Miata Metals Corp.
Miata Metals (moved from the CSE to the TSXV, Apr 2026, same ticker) is advancing the Sela Creek Gold Project in Suriname. Cash and debt are left unstated: a pending C$23.2 million investment from La Mancha has not yet closed, and no confident current balance-sheet figure was found.
Notable vs. Peers
- Jurisdiction risk score of 5/10 is meaningfully riskier than the peer average of 7.8/10.
Lifecycle Milestones
A relative ranking of how closely this company matches the profile of juniors that have actually been acquired — not a probability, and not a reason to buy. Acquisitions are rare: only a few dozen significant deals happen a year across a universe of thousands of juniors, so even a high score here describes a long shot. The strongest signal the underlying research identifies — whether a major already holds a JV, earn-in, or 5–19.9% strategic stake — isn't tracked yet and is absent from this score.

Insiders, Investors & Smart Money
Notable shareholders and insiders whose involvement is worth knowing about, plus what we're seeing from institutional/large-investor activity.
La Mancha Resource Fund, a specialist gold-mining investment firm, agreed in mid-2026 to invest roughly C$13 million in cash for 19.9% of Miata Metals, priced only modestly below the market price -- a strong, very recent vote of confidence, complete with a board seat and rights to maintain its position.

Reports, Presentations & Documents
Sela Creek Gold Project (Suriname, 70%-owned): still at drilling/exploration stage -- no NI 43-101 mineral resource estimate of any category has been published. Recent results (2025-2026) are individual drill intercepts (e.g. 35.6m at 3.04 g/t Au, 63m at 1.44 g/t Au) and district-scale target expansion (Puma, Golden Hand, Jons Trend), not a resource calculation. ouncesFound left null -- genuinely no data exists yet. FLAG: worth a human recheck of the RESOURCE_DEFINITION stage tag given no MRE has ever been filed (out of scope to change here). [Task #317 stage correction, 2026-08-18]: Independent re-verification (WebSearch, 2026-08-18) confirms Sela Creek remains pure drill-result/exploration-stage news (e.g. 63m at 1.44 g/t Au, 23 Jun 2026) with no resource estimate of any kind announced. The prior FLAG above is resolved: stage corrected RESOURCE_DEFINITION -> GRASSROOTS.
