Metals Creek Drills 110 Meters of 1.69% Copper and 7.05 g/t Silver at the Tillex Copper Project
Metals Creek Resources Corp. (TSXV: MEK) has announced significant drilling results from hole TX24-020 at the Tillex Copper Project in Ontario. The hole intercepted 110 meters of 1.69% Copper and 7.05 g/t Silver, marking the longest intercept to date at the project. Two higher-grade zones were identified: 2.46% Cu over 26.72m and 3.04% Cu over 23.60m. The mineralization consists of chalcopyrite in various forms with local pyrite and pyrrhotite. The drill hole targeted section 150N to define a prominent flexure in the mineralized stratigraphy, located 65 km east of Timmins and 45 km from the Kidd Creek Met site.

Metals Creek Resources Corp. (TSXV: MEK)는 온타리오의 Tillex Copper Project에서 TX24-020 호에서 중요한 굴착 결과를 발표했습니다. 이 구멍은 110미터에서 1.69% 구리와 7.05 g/t 은을 포함하여 프로젝트에서 가장 긴 인터셉트를 기록했습니다. 두 개의 고등급 구역이 확인되었습니다: 2.46% Cu에 대해 26.72m 및 3.04% Cu에 대해 23.60m. 광물화는 여러 형태의 황동석으로 구성되어 있으며, 지역적으로 황철광과 자철광이 발견됩니다. 드릴 홀은 Timmins에서 동쪽으로 65km, Kidd Creek 기지에서 45km 떨어진 곳에 위치한 광물화된 층의 중요한 굴곡을 정의하기 위해 150N 구역을 목표로 했습니다.
Metals Creek Resources Corp. (TSXV: MEK) a annoncé des résultats de forage significatifs du trou TX24-020 dans le Tillex Copper Project en Ontario. Le trou a intercepté 110 mètres à 1,69% de Cuivre et 7,05 g/t d'Argent, marquant l'interception la plus longue à ce jour dans le projet. Deux zones à haute teneur ont été identifiées : 2,46% Cu sur 26,72m et 3,04% Cu sur 23,60m. La minéralisation se compose de chalcopyrite sous diverses formes avec de la pyrite et de la pyrrhotite locales. Le trou de forage a ciblé le secteur 150N pour définir une flexion remarquable dans la stratigraphie minéralisée, située à 65 km à l'est de Timmins et à 45 km du site de Kidd Creek.
Metals Creek Resources Corp. (TSXV: MEK) hat bedeutende Bohrergebnisse aus dem Loch TX24-020 im Tillex Copper Project in Ontario bekannt gegeben. Das Loch durchteufte 110 Meter mit 1,69% Kupfer und 7,05 g/t Silber, was die längste Durchteufung des Projekts bis heute markiert. Zwei höhergradige Zonen wurden identifiziert: 2,46% Cu über 26,72m und 3,04% Cu über 23,60m. Die Mineralisierung besteht aus Chalkopyrit in verschiedenen Formen mit lokaler Pyrit und Pyrrhotit. Das Bohrloch zielte auf den Abschnitt 150N ab, um eine markante Biegung in der mineralisierten Stratigraphie zu definieren, die 65 km östlich von Timmins und 45 km vom Kidd Creek Standort entfernt liegt.
- Record-length intercept of 110m with 1.69% Cu and 7.05 g/t Ag

Thunder Bay Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - October 24, 2024) - Metals Creek Resources Corp. (TSXV: MEK) (FSE: M1C1) (the "Company" or Metals Creek) is pleased to announce the results for the second hole of the recently completed (See News Release: September 17, 2024) diamond drilling program at the Tillex Copper Project located in Currie Township, 65 km east of Timmins, Ontario and approximately 45 km from the Kidd Creek Met site.
TX24-020 targeted section 150N (See Fig.1: Schematic Cross Section) which exhibits strong folding of the mineralized horizon which includes argillite, feldspar porphyry and dacites. Hole TX24-020 was drilled to infill a gap between holes TX08-002 and TX008-010 to further define a prominent flexure in the mineralized stratigraphy. The drilled intercept has resulted in the longest intercept to date on the Tillex Copper Project returning a downhole intercept of 110 meters (m) of

Mineralization consists of locally very fine, pervasive disseminated chalcopyrite, cross-cutting chalcopyrite stringers as well as nodular chalcopyrite to chalcopyrite veins with local pyrite and pyrrhotite. Alteration consists mainly of chlorite and locally pervasive clay alteration. The mineralized argillites within the Tillex Deposit are structurally complex with significant folding and fracturing. As seen in hole TX24-021, mineralized feldspar porphyry is again present in this hole within the argillites. Copper assays within the porphyry ranged from 0.13 to
