Miata Metals Confirms Gold in Bedrock at the Sela Creek Gold Project in Suriname
(PresseBox) - Miata Metals Corp. (CSE: MMET) - https://www.commodity-tv.com/play/miata-metals-strong-share-price-performance-drilling-program-at-sela-creek-about-to-start/ - (FSE: 8NQ) (OTCQB:MMETF) (“Miata” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce the results for the first nine holes that have been drilled on its planned 10,000m core drilling program at the Sela Creek Gold Project in Suriname (“Sela Creek”). The total project area covers 215 km2.
The Phase 1 inaugural drill program targeted the Golden Hand zone and resulted in an orogenic gold discovery, consisting of multiple veins with near-surface gold. These early drill results account for 15% of the planned drill program with approximately 8,500m remaining to be drilled. Golden Hand represents only 2 km of strike within a broader 8 km corridor of active and historic artisanal mining. It is the first of seven high-priority targets identified to-date within the concession. As drilling progresses, Golden Hand will be assessed both as an open pit and underground mineralized system. Less than 10% of the artisanal mining area of Sela Creek has been drill-tested at depth, leaving ample room for further discovery.
Given that Golden Hand has never been drilled, Miata’s technical team is gaining valuable insights into the bedrock mineralogy, significantly improving their understanding of the structural controls. This knowledge will also be applied across the remaining six targets to enhance the precision and effectiveness of the ongoing 10,000m drill program.
“We are pleased to announce assays for our first nine drill holes, accounting for the first 1,447m of our 10,000m drill program,” stated Dr. Jacob Verbaas, CEO of Miata. “Our results include several shallow intercepts of gold-bearing structures in bedrock such as 7.5m at 1.05 g/t Au from 13.5m and 2m at 4.72 g/t Au from 19.3m. This area now represents a compelling open-pit target. We continue to use this valuable data to vector towards the core of the Golden Hand target, where four holes have already been drilled with assays pending. We look forward to results of the continued drilling and expanding the drill targeting to the six other high-priority targets on Sela Creek.”
Results
The results of these first 9 holes indicate that the predictive vein model accurately identified locally significant vein arrays, as indicated by the 2.71 g/t Au over 3.85m in hole 6 and the 5.46 g/t Au over 1.5m in hole 8. Several holes have yielded more than one gold intercept, in particular hole 8 that yielded three individual gold mineralized intercepts, all within 100m from surface. Lower grade gold mineralization exist between some of the higher grade numbers.

Quality Assurance and Quality Control
Samples were sent to a certified laboratory in Paramaribo for analysis. Samples of hole 1 – 4 were analysed by fire assay in 30g aliquots. The remainder of the samples were analysed by fire assay of 50g aliquots. Any samples yielding over 10 g/t Au were also analysed through gravimetry and select samples with visible (coarse) gold were analysed using metallic screen. The Company and the lab insert standards, duplicates and blanks at regular intervals. All QAQC samples fall within acceptable values.
