>> Tillex/Currie - ON

MEK has entered into an option agreement with Kinross Gold Corporation on the Currie-Bowman Property, located 54 kilometers east of Timmins Ontario.  With the agreement, Metals Creek can acquire 100% of the 60% participating interest currently held by Kinross;  the remaining 40% interest is held by Selkirk Metals Holding Corp.

The property is located along an altered felsic fragmental horizon which hosts the Grindstone Creek Occurrence, a Au-Zn sulphide occurrence with a best drill intersection of 2.08 g/t Au over 18.9 meters including 3.95g/t Au, 132g/t Ag and 3% Zn over 2.1 meters.

The Currie-Bowman property is contiguous to MEK’s recently purchased Tillex copper deposit.  The Tillex deposit was originally discovered in 1973 by Westmin Resources Ltd., where 17 drill holes were completed and the claims were taken to a lease.  A non 43-101 near surface resource of 1,338,000 tonnes grading 1.56% Cu was calculated in 1990 on the deposit by Pacifica Resources Ltd.

Metals Creek Resources has recently performed an EM and magnetic survey and completed a two hole, 276m confirmation drill program which was designed to replicate two previously drilled holes and increase the company’s confidence in the historic non 43-101 resource.  The mineralization targeted by the drilling can be described as chalcopyrite and minor bornite within a mixed sequence of andesite, graphitic argillite, dacite tuff, and feldspar porphyry.

Highlights from the recent drill program included TX08-002 confirming a 97.05m down hole intercept (30.95m to 128m) of 1.194% Cu including 37.05m (30.95 to 68m) of 2.583% Cu.
