Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - May 27, 2026) - Sranan Gold Corp. (CSE: SRAN) (OTCQB: SRANF) (FSE: P84) ("Sranan" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has closed its previously announced non-brokered private placement (the "Offering") for aggregate gross proceeds of $3,589,074.85.
Under the Offering, the Company issued 23,927,165 units (each, a "Unit") at a price of $0.15 per Unit. Each Unit consists of one common share (a "Share") and one-half of one common share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a "Warrant"). Each Warrant entitles the holder to acquire one additional Share at an exercise price of $0.275 for a period of forty-eight (48) months from the closing date.
"We appreciate the strong support shown for this financing - both from new investors and from our existing shareholders," said Oscar Louzada, Chief Executive Officer of Sranan Gold. "This financing fully funds an aggressive 12,500-metre drill program across our Tapanahony Project and allows us to break ground on exploration at Lawatino, where our fracture density modelling has already defined compelling structural targets along the same shear zone driving recent discoveries by our neighbour Founders Metals. We look forward to delivering meaningful results from both projects in the months ahead."
All securities issued under the Offering are subject to a statutory hold period of four months and one day from the closing date, in accordance with applicable Canadian securities laws. The Offering remains subject to the final approval of the Canadian Securities Exchange.
Insider Participation
Ron Shenton, a Director of the Company, participated in the private placement, purchasing a total of 268,000 Units. Such participation constitutes a "related party transaction" within the meaning of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"). The issuance to the insider is exempt from the valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 by virtue of the exemptions contained in sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a), as neither the fair market value of the securities issued to the related party nor the consideration paid by the related party exceeded 25% of the Company's market capitalization.
The Company paid cash finder's fees totalling $106,689 and issued a total of 1,247,257 finder's warrants, in accordance with the policies of the Canadian Securities Exchange. Each finder's warrant entitles the holder to acquire one additional Share at an exercise price of $0.15 for a period of forty-eight (48) months from the closing date.
Use of Proceeds
The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the Offering to advance its Suriname exploration portfolio, support ongoing operations, and fund working capital, general corporate purposes, and marketing initiatives.
At the Company's Tapanahony Project, a 12,500-metre diamond drilling program is ongoing to test the extension of the high-grade gold mineralization at Randy's Pit and to drill the Poeketi Zone, where artisanal miners have recently been accessing high-grade gold veins associated with quartz veining emplaced within the Poeketi Shear Zone.
On February 10, 2026, Sranan announced that it had acquired the Lawatino Gold Project, located adjacent to Founders Metals' Antino Property. Sranan is preparing to commence field work immediately, including geological mapping, prospecting and sampling with the goal of identifying drill targets. As part of its preliminary work, the Company recently completed a fracture density survey over the Lawatino concession, which highlighted extensive zones of structural complexity along the Central Guiana Shear Zone, the same regional structure that hosts Founders Metals' discoveries.

High fracture density (shown in purple in the figure above) is a key indicator of structural preparation favourable for hydrothermal fluid flow and gold mineralization. The model identifies several high-priority target areas within the Lawatino concession that will be the focus of the Company's upcoming field program.
