PRESS RELEASE
Sranan Gold Drilling Continues to Expand Randy’s Pit Target
Randy’s Pit Extended 25 Metres to the Northwest with 20.6 Metres At 0.64 g/t Gold and
50 Metres to the Southeast with 6.58 g/t Gold over 4 Metres
EDMONTON, AB, CANADA – February 19, 2026 – Sranan Gold Corp. (CSE: SRAN) (OTCQB:
SRANF) (FSE & Tradegate: P84) (“Sranan” or the “Company”) announces assay results from its
ongoing 2026 diamond drilling program currently focused on the Randy’s Pit target . These results
continue to extend Randy’s Pit gold mineralization with significant near -surface assay results
returned (Table 1). Randy’s Pit lies along the +4.5 -kilometre Poeketi Shear Zone (“PSZ”) which
represents one shear zone on Sranan’s 29,000-hectare Tapanahony Gold Project.
Drill hole 26RADD-023 encountered 30 metres (“m”) of 0.67 grams per tonne gold (“g/t Au”) starting
at 99 m downhole and including a one metre interval assaying 12.53 g/t Au from 106 m. The hole
was designed to test the up -dip extension of the significant mineralization intersected at depth in
holes 25RADD -013 and 25RADD -004, successfully assessing the vertical continuity within the
established PSZ (Figure 2). In drill hole 26RADD-021, an interval of 4 metres averaged 6.58 g/t Au,
including one metre grading 21.8 g/t Au. Hole 26RADD-022 contained a 20.6 m interval of 0.64 g/t
Au starting from surface. Drill hole 26RADD-020 tested the structural and mineralized gap between
the northern and southern portions of the Randy’s Pit target. The mineralization intersected in this
hole correlates well with mineralization encountered in the southernmost drill holes, supporting
structural continuity across the target area.

The PSZ, which hosts the known gold mineralization at Randy’s Pit, is a mylonitic shear zone cutting
folded and strained basalt . At Randy’s Pit, the PSZ is an oblique dextral reverse shear zone with
the main higher-grade mineralization plunging northwest along the shear fabric . PSZ shows
progressive strain with pre and post shear extensional vein sets and visible gold often seen on shear
planes in the core.

Dr. Dennis J. LaPoint, Executive Vice President of Exploration and Business Development, notes
that the current drilling is progressing well with positive drill results and efficient drilling. “We are
expanding the Randy’s Pit target to the north with trenching and drilling and the PSZ continues to be
a well mineralized gold system with multiple ore shoots, high grades, favorable widths at shallow
depths and frequent visible gold seen in core. Further drilling will extend to depth and to the south.”

Samples were prepared and assayed by Filab in Paramaribo, Suriname. All samples >2 g/t were re-
assayed with 50 gm re -assay and gravimetric assay. Standard QA/QC procedures were followed
and showed a satisfactory level of reproducibility. The Company notes that the drill intercepts may
not represent true underlying mineralization as core sample intervals are used . Core logging and
photography and sampling are completed under industry standard QA/QC protocols (Oreas certified
reference materials, assayed coarse blanks, duplicates of core).
