Executive Summary

  • Metals Creek Resources Corp. released high-grade gold assay results from a second phase of prospecting and mapping at the Naybob West zone of its Ogden gold project in Timmins, Ontario.
  • The program collected 17 surface grab samples, returning gold grades ranging from 0.054 g/t to 12.3 g/t Au, confirming the expansion of high-grade mineralization along strike.
  • The mineralization is associated with a flexure in the alteration zone, changing orientation from easterly to northeasterly, which is considered highly prospective for gold emplacement in the Timmins camp.

Key Details

  • Location: Naybob West zone, Ogden gold project, Timmins, Ontario (400 metres west-northwest of the past-producing Naybob gold deposit).
  • Joint Venture: 50/50 joint venture with Discovery Silver Corp., with Metals Creek as the operator.
  • Previous Context: Follow-up to a September 16, 2025 release that identified a broad zone of strong to intense alteration (fuchsite, sericite, silicification, iron carbonate) with quartz stockwork over a minimum width of 30 metres.
  • Phase 2 Sampling:
    • Collected 17 samples.
    • Gold grades ranged from 0.054 g/t to 12.3 g/t Au.
    • Mineralization remains open to the east and west.
  • Geological Observations:
    • A flexure is evident within Naybob West where the alteration zone orientation changes from easterly to northeasterly.
    • Northeast-trending structures in the Timmins gold camp are considered highly prospective for gold mineralization.
    • Previous phase identified discrete zones with quartz flooding, disseminated pyrite, arsenopyrite, and local galena.
  • Future Plans: Management is in the early stages of planning a trenching program to further evaluate the orientation of the mineralization zone and expand along strike to the east and west.
  • Analytical Method: Samples sent to Activation Laboratories (Thunder Bay, Ont.); analyzed via standard fire assay with atomic absorption finish.
  • Qualified Person: Michael MacIsaac, PGeo, Vice-President, Exploration.

Notable Quotes

  • "This change in orientation is highly important in that northeast-trending structures within the Timmins gold camp are considered to be highly prospective for the emplacement of gold mineralization."
