Metals Creek Resources Corp. (TSXV: MEK) has completed a diamond drilling program at the Tillex Copper Project in Ontario. The program targeted near-surface mineralized areas to upgrade the current geological model. Chalcopyrite mineralization was intercepted in various rock types, including graphitic argillites, greywacke, dacites, and porphyry dikes. The company is encouraged by visual results, particularly chalcopyrite presence in feldspar porphyry dikes. Core samples are being sent for laboratory analysis.

The Tillex project hosts a historic non-compliant resource of 1,338,000 tonnes grading 1.56% Copper. However, this calculation does not meet current NI 43-101 standards and has not been independently verified by the

Il programma ha mirato ad aree mineralizzate prossime alla superficie per migliorare il modello geologico attuale. È stata intercettata mineralizzazione di calcopirite in vari tipi di rocce, inclusi argilliti grafitici, greywacke, daciti e dikes porfirici. L'azienda è incoraggiata dai risultati visivi, in particolare dalla presenza di calcopirite nei dikes porfirici di feldspato. I campioni di nucleo vengono inviati per l'analisi in laboratorio.

Positive
  • Completion of diamond drilling program at Tillex Copper Project
  • Intercepted chalcopyrite mineralization in various rock types
  • Encouraging visual results, especially in feldspar porphyry dikes
  • Historic resource estimate of 1,338,000 tonnes grading 1.56% Copper (non-compliant)
Negative
  • Historic resource estimate is not NI 43-101 compliant and unverified
  • Laboratory results from recent drilling not yet available

Thunder Bay, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - September 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: September 5, 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, greywacke, dacites, and porphyry dikes as disseminated, stringer, blebby style and local narrow sections of semi massive chalcopyrite. 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.

Management is highly encouraged with visual results from this program especially as illustrated below with chalcopyrite mineralization present within the 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.

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 1.56% Copper (Cu) was calculated in 1990 by Pacifica Resources Ltd (Source; Pacifica Resources Ltd., 2005-6 Canadian Mines Handbook, page 318). Mineralization is primarily as chalcopyrite with minor bornite and accessory lead, zinc and silver. However, management notes this calculation does not meet the standards as outlined in National Instrument 43-101, "Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects", and has not been independently validated or verified by the Corporation and should not be relied upon.

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.
