Miata Metals Corp. has begun a 10,000-meter diamond drill program at the Sela Creek Gold Project in Suriname, targeting the Stranger site. Promising sample results from 2024-2025 have identified a significant mineralized zone. Following initial drilling, the company will explore additional targets, improving their exploration capacity at the project site.
Miata Metals Corp. has officially initiated a 10,000-meter diamond drilling program at the Sela Creek Gold Project located in Suriname. The exploration primarily focuses on the Stranger target which is a significant site within the central mineralized corridor. Recent positive results from surface sampling during 2024 and 2025 have led the company to this drilling phase.
Key highlights of the drill program include the identification of a sheared zone characterized by intense veining and silicification at the Stranger target. The company plans to execute three drill holes at this site before transitioning to the Puma and Golden Hand targets.
Mineralized grab samples collected at the Stranger target are found within a roughly 30-meter-wide zone that exhibits intense shearing, alteration, and veining. Dr. Jaap Verbaas, CEO of Miata, indicated that initiating this drill program marks a crucial achievement. He expressed confidence in their ability to find gold at depth, confirming the mineralization is in-situ.
Furthermore, the operational update reveals that the Major Drilling crew is actively testing the Stranger target. Preparations to commence drilling at the Puma and Golden Hand targets are underway, alongside the rapid development of the Miata camp aimed to accommodate 35 personnel and multiple drilling operations.
The scientific technical data presented in this release has received the approval of Dr. Jacob Verbaas, a qualified professional per National Instrument 43-101 regulations. It is important to note that grab samples only provide selective and indicative mineralization evidence.
