METALS CREEK RESOURCES CORP ANNOUNCES 2.146 G/T GOLD OVER 12.60 METERS AT STAGHORN

Toronto, January 27, 2010.  Metals Creek Resources Corp. (the “Corporation”, TSXV: “MEK”) is pleased to announce results from the remaining eleven drill holes completed at it’s 100% owned Staghorn Project in Newfoundland and Labrador. Highlights from these holes include 2.146 g/t gold over 12.60 meters, including 3.651 g/t gold over 6 meters. All 13 holes drilled by MEK, including 2 holes previously released, intercepted the mineralized porphyry over a 550 meter strike length. The zone remains open in both directions and at depth.  The most eastern hole returned 2.146 g/t gold over 12.60 meters and the most western hole returning 0.435 g/t gold over 37.84m, including 2.779g/t gold over 4.34m.

Sandy Stares, President and CEO of Metals Creek Resources States “Management at Metals Creek is highly encouraged with the continuity of the Staghorn mineralization which has now been traced for over 550m and is still open in both directions and at depth.” 

Mineralization is hosted within a highly altered Felsic Intrusive ranging from 20 to 50m in width with associated quartz stock work, and pervasive arsenopyrite and pyrite mineralization.  This unit is defined by a discrete 7.5 km long magnetic low which extends in both directions. This initial drill program was focused on testing the central part of the target where it was initially exposed through trenching. Additional drill testing, scheduled for 2010 will attempt to further trace this possible “bulk tonnage” style mineralization on strike and below the existing drilling.

The 444 claim unit Staghorn property has also shown good potential for discovery of additional gold mineralization along strike from the Staghorn Zone. A recently completed airborne magnetic survey indicates the Staghorn Zone is located along a major structure (the Cape Ray Fault) and a number of other recently discovered gold showings, within the MEK claim group, are located proximal to this linear feature. These showings are located over a 10 km strike length and exhibit a style of mineralization comparable to the Staghorn Zone. Other than prospecting and airborne surveying, very little work has been done outside the Main Zone. Assay results from the outside showings have ranged up to 25.8 g/t gold from the sure-shot showing located 1 km to the northeast of Staghorn and 196.7 g/t gold from float material found at Glimmer Lake, located 8 km to the southwest. Follow-up programs, including soil geochemistry and trenching, are planned on the outside mineralization in 2010. 

All samples from the drill program were sent to Eastern Analytical Ltd in Springdale, Newfoundland.  These samples were assayed using fire assay with an AA finish.  Blanks and reference samples were inserted randomly as part of the Corporations QAQC protocol including the performance of check assays.
