Metals Creek Returns High-Grade Mineralization with 115.51 g/t Gold over 9.85 meters including 2050 g/t Gold over 0.50 meters at Ogden Gold Project in Timmins, Ontario

Metals Creek Resources Corp. (MEK) has announced high-grade gold assay results from diamond drill hole TOG-26-76 at its Ogden Gold Project in Timmins, Ontario. The hole returned the second-highest grade intercept to date on the project, highlighting significant high-grade zones and visible gold within the Thomas Ogden Zone (TOG) fold structure. The results reinforce the "nugget effect" observed in the TOG, necessitating a systematic drilling approach along the fold hinge for future exploration.

The primary intercept from hole TOG-26-76 returned 115.51 g/t Au over 9.85m (from 296.95m to 306.80m). Within this interval, two high-grade sub-intervals were identified: 356.85 g/t Au over 3.10m (from 301.85m to 304.95m) and 2,050 g/t Au over 0.50m (from 304.45m to 304.95m), which contained very strong visible gold. Mineralization is hosted in strongly altered conglomerates and felsites with pyrite, associated with the TOG fold axis. Features include quartz flooding, veining, and intense hydrothermal alteration.

This result represents the second-highest grade intercept to date. The highest historical intercept was from hole TOG-13-25, which returned 210.19 g/t Au over 12.53m (released May 22, 2013), located 325m west of TOG-26-76. Hole TOG-26-76 was engineered to follow up on hole TOG-22-73 (4.24 g/t Au over 5.61m), which is located 75m vertically below TOG-26-76.

The drilling was part of a three-hole program totaling 1,233 meters, targeting the lower portion of the TOG fold structure with a shallow easterly plunge. Hole TOG-26-76 measured 423m, while hole TOG-26-75 measured 390m and hole TOG-26-77 measured 420m. Samples were analyzed via fire assay with atomic absorption finish; samples >1.0 g/t were re-analyzed gravimetrically, and samples >5.0 g/t or with visible gold were analyzed via pulp metallic method. Samples were sent to Activation Laboratories, Thunder Bay.

Management is highly encouraged with the assay results to date, especially with hole TOG-26-76 returning multiple occurrences of VG and very high-grade gold assays within strongly altered felsite and conglomerate. The high grade nature of hole TOG-26-76 with strong visible gold content demonstrates the strong nugget effect within TOG, thus requiring a systematic approach for drilling on the TOG fold hinge.
