Metals Creek Provides Update on Tillex Copper Project
Metals Creek Resources Corp. (TSXV: MEK) has completed its diamond drilling program at the Tillex Copper Project, located 65 km east of Timmins, Ontario. The program targeted near-surface mineralized graphitic argillites and dacitic tuffs to upgrade areas with drilling and enhance the current geological model.
The drilling intercepted chalcopyrite mineralization within mineralized graphitic argillites, dacites, and porphyry dikes. Two shallow vertical drill holes were completed outside the current mineralized envelope, with one hole showing promising results after collaring into mineralized graphitic argillite and porphyry containing chalcopyrite. Some areas remain inaccessible due to wet ground conditions and will be drilled later this winter once conditions improve.
Metals Creek Resources Corp. (TSXV: MEK) ha completato il suo programma di perforazione a diamante presso il Tillex Copper Project, situato a 65 km a est di Timmins, Ontario. Il programma ha mirato a argilliti grafiche mineralizzate e tufi dacitici prossimi alla superficie per migliorare le aree mediante perforazione e potenziare il modello geologico attuale.
La perforazione ha intercettato mineralizzazione di calcopirite all'interno di argilliti grafiche mineralizzate, daciti e dykes porfirici. Sono stati completati due fori di perforazione verticali poco profondi al di fuori dell'attuale involucro mineralizzato, con un foro che ha mostrato risultati promettenti dopo aver colpito argillite grafica mineralizzata e porfido contenente calcopirite. Alcune aree rimangono inaccessibili a causa delle condizioni di terreno umido e saranno perforate più avanti quest'inverno, una volta che le condizioni miglioreranno.

Se completaron dos agujeros de perforación verticales poco profundos fuera del actual envolvente mineralizado, con un agujero mostrando resultados prometedores después de acceder a argilita grafítica mineralizada y porfido que contiene calcopirita. Algunas áreas siguen siendo inaccesibles debido a las condiciones de suelo húmedo y se perforarán más adelante este invierno una vez que las condiciones mejoren.
Metals Creek Resources Corp. (TSXV: MEK)는 온타리오주 팀민스에서 동쪽으로 65km 떨어진 Tillex Copper Project에서 다이아몬드 시추 프로그램을 완료했습니다. 이 프로그램은 수면 가까이에 있는 광물화된 흑래이트와 다시틱 톱을 목표로 하여 시추를 통해 지역을 업그레이드하고 현재의 지질 모델을 향상시키는 것을 목표로 했습니다.
시추 작업에서 광물화된 흑래이트, 다사이트 및 포리파이를 포함한 칼코파이레 광물화가 교차되었습니다. 현재의 광물화된 경계 외부에서 두 개의 얕은 수직 시추 홀이 완료되었으며, 한 홀에서는 칼코파이레가 포함된 광물화된 흑래이트 및 포리파이에 접속한 후 유망한 결과를 보여주었습니다. 일부 지역은 습기 있는 땅 상태로 인해 접근이 불가능하며, 조건이 개선되면 이번 겨울 후반에 시추될 예정입니다.
Metals Creek Resources Corp. (TSXV: MEK) a terminé son programme de forage au diamant au Tillex Copper Project, situé à 65 km à l'est de Timmins, Ontario. Le programme visait des argilites graphitiques et des tufs dacitiques près de la surface pour améliorer les zones grâce à des forages et renforcer le modèle géologique actuel.
Le forage a intercepté une minéralisation de chalcopyrite au sein d'argilites graphitiques minéralisées, de dacites et de filons porphyriques. Deux forages verticaux peu profonds ont été réalisés en dehors de l'enveloppe minéralisée actuelle, l'un des forages ayant montré des résultats prometteurs après avoir pénétré dans des argilites graphitiques minéralisées et du porphyre contenant de la chalcopyrite. Certaines zones restent inaccessibles en raison des conditions de sol humide et seront forées plus tard cet hiver une fois que les conditions s'amélioreront.
Metals Creek Resources Corp. (TSXV: MEK) hat sein Diamantbohrprogramm im Tillex Copper Project, das 65 km östlich von Timmins, Ontario, liegt, abgeschlossen. Das Programm zielte auf mineralisierte grafitische Tonsteine und dazitische Tuffe in der Nähe der Oberfläche ab, um Bereiche durch Bohrungen aufzuwerten und das aktuelle geologische Modell zu verbessern.
Die Bohrungen haben Kupfermineralisierung innerhalb mineralisierter grafitischer Tonsteine, Dacit und Porphyrgang durchstoßen. Zwei flache vertikale Bohrlöcher wurden außerhalb der aktuellen mineralisierten Hülle abgeschlossen, wobei ein Bohrloch vielversprechende Ergebnisse zeigte, nachdem es mineralisierte grafitische Tonsteine und Porphyr mit Kupfermineralisierung durchstachen. Einige Bereiche bleiben aufgrund feuchter Bodenverhältnisse unzugänglich und werden später in diesem Winter gebohrt, sobald sich die Bedingungen verbessern.
- Discovery of new chalcopyrite mineralization outside current mineralized envelope
- Successful interception of multiple mineralization styles in drilling program
- Potential for resource expansion with new western mineralized stratigraphy
- Drilling program partially delayed due to wet ground conditions
- Laboratory results pending - no confirmed grades available yet
Thunder Bay Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - December 17, 2024) - Metals Creek Resources Corp. (TSXV: MEK) (FSE: M1C1) (the "Company" or Metals Creek) is pleased to announce the completion of the previously announced (See News Release: November 26, 2024) diamond drilling program at the Tillex Copper Project located in Currie Township, 65 km east of Timmins, Ontario.
Drilling targeted near surface, mineralized, graphitic argillites and dacitic tuffs in an effort to upgrade areas of limited drilling and further upgrade the current geological model. During this drill program, chalcopyrite mineralization was intercepted within mineralized graphitic argillites, dacites, and porphyry dikes as disseminated and stringer style copper mineralization. Included in this release is a series of drill core photo's 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 hole.
Two shallow vertical drill holes were drilled outside the current mineralized envelope in an effort to potentially expand the prospective mineralized stratigraphy to the west. One of these drill holes collared into mineralized graphitic argillite and porphyry with chalcopyrite present. This hole exhibits similarities to that of the tillex geology.
Due to wet ground conditions, certain areas on the property were inaccessible during this drill program and will be drilled later this winter once freezing occurs and ground conditions improve.
Management is highly encouraged with visual results from this program as illustrated below with chalcopyrite mineralization present within the graphitic argillites and feldspar porphyry dikes. Drill core is currently being cut and sent to the laboratory and results will be released once they are received and compiled.
Michael MacIsaac, P.Geo and VP Exploration for the Corporation and a qualified person as defined in National Instrument 43-101, is responsible for this release, and supervised the preparation of the information forming the basis for this release.
