Sranan Gold (CSE:SRAN) has provided more gold assays from sampling at its Lawantino Gold Project in Suriname, including 39.55 grams per tonne gold (Au) over 1m at the 101 zone.
The latest results also include 1.29g/t Au over 4m at the Bodoe zone, located approximately 1.5km from the 101 zone.
“These results are an encouraging follow-up to our first phase of exploration at Lawantino and support the observations we made when we initially identified the 101 and Bodoe zones,” Sranan Gold CEO Oscar Louzada says.
In July, Sranan reported results from a 43-sample reconnaissance program at Lawantino, including an assay of up to 101.5g/t Au from the 101 zone.
The company has since moved towards systematic trenching and channel sampling to better define the distribution, scale, and structural controls of gold mineralisation between the two zones.
Historical mining areas
The 101 and Bodoe zones represent two historical surface mining areas located along a 1.5km trend.
According to Sranan, the latest assay results support its interpretation of a gold-bearing structural corridor extending across the Lawantino Project.
LiDAR-derived lineaments, which the company interprets as potentially reflecting underlying shear structures, display a predominantly northwest-southeast orientation around the two sampled zones.
Historical alluvial gold workings in this part of the property follow a broadly similar orientation over approximately 4km and are spatially associated with the interpreted shear-zone corridor, according to Sranan.
The company says the structural orientation is broadly parallel to the regional Central Guiana shear zone, which it considers an important regional control on gold mineralisation.
Sranan says the regional structure is associated with active gold exploration projects in Suriname, including Founders Metals’ (TSX-V:FDR) Antino Gold Project.
“The 39.55 g/t gold result at the 101 zone demonstrates why we believe this trend warrants aggressive follow-up exploration,” Louzada says.
Initial drilling targeted for late 2026
Exploration is also continuing across the broader 18,468-hectare Lawantino property.
Sranan is undertaking geological mapping, surface sampling, evaluation of historical artisanal mining areas, and interpretation of remote-sensing data to identify and rank additional targets for follow-up work.
The company plans to advance its highest-priority targets through further surface exploration in preparation for an initial drill program, with mobilisation targeted for late 2026.
Sranan Gold is an explorer engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mineral property assets in Suriname, including the 29,000-hectare Tapanahony Project.
