Sranan Gold's Lawatino Reconnaissance Sampling Program Returns Grab Sample Assays of up to 101.5 G/t Gold

(CSE: SRAN) (OTCQB: SRANF) Sranan Gold Corp. reported high-grade gold assays from the first batch of samples from its Lawatino Property, located in Suriname. The initial results from the Phase I reconnaissance program included numerous assays greater than 1 gram per tonne ("g/t") gold, with one sample grading 101.5 g/t gold from a mineralized quartz vein. Eleven samples grading greater than 1 g/t Au were part of the first batch of 43 assays received, and additional samples graded between 0.17 and 0.24 g/t Au. The 101 and Bodoe Zones, where the +1 g/t gold grab samples were collected, are separated by approximately 1.5 kilometres along a northwest-southeast direction. The Lawatino Property covers 18,468 hectares, and Sranan is also drilling its 29,000-hectare Tapanahony Project. The company projects that over the next few weeks, an excavator will be mobilized onto the Property to expose the extent of the gold mineralization at the 101 and Bodoe Zones and to cut regularly spaced trenches along the 1.5-kilometre trend separating the two zones. No data quality problems were indicated by Filab's QA/QC program, and all samples were processed and assayed by Filab, a Bureau Veritas Certified Laboratory (under ISO 9001:2015).

Strategic Investor Sprinter LLC to Increase Position in Fairchild Gold to Become Company's Largest Shareholder

(TSXV: FAIR) Fairchild Gold Corp. announced it expects to close a first tranche of approximately C$1.2 million under a non-brokered private placement financing for aggregate gross proceeds of up to C$1.8 million. The Offering is being led and supported by Sprinter LLC, an existing significant investor in Fairchild, and is expected to result in Sprinter becoming Fairchild's largest shareholder.

Brasnova Energy Materials Inc. Capela Gold Project Returns up to 4.13 G/t Gold From Rock Chip Sampling

(TSXV: BEM) Brasnova Energy Materials Inc. announced analytical results from 23 rock chip samples collected from surface at the Capela Gold Project in Pintadas, Bahia, Brazil. Twenty-two of the 23 samples returned gold values ranging from 0.241 g/t Au to 4.13 g/t Au, confirming a mineralized north-south-trending corridor approximately 120 meters long and up to 25 meters wide. Additional notable results include 1.734 g/t Au, 1.435 g/t Au, and 1.170 g/t Au. The mineralized trend defined by the current rock chip sampling remains open to the north and south along strike and laterally to the east and west. Analytical results indicate enrichment in gold (Au), copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), lead (Pb), silver (Ag), arsenic (As), and molybdenum (Mo). Samples were submitted to SGS laboratory in Vespasiano, Minas Gerais, Brazil, for preparation and geochemical analysis, with all results passing the Company's internal QA/QC verification. The company projects further delineation of the potential extent of the mineralization through stream sediment sampling and additional ground geochemical and geophysical surveys.

Rise Gold Provides Details on Upcoming Tungsten and Gold Drilling Program at Idaho-Maryland Mine

(CSE: RISE) (OTCQB: RYES) Rise Gold Corp. announced it is commencing a tungsten and gold exploration drilling program at the Idaho-Maryland Gold Project located in Nevada County, California. The company plans to drill eight core holes totaling approximately 11,400 feet of drilling from two locations. The I-M Mine operated nearly continuously from 1862 to 1957, producing an estimated 2.4 million ounces of gold at an average mill head grade of 0.50 ounces per ton (17.1 grams per tonne). By the early 1940s, the I-M Mine was the second-largest gold producer in the United States. In 1954, the operator began exploring for tungsten under a program sponsored by the U.S. Department of Defense, and by December 1955, all mining and milling of gold was discontinued in favor of tungsten production. China currently produces 84% of the global tungsten supply and in February 2025 announced restrictions on tungsten exports. The company projects that the Idaho-Maryland Mine may also be important as a potential source of tungsten, a critical metal for the U.S. military.
