Metals Creek Returns High-Grade Mineralization on the Ogden Gold Project in Timmins, Ontario

  • Quartz-Carb-Fuchsite Schist with 1-5% Py, Local Aspy
  • No recent exploration activity on this portion of the property

Metals Creek Resources Corp. (TSXV: MEK,OTC:MCREF) (OTC Pink: MCREF) (FSE: M1C1) (the "Company" or Metals Creek) is pleased to announce results for a recently completed prospecting program targeting prospective stratigraphy west of the past producing Naybob Gold Deposit on the Ogden Gold Project in Timmins, Ontario. The Ogden Gold Project is a 5050 Joint Venture with Discovery Silver Corp ("Discovery"), with the Company serving as the operator.

Recent prospecting activities on the Ogden Gold Project has highlighted an area of strong to intense alteration 400m west north west (WNW) (See Fig 1: Naybob Plan Map) of the past producing Naybob Gold Deposit. A broad zone of strong to intense alteration consisting of fuchsite, sericite alteration with associated quartz stockwork and strong silicification and carbonatization over a minimum width of 30m. Within this pervasive zone of alteration is a discrete zone on mineralization with quartz flooding, 1-5% disseminated pyrite, trace arsenopyrite and local galena. This discrete zone of mineralization is approximately 3.5 meters(m) in width and exhibits similar style of mineralization to that of the Thomas Ogden Zone (TOG). 4 samples were collected from this zone of mineralization with assays consisting of 0.267 grams per tonne (g/t), 4.24 g/t, 4.33 g/t and 7.59 g/t. This zone of high-grade gold mineralization is located in an area that hasn't seen any recent exploration work with records indicating some of the work dating back as far as 1930's and 40's with sporadic documentation and no record of any recent work. Follow-up sampling/prospecting/mapping will take place later this month to further evaluate the on-strike extent and orientation of this zone of mineralization (Note: The surface grab samples described in this news release are selective by nature and are unlikely to represent average grades of the property).

Management is highly encouraged with the identification of high-grade gold mineralization along the same trend and west of a past producing gold deposit. Naybob West represents a high priority target with additional follow-up work planned.

The Ogden Gold Project is an exploration staged project located within the prolific Timmins Gold Camp 6 km south of Timmins, Ontario. It is a part of a joint venture agreement between Metals Creek Resources and Discovery Silver Corp. The property is located in Ogden Township and covers 8 km of strike length of the Porcupine-Destor Break the key conduit for gold mineralization in the Timmins Gold Camp.
