Metals Creek Resources Corp. Resumes Drilling on the Ogden Gold Project
Metals Creek Resources Corp. (the “Corporation”, TSXV: MEK) is pleased to announce the recommencement of diamond drilling on the Ogden Property in the Timmins Gold Camp, Ontario. This next phase of drilling will consist of approximately 8 holes targeting the Thomas Ogden Zone. The Ogden claims cover eight kilometers of strike length of the Porcupine-Destor Break between Goldcorp’s Dome Mine and Lake Shore Gold’s West Timmins development project. Metals Creek and Goldcorp Canada Ltd. and Goldcorp Inc. (Goldcorp) have recently formed a 50/50 joint venture on The Ogden Gold project.
Previous drilling in 2012 resulted in the discovery and partial definition of a zone of shallow gold mineralization at the Thomas Ogden Zone. Holes TOG 12-03 to TOG-12-10 (inclusive) all intersected significant gold mineralization (see press releases dated 03 and 16 of April, 15 May, 2012 and 15 January 2013) and this next program will attempt to expand on and better define the zone. Highlights from the previous 2012 drilling at Thomas Ogden are outlined in the table below:
