GOLDEN DORY/METALS CREEK RECEIVES FINAL ASSAYS FROM THE IRON HORSE PROJECT, LABRADOR TROUGH
Extends intersection in GLAA12-02 to 354.18 Meters Grading 27.75% Fe
TSX.V-GDR & TSX.V-MEK FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE TORONTO, ONTARIO – November 15, 2012 – Metals Creek Resources Corp., TSX.V: MEK (“Metals Creek”) and Golden Dory Resources Corp., TSX.V: GDR ("Golden Dory") are pleased to report the remaining assays from the recently completed Phase 2 diamond drill program at the Iron Horse Project (formerly the Gabbro Lake Project) in the eastern portion of the prolific Labrador Trough. The program consisted of two components: (i) to test Anomaly A; and (ii) to deepen drill hole GL12-05 (from the Phase 1 program) that ended in mineralization.
Highlights from the Phase 2 program
-
Increasing intersection in GLAA12-02 to 354.18 meters at 27.75% Fe;
-
Extending mineralization at Anomaly A by 200 meters (east);
-
Lower Intersections in GL12-05* doubled in thickness with a 25% increase in grade.
The final results are summarized in the following table (new and revised results in bold):

*GL12-05 was originally drilled to a depth of 314.15 metres where it ended in mineralization. The hole was deepened as part of Phase 2 program. All lengths are core lengths, true thickness in most holes not yet known.
The primary focus of the program was to test Anomaly A, the strongest magnetic target on the property. A total of three holes were drilled and all holes intersected significant thicknesses of iron formation highlighted by GLAA12-02 which cut 354.18 metres of mineralization. GLAA12-02 is a 200 metre undercut of GLAA12-01 and both holes were drilled at a -45 degree angle northwards near the center of Anomaly A. The third hole, (GLAA12-03), was collared 200 m east of the section of holes 1 and 2 and successfully extended iron ore mineralization in that direction by cutting two zones of iron formation up to 100 meters in thickness. In addition to the work at Anomaly A, the deepening of previously drilled hole GL12-05 at Anomaly D was also a success as the lower intersection of iron formation increased in thickness and grade from 55.35 meters grading 24.83% Fe to 104.59 meters grading 30.64% Fe. (see drill plan at www.goldendoryresources.com homepage) The mineralization intersected to date at Anomaly A resembles a meta-taconite dominated by magnetite with lesser specular hematite. Based on core angles and bedding relationships in holes GLAA12-01 and 02, the mineralization appears to be vertical to steeply north dipping and approximately 250 meters in thickness. A change in dip from vertical to a steep northerly dip is suggested by the somewhat thinner and multiple intersections in GLAA12-03 drilled 200 meters east of the section hosting GLAA12-01 and 02. Golden Dory, the project operator, can earn a 70% interest in the project, as announced on May 16, 2012, from Metals Creek Resources Corp. The two companies will form an operating JV once Golden Dory has earned its 70% interest whereby Metals Creek will hold the remaining 30%.
All samples submitted for assay were delivered by Golden Dory personnel to Activation Laboratory’s prep lab in Goose Bay, Labrador. Pulps were then forwarded to Activation Laboratory’s facility in Ancaster, Ontario, for analysis by XRF.
