Sranan Makes Application for Management Cease Trade Order

As Part of the 2025 Audit Filing Process

Edmonton, Alberta, January 21, 2026 – Sranan Gold Corp. (CSE: SRAN; OTCQB: SRANF)

(“Sranan ” or the “ Company ”) announces that it anticipates a delay in the filing of its

financial statements, as required pursuant to Part 4 of National Instrument 51 -102 –

Continuous Disclosure Obligations (the “Instrument ”). The potential delay arises from a

joint assessment by the Company and its auditor regarding the time required to complete

the remaining audit procedures and the related review process. The delay is primarily due

to timing issues associated with the Company’s operations in Suriname, including delays in

receiving and reviewing financial information, additional audit procedures required for the

Company’s first audited financial statements following the acquisition of the Suriname

subsidiary, translation of foreign-language documents, approval of a change in fiscal year -

end by Suriname tax authorities, and the determination of appropriate accounting treatment

for a complex acquisition structure.

The Company is currently awaiting clarification on certain tax items in Suriname required to

finalize the tax provision note in the financial statements. The Company remains in ongoing

communication with its auditor to confirm any remaining documentation requirements and

has committed to providing any outstanding materials promptly upon request. Based on

discussions with the Company’s auditor, the Company expects to be in a position to file its

audited financial statements on or before February 27, 2026.

As a precautionary measure, the Company is pursuing a Management Cease Trade Order

(“MCTO”) to provide additional time, if required. Both the Company and its auditors remain

fully committed and are working diligently toward the completion and filing of the financial

statements.

The Instrument requires that the Company’s audited financial statements, management’s

discussion and analysis (“MD&A ”), and Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial

Officer (“CFO”) certifications relating to the audited financial statements for the year ended

September 30, 2025, be filed by January 28, 2026. The Company expects that the audited

financial statements, MD&A, and CEO and CFO certifications relating to the audited

financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2025 (collective ly, the “ Required

Filings ”) will be completed and filed on or before February 27, 2026. The Company expects

to proceed with the filing of its interim first-quarter financial statements on its due date.

In connection with the anticipated delays in making the Required Filings within the time

periods mandated by the Instrument, the Company has made an application under National

Policy 12 -203 Management Cease Trade Orders (“ NP 12- 203”) to the Alberta Securities

Commission, as principal regulator for the Company, requesting that a MCTO be issued. If

granted, the MCTO will restrict all trading by the Company’s CEO and CFO in securities of

the Company, whether direct or indirect. The issuance of the MCTO will not affect the ability

of persons who are not directors, officers or insiders of the Company to trade their

securities. The MCTO will remain in effect until the Required Filings are filed or until it is

revoked or varied.

The Company confirms that it intends to satisfy the provisions of the alternative information

guidelines described in NP 12-203 by issuing bi-weekly default status reports in the form of

a news release until it meets the Required Filings requirement. The Company has not taken

any steps towards any insolvency proceeding and the Company has no material information

relating to its affairs that has not been generally disclosed.
