MIATA METALS HITS GOLD IN TWO ADDITIONAL TARGETS WITH 5.3 M AT 6.57 G/T GOLD AT PUMA AND 14M AT 1.72 G/T GOLD AT GOLDEN HAND

Miata Metals Corp. has released significant drill results from two different targets at its Sela Creek gold project in Suriname. Results include near-surface, high-grade mineralization in hard rock at the Puma target and wide mineralized intervals at depth at the Golden Hand target, further demonstrating the district-scale potential of Sela Creek.

Highlights:

• Drilling at the Puma target yielded another shallow high-grade intercept in 25DDH-SEL-030 of 5.3 metres at 6.57 grams per tonne gold from 37.3 m (1) in hard rock, including:
  • 2.5 m at 13.10 g/t gold from 37.7 m; and
  • 0.5 m at 51.16 g/t gold from 39.7 m.
• The intercept projects to a surface adit approximately 60 m away that has previously yielded grab samples of up to 194.2 g/t gold. Drilling at the Golden Hand target yielded an intercept in 25DDH-SEL-031 of 14 m at 1.72 g/t gold from 164 m (1), including:
  • Four m at 4.85 g/t gold from 174 m; and
  • 1.2 m at 7.8 g/t gold from 174.8 m.

"These latest results highlight excellent progress at Sela Creek," stated Dr. Jaap Verbaas, chief executive officer of Miata Metals. "At Puma, we are seeing bonanza-grade mineralization in bedrock directly tied to artisanal workings, which provides us with valuable structural insights to guide follow-up drilling. At Golden Hand, broader mineralized halos with higher-grade cores point to excellent potential for both grade and width. With four confirmed targets now showing the types of grades and widths typical of orogenic gold systems, we are confident that Sela Creek has the potential to host multiple, gold-bearing pits. Our technical team is doing excellent work simultaneously, proving up multiple targets as we advance drilling, trenching and auger sampling to unlock further discoveries across this underexplored goldfield."

Puma

Drill hole 25DDH-SEL-030 intersected an interval of crack-seal veining including 0.5 m at 51.16 g/t gold from 39.7 m, and 0.5 m at 10.4 g/t Au from 38.2 m. The mineralization plunges along a fold axial plane and a tonalite contact, providing valuable structural controls for future targeting. This intercept projects directly to a nearby artisanal adit (approximately 60 m away) that previously yielded grab samples of up to 194.2 g/t gold, confirming continuity between surface workings and subsurface mineralization.

To date, Miata has completed 1,850 m of drilling at Puma. Except for one hole (SEL-026), all holes intersected gold-bearing zones, providing critical information for planning further drilling and trenching across the 2.7-kilometre strike length of the target.

Golden Hand

At the Golden Hand target, follow-up drilling on hole 25DDH-SEL-016 with hole 25DDH-SEL-031 yielded an interval of 14 m at 1.72 g/t Au from 164 m, including four m at 4.85 g/t Au from 174 m. The interval is preceded by approximately 20 m of low-grade mineralization, suggesting a wide mineralized halo surrounding higher-grade cores. Structural measurements indicate the zone projects toward a nearby artisanal mining pit, providing a strong follow-up target. Decades of artisanal (2) mining have already proved Sela Creek's high-grade potential at surface, and Miata's drilling is now confirming multiple mineralized zones at depth.

The company is now re-evaluating the Jons trend target, where drilling by a previous operator intersected 42 metres averaging 1.22 g/t gold. Incorporating new geological insights from recent drilling and historical core, the company is now testing the target from a different angle and along strike to better assess its potential.

All drill results are available on the company website.

Quality assurance/quality control

Samples were analyzed at Filab Suriname, a commercial certified laboratory under ISO 9001:2015. Samples are crushed and pulverized to 85 per cent passing 88 micrometres prior to analysis using a 50-gram fire assay (50-gram aliquot) with an atomic absorption finish. For samples that return assay values over 5.0 grams per tonne, another cut was taken from the original pulp and fire assayed with a gravimetric finish. Miata Metals inserts certified reference standards in the sample sequence for quality control.
