METALS CREEK RESOURCES STAKES CLAIMS IN THE BETTS COVE AREA OF NEWFOUNDLAND
Toronto, March 13, 2009. Metals Creek Resources Corp. (the “Corporation”, TSXV: “MEK”) is pleased to announce that the Corporation has acquired, by staking, additional claims in the Betts Cove area, Baie Verte Peninsula, Newfoundland. A total of 27 claim units (675 hectares) in two separate claim blocks were staked. These new claims cover a portion of a late gabbroic intrusion very similar to rocks in which Metals Creek’s recently announced new Platinum Group Element discovery occurs.
The claims also cover a number of known Gold and Copper mineral occurrences discovered by previous operators. Research conducted by Metals Creek personnel concluded that there has been no assaying recorded for Platinum Group Elements on or near these claims. Historic results are listed below.
Gold Pond - This occurrence consists of two surface gold showings. Samples from the main showing assayed 53.9 g/t Au over 0.20 m and 6.3 g/t Au over 0.25 m. Grab samples from the No. 2 altered mineralized zone returned values up to 11.30 g/t Au.
