Metals Creek Samples 2.3% Antimony at Careless Cove in Newfoundland

Metals Creek Samples 2.3% Antimony at Careless Cove in Newfoundland

Metals Creek Resources Corp. (TSXV: MEK,OTC:MCREF) (FSE: M1C1) (the "Company" or Metals Creek) is pleased to announce additional high-grade gold and antimony assay results from follow-up sampling at the Careless Cove Property in Newfoundland.

The Careless Cove Property is located within and adjacent to New Found Gold Corp.'s Queensway High-Grade Gold Project and approximately 12 kilometers southwest of New Found Gold's Keats Zone drilling (See Fig. 1: Careless Cove Location Map).

Recent follow-up prospecting and sampling took place in October to further evaluate recent high-grade assay results (See News Release: February 19, 2025) for gold and anomalous antimony. This prospecting program returned high-grade gold assays ranging from 0.07 to 10.54 grams per tonne (g/t) gold (Au) with associated high-grade antimony (Sb) assays (See Table 1: Assay Results) with values up to 2.3 percent (%). Previous sampling returned Sb values up to 0.27%. Mineralization is hosted within silicified sediments with vuggy quartz and with associated pyrite, arsenopyrite and stibnite. These assay results were from two clusters of samples (See Fig 2: Sample Location Map) from subcrop to rubble material 82m apart. The Sb is hosted within crosscutting veins (See Fig 2) with stibnite-arsenopyrite-quartz similar to other Sb mineralization located in close proximity to the Dog Bay Line, a northeast trending regional structure including the Beaver Brook Antimony Mine which is located 29 kilometers (km) to the southwest.

The high-grade Sb results is highly encouraging, showing a strong correlation between high-grade Au and Sb. Previous soil sampling programs highlighted this area to be prospective for pathfinder elements including Au and Sb. Several high-grade Au occurrences have not been sampled for Sb which will be taking place over the next several weeks.
