Metals Creek Drills 41.3 Meters of 1.51% Copper and 9.39 g/t Silver at the Tillex Copper Project
Metals Creek Resources (TSXV: MEK) has announced significant drilling results from its Tillex Copper Project in Ontario, located 65 km east of Timmins. The program, completed in February 2025, comprised five diamond drill holes totaling 539.8m.
Key highlights include hole TX24-027 intersecting 41.3 meters of 1.51% copper and 9.39 g/t silver, and a second zone yielding 1.70% copper and 7.04 g/t silver over 13.95m.

Thunder Bay, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - February 27, 2025) - Metals Creek Resources Corp. (TSXV: MEK) (FSE: M1C1) (the "Company" or Metals Creek) is pleased to announce results from the recently completed (See News Release: November 26, 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.
This program entailed five diamond drill holes totaling 539.8m in an effort to target near surface mineralized graphitic argillites and dacitic tuffs, and upgrade areas of limited drilling and further refine the current geological model. Among these five holes were two shallow vertical exploration holes, drilled west outside the mineralized envelope in an effort to potentially expand prospective stratigraphy and ascertain its orientation.
TX24-024 was a shallow vertical exploration hole drilled west of the current mineralized envelope in an effort to drill test prospective stratigraphy. This hole collared and finished in a diabase dike with no significant assays.
TX24-025 was the second vertical diamond drill hole north of hole TX24-024. This hole encountered mineralized graphitic argillites with disseminated to fine stringers of chalcopyrite and disseminated pyrite as well as mineralized feldspar porphyry. This hole exhibits strong similarities to the Tillex deposit with presence of mineralized porphyries and graphitic argillites. Both these units host the majority of the mineralization within the Tillex mineralized envelope. This hole returned a down hole intercept of 7.90 meters (m) of 1.27 percent (%) copper (Cu) and 3.42 grams per tonne (g/t) silver (Ag). (See Table 1 - Drill Results below for more details).
TX24-026 was an undercut (See Fig 2. Schematic Cross Section 165N) of hole TX08-015 which intersected two zones of copper mineralization within mineralized graphitic argillites, feldspar porphyry and dacitic tuffs. Hole TX24-026 was engineered to extend both zones of mineralization to depth and further define their orientation and the degree of folding as seen within the central portion of the Tillex Deposit. This hole returned two intercepts with the upper zone returning a down hole intercept of 39.25m at
TX24-027 was a step back (See Fig 1. Schematic Cross Section 135N) of hole TX24-022 (See news release October 31, 2024) which was unable to be completed through the mineralized zone due to faulting and very poor ground conditions. Hole TX24-027 was collared east and engineered in an attempt to define the contact between mineralized argillites and a diabase dike, as well as extend mineralization at depth, intersected at the bottom of hole TX24-022. This hole was successful in drilling through the poor ground conditions and through mineralization. TX24-027 returned two intercepts of high-grade copper mineralization. The first, near surface zone, cut a down hole intercept of 41.3m of
TX24-028 was drilled further to the south on section 15N, approximately 120m south of hole TX24-027. This hole was designed to undercut hole TX11-006 which returned a downhole intercept of 33.00m grading
