METALLIS DRILLS INTO MINERALIZED MONZONITE,
RAMPS UP EXPLORATION PROGRAM
September 1, 2017
Vancouver, British Columbia : Metallis Resources Inc. (TSX-V: MTS) (“Metallis” or the “Company”) is
pleased to provide the following progress update on its 2017 exploration and drilling program at its 100%
owned Kirkham Property in the Golden Triangle’s Eskay Camp.
Highlights are as follows:
The first two drill holes have been completed at the Cliff gold -rich copper porphyry target,
reaching a dep th of 418 meters in KH -17-02, and a third drill hole has started from a lower
elevation further to the south;
Drill core in KH -17-01 and KH -17-02 intersected mineralized and altered monzonite throughout
and supports the theory that mineralization improves with depth as the alteration becomes more
potassic. Assays will be reported as soon as they are received and confirmed;
Crews continue to prepare for drilling at the King high -grade gold target to the north, adjacent to
the 6-km-long Hawilson monzonite;
New surface exploration program is launched.
King East Target Area
Following a fresh interpretation of local and regional geophysical surveys, Metallis is launching an
immediate geological mapping and surface sampling program in the King East area, approximately 1 km
from the King gold target, where a cluster of airborne magnetic anomalies are aligned parallel to the
regional Eskay Rift. The flanks of the Hawilson porphyry are considered very prospective for high-grade
gold-bearing shear/vein deposits.
Technical Team Addition
Metallis is pleased to announce that Dr. Abdul Razique, a specialist in northwest B ritish Columbia mineral
systems who has been very active in the Eskay Camp, has joined the on -site team and is making a
valuable contribution. Dr. Razique has over 20 years’ experience in mineral exploration and the mining
industry with various companies, including BHP Minerals, Antofagasta Minerals, Garibaldi Resources and
Evrim Resources. He was a key member of the exploration team that discovered one of the world's
largest porphyry Cu-Au (Mo) deposits at Reko Diq in western Pakistan.
