Miata Metals Provides Corporate and Exploration Update

Highlights

• The Company is working with contractors to establish the logistical plan to start drilling at Sela Creek in the coming months
• A LiDAR survey is expected to be completed over Sela Creek by the end of September
• The Company is currently refining a geological model for both the Sela Creek Gold Project and Nassau Project incorporating all historical and recent data
• The geological model will form the basis of 2,000m of trenching, which is expected to commence shortly

“Miata Metals is well on the way to begin drilling Sela Creek,” stated Dr. Jacob Verbaas, CEO of Miata. “With the data collected in July providing valuable context to the historical data, we are working on a renewed interpretation of mineralization on the Project. We are looking forward to using this data for a comprehensive trenching and drilling campaign. To that end, contractors are currently on site to assess the best logistical route to use. We are grateful to have strong local Surinamese partnerships that have enabled us to quickly and efficiently advance multiple work streams to put us in a position to drill Sela Creek by the end of the year.”

Drilling Logistics

Company contractors are currently on Sela Creek to determine the best path of access to mobilize drill equipment. Miata is assessing the ideal type of drill equipment for its initial drill targets, which are either exposed or mined at surface and may be drilled to a depth of 250m initially. There are several options for mobilizing equipment, such as roads and trails, or using the Tapanahony river.

LiDAR

A LiDAR survey is scheduled to be flown over the entire Sela Creek Project before the end of September. LiDAR data will allow the Company to use very high-resolution topographical data to identify structures and potentially areas of mineralization. It will also be of use for planning access roads and other infrastructure that will be required to scale up the exploration activities on Sela Creek.

Geological model

The Company is working on a geological model incorporating all past trenching, sampling, and drilling data, to highlight potential gold bearing veins, as well as trenching and drill targets. Using a combination of the historical database, as well as current and historical satellite imagery and the recent sampling, relative confidence levels are attributed to interpreted gold bearing veins, that are expected to guide Miata towards the high-confidence targets. The Company expects this work to be completed within the next two weeks after which it will plan a trenching and drilling program.

An initial 2,000m of trenching targets will be planned on both the Sela Creek and Nassau gold projects. Trenching at Sela Creek is planned to start as soon as possible once the targets are identified. The Company expects to start drilling shortly thereafter. Using Filab Suriname N.V. the turnaround time for fire assay results on samples is less than two weeks.  This allows the Company to use the results rapidly for follow-up programs.

QAQC and Data Verification

Drill data was verified by the Company through the resampling of certain core sections. Samples were analyzed by Filab Suriname NV. The lab inserts standards and blanks at regular intervals. Re-assayed data as well as standards and blanks yielded acceptable values. All other data is deemed historical and was not verified by the Company.
