Metals Creek's Option Partner General Gold Resources Commences Drilling on Clark's Brook Property, Central Newfoundland

Metals Creek Resources Corp. (TSXV: MEK) (OTCQB: MCREF) (FSE: M1C1) (the "Company" or Metals Creek) is pleased to announce that the Company has been advised by its option partner General Gold Resources Inc. (CSE: GGLD) (C-GGLD) (General Gold) that General Gold will commence drilling on the Clark's Brook property the week of July 5, 2021. The Clark's Brook property comprises 31 claim units in central Newfoundland and is surrounded on three sides by the Queensway project, currently being explored and drilled by New Found Gold Corp. (see General Gold news release dated 28 June 202).

Alexander (Sandy) Stares, President and CEO of Metals Creek states "Management at Metals Creek is delighted that drilling will commence at Clark's Brook by General Gold. This is another project that will give MEK shareholders exposure to the extremely hot Central Newfoundland gold play and allows Metals Creek to focus on the Dona Lake and Ogden gold projects."

The Clark's Brook property consists of claims originally staked in 2016, covering two auriferous showings first discovered in 2003.

As part of the earlier geological mapping and prospecting program, discoveries were made at both the Clark's Brook East (CBE) and West (CBW) zones. On the CBE gold zone, seven representative grab samples were attained, each comprising material from several mineralized boulders that assayed between 2.98 grams per tonne and 24.5 g/t gold. The CBW gold zone discovery was first made in mineralized boulders returning 8.9 g/t and 9.28 g/t gold. Note: The surface grab samples described in this news release are selective by nature and are unlikely to represent average grades of the property.

The Clark's Brook property is under option from Metals Creek. In order to maintain the Option Agreement in good standing, General Gold must issue an aggregate of 1,500,000 common shares of General Gold (200,000 received) and make cash payments totaling $225,000 ($50,000 received) over a three-year period. If General Gold does not make any or all of the cash payments or issue any or all of the common shares, it will be in default under the Option Agreement and all right and title to the Clark's Brook Property shall remain with MEK. If the option is exercised in accordance with the terms of the Option Agreement, General Gold will reserve to MEK a 2% net smelter royalty (the "NSR") on the mineral claims, provided, however, that General Gold shall have the right at any time to purchase from MEK 1% of the NSR in consideration for a one-time payment of the sum of $1,000,000.

Wayne Reid, P. Geo., Director of Metals Creek, is the "qualified person" as defined in NI 43-101, who has reviewed and approved the technical content in this press release.

MEK has current option agreements on a number of its projects including: Squid (Yukon) to Manning Ventures Inc., Flint Lake (Ontario) to Manning Ventures Inc, Clark's Brook (NL) to General Gold and Yellow Fox/Careless Cove (NL) to Quadro Resources.

Lawrence Lepard: "Big Print" Coming — Fully Expect US$5,000 Gold, US$200,000 Bitcoin

Speaking to the Investing News Network, Lawrence Lepard, managing director at EMA, voiced his thoughts on the outlook for gold and Bitcoin as the debt doom loop intensifies in the US.

"I call it a doom loop — it's a vicious circle in the wrong direction, which I believe will ultimately lead to the government having to say, 'Okay, this isn't going to work. We are going to institute yield curve control or QE, or we're going to buy the bonds,'" he explained on the sidelines of the New Orleans Investment Conference.

Lepard believes it's important to hold both gold and Bitcoin, noting that the only wrong allocation is zero.

Chris Temple: Gold's Next Leg Higher, Plus Uranium and Natural Gas in 2025

Chris Temple, founder, editor and publisher of the National Investor, outlined the main factors he sees impacting the gold price heading into 2025, saying the yellow metal will undoubtedly move higher.

In his view, its rise will come as market participants realize how many problems the US economy is facing.

"I think that once that reality sets in, gold will get its next big lease on life and the stock market is going to bog down. I think we're going to see a lot of rotation in the market that will start to favor real assets and real value — away from everybody chasing the same relative handful of stocks as we've seen," Temple explained.

WGC: Gold to Face Complex Drivers in 2025, Price Likely to Cool After Record-Breaking Year

The World Gold Council (WGC) has released its 2025 gold outlook, highlighting various macroeconomic factors, geopolitical risks and central bank activity as pivotal forces influencing demand and prices.

While 2024 saw gold achieve a stellar performance with a 28 percent annual increase, the outlook for 2025 is characterized by a mix of opportunities and challenges stemming from both global and regional developments.

The yellow metal has benefited from its historical role as a hedge against uncertainty, but the WGC forecasts that its performance next year will depend on other key variables as well.
