Miata Metals Hits 4.3m at 12.49g/t Gold, 22.7m at 2.23g/t and Upgrades to OTCQX
Miata announced final assays from its 10,041m 2025 drill program at Sela Creek, hitting intercepts like 4.3m at 12.49g/t and 22.7m at 2.23g/t gold on Jons Trend, plus 8.1m at 2.21g/t at Big Berg. The company also upgraded to the OTCQX Best Market to enhance U.S. investor visibility.
1. Exceptional 2025 Drill Program Expands High-Grade Zones
Miata Metals completed a 10,041-metre reverse-circulation and diamond drill campaign at Sela Creek in 2025, delivering standout intercepts that extend the Jons Trend discovery and confirm continuity of gold mineralization over a 750 m by 250 m corridor to depths of 200 m. Highlights include 4.3 m at 12.49 g/t Au from 122 m (including 1.3 m at 29.24 g/t Au), 22.7 m at 2.23 g/t Au from 70 m (including 15.9 m at 2.84 g/t Au) and 57 m at 1.01 g/t Au from 89 m. All but one hole at Jons Trend returned multiple mineralized intercepts, underscoring a robust, open-ended system. At Big Berg, located 500 m southeast along strike, drilling yielded 8.1 m at 2.21 g/t Au (including 3.7 m at 3.94 g/t Au) within a brittle-ductile fault zone. Miata plans to ramp up to a 25,000 m program in 2026 to define the full strike, width and depth of these targets.
2. OTCQX Upgrade to Boost U.S. Investor Accessibility
As of January 21, 2026, Miata Metals qualified to trade on the OTCQX® Best Market in the United States, following compliance with rigorous financial reporting and corporate governance standards. The upgrade from OTCQB® is expected to enhance liquidity and visibility among U.S. investors, while the company’s common shares continue to trade on the Canadian Securities Exchange. Concurrently, Miata engaged Connect 4 Marketing Ltd. for a 12-month, C$100,000 digital marketing program—spanning SEM, retargeting, social media influencers and newsletters—to support shareholder engagement and broaden its North American investor base.
