Executive Summary

  • Miata Metals Corp. reported significant drill results from two targets at its Sela Creek gold project in Suriname: Puma and Golden Hand.
  • At the Puma target, drill hole 25DDH-SEL-030 intersected a shallow, high-grade interval of 5.3 meters at 6.57 g/t gold, including a high-grade core of 0.5 meters at 51.16 g/t gold.
  • At the Golden Hand target, drill hole 25DDH-SEL-031 intersected a wide mineralized interval of 14 meters at 1.72 g/t gold from depth, including 4 meters at 4.85 g/t gold.

Key Details

  • Puma Target (Hole 25DDH-SEL-030):
    • Intercepted 5.3 meters at 6.57 g/t gold from 37.3 meters (true width unknown).
    • Included 2.5 meters at 13.10 g/t gold from 37.7 meters.
    • Included 0.5 meters at 51.16 g/t gold from 39.7 meters.
    • The intercept projects to a surface adit ~60m away that previously yielded grab samples up to 194.2 g/t gold.
    • Mineralization consists of crack-seal veining plunging along a fold axial plane and tonalite contact.
    • Total drilling at Puma to date is 1,850 meters; all holes except SEL-026 intersected gold-bearing zones.
  • Golden Hand Target (Hole 25DDH-SEL-031):
    • Intercepted 14 meters at 1.72 g/t gold from 164 meters (true width unknown).
    • Included 4 meters at 4.85 g/t gold from 174 meters.
    • Included 1.2 meters at 7.8 g/t gold from 174.8 meters.
    • The interval is preceded by ~20 meters of low-grade mineralization, suggesting a wide halo around higher-grade cores.
    • Zone projects toward a nearby artisanal mining pit.
  • Jons Trend Target:
    • Company is re-evaluating this target after previous operator intersected 42 meters averaging 1.22 g/t gold.
    • Testing is being conducted from a different angle and along strike based on new geological insights.
  • Quality Assurance/Quality Control:
    • Samples analyzed at Filab Suriname (ISO 9001:2015 certified).
    • Method: 50-gram fire assay with atomic absorption finish; gravimetric finish used for samples >5.0 g/t.

Notable Quotes

  • "These latest results highlight excellent progress at Sela Creek... At Puma, we are seeing bonanza-grade mineralization in bedrock directly tied to artisanal workings... At Golden Hand, broader mineralized halos with higher-grade cores point to excellent potential for both grade and width." — Dr. Jaap Verbaas, CEO
