Miata intercepts 30 m at 4.06 g/t Au at Jons Trend, Suriname

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, July 13, 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 latest results include one of the strongest holes drilled at Sela Creek to date, with hole 26DDH-JT-019 intersecting 30.0 m at 4.06 g/t Au, including 14.0 m at 8.20 g/t Au , in a down-dip step-out from previously reported high-grade mineralization at Jons Trend. The hole also intersected multiple additional mineralized zones above and below the highlight interval, further reinforcing Miata’s interpretation of Jons Trend as a broad, stacked and structurally controlled gold system.

The Company’s ability to project and target high-grade zones has increased substantially. Three of the four strongest drill results reported to date from the Jons Trend-Big Berg Corridor have been announced in the past four months. As drilling advances, Miata’s technical team is developing an increasingly refined understanding of the structural controls associated with higher-grade mineralization.

Step-out drilling at Big Berg is also advancing the broader corridor thesis that Jons Trend and Big Berg are in fact part of one larger mineralized zone of 1300 m strike length. Hole 26DDH-BB-013, collared approximately 150 m west of the main Big Berg discovery area toward Jons Trend, intersected 16.5 m at 2.15 g/t Au . The result extends meaningful mineralization into the area between the two zones that remain open laterally and to depth.

Highlights: Hole 26DDH-JT-019 intersected 30.0 m at 4.06 g/t Au from 117.0 m , including: 14.0 m at 8.20 g/t Au 4.6 m at 14.83 g/t Au 1.2 m 36.20m g/t Au 3.2 m at 11.24 g/t Au Hole 26DDH-JT-01
