Exciting Drilling Results from Miata Metals
Miata Metals Corp. (CSE: MMET) (FSE: 8NQ) (OTCQB: MMETF) has announced promising updates from its ongoing drilling program at the Jons Trend Zone, part of the Sela Creek Gold Project. These latest results are generating excitement among investors and stakeholders, further solidifying the project’s potential for a significant gold discovery.
Overview of the Latest Findings
Recent drilling efforts, particularly from holes 25DDH-SEL-037 through 25DDH-SEL-046, have confirmed a robust presence of gold mineralization in a substantial corridor measuring approximately 750 meters by 250 meters. Notably, the continuity of this mineralization has been validated by a significant 500-meter step-out, which not only reaffirms the existing footprint but more than doubles it.
Key Highlights from the Drill Results
- A 500m step-out in hole 25DDH-SEL-039 returned impressive results, featuring intervals of 4.9 meters at a grade of 4.04 g/t gold and 13.6 meters at 0.8 g/t gold.
- Every drilled hole in the Jons Trend has displayed gold mineralization, with many intersecting multiple gold-bearing zones.
- The consistent gold mineralization stretches now continuously over a 750m x 250m area, which is open in multiple directions.
- Additional wide mineralized intervals recorded include 54 m at 1.04 g/t gold and 3.4 m at 1.12 g/t gold from hole 25DDH-SEL-043.
- To date, Miata has drilled about 10,061 meters in 2025, successfully meeting its drilling targets for the year. Reassuringly, additional results from 2,755 meters of drilling are still pending.
Drilling Continues to Uncover Opportunities
The drilling activities at Jons Trend are consistently revealing promising intervals of gold mineralization within a highly deformed quartz-pyrite-pyrrhotite vein system. This geological environment is known for its continuity, which is crucial for developing a bulk-tonnage mining prospect.
Assessment of Geological Structure
Employing advanced geophysical data, the team has made significant observations indicating that the main structural components of the Sela Creek area, notably the Central Guyana Shear Zone, are extending down to depths of up to 1.5 kilometers. This insight leads to the optimistic hypothesis that gold mineralization could persist at these depths, presenting further exploration opportunities.
Ongoing Exploration and Future Plans
“With all drill holes intersecting gold mineralization, Jons Trend is swiftly emerging as a prominent zone within the Sela Creek project,” commented Dr. Jacob Verbaas, CEO of Miata Metals. He emphasizes the importance of the ongoing exploration efforts in delineating project-wide controls over the gold mineralization. As the company prepares to ramp up its discovery-focused programs in the upcoming period, they foresee an accelerated exploration with a fully funded two-rig system that will tackle various prospects simultaneously.
Looking Ahead
In 2026, Miata Metals' objective will be to unveil the full potential of Sela Creek as a major gold district within Suriname. Their systematic approach and strategic drilling plans are expected to reveal new, high-potential targets that could lead to significant gold discoveries.
