Abstract/NotesThe Sela Creek gold project in Suriname has been mined for alluvial gold and is currently mined for gold in weathered bedrock, called saprolite. Local miners started small-scale mining at Sela Creek in the period from 1920-1930, one of the earliest gold occurrences found in the Tapanahony river area (Healy, personal communication). Past and current mining and production span an area of 30 km2. Despite this extensive production only limited exploration for gold in bedrock has taken place. The first drilling was done by Hunter Bay in 2012 and results were very positive. 79North acquired Hunter Bay in 2017 but conducted minimal exploration. Miata Metals has proposed to acquire 79North, and upon completion of such acquisition would become 70% owner of the Sela Creek Project.
