Metals Creeks Identifies Additional Gold
Mineralization on the Shabaqua Corners Gold
Property
Thunder Bay, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - July 20, 2023) -
Metals Creek Resources Corp.
(TSXV:
MEK) (FSE:M1C10)
(the "Company" or Metals Creek)
is pleased to announce the identification of
another prospective area of gold mineralization through geological mapping and sampling on its recently
acquired Shabaqua Corners 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.
Geological mapping and sampling has led to the identification of similar style mineralization (South
Zone) to that of main zone (See news release: May 25, 2023) with assays ranging from 7 parts per
billion (ppb) Au to 2120 ppb (2.12 grams per tonne Au). South Zone is located approximately 25 meters
(m) south of the main zone and exhibits similar style mineralization and alteration to that of main zone.
Gold mineralization is hosted within an iron carbonate altered mafic volcanics with associated quartz-
carbonate veining and local stockwork. South Zone is striking roughly the same orientation to that of the
main zone with mineralization open in both directions. Alteration consists of pervasive iron carbonate
with strong silicification and mineralization entails trace to 3% disseminated pyrite with local trace
arsenopyrite (see figure 1). The identification of similar style mineralization in close proximity to that of
main zone further adds to the exploration potential of the Shabaqua Corners Gold Project. South Zone
also validates the theory that parallel gold bearing structures are common within the Shebandowan
Greenstone Belt as demonstrated within other projects in the Shebandowan Greenstone Belt. An
exploration permit has been applied for, trenching in this and other areas on the property can take place
when the permit is received.
(Note: The surface grab samples described in this news release are
selective by nature and are unlikely to represent average grades of the property.)
Prospecting and geological mapping is ongoing with the aim of further delineating known gold
mineralization along strike as well as continuing to evaluate other portions 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).
All samples were sent to Activation Laboratories.
The precious metals were analyzed utilizing a standard
fire assay with an atomic absorption finish.
