Identification of New Lead Zinc Mineralization to the North.
Thunder Bay, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - May 29, 2025) -
Metals Creek Resources Corp. (TSXV:
MEK) (FSE: M1C1) (the "Company" or Metals Creek),
is pleased to announce initial results from the
recently completed (See News Release: March 20, 2025) 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 seven diamond drill holes totaling 909.5 meters(m) in an effort to extend copper
mineralization to the north, further define areas of limited to no drilling as well as follow-up on
copper
mineralization drilled outside the mineralized envelope in the previous drill campaign (See new release
February 27, 2025) which returned a downhole intercept of 7.90 meters of 1.27 percent (%) copper (Cu)
and 3.42 grams per tonne (g/t) silver (Ag) in an effort to determine orientation of prospective mineralized
stratigraphy.
TX25-029 extended copper mineralization to the north (Section 180N) and is located one section north
of hole TX24-026 which intersected two zones of mineralization (See news release March 20, 2025)
including 1.00% Cu and 2.19g/t Ag over 21.00m and 0.94% Cu and 4.51g/t Ag over 9.00m. Hole TX25-
029 collared in diabase diking, eventually intersecting mineralized argillites at a downhole depth of 72m
and continuing through weakly mineralized feldspar porphyry. This hole returned a downhole intercept of
0.55% Cu and 1.97 g/t Ag over 9.09m. Mineralization consisted of disseminated to fine stringers of
chalcopyrite in both the argillites and feldspar porphyry becoming finer downhole. Trace to 2% finely
disseminated to stringer galena and local disseminations of sphalerite are also present with associated
1-5% disseminated to blebby pyrite. Mineralization is hosted primarily within altered graphitic argillite,
silicified feldspar porphyry and wackes.
TX25-030 returned no significant assays. This hole collared in a diabase dike and remained in this unit
for the majority of the hole. This hole was an undercut of hole TX24-026 (See news release March 20,
2025).
TX25-031 was engineered to fill in a large gap in historic drilling in which significant portions of these
historic holes were unsampled due to the very fine grained nature of the copper mineralization.
Prospective stratigraphy including the feldspar porphyries were unsampled thus requiring additional
drilling to upgrade the current geological model. This hole returned two intercepts, with the upper zone
drilling a down hole intercept of 46.40m at 1.66% Cu and 3.67g/t Ag. Included in this intersection is a
higher grade interval of 3.40% Cu and 5.64g/t Ag over 19.20m. Mineralization consists primarily of
locally very fine, pervasive disseminated chalcopyrite, cross-cutting chalcopyrite stringers as well as
nodular chalcopyrite to chalcopyrite veins and 1-3% disseminated pyrite within locally strongly folded and
clay altered graphitic argillites. This upper zone also included mineralized feldspar porphyry with stringer
to blebby chalcopyrite with abundant quartz stringers.
A second zone (lower zone) of mineralization was
also intersected similar to that of hole TX24-026. This lower footwall zone of disseminated pyrite and
chalcopyrite is hosted within predominantly finer grained wackes and graphitic argillites and returned a
down hole intercept of 1.03% Cu and 3.41g/t Ag over 15.80m. Sphalerite and galena is also present and
illustrates a strong spacial association with pyrite mineralization. Assays are still outstanding for both
lead and zinc and will be released once over limits are received and compiled. Pyrite mineralization
appears to be increasing to the north as does the presence of galena and sphalerite as illustrated with
holes TX25-029 and 31.

Management is highly encouraged with this latest round of drilling with the identification of prospective
areas of no sampling from historic drilling that are returning high grade copper and silver values as well
as new lead zinc mineralization discovered in hole TX25-029 and 031.
Additional assays will be released once they have been received and compiled.

information forming the basis for this release.
All samples were sent to Activation Laboratories.
Samples utilized aqua regia digestion with analysis
performed by ICP. Over limits were performed by ICP-OES. As part of the Corporations QAQC protocol,
approximately 10% of the samples submitted for assay were also sent for check assays.
Standards and
blanks were inserted randomly into the sample shipments as part of the sampling protocol.
