Miata Metals Announces Exploitation License Renewal for the Sela Creek Gold Project
VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Aug. 27, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Miata Metals Corp. (CSE: MMET) (FSE: 8NQ) (OTCQB: MMETF) (“Miata” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that its exploitation license has been renewed for a period of five years. The Company has further completed its anniversary payments for the option agreement (the “Option Agreement”) on its Sela Creek Gold Project (“Sela Creek” or “the Project”).
“We are pleased to have received the renewal of our exploitation license for another five years, providing a long runway for continued exploration.” stated Jaap Verbaas, CEO of Miata. “We are now firmly established at Sela Creek and well into our 10,000 m drill program. With our recently closed oversubscribed financing, we are well-positioned to continue systematic exploration on our flagship project.”
The five-year renewal, granted by the Geological Mining Service in Suriname (GMD), covers 100 km² encompassing the vast majority of the current artisanal mining footprint at Sela Creek, including Miata’s primary zones of interest. The license allows the Company to continue exploration activities such as sampling, trenching and drilling.
Miata has made the required cash payments under the Option Agreement to date and issued 592,883 Miata shares to the optionors of Sela Creek, (representing US$100,000 in shares at the trailing 5-day volume-weighted average price). The Company has completed all work commitments as required for the length of the option agreement. Full terms of the Option Agreement for Sela Creek are contained in Miata’s August 26, 2024 press release.
To satisfy the Option Agreement and increase its 70% earned interest to 100%, the following remaining milestones are required:
| Cash Payment (USD) | Share Payment (USD) | |
| August 23, 2026 | US$250,000 | US$150,000 |
| August 23, 2027 | US$500,000 | US$150,000 |
The Company has also issued 2,400,000 stock options to management and consultants of the Company. These options have an exercise price of $0.25, carry a three-year term, and vest over twelve months (50% on grant and 50% after twelve months).
