Miata Intersects 11.3 m at 3.58 g/t Gold and Further Expands Jons Trend Footprint at the Sela Creek Gold Project, Suriname

MMET · Price

Executive Summary

  • First four holes of the 2026 drill program expanded the Jons Trend mineralized footprint by ~20%, increasing lateral extent from 250 m to 300 m.
  • Multiple high‑grade intercepts were intersected, including two >30 g/t Au zones (0.7 m @ 31.37 g/t and 0.9 m @ 30.40 g/t).
  • Bulk‑tonnage intervals of ≥1 g/t Au were also confirmed, supporting the view that Jons Trend is evolving into a district‑scale gold system with significant upside.

Key Details

  • Hole 26DDH-JT-001 – 32 m @ 1.20 g/t Au from 50 m; includes 8.7 m @ 2.47 g/t (63–73 m) and 8.7 m @ 3.47 g/t Au (126–136 m); high‑grade sub‑interval 0.7 m @ 31.37 g/t Au at 128.16 m.
  • Hole 26DDH-JT-002 – 11.3 m @ 3.58 g/t Au from 180 m; includes 4.7 m @ 7.86 g/t (180–185 m) and 0.9 m @ 30.40 g/t Au at 181 m.
  • Hole 26DDH-JT-004 – 17.3 m @ 1.65 g/t Au from 39 m; additional intervals of 8.2 m @ 1.99 g/t, 5.2 m @ 1.78 g/t, 6.1 m @ 1.36 g/t, and 1.7 m @ 3.38 g/t.
  • Lateral Extent: Jons Trend now spans ~300 m, a 20% increase over previous drilling.
  • Structural Context: Mineralization hosted in tightly folded metasedimentary rocks (upper greenschist to lower amphibolite facies) with two intersecting shear‑zone orientations providing structural traps.
  • QA/QC: Samples assayed by FILAB Suriname (ISO 9001:2015); fire assay with AA finish; gravimetric finish for >5 g/t Au; metallic screen analysis for coarse gold. Certified reference standards, blanks and duplicates included.
  • Qualified Person: Dr. Jacob Verbaas, P.Geo., Director & QP, NI 43‑101 reviewed the technical information.

Notable Quotes

“With each successive drill hole, Jons Trend is growing in size from a single discovery zone into a large, structurally controlled gold system of multiple gold zones with both bulk‑tonnage potential and discrete high‑grade zones… The previously reported wide step‑outs and now confirmed 300 m lateral extent demonstrate strong lateral continuity…” – Dr. Jaap Verbaas, CEO & Director, Miata Metals Corp.
