METALS CREEK RESOURCES CORP. DRILLS HIGH GRADE GOLD ON ITS OGDEN PROPERTY IN TIMMINS, ONTARIO
Toronto, August 10, 2009. Metals Creek Resources Corp. (the “Corporation”, TSXV: “MEK”) is pleased to announce initial assays results from the recently completed 1977 meter, six hole diamond drill program on its Ogden Gold Property in Timmins, Ontario. The results include 6.61 meters of 9.24 g/t gold, including 0.76 meters of 50.1 g/t gold. The Ogden project is an Option Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Goldcorp Canada Ltd. and Goldcorp Inc. (“Goldcorp”) to jointly explore Goldcorp’s Ogden gold property in Ogden and Deloro Townships located 6 kilometers south of Timmins city center. These claims cover eight kilometers of strike length of the highly prospective Porcupine-Destor Break which is host to The Dome Mine complex and five large past producers located between three and eight kilometers to the east of the Property along the gold trend. Recent discoveries in the area include Lake Shore Gold’s and West Timmins Mining Inc.’s Thunder Creek Project, located 10 km to the west of the Property.
Highlights:
• OG09-012 6.61m down hole intercept (45.24m to 51.85m) of 9.244 g/t Au including 0.76m (45.24m to 46.00m) of 50.132 g/t Au
• OG09-010 1.0m down hole intercept (482.50m to 483.50m) of 7.467 g/t Au. This high grade intercept is a part of a broader zone of mineralization with an 11.94m down hole intercept (473.0m to 484.94m) of 1.253 g/t Au
• OG09-009 4.97m down hole intercept (488.00m to 492.97m) of 1.052 g/t Au
• OG09-014 2.0m down hole intercept (45.00m to 47.00m) of 4.023 g/t Au and a 4.0m down hole intercept (66.0m to 70.0m) of 2.742 g/t Au
• OG09-011 0.80m down hole intercept (459.45m to 460.25m) of 3.949 g/t Au
• OG09-013 4.30m down hole intercept (89.00m to 93.3m) of 0.724 g/t Au and a 3.00m down hole intercept (103.00m to 106.00m) of 0.824 g/t Au
Note: True thicknesses of drill intercepts are approximately 60-80% of down hole intercepts.
The drill program, initially reported July 6, 2009, was designed to test the continuity and down plunge extension of the Naybob deposit as well as near surface mineralization on both the Naybob North and South Zones. Hole OG09-012 was drilled within the Naybob South Zone, within an area of limited drilling, to better define the near surface extent of the previously defined historic drilling. Historic drilling within the Naybob South Zone was carried out over a strike length of 600m and down to a vertical depth of 200m, Drill hole separations average approximately 35m and includes two deeper historic holes on the same section as hole OG09-012. The gold mineralization is hosted in a strongly albitized, brecciated mafic volcanic with associated arsenopyrite and pyrite. Visible gold was noted within the upper portion of this intercept. Holes OG09-009, 010, 011, 013 and 014 were drilled within the Naybob North Zone with holes 013 and 014 testing near surface mineralization.
All split core samples were sent to Accurassay, an accredited laboratory in Thunder Bay, Ontario. The precious metals were analyzed utilizing a standard fire assay with an atomic absorption finish. As part of the Corporations QAQC protocol, approximately 10% of the samples submitted for assay were also sent for check assays to Actlabs located in Thunder Bay, Ontario. , Standards and blanks were inserted randomly into the sample shipments as part of the sampling protocol.
Future exploration will continue to test known mineralization of the Naybob North and Naybob South Zones as well the Thomas Ogden Zone located four kilometers to the west of the Naybob mine and six kilometers east of West Timmins Mining and Lakeshore Gold’s Thunder Creek Project. Exploration will also continue on Porphyry hill (see News Release 20 July 2009) , one kilometer west of Naybob, to better define the extent of the mineralization discovered during prospecting.
