|
| Wherever they drill, they keep hitting gold.
|
| Not just once...not just in one narrow zone...But across multiple targets, over kilometers of strike, in system after system that keeps delivering.
And that’s what makes this story so compelling right now.
|
| Miata Metals (MMET.CSE; MMETF.OTC) is not chasing a single drill hole miracle.
They’re systematically advancing what may be the largest undeveloped gold trend in Suriname — and one of the most exciting new gold stories anywhere in the Guiana Shield.
|
| And the deeper and wider they go, the more convincing it becomes.
|
| On the Ground in Suriname
|
| If you’ve followed gold exploration long enough, you’ve seen this movie before.
Artisanal miners swarm an area. They dig shallow pits. They pull gold out of the saprolite — the soft, weathered rock near surface.
And then they stop. Not because the gold ends, but because the pits flood when they hit fresh, hard rock.
That’s exactly what Miata is seeing across its Sela Creek project in Suriname.
|
| Miles of old artisanal workings...thousands of shallow pits...and clear proof that gold mineralization continues below, untouched, in fresh bedrock.
|
| You see, saprolite is weathered bedrock that hasn’t moved. So if miners are pulling gold from saprolite, it almost always means the gold continues below. That’s the opportunity Miata is exploiting at this moment on Sela Creek.

Miata’s Sela Creek project appears to be the latest discovery along the Central Guiana Shear Zone — and because of its early stage, it’s still valued at just a small fraction of the other discoveries.
|
| A Massive, Underexplored Gold System
|
| Miata controls an extremely large, 215-square-kilometer land package in the heart of the Guiana Shield — one of the most productive gold belts on Earth.
|
| Within that massive property sits a gold trend stretching roughly 14 kilometers along strike, clearly marked by countless pits dug by artisanal miners pulling gold out of the ground.
|
| To put that in perspective, the size of this anomaly alone is comparable to the scale of other multi-million-ounce gold camps in Suriname and neighboring Guyana and Venezuela, as you can see in the map above.
And yet, only a tiny fraction of this trend has ever been drill tested as, until recently, most of this ground had seen little more than artisanal mining and scattered historical work.
Miata is helping to change that, and quickly.
|
| From “Trying to Find Something”
To “Finding Something Everywhere”
|
| Last year, Miata completed just over 10,000 meters of drilling.
Despite the encouraging results wherever they drilled, the goal wasn’t to rush to a resource — it was to understand the system.
They felt they needed to figure out the geometry and geology — to identify the best trends in three dimensions.
The work paid off, because once the team cracked the code, the results started stacking up.
At the Jons Trend — Miata’s most advanced discovery — drilling has now outlined a mineralized corridor roughly 750 meters long by 250 meters wide, and still wide open in all directions.
The results have outlined wide zones of bulk-tonnage mineralization with higher-grade shoots stacked within the system.
To get a flavor of how rich and extensive this zone is, consider these results [1]:
|
| • 35.6 meters grading about 3 grams per tonne gold
• 22.7 meters at 2.23 grams per tonne gold
• 57 meters at 1.01 grams per tonne gold
• And a standout interval of 4.3 meters at 12.49 grams per tonne gold, including over 29 grams per tonne over 1.3 meters.
|
| Importantly, almost every hole drilled at Jons Trend has hit gold [1]. This first zone has transformed Miata from a company that was trying to find something to a company that’s found something...and is now finding more and more of it.
And that’s just the first zone.

In just among the local prospector workings at Sela Creek, Miata Metal’s team has already delineated 26 target zones and discoveries [1].
|
| Multiple Discoveries,
Not a One-Trick Pony
|
| What really separates Miata from many junior explorers is this: They’re not relying on a single discovery to carry the story.
In addition to Jons Trend, Miata has already hit gold at several other targets along the same system, including the Puma West, Puma East, Golden Hand and Big Berg targets along strike from Jons Trend [1].
Each of these targets [1] shows the same key ingredients: Artisanal mining at surface, strong geochemical anomalies and gold in fresh bedrock once drilling begins.
|
| • At Puma East, Miata drilled 5.3 meters at 8.25 grams per tonne gold.
• At Golden Hand, they hit 14 meters at 1.7 grams.
• At Big Berg, recent drilling returned 8.1 meters at 2.21 grams, hosted in a brittle-ductile fault — a classic setting for gold deposition.
|
| And here’s the kicker: About half of Miata’s upcoming drilling is dedicated to testing entirely new targets that have never been drilled before.
In other words, the company is drilling to expand known zones and to make new discoveries at the same time.
|
| 25,000-Meter Program — Fully Funded
for Miata Metals (MMET.CSE; MMETF.OTC)
|
| The good news is that there’s going to be much more drilling news — and potentially very good news — on the way for some time to come.
Thanks to smart investors writing checks after recognizing how the early drill results have been piling up, Miata is cashed up with more than $10 million in the bank.
|
| The company is fully funded to complete the massive, 25,000-meter drill program now underway, with one rig already turning and a second one expected to start shortly.
|
| Because of the climate and infrastructure, Miata can drill almost year-round — which means a steady flow of news for months ahead, and multiple chances for the story to re-rate as new zones come into focus.
|
| The Big Picture:
Building Toward World-Class Scale
|
| Miata is not rushing to publish a small resource just to check a box. Instead, management has been very clear about their goal.
They have the stated goal of outlining three to three-and-a-half million ounces of gold before moving into full resource definition.
Why?
|
| Because that’s just the kind of world-class gold deposits that this belt has turned out, along the same trend, in precisely the same kind of rocks.
|
| In Suriname, that kind of scale is often built not from a single monster deposit, but from multiple open-pittable zones feeding a central mill.
That’s exactly how the region’s biggest gold mines were developed. And Miata’s land package is large enough — and prospective enough — to support that model.
Consider that an extraordinary number of targets have so far been defined by artisanal workings as well as modern geological mapping, soil sampling and geophysical surveys — so many targets that they appear to be coalescing into a single, massive trend extending more than 10 kilometers square.

The artisanal mining footprint at Sela Creek extends fully 14 kilometers in length, yet represents just a fraction of the 215-square-kilometer prospective property holding.
|
| And now consider this: That 14-kilometer-long trend of artisanal workings and identified targets is but a fraction of the overall property position, and Miata’s team has already discovered more targets where the local prospectors have yet to reach.
This could get really big. And with 25,000 meters of steady drilling ahead, that growth is going to come quickly now.
|
| A Team Built for This Terrain
|
| It takes human resources to find big gold resources. And Miata boasts the perfect team to do just that.
|
| The company’s technical team includes multiple geologists with deep experience in tropical gold systems, including professionals who have spent their careers working in environments just like Suriname.
|
| Just as important, the company has built strong relationships locally — a critical factor in regions where community cooperation is essential for long-term success.
|
| It All Adds Up…
|
| To enjoy the biggest winners in junior mining, a sharp-eyed investor needs to realize when an exploration idea has turned the corner into discovery mode.
Consider why Miata seems to have just turned that corner:
|
| • A massive, underexplored land package
• Kilometers of gold-bearing trend
• Multiple discoveries already in hand
• A clear path toward multi-million-ounce scale
• And a massive, fully-funded drill program to realize that scale just getting started
|
| There seems little doubt that Miata Metals is one of the more compelling gold exploration stories to watch right now.
To get an idea of the potential, consider that two years ago, Omai Gold Mines Corp. was at a similar early stage — just beginning to unlock the gold potential underneath historic workings along the Guiana Shield.
Fast forward to today, and that company is trading for 27 times its share price back then.
|
| The opportunity right now: The market hasn’t fully caught up to what’s unfolding on the ground in Suriname with Miata Metals...so the company is still at a relatively small valuation.
|
| But drill by drill, that’s starting to change.
And for investors who understand how big gold camps are built — this looks like the early chapters of a much larger story. The time to look into it is now.

| P.S. Things are already moving quickly for Miata — with an exciting news release out today. You can read it at the link below, but take a look at what Miata’s management is saying about the news:
“This drill program marks the beginning of a defining year for the Sela Creek Gold Project,” said Dr. Jacob Verbaas, CEO of Miata. “Intersecting visible gold in the first two holes of the year is an encouraging early validation of our refined targeting approach and a strong start to the 2026 campaign.
"With 25,000 metres planned and multiple high-priority targets ready to be tested, we are executing a disciplined strategy that advances Jon’s Trend toward scale while aggressively pursuing new discoveries across the broader project. Supported by two rigs from Major Drilling, this program gives us the ability to build critical mass at Jon’s Trend while simultaneously unlocking the significant, largely untested exploration upside that defines Sela Creek.”
