Metals Creek Resources Corp. (TSXV: MEK) (OTCQB: MCREF) (FSE: M1C1) (the "Company" or Metals Creek) is pleased to announce that the company has received the 1st year anniversary payment of $20,000 and 300,000 shares from Quadro Resources Ltd. ("Quadro"). Quadro has the right to earn a 100% interest in the company's Careless CoveYellow Fox claims in central Newfoundland. The claims are located approximately 12 kilometers southwest of New Found Gold Corp. ("New Found Gold") as illustrated on the attached map. New Found Gold announced excellent results from recent drilling on their Queensway Gold Project. Drill Hole NFGC-19-01 results included an intersection of 92.86 gt Au over 19.0 meters (see Mexican Gold Corp., Press Release dated January 26, 2020). Gold values on adjacent properties in similar rocks are not representative of the mineralization on the property, have not been verified, and should not be relied upon.

The terms of the acquisition are outlined as follows:

  1. The Property consists of five licenses (40 units) in two separate groupings referred to as the Careless Cove group and the Yellow Fox group.

  2. To acquire MEK's interest, QRO will issue to MEK a total $100,000 and 1,500,000 shares according to the following schedule:

a) $15,000 and 300,000 on signing; (Paid)
b) $20,000 and 300,000 shares on the first anniversary; (Paid)
c) $20,000 and 400,000 shares on the second anniversary; and
d) $45,000 and 500,000 shares on the third anniversary

  1. Once QRO is vested at 100% by meeting all the payments above, MEK will retain a 2.0% Net Smelter Return (NSR) royalty on any future mineral production. QRO will have the right to purchase 50% of the NSR from MEK for $1,000,000.

  2. The foregoing proposal is subject to QRO and MEK board approval and may be subject to Exchange approval, in which regard the parties will provide such assistance and cooperation as may reasonably be required.

Prospecting activities on the Careless Cove property by Metals Creek returned 11.8 grams per tonne (g/t) gold (Au) in grab samples. The Careless Cove claim block is one of two 100% owned Claim blocks comprising the Careless Cove/Yellow Fox Property. (see MEK news release dated 30 July 2020).

Careless Cove Claims

The recent prospecting carried out at Careless Cove uncovered mineralization comprised of quartz breccia with disseminated and vein hosted pyrite/arsenopyrite with minor stibinite.

Three samples taken from outcrop, assays are as follows:

Sample Number g/t Au
236102 7.39
236103 0.47
236104 4.15

 

In addition, follow up prospecting has located rubble approximately 50 meters away from the above mentioned outcrop samples with assays of :

Sample Number g/t Au
323763 7.37
323764 11.83

 

 Yellow Fox Claims

No new sampling was carried out at Yellow Fox however a description of previous MEK sampling carried out in 2011 follows: (see Newfoundland Geoscience Resource Atlas Geofile Number: 002D/0779).

Initial prospecting carried by Metals Creek in 2011, resulted in a concentration of highly anomalous gold values with one sample returning an assay of 59.413 g/t Au (main Yellow Fox showing) (see MEK press release dated June 22, 2011). This led to an enhanced work program which included soil sampling and trenching. B-horizon soils were collected 25 meters apart over two, 100m spaced, east-west trending recce lines over the higher-grade gold sample in an attempt to trace the direction of mineralization. Follow-up trenching was completed across the mineralization. Initial sampling consisted of 13 selective grab samples taken throughout the trenches with assay values ranging from 214 ppb to 1877 ppb Gold and up to 11.1% Sb, 5.5% Pb, 7% Zn, and 72.9 g/t Ag. The trenches were then channel sampled along their length using a diamond bladed rock saw. The best result from the channels were from Trench #1 which assayed 0.306 g/t Au over 26.82m within 29 continuous samples and 4.57% Sb over 1 meter. These results were very encouraging and indicated the potential for a more widespread gold system on the Yellow Fox claim group.

Alexander (Sandy) Stares, President and CEO of Metals Creek states, "The Central Newfoundland Gold Belt is currently a beehive of activity with multiple companies performing exploration activity. Optioning the Careless Cove/Yellow Fox claims to Quadro allows for the properties to receive the exploration it deserves while Metals Creek remains focused on the Ogden Gold Project in Timmins and the Dona Lake Gold Project in northwestern Ontario."

Wayne Reid, P.Geo, a Director for the Company and a qualified person as defined in National Instrument 43-101, is responsible for this release, and supervised the preparation of the information forming the basis for this release.

Analyses in this release were performed by Eastern Analytical of Springdale, NL with ISO 17025 accreditation. Samples were transported in sealed bags to Eastern and all samples were assayed using industry-standard assay techniques for gold. Gold was analyzed by a standard 30 gram fire assay with an AA finish.

Note: The surface grab samples described in this news release are selective by nature and are unlikely to represent average grades of the property.

In addition to its portfolio of projects, Metals Creek also holds a position of equities in other companies such as O3 Mining, Sokoman Minerals, Quadro Resources, Anaconda Mining, Benton Resources, White Metal Resources, Trifecta Gold, Manning Ventures, Magna Terra Minerals, General Gold, as well as others.

Top 5 Canadian Mining Stocks This Week: Trifecta Shines with 117 Percent Gain

Welcome to the Investing News Network's weekly look at the best-performing Canadian mining stocks on the TSX, TSXV and CSE, starting with a round-up of Canadian and US news impacting the resource sector.

Statistics Canada released its second-quarter gross domestic product (GDP) figures on Friday (August 29). The data showed that the Canadian economy shrank 0.4 percent in the second quarter and declined 1.6 percent on an annualized basis. The decrease comes following first-quarter gains of 0.5 percent and a 2 percent annualized increase.

Much of the decrease was attributed to a 7.5 percent drop in exports compared to Q1. Canadian exports had risen 1.4 percent in the first three months of the year as US companies increased imports to get ahead of incoming tariffs.Excluding the lower costs at the pumps, CPI remained steady at 2.5 percent, the same increase as May and June.

Editor's Picks: Gold Price Breaks US$3,400, Silver Added to Draft US Critical Minerals List

The gold price was on the rise this week, breaking through US$3,400 per ounce once again.

It's been pushed higher by US dollar weakness, as well as Federal Reserve turmoil.

President Donald Trump has been pressuring Fed Chair Jerome Powell to cut interest rates for months, and on Monday (August 25) the situation developed further when Trump posted a letter on his social media platform Truth Social. In it, he said he was removing Lisa Cook from her position on the central bank's board of governors due to allegations of mortgage fraud.
