- The 29,000-hectare Tapanahony Project covers one of the oldest and largest small-scale mining areas in Suriname.
- Active mining by locals has helped identify exploration targets.
- Significant production of gold from saprolite by local miners.
- In 2011-2012, Iamgold drilled a target defined by panning and auger sampling and identified gold mineralization over a strike length of over 600 meters.
- Additional exploration targets have been identified by small-scale miners, geophysics, Lidar and geochemical sampling.
- Small-scale mining is ongoing on and along the Poeketi-Randy pit trend that is the initial focus of drilling.
Tapanahony Gold Project in Suriname.
4.5-km Poeketi-Randy trend at the Tapanahony Project is the focus of Sranan Gold’s exploration program.
Exploration Priorities
- 2025 drilling program to evaluate Poeketi-Randy trend.
- Sampling and mapping near areas of small-scale mining.
- Gold-bearing structural trend still open along strike.
- Further develop other targets based on historical Iamgold data, field review, and recently completed Lidar survey.
- Evaluate areas where there is ongoing small-scale mining and no prior exploration.
- Acquire new adjoining concessions with positive results.
- Evaluate additional properties for potential new acquisitions in Suriname.
