Metals Creek Makes New Discovery While
Trenching 935 Meters West of Main Zone on
the Shabaqua Corners Gold Property
Thunder Bay Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - October 26, 2023) -
Metals Creek Resources Corp. (TSXV:
MEK) (FSE: M1C1) (the "Company" or Metals Creek)
is pleased to announce a new gold discovery
while mechanical surface trenching on the Shabaqua Corners Gold Property.
The property is located within the Shebandowan Greenstone Belt, approximately 54 km west of Thunder
Bay, Ontario near Shabaqua Corners and on trend to Delta Resources Delta 1 project. The property has
seen very little exploration work.
Most of this summer's trenching program was focused primarily on recently discovered gold
mineralization at the Echo Zone (See MEK news release dated August 16, 2023), East Zone and Main
Zone with some additional trenching on some highly prospective peripheral areas with encouraging gold
assays and alteration. This new discovery called the Western Shear Zone (WSZ) was the result of a
trenching program following up on a recce soil grid laid out on the western claim block which returned a
soil assay of 715 ppb (parts per billion), which was the highest assay returned for this summer's soil
sampling program.
Subsequent trenching in the area uncovered a narrow shear zone (WSZ)
where a grab sample returned 18.5 grams per tonne (g/t) gold (Au).
Gold mineralization is
associated with an east-west trending highly weathered very rusty friable shear zone with strong
pervasive iron carbonate alteration and hosted within mafic volcanics. This assay is Metals Creeks
furthest western result to date located approximately 935 meters (m) west of the main zone and the only
known gold occurrence to date on the western claim block. Numerous other soil sample anomalies were
trenched and the results from these and from this summer's trenching program will be released as
assays are received and compiled.
(Note: The surface grab samples described in this news release
are selective by nature and are unlikely to represent average grades of the property.)
The eastern boundary of the property is located 1.57 kilometers(km) west of Delta Resources (DLTA)
drill hole DL-22-18 which returned an intercept of 5.92 g/t Au over 31m (Source: Delta New Release
October 31, 2022). Trenching conducted on Delta's ground 390m east of the property boundary,
returned an interval of 2.22 g/t Au over 8m (Source: Delta Resources Website).
