METALS CREEK RESOURCES CORP. ANNOUNCES HIGH GRADE GOLD ASSAYS FROM ITS WICKS LAKE PROPERTY IN NORTHWESTERN ONTARIO
Toronto, June 16, 2009. Metals Creek Resources Corp. (the “Corporation”, TSXV: MEK) is pleased to announce that the Corporation has received high grade assay results from its Wicks Lake Property, located within the Kenora Mining District, approximately 70km southeast of the city of Kenora, in Northwestern Ontario. The property consists of 11 unpatented claim units and is part of the Corporation’s Dogpaw- Stephens Lake Project.
The property lies within the central portion of the east-west trending Wabigoon greenstone belt and is host to several historic gold occurrences which have seen little or no recent exploration. This portion of the Wabigoon greenstone belt is an emerging gold camp with exciting drill intercepts coming from both Houston Lake Mining (PR: HLM – TSX-V, May 12, 2009) and Rainy River Resources (PR: RR-TSX-V, Jan. 27,2009). The Corporation has a significant underexplored land package and additional geological mapping, line cutting and ground geophysics is planned this summer with the goal of quickly moving this project to the drill stage.
This first phase of prospecting and mapping was initiated to determine the lateral extent of the historic Wicks Lake Occurrence. A total of 30 samples were collected across the property with assays ranging from 0.008 g/t to 46.06 g/t gold. The main Wicks Lake Occurrence was traced for over 550 meters of strike length, by Metals Creek staff. Assay results included the previously mentioned high grade assay of 46.06 g/t Au, which was obtained from a carbonatized quartz vein with associated pyrite mineralization. A second quartz vein was located 90m to the south and is sub-parallel to the main Wicks Lake Occurrence. Three samples were collected from this second vein, returning assays ranging from 1.51 g/t to 4.5 g/t gold. This second vein has been traced for a minimum of 180m. A third zone located on the western portion of the property returned assays ranging from 0.359 g/t to 3.267 g/t gold within an intensely carbonatized felsic volcanic with associated pyrite mineralization.
All assays were sent to Accurassay Laboratories, an accredited laboratory in Thunder Bay, Ontario. The gold was analyzed utilizing a standard fire assay and an atomic absorption finish.
