Metals Creek samples 2.3% Sb at Careless Cove

Executive Summary

  • Metals Creek Resources Corp. released high-grade gold and antimony assay results from follow-up sampling at its Careless Cove property in Newfoundland.
  • The sampling program identified significant antimony values up to 2.3% and gold values ranging from 0.07 to 10.54 g/t, demonstrating a strong correlation between the two metals.
  • The company has received approval for a trenching permit to further evaluate mineralization in the Careless Cove Road zone and plans additional sampling for antimony at other high-grade gold occurrences.

Key Details

  • Antimony Results: High-grade antimony assays returned values up to 2.3% Sb, a significant increase from previous sampling which returned Sb values up to 0.27%.
  • Gold Results: Follow-up prospecting and sampling returned high-grade gold assays ranging from 0.07 to 10.54 grams per tonne (g/t) Au.
  • Sample Context: The high-grade results came from two clusters of samples taken from subcrop to rubble material, located 82 metres apart.
  • Geological Setting: Mineralization is hosted within silicified sediments featuring vuggy quartz, pyrite, arsenopyrite, and stibnite. The antimony is hosted within crosscutting veins containing stibnite-arsenopyrite-quartz.
  • Structural Proximity: The mineralization is located in close proximity to the Dog Bay line, a northeast-trending regional structure, similar to other antimony mineralization near the Beaver Brook antimony mine (located 29 km southwest).
  • Correlation: The results show a strong correlation between high-grade gold and antimony, consistent with previous soil sampling programs that highlighted the area as prospective for these pathfinder elements.
  • Future Work: Several high-grade gold occurrences that have not yet been sampled for antimony will be sampled over the next several weeks.
  • Permitting: Metals Creek recently received approval for a trenching permit application to further evaluate mineralization within the Careless Cove Road zone.
  • Laboratory: Analyses were performed by Eastern Analytical of Springdale, Nfld., with ISO 17025 accreditation. Gold was analyzed via 30-gram fire assay with AA finish; antimony overlimits involved HCl/nitric acid and tartaric acid digestion with AA finish.
  • Qualified Person: Wayne Reid, PGeo, a director of the corporation and qualified person under National Instrument 43-101, supervised the preparation of the release.

Notable Quotes

  • "The high-grade Sb results is highly encouraging, showing a strong correlation between high-grade Au and Sb."
