Miata Metals Corp. (CSE: MMET) (FSE: 8NQ) (OTCQX: MMETF) is pleased to announce the final assays from its 10,041 m 2025 drill program, highlighting high-grade intercepts at the Jons Trend zone, as well as promising results from the Big Berg target.
These assays from Jons Trend continue to expand on the existing discovery and delineate additional high-grade zones of gold mineralization. Miata expects to follow this up aggressively in its 2026 drill program, which is targeting 25,000 m.
Highlights
Jons Trend
Big Berg
“Results from Jons Trend continue to expand and improve the known zone of mineralization, yielding both wider disseminated intervals such as 57 m at 1.01 g/t gold, as well as high grade intervals, such as 4.3 m at 12.49 g/t gold,” stated Dr. Jaap Verbaas, CEO of Miata. “All information from the 4,200 m Miata drilled to date at Jons Trend points to a substantial mineralized system that is open in all directions. Over 2026 we intend to identify the full extent of Jons Trend’s known strike, width, and depth.
“Further, exploration drilling results from Big Berg include 8.1 m at 2.21 g/t gold, with mineralization appearing to be hosted by a mineralized brittle-ductile fault that has previously returned 14 m at 1.72 g/t gold. Discovery drilling on Puma, Golden Hand, and numerous other targets will comprise about half of the budgeted 25,000 m over 2026. We believe that Miata has the potential to make several discoveries in 2026 now that we know the key controlling features for gold mineralization across Sela Creek.”

Jons Trend Drilling
Jons Trend drilling includes excellent results in hole 25DDH-SEL-052, which was drilled on the southeastern end of the current drill-defined extent. This hole yielded 4.3 m at 12.49 g/t gold from 122 m as well as a shallower zone of mineralization of 16.4 m at 1.00 g/t gold.
Hole 25DDH-SEL-054 was drilled in the center of Jons Trend and delineates the downdip extent of the four different vein zones within the discovery zone. This hole yielded four mineralized intercepts including 9 m at 2.20 g/t gold from 76.5 m, 17 m at 0.82 g/t gold from 117.0 m, 21 m at 0.64 g/t gold from 159 m, and 19 m at 1.01 g/t gold from 195 m.
Hole 25DDH-SEL-059, drilled adjacent to the main discovery zone, yielded an intercept of 22.7 m at 2.23 g/t gold. All but one hole yielded multiple mineralized intercepts and continue to extend and improve the size and grade at Jons Trend. Hole 25DDH-SEL-050 yielded a 57 m intercept at 1.01 g/t gold from 89 m, further substantiating the continuous nature of gold mineralization.
Discovery Drilling
Continued discovery drilling at Big Berg has yielded an interval of 8.1 m at 2.21 g/t gold from 94.3 m, including 3.7 m at 3.94 g/t gold in hole 25DDH-SEL-040. Miata is encouraged by drill results from this new hole, as well as a previously released result of 14 m at 1.72 g/t gold from 164 m in hole 25DDH-SEL-031. The Big Berg mineralization hosts the widest alteration zones so far seen on Sela Creek and appears to be associated with a mineralized brittle-ductile fault zone. Brittle-ductile transitions can be important localizing factors for gold deposition. Big Berg is located 500 m southeast and is along strike from Jons Trend.
