Miata intercepts 63 m at 1.44 g/t Au at Sela Creek, Suriname

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, June 23, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Miata Metals Corp. (TSXV: MMET) (FSE: 8NQ) (OTCQX: MMETF) (“Miata” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce additional drill results from its ongoing, 25,000 m diamond drilling program at its Sela Creek Gold Project (“Sela Creek” or the “Project”) in Suriname. The 2026 drill program continues to advance Miata’s interpretation of Sela Creek as a large, structurally controlled gold system with multiple centres of gold mineralization. At Jons Trend, the deepest test of the mineralized zone completed to date successfully extended five known vein zones by 50 meters down-dip to a vertical depth of 250 m.

The Company also discovered an additional zone below the formerly modeled gold mineralization. All of these vein zones remain open at depth. The drill hole returned a broad intercept across several vein zones of 63 m at 1.44 g/t Au.

At Big Berg, continued step-out drilling returned both broad and higher-grade intercepts, 400 m to the southwest along strike from Jons Trend. Geological data continues to point towards the continuation of Jons Trend and Big Berg, in a single mineralized corridor of 1,300 m strike length. Highlights: 26DDH-JT-016 extended Jons Trend to 250m vertical depth, confirming down-dip continuity across five known vein zones, discovering a deeper gold zone below the previous geological model Mineralization remains open at depth, with ongoing drilling testing the depth extent, continuity and potential strike extension 26DDH-JT-016 intersected:  63.0 m at 1.44 g/t Au from 167.0 m, including: 4.0 m at 1.85 g/t Au 4.0 m at 4.41 g/t Au 8.61 m at 2.48 g/t Au 4.50 m at 1.07 g/t Au from 16.5 m 5.29 m at 1.56 g/t Au from 265.0 m 26DDH-BB-009 and 26DDH-BB-010 were drilled at approximately 20 m step-outs from mineralized intercepts in26D
