MEK announces final results from Ogden drill program, including 1.1 g/t gold over 14.8

Toronto, March 03, 2011.  Metals Creek Resources Corp. (the “Corporation”, TSXV: “MEK”) is pleased to announce assay results for the final three holes drilled during its recently completed fall, 2010 drill program on the Ogden Gold Project  in Timmins, Ontario. The Ogden property covers an 8 km strike length of the Porcupine-Destor Fault and is located 8 km west of, and along strike from Goldcorp’s Dome Mine Complex and 10 km east of Lakeshore Gold’s West Timmins development project. The project is under option from Goldcorp Canada Ltd. and Goldcorp Inc. and a new drill program previously announced February 25, 2011 is currently underway.

These latest results from drilling include two holes targeted on the Thomas Ogden Zone and one on the Naybob South Zone. At Thomas Ogden, hole TOG-10-04 intersected a near surface intercept assaying 1.1 g/t (grams per tonne) gold over 14.8m (meters) within an altered porphyry with associated pyrite and strong silicification and a second zone assaying 2.55 g/t gold over 4m within a strong sericite alteration zone.  Hole TOG-10-04 represents the furthest west intercept of the Thomas Ogden Zone 25m west of hole TOG-10-08 which returned an intercept of 8.22 g/t gold over 4.4m (see news release June 21, 2010).

The second Thomas Ogden hole returning a down hole intercept of 25m of 0.625 g/t gold and is located 25m east of hole TOG-10-08.  The gold mineralization in hole TOG-10-05 is hosted at the porphyry-volcanic contact with the majority of which is hosted by the porphyry.
 

The latest drill results include:
TOG-10-04: Targeted on the Thomas Ogden Zone – 14.8m down hole intercept (129.77m to 144.57m) at 1.1 g/t gold.  A second zone 30m footwall to Thomas Ogden Zone intercepted a 4m down hole intercept (156.56m to 160.56m) of 2.54 g/t gold.
TOG-10-05: Targeted on the Thomas Ogden Zone – 25.0m down hole intercept (137.0 to 162.0m) of 0.625 g/t gold.
OG-10-33: Targeted on the Naybob South Zone - 3.0m down hole intercept (43.0m to 46.0) of 0.988 g/t gold.

Note:  Due to the limited amount of drilling in the Thomas Ogden area, true widths and orientation of the porphyry unit are not known at this time.  True widths in the Naybob South area is approximately 70-80% of down hole intercepts.


The Ogden Gold Project is under Option from Goldcorp Canada Ltd. and Goldcorp Inc. (“Goldcorp”). Metals Creek can earn a 50% interest in the Project by incurring $3.1 million in expenditures and issuing a combination of cash and shares totaling $460,000 over 4 years.

All split core 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.  As part of the Corporations QAQC protocol, approximately 10% of the samples submitted for assay were also sent for check assays.  Standards and blanks were inserted randomly into the sample shipments as part of the sampling protocol.  Samples with fire assay results above 1.0 g/t gold are re-analyzed using a gravimetric finish and samples with fire assay results above 5.0 g/t gold or samples exhibiting visible gold are analyzed using the pulp metallic method.
