Sranan Gold Corp. (CSE: SRAN) has released high-grade gold assay results from ongoing trenching and channel sampling at the 101 Zone of its 18,468-hectare Lawatino Gold Project in southeastern Suriname. The company announced that trench 26LACH-008 returned a 3-metre interval grading 20.89 grams per tonne gold, including a 1-metre sample grading 55.04 g/t Au. Grab samples from the same area returned values of up to 57.58 g/t Au, adding to a growing body of high-grade surface results that investors may be watching as the company advances toward a Phase I drill programme.

Key Points

  • Sranan Gold Corp. (CSE: SRAN | OTCQB: SRANF | FSE: P84)
  • Trench 26LACH-008 at the 101 Zone returned 3 metres grading 20.89 g/t Au, including 1 metre at 55.04 g/t Au
  • Grab samples from the 101 Zone returned up to 57.58 g/t Au; the company plans to mobilise drilling equipment in early 2027
  • Investors may be watching how ongoing trenching between the 101 Zone and Bodoe Zone shapes drill target definition

High-Grade Channel and Grab Sample Results at the 101 Zone

The 3-metre interval from trench 26LACH-008 comprises three consecutive 1-metre channel samples grading 55.04, 3.96, and 3.66 g/t Au, for a composite of 20.89 g/t Au. The release states this interval lies along northwest-southeast trending shear zones associated with highly weathered saprolitic basalts cut by sheeted quartz veins. Grab samples collected in the same area returned 57.58 g/t Au, 4.62 g/t Au, 4.50 g/t Au, and 4.14 g/t Au. The company notes that grab and rock-chip samples are selective in nature and may not represent average grades across the mineralised zone.

Structural Setting and MUD® SAR Fracture-Density Model

Sranan Gold has incorporated a property-scale fracture-density model generated using Auracle's MUD® SAR remote-sensing technology. The disclosure states the model outlines zones of interpreted structural complexity across Lawatino and the surrounding district, highlighting a predominantly northwest-southeast regional structural fabric consistent with the Central Guiana Shear Zone. The company notes this structural trend aligns with gold mineralisation observed at both the 101 and Bodoe Zones, and that Lawatino lies immediately west of Founders Metals' Antino Project along the same regional corridor. Mineralisation on nearby properties is not necessarily indicative of mineralisation at Lawatino.

Exploration Progress Along the 1.5-Kilometre Trend Toward Drilling

Geological crews are continuing to excavate trenches and systematically sample exposures along the approximately 1.5-kilometre northwest-southeast trend connecting the 101 Zone and the Bodoe Zone. The company's stated objective is to define the distribution, scale, and structural controls of gold mineralisation to support drill target selection. Subject to exploration results, logistics, and other customary considerations, the release states Sranan currently plans to commence mobilisation of drilling equipment to Lawatino in early 2027.
