Miata Metals Initiates Diamond Drilling Program at Sela Creek Gold Project
Miata Metals Corp. has launched a 10,000 meter diamond drilling program at the Sela Creek Gold Project in Suriname, focusing on the high-potential Stranger target. The initiative follows positive previous sampling results, with plans to expand drilling to include Puma and Golden Hand targets. The company continues to develop its operational camp to support these activities strategically.
Miata Metals Corp., a mineral exploration company based in Canada, has initiated a 10,000 meter diamond drill program at its Sela Creek Gold Project in Suriname. The company is currently testing the Stranger target, which is one of the primary prospects located within the central mineralized corridor of Sela Creek. Notable geological features such as intense shearing and silicification are present, and previous surface sampling has produced positive results since 2024.
The drilling campaign will initially focus on three holes at the Stranger site before progressing to the Puma and Golden Hand targets. The mineralized grab samples from the Stranger target are indicative of a 30-meter-wide zone characterized by intense shearing, alteration, and veining. Dr. Jaap Verbaas, CEO of Miata, expressed enthusiasm regarding the drill program’s commencement, highlighting that the Stranger target has consistently yielded favorable gold values in previous sampling efforts.
Currently, Major Drilling personnel are engaged in drill testing at the Stranger target with preparations ongoing for subsequent moves to the Puma and Golden Hand sites. Construction of the Miata camp is advancing, with plans to increase its capacity to accommodate 35 personnel, enabling the expansion of drilling efforts as needed. The company holds a 70% interest in the approximately 215 square kilometer Sela Creek Gold Project, alongside additional interests in several other projects in Suriname and British Columbia.
The scientific and technical details within this announcement have been endorsed by Dr. Jacob Verbaas, P.Geo., signifying his approval under the National Instrument 43-101 standards. Investors should exercise caution as grab samples are selective and primarily serve to confirm mineralization occurrences. Miata Metals is continuously assessing opportunities to enhance its mineral property portfolio as part of its strategic growth.
