Metals Creek Drills 4.24 g/t Gold over 5.61 Meters at the Ogden Gold Project

Metals Creek Resources Corp. (TSXV: MEK) (OTCQB: MCREF) (FSE: M1C1) (the "Company" or Metals Creek) is pleased to announce results for 3 holes of a nine (9) hole diamond drill program (See News Release February 7, 2022) on the Ogden Gold Project in Timmins, Ontario. The Ogden Gold Project is a 5050 Joint Venture with Newmont Corporation ("Newmont"), with the Company serving as the operator.

Drilling primarily focused on the Thomas Ogden Zone (TOG) with two peripheral targets also tested. Drilling at TOG targeted potential flat lying quartz bearing structures and zones of albitization and silicification with associated mineralization within the lowermost portion of the currently defined TOG fold structure. High grade gold mineralization has a strong preferential association with the TOG fold axis which has a shallow plunge to the east.

Highlights of the drilling include:

TOG-22-71 returned a downhole intercept (324.63 - 336.77m) of 1.13 grammes per ton (g/t) gold (Au) over 12.14 meters (m), visible gold was noted in this intercept. A second zone of mineralization (284.95 - 286.00m) was intercepted returning 12.3 g/t Au over 1.05m.

This hole was drilled to further define gold mineralization associated with the TOG fold structure (See attached Schematic Cross Section 1200W Fig. 1). This zone contains moderate to strong albitization, strong silicification and local fuchsite within an altered felsite unit. Fine-grained disseminated cubic pyrite is the dominant sulfide throughout as well as locally within white quartz-carbonate veinlets. Pyrite ranges from 1-5%, with trace arsenopyrite and several fine specks of visible gold.

TOG-22-72 returned a downhole intercept (354.34 - 356.35m) of 4.71 g/t Au over 2.01m. A second zone of mineralization was cut (373.00 - 376.40m) returning 1.67 g/t Au over 3.4m. This hole (See attached Schematic Cross Section 1175W Fig. 2) was drilled 25m east of hole TOG-21-65A which returned a downhole intercept of 9.20 g/t Au over 4.47m (See News release January 27, 2022) to facilitate a better understanding of potential shallow dipping gold mineralization associated with secondary structures. Alteration consists of moderate to strong albitization and silicification within an altered conglomerate unit with local fuchsite. Fine-grained disseminated cubic pyrite occurs throughout and locally within white quartz-carbonate veinlets. Pyrite ranges from 1-5% along with trace arsenopyrite.

TOG-22-73 returned a downhole intercept (346.25 - 351.86m) of 4.24 g/t Au over 5.61 m. This hole (See attached Schematic Cross Section 1225W Fig. 3) was drilled 25m west of hole TOG-21-65A which returned a downhole intercept of 9.20 g/t Au over 4.47m (See News release January 27, 2022). Like that of hole TOG-22-72, this hole was drilled to further define shallow dipping gold mineralization associated with secondary structures. A strongly altered felsite of intense albitization and silicification with associated wispy fuchsite alteration was intersected with fine-grained disseminated cubic pyrite throughout. Pyrite ranges from 1-5%with trace arsenopyrite and local fine specks of visible gold.

Table of significant results:

Drill Hole Number	From (m)	To (m)	Length (m)	Grammes Per Ton Gold	Remarks
TOG-22-71	284.95	286.00	1.05	12.30
and	313.15	314.10	0.95	5.01
and	324.63	336.77	12.14	1.13	VG
TOG-22-72	354.34	356.35	2.01	4.71
and	373.00	376.40	3.40	1.67
TOG-22-73	346.25	351.86	5.61	4.24	VG

Drill intercepts are core lengths and true width will be approximately 70 to 80% of drill intercept length. Further results will be released once received and compiled.

Remaining holes will be released once they are received and compiled.

All split core samples were sent to Activation Laboratories. The precious metals were analyzed utilizing a standard fire assay with an atomic absorption finish. As part of the Corporations QAQC protocol, approximately 10% of the samples submitted for assay were also sent for check assays. Standards and blanks were inserted randomly into the sample shipments as part of the sampling protocol. Samples with fire assay results above 1.0 g/t gold are re-analyzed using a gravimetric finish and samples with fire assay results above 5.0 g/t gold or samples showing visible gold are analyzed using the pulp metallic method.

Drill hole locations are provided in the map below (Fig. 4).

Metals Creek Drills Multiple High-Grade Intercepts Including 36.21 g/t Gold over 2.47 Meters in Hole DL22-029 at Dona Lake

3 High-Grade intercepts with associated VG
New High-Grade Discovery within Quartz Vein

Metals Creek Resources Corp. (TSXV: MEK) (OTCQB: MCREF) (FSE: M1C1) (the "Company" or Metals Creek) is pleased to announce additional diamond drill results from drill holes DL22-029, 030 and 031 of the phase III diamond drill program at the Dona Lake Gold project (See News Release November 08, 2021).

Hole DL22-029 continues to demonstrate the continuation of high-grade gold mineralization within the main zone stratigraphy, below the 455 level of the past producing Dona Lake Gold mine (See Figure 1, Schematic Long Section and Figure 2, Schematic X-Section). Hole 029 intersected the Main Zone stratigraphy 499 meters below surface and returned a core length intercept of 11.80 grammes per ton (g/t) gold (Au) over 3.66 meters(m) (539.47-543.13m). This was a part of a broader zone of mineralization of 6.38 g/t Au over 11.33m (531.80-543.13m). Mineralization was hosted within a silicate sulfide iron formation with 0.5 to 25% pyrrhotite and local pyrite with associated grunerite and garnets. Visible gold was noted in this intercept. A second zone of mineralization was intercepted 516m below surface, which returned a core length intercept of 36.21 g/t Au over 2.47m, (558.63-561.10m). This second zone of mineralization is also within the main zone stratigraphy and is separated from the noted intercept above by 11m of felsic dike material. It is hosted within a moderately foliated and chloritized iron formation with 1-20% pyrrhotite and 2-10% pyrite. Visible gold was also noted in this intercept.

Horizon Minerals Limited First Gold Pour - Boorara Gold Project

Perth, Australia (ABN Newswire) - Horizon Minerals Limited (ASX:HRZ) is pleased to provide an update on operations and gold production from the Boorara gold project ("Boorara"). The first stockpile of 56,654 wmt @ 0.8g/t Au was accepted by Paddington early in December 2024, and ongoing haulage has continued throughout December and into January 2025.

HIGHLIGHTS

- On Tuesday 14 January 2025, Horizon poured its first gold bar from Boorara under the Ore Sale Agreement with Paddington Mill.

- Horizon entered into an Ore Sale Agreement with Norton Gold Fields' Paddington Mill for 1.24Mt of Boorara ore for processing over 18 months.

- Horizon approved the development of Boorara in late July 2024 to mine a series of four open pits containing 1.24Mt of ore at 1.24g/t Au for 49.5koz of gold.

- The first stockpile of approximately 56k wmt of Boorara ore has been hauled to Paddington over December 2024 and January 2025 for processing.

- Open pit mining is progressing safely however is running behind schedule, mainly due to lack of dust suppression via water trucks which were down for repairs and since then have been repaired and are operational.

As of 14 January 2025, the entire stockpile No.1 had been hauled to the Paddington Mill ROM. Prior to this date, and early in January 2025 Horizon achieved 50% of the delivery schedule and agreed the first invoice estimate with Paddington which is now payable on or about 21 January 2025.

At the same time mining continues at Boorara pits 2 and 4 building the next stockpile for haulage. Commenting on the mining progress, Managing Director and CEO Mr Grant Haywood said:

"We are delighted to become Australia's newest gold producing company in 2025. We have a Mineral Resource of 1.8Moz across our projects and developing a sustainable gold production pipeline which includes numerous projects that are ready for a Final Investment Decision, such as Penny's Find and the Cannon projects. With the cashflow we expect to generate from Boorara and our other advanced projects, we will seek to use this production pipeline to feed a refurbished Black Swan mill after completion of our proposed merger with Poseidon Nickel Limited."
