Miata Metals Hits 96-Meter Gold Intercept at Big Berg, Expanding Sela Creek Project

Event summary

  • Miata Metals intersected 96 meters of 1.41 g/t gold at the Big Berg target, the best intercept to date at the Sela Creek Gold Project in Suriname.
  • Big Berg is located approximately 1 km southeast of the Jons Trend, suggesting a potential district-scale gold system.
  • The discovery includes multiple high-grade zones, with one interval returning 18.1 meters at 2.95 g/t gold.
  • Drilling continues at Big Berg to expand the discovery zone, with one rig dedicated to further testing.

The big picture

Miata's discovery at Big Berg reinforces the district-scale potential of the Sela Creek Gold Project, positioning it as a significant player in Suriname's emerging gold belt. The continuity of mineralization between Big Berg and Jons Trend suggests a robust structural corridor, which could attract further investment and partnerships as the project advances toward resource estimation.
