Metals Creek Drills 63.9 Meters of 1.94% Copper and 10 g/t Silver at the Tillex Copper Project
Metals Creek Resources Corp. (TSXV: MEK) has announced results from the first hole of its recent diamond drilling program at the Tillex Copper Project in Ontario. Hole TX24-021 returned a 63.9-meter intercept of 1.94% Copper and 10.22 g/t Silver, including higher-grade intervals of 3.21% Cu and 4.77 g/t Ag over 15.2m, and 2.58% Cu and 15.88 g/t Ag over 17.9m. The mineralization consists of disseminated chalcopyrite, stringers, and veins within graphitic argillites and dacitic tuffs. A mineralized feldspar porphyry was also encountered, with copper assays ranging from 0.32% to 1.44%. The company is encouraged by these results and awaits findings from the remaining holes.

Thunder Bay, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - October 22, 2024) - Metals Creek Resources Corp. (TSXV: MEK) (FSE: M1C1) (the "Company" or Metals Creek) is pleased to announce the results from the first 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.
TX24-021 targeted near surface, mineralized graphitic argillites and dacitic tuffs in an effort to upgrade areas of limited drilling and further refine the current geological model. Hole TX24-021 was engineered to infill a gap in the central portion of the Tillex Zone on a section where no holes have been drilled with the purpose of increasing our confidence in the continuity of mineralization. This hole returned a down hole intercept of 63.9 meters (m) (38.6m to 102.5m) of
| Hole Number | Meters From | Meters To | Total Meters | Cu % | Ag g/t |
| TX24-021 | 38.60 | 102.50 | 63.90 | 1.94 | 10.22 |
| including | 43.00 | 49.00 | 6.00 | 1.70 | 32.95 |
| and | 54.00 | 69.20 | 15.20 | 3.21 | 4.77 |
| and | 83.60 | 101.50 | 17.90 | 2.58 | 15.88 |

Mineralization consists of locally very fine, pervasive disseminated chalcopyrite, cross-cutting chalcopyrite stringers as well as local blebby style to narrow massive chalcopyrite veins with local pyrite and pyrrhotite. Galena and sphalerite is also present locally. 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. Mineralized feldspar porphyry is also present within the argillites further adding to the exploration potential to the Tillex Copper Project. Copper assays within the porphyry ranged from 0.32 to
Included in this release is several previously released drill core photos' (See news release September 17, 2024) highlighting the different styles of chalcopyrite mineralization encountered in this program. The reader is cautioned that these photos are for illustration purposes highlighting the different styles of mineralization and do not represent mineralization through the entirety of the holes.
Management is highly encouraged with the results from this first hole received and anxiously await results for remaining holes. Of particular interest is the chalcopyrite mineralization within the potassic altered feldspar porphyry with associated sericite alteration. Chalcopyrite ranges from blebby to stringer mineralization within the feldspar porphyry and is closely associated with quartz veins and pods (See Photo 4). All drill core has been cut and sent to the laboratory and results will be released once they are received and compiled.
The Tillex project is host to the Tillex copper deposit which was originally discovered in 1973 by Westmin Resources Ltd. A historic non 43-101 compliant near surface resource of 1,338,000 tonnes grading
