Edmonton, Alberta - February 19, 2026
Sranan Gold Corp. (CSE: SRAN) (OTCQB: SRANF) (FSE: P84) (Tradegate: P84) announces significant assay results from its ongoing 2026 diamond drilling program at the Randy's Pit target. These results highlight the continued extension of gold mineralization at this site, which is part of the +4.5-kilometre Poeketi Shear Zone (PSZ) within Sranan's extensive 29,000-hectare Tapanahony Gold Project.
Drilling Highlights
Drill hole 26RADD-023 revealed 30 metres of 0.67 grams per tonne gold starting at 99 metres downhole, including a peak of 12.53 g/t Au over one metre. This hole was strategically designed to evaluate the up-dip extension of mineralization previously encountered in holes 25RADD-013 and 25RADD-004, thereby confirming the vertical continuity of the mineralization.
Another notable result came from hole 26RADD-021, which showed an average of 6.58 g/t Au over four metres, with a remarkable single metre grading 21.8 g/t Au. Hole 26RADD-022 contained a significant 20.6 metres of 0.64 g/t Au starting from the surface.
Drill hole 26RADD-020 was aimed at bridging the structural and mineralized gap between the northern and southern sections of Randy's Pit, successfully correlating with mineralization found in previous southern drill holes.
Geological Insights
The PSZ, which is the host for gold mineralization in Randy's Pit, is characterized as a mylonitic shear zone intersecting folded and strained basalt. The oblique dextral reverse shear zone at Randy's Pit exhibits a northwest plunge of higher-grade mineralization along the shear fabric. Visible gold has frequently been observed on shear planes within the core samples.
Ongoing Exploration and Future Plans
Dr. Dennis J. LaPoint, Executive Vice President of Exploration and Business Development, stated that the drilling process is progressing effectively, yielding positive results. “We are expanding the Randy's Pit target northward through trenching and drilling, confirming that the PSZ is a rich gold system with multiple ore shoots and favorable widths at shallow depths,” he added. The exploration is planned to extend both deeper and further south.
Samples were processed and analyzed by Filab in Paramaribo, Suriname, adhering to rigorous QA/QC standards. Dr. LaPoint, a qualified person under National Instrument 43-101, has reviewed the technical information presented in this release.
Sranan Gold is focused on mineral exploration and asset acquisition in Suriname, with its flagship Tapanahony Project located in one of the country’s most prolific artisanal gold mining regions. The company has also recently acquired the 18,468-hectare Lawatino Project, which is situated along the Central Guiana Shear Zone.
