Now, the drills on Sranan Gold’s (CSE SRAN / WKN A416C1) Tapanahony gold project should really be turning in the immediate future! The company’s teams – geologists, logistics personnel, and drilling crews – are working flat out on the property in Suriname to complete the final preparations.
As the company, which aims to follow in the footsteps of Founders Metals with the Tapanahony project, reports, the construction of the infrastructure and the core processing and storage facilities is as good as complete. And two drills that Sranan has purchased, as well as the equipment for the boreholes, are already on site, so drilling activities should begin soon!
An interesting piece of information is that Sranan recently discovered new mining activities by local gold miners in the strike of Rand’s Pit. The company generally uses this as an aid to align its drilling and exploration work and will use these latest findings to identify further, particularly promising drilling targets!
Sranan Gold Has Already Selected Locations for up to 6,000 Meters of Drilling
To date, Sranan Gold has identified locations for drilling totaling up to 6,000 meters on the Randy’s Pit target, at the southern end of the 4.5-kilometer trend to be investigated. These are currently being prepared with the help of excavators.
Later, the company will commence drilling on the north side of the Tapanahony River, once a further assessment has been completed using, among other things, trenching. The drilling locations will then be selected on the basis of ongoing mapping and sampling.
Sranan Gold has selected its target areas on the basis of a combination of Lidar surveys, geophysics, geological interpretation, and exploration data from previous operators. In addition, there is fieldwork and, as the company particularly emphasizes, information based on local artisanal mining. To date, Sranan has identified the areas Randy “s Pit, Randy” s Extension, Randy West, Poeketi Pit, West Poeketi, South Intrusion, Enard North, and Enard South as targets.
The results of the mapping and other activities are fed into special software to enable rapid evaluation. This software will also serve as the foundation for logging and sampling activities.
So everything is ready and the company and its shareholders should be able to herald the start of the promising gold drilling in hopefully just a few days! We’ll keep you posted.
