Edmonton, Alberta — February 19, 2026 — Leads & Copy — Sranan Gold Corp. has announced assay results from its 2026 diamond drilling program, which is currently focused on the Randy’s Pit target. The results continue to extend Randy’s Pit gold mineralization, with significant near-surface assay results returned.
Drill hole 26RADD-023 encountered 30 meters of 0.67 grams per tonne gold starting at 99 meters downhole, including a one meter interval assaying 12.53 grams per tonne gold from 106 meters. The hole was designed to test the up-dip extension of significant mineralization intersected at depth in holes 25RADD-013 and 25RADD-004, successfully assessing the vertical continuity within the established Poeketi Shear Zone.
In drill hole 26RADD-021, an interval of 4 meters averaged 6.58 grams per tonne gold, including one metre grading 21.8 grams per tonne gold. Hole 26RADD-022 contained a 20.6 meter interval of 0.64 grams per tonne gold starting from the surface. Drill hole 26RADD-020 tested the structural and mineralized gap between the northern and southern portions of the Randy’s Pit target. The mineralization intersected in this hole correlates well with mineralization encountered in the southernmost drill holes, supporting structural continuity across the target area.
The Poeketi Shear Zone, which hosts the known gold mineralization at Randy’s Pit, is a mylonitic shear zone cutting folded and strained basalt. At Randy’s Pit, the Poeketi Shear Zone is an oblique dextral reverse shear zone with the main higher-grade mineralization plunging northwest along the shear fabric. It shows progressive strain with pre and post shear extensional vein sets and visible gold often seen on shear planes in the core.
Dr. Dennis J. LaPoint, Executive Vice President of Exploration and Business Development, stated that the current drilling is progressing well with positive drill results and efficient drilling. He added that the company is expanding the Randy’s Pit target to the north with trenching and drilling and the Poeketi Shear Zone continues to be a well-mineralized gold system with multiple ore shoots, high grades, favorable widths at shallow depths, and frequent visible gold seen in the core, with further drilling extending to depth and to the south.
Samples were prepared and assayed by Filab in Paramaribo, Suriname. All samples >2 g/t were re-assayed with 50 gm re-assay and gravimetric assay. Standard QA/QC procedures were followed and showed a satisfactory level of reproducibility. The company notes that the drill intercepts may not represent true underlying mineralization as core sample intervals are used. Core logging and photography and sampling are completed under industry-standard QA/QC protocols (Oreas certified reference materials, assayed coarse blanks, duplicates of core).
Dr. Dennis J. LaPoint, Ph.D., P.Geo., a qualified person as defined under National Instrument 43-101, has reviewed and approved the scientific and technical information contained in this release.
Sranan Gold is engaged in mineral exploration and the acquisition of mineral property assets in Suriname. The Company’s flagship Tapanahony Project covers 29,000 hectares in one of Suriname’s most prolific artisanal gold mining districts, and Sranan recently announced the acquisition of the 18,468-hectare Lawatino Project situated in southeastern Suriname along the Central Guiana Shear Zone.
