Metals Creek completes trenching program at Ogden

MEK · Price

Executive Summary

  • Metals Creek Resources Corp. completed a surface trenching program at the Naybob West zone of its Ogden gold project in Timmins, Ontario, following up on high-grade prospecting results from October 2025.
  • The program successfully expanded the known strike extent of the mineralization by approximately 70 meters to the east and west, confirming the zone remains open in both directions.
  • Key geological findings include intense alteration (fuchsite, sericite, silicification) and structural folding, with a change in orientation from easterly to northeasterly, which is considered highly prospective for gold emplacement in the Timmins camp.

Key Details

  • Project Location: Naybob West zone, Ogden gold project, Timmins, Ontario.
  • Joint Venture: 50/50 joint venture with Discovery Silver Corp., with Metals Creek serving as the operator.
  • Program Objective: To define the orientation and nature of gold mineralization and expand the strike extent of the Naybob West zone.
  • Geological Context: Mineralization is hosted within a broad zone of strong to intense alteration (fuchsite, sericite, silicification, iron carbonate) with associated quartz stockwork over a minimum width of 30 meters.
  • Mineralization Characteristics: Discrete zone featuring quartz flooding, disseminated pyrite, arsenopyrite, and local galena; primary textures are destroyed.
  • Sampling Results:
    • 60 surface grab samples were collected.
    • Previous prospecting/mapping (Oct 28, 2025) returned high-grade mineralization ranging from 0.054 g/t to 12.3 g/t Au.
    • Mineralization traced for approximately 70 meters along strike.
  • Structural Observations: Structural folding is present; the orientation of the alteration zone changes from easterly to northeasterly. Northeast-trending structures in the Timmins gold camp are considered highly prospective for gold.
  • Additional Sampling: Six lines of soil sampling were conducted along the interpreted strike of the alteration package.
  • Operational Constraints: Additional trenching could not be completed due to the onset of winter conditions.
  • Future Work: Assay results from the surface grab samples are pending and will be released once received and compiled by Activation Laboratories in Thunder Bay, Ontario.
  • Qualified Person: Michael MacIsaac, PGeo, Vice-President of Exploration, reviewed and approved the disclosure.
