gravimetric assay. Standard QA/QC procedures were followed which showed a satisfactory level of reproducibility. Grab samples indicate promising evidence of high-grade gold. Channel sampling, trenching and drilling are the steps to determine average grade and thickness. The Company notes that grab samples are selected samples and may not represent true underlying mineralization. Qualified Person Dr. Dennis J. LaPoint, Ph.D., a "qualified person" as defined under National Instrument 43‐101, has reviewed and approved the scientific and technical information in this release.

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." Qualified Person Dr. Dennis J. LaPoint, Ph.D., a "qualified person" as defined under National Instrument 43‐101, has reviewed and approved the scientific and technical information in this release.

Peak Minerals Announces New Lidar Survey at the Tapanahony Project in Suriname
Lidar survey being used to plan upcoming drilling program and develop new targets for evaluation Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - April 1, 2025) - Peak Minerals Ltd. (CSE: PEK) ('Peak' or the 'Company'), announces that ground work has started in preparation for an upcoming drill program at its Tapanahony Project in Suriname. The Tapanahony Project, located in the eastern part of the Marowijne greenstone belt, is a highly prospective exploration property located on both sides of the Tapanahony River in Suriname. Peak contracted with Altoa of French Guiana to conduct a high-resolution Light Detection and Ranging (Lidar) survey. Altoa is in the process of completing the survey and has provided provisional datasets to aid in drill planning and interpretation. An aim of the Lidar survey is to acquire high-resolution geospatial data for topographic mapping and detailed terrain analysis. The resulting data significantly supports ongoing drill planning by providing accurate terrain models, and enhancing the understanding of surface features essential for project planning, exploring, drilling and decision-making processes. Roads, trails and areas of mining by the local community are highly visible and accurately located (Figure 1). Dr. Dennis LaPoint, Peak's Suriname Country Manager, commented: 'In preparation for the upcoming drill program planned in the next few months, a Lidar survey, sampling, field mapping and logistical ground work are underway. The Lidar results have uncovered three parallel structures to the north and south of the existing visible previously drilled structure, significantly enlarging the existing targets. Lidar resolution also better defined mineralized structures, timing of structural events, and the evolution of the landscape allowing us to more efficiently explore.' Figure 1: Mineralized corridor of the Randy-Poeketi trend. To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit: Lidar interpretation has identified at lease three levels of terraces developed during sea level change. The Tapanahony River is eroding and dissecting these terraces and as Figure 2 illustrates, the Randy trend and a parallel trend noted in historical auger data is not visible southeast of the Randy's Pit because a high-level older terrace covers the gold mineralization. This observation warrants significant additional exploration of the Poeketi-Randy trend along strike to southeast and northwest and will be used in exploration methodology for drill evaluation. Figure 2: Two mineralized trends parallel to the Randy's Pit with high level terrace identified by Lidar survey to southeast. To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit: In this deeply weathered environment, lithologies and structure are obscured when mapping, but are visibly shown on the Lidar survey. In Figure 3, a contact of the volcanic-sedimentary rocks with a granitic intrusion is easily recognized by the contrasting topographic expression. Near this contact are a cluster of workings in weathered bedrock produced by local miners. Like other deposits on the Guiana Shield, such as at Founders Metals' Antino Project (see Founders Metals website, March 25, 2025, Combes technical presentation), multiple host structures and lithologies for gold are being located for further evaluation and drilling at Peak's Tapanahony Project.
