Miata Doubles Mineralized Footprint at Jons Trend with a 500m Step Out in Hole 039 and Highlights 54 m at 1.04 g/t Au in Hole 043

Executive Summary

• Miata Metals released extensive drill results from the Jons Trend Zone at Sela Creek, confirming gold mineralization over a 750 m × 250 m corridor to 200 m depth and expanding the known footprint by >100 % with a 500 m step‑out.
• Multiple holes returned wide, high‑grade intercepts (e.g., 4.9 m @ 4.04 g/t Au; 54 m @ 1.04 g/t Au) and the program met its 2025 target of >10 km drilled, with additional 2,755 m pending assay.
• Management highlighted the potential for an open‑pit resource and announced a fully funded two‑rig drilling program for Q1 2026 to accelerate discovery across Sela Creek.

Key Details

• Drill Program Scope: 10,061 m drilled in 2025 (target met); 2,755 m of results pending.
• Step‑Out Success: Hole 25DDH‑SEL‑039 (500 m step‑out) delivered 4.9 m @ 4.04 g/t Au and 13.6 m @ 0.80 g/t Au, confirming strike continuity and doubling the known mineralized footprint.
• Notable Intercepts:
• Hole 25DDH‑SEL‑043 – 54 m @ 1.04 g/t Au; 3.4 m @ 1.12 g/t Au
• Hole 25DDH‑SEL‑038 – 53.6 m @ 0.84 g/t Au
• Hole 25DDH‑SEL‑044 – 18.9 m @ 1.01 g/t Au; 5.4 m @ 2.29 g/t Au
• Hole 25DDH‑SEL‑045 – 9 m @ 0.79 g/t Au; 16.5 m @ 0.83 g/t Au; 4.4 m @ 3.13 g/t Au
• Hole 25DDH‑SEL‑046 – 34 m @ 1.05 g/t Au; 12 m @ 1.15 g/t Au
• Overall Continuity: Every hole intersected gold, many with multiple subparallel zones; mineralization open along strike and to depth (average drill depth ~134 m, max 200 m).
• Geophysical Insight: Magnetic inversion suggests primary structures (e.g., Central Guyana Shear Zone) extend to >1.5 km depth, implying potential deeper mineralization.
• QA/QC: Samples assayed by FILAB Suriname (ISO 9001:2015); fire‑assay with AA finish; high‑grade samples re‑assayed gravimetrically; QA includes blanks, duplicates, and certified standards.
• Qualified Person: Dr. Jacob Verbaas, P.Geo., Director & QP under NI 43‑101 reviewed the technical information.

Notable Quotes

“The drilling at Jons Trend continues to deliver significant mineralization across a large footprint that is entirely open, which supports the potential for a future open‑pit resource at Sela Creek,” – Dr. Jacob Verbaas, CEO & Director.

“Our objective in 2026 is to demonstrate that Sela Creek is the next major gold district in Suriname.” – Dr. Jacob Verbaas.
