In this episode, we chat with Oscar Louzada and Rayiez Bhoelan of Sranan Gold, who are a Canadian exploration company advancing the Tapanahony Project in Suriname's Guiana Shield, targeting multimillion-ounce gold deposits.

They give us an overview of the company and their Tapanahony Gold Project, Suirname as a mining jurisdiction, their collaboration with Dr. Dennis LaPoint, and how they are engaging with local communities.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Sranan Gold is a Canadian exploration company focused on advancing the Tapanahony project in Suriname, a region known for its rich artisanal gold mining and potential for significant mineral deposits.
• The team at Sranan Gold, including local geologist Reyes Bellini, emphasises the importance of understanding the unique geological and environmental conditions of Suriname, which enhances their exploration efforts.
• Sranan Gold is committed to engaging with local communities, particularly the Ugan Maroon Nation, by creating job opportunities, respecting local customs, and ensuring that any future mining benefits the local population.
• The Tapanahony Gold Project is located in a highly fertile area for gold mineralisation, with the potential to host multiple significant gold deposits, making it an attractive site for exploration.

BEST MOMENTS

"We decided to set up our own little shop... ended up in Suriname, a country where very little exploration had been done before, but a country with great artisanal gold mining."

"The  Tapanahony Gold Project... has the potential to host 5 to 10 kilometers long zones of gold mineralization."

"Suriname is an overall mining-friendly country... we have the right geology for world-class gold deposits and many other metals."

"We are always respecting their laws and their customs... if and whenever we discover a substantial mine, it'll also be to the benefit of the local community first."
