METALS CREEK RESOURCES CORP. ANNOUNCES HIGH GRADE GOLD ASSAYS FROM PROSPECTING ON ITS 100% OWNED NIPPERS HARBOUR PROPERTY

 Toronto, August 19, 2009.  Metals Creek Resources Corp. (the “Corporation”, TSXV: “MEK”) is pleased to announce that the Corporation has received assay results from the initial round of prospecting on its Nippers Harbour Property, Baie Verte Peninsula, Newfoundland.  Highlights of the recently completed prospecting program includes 28.08g/t and 20.22g/t gold in outcrop, described as semi-massive to massive sulphides.  Prospectors collected 35 grab samples on the claims, with assays ranging from 20 ppb to 28,083 ppb gold. Mineralization is hosted within the Betts Cove mafic / ultramafic complex and is thought to exhibit similar traits to that of the past producer, the Betts Cove Copper Mine.  Metals Creek’s recently announced new Platinum Group Element discovery is located 6 km east of the Nippers Harbour claim group.

The Nippers Harbour claims were staked by the Corporation in March, 2009.  These claims cover the southern extension of the Betts Cove Ophiolite Complex which hosts a number of past producers including the Tilt Cove Copper Mine, the Betts Cove Copper Mine and the Nugget Pond Gold Mine.  The Corporation now controls, through staking or option agreement, a total of 149 claims units (37.25 sq km) in   the Betts Cove Complex, which includes the Tilt Cove and the Betts Cove Mine properties.

Future work will include soil geochemistry, geological mapping and ground geophysics to better define the mineralization for drill testing.

All samples were sent to Accurassay, an accredited laboratory in Thunder Bay, Ontario.  The precious metals were analyzed utilizing a standard fire assay with an atomic absorption finish.
