Miata Intersects 11.3 m at 3.58 g/t Gold and Further Expands Jons Trend Footprint at the Sela Creek Gold Project, Suriname

Article content

Longer intervals of mineralization are characterized by extensive silicification and sulphide mineralization within shear zone intercepts. Notable broad zones include:

Shorter, high-grade intervals are associated with quartz-chlorite-pyrite-pyrrhotite extensional veins within the broader shear system. These veins occur within a strongly altered package marked by silica, chlorite, white mica, and locally biotite alteration, with accessory titanite. Gold mineralization is typically associated with chlorite, pyrite, and pyrrhotite disseminations adjacent to and concentrated along locally boudinaged quartz veins.

Jons Trend is hosted within tightly folded metasedimentary rocks metamorphosed to upper greenschist to lower amphibolite facies. Fold axes follow a strong northeast to southwest trend. Two orientations of gold-bearing shear zones crosscut the folded package, one fold-parallel and the other slightly oblique, providing structural traps for mineralization.

QAQC

Article content

Samples were analyzed at FILAB Suriname, a commercial certified laboratory under ISO 9001:2015. Samples are crushed and pulverized to 85% passing 88 µm prior to analysis using a 50 g fire assay (50 g aliquot) with an Atomic Absorption (AA) finish. For samples that return assay values over 5.0 g/t, another cut was taken from the original pulp and fire assayed with a gravimetric finish. Samples with coarse visible gold or returning an assay value over 10.0 g/t, metallic screen analysis is conducted on the coarse reject material. Miata Metals inserts certified reference standards, as well as blanks and ¼ core duplicates in the sample sequence for quality control and assurance.
