MEK intesects 3.16g/t Au over 13.4m at Ogden

Metals Creek intersects 3.16 g/t gold over 13.4 meters within porphyry style mineralization at Thomas Ogden Zone in Timmins, Ontario

Toronto, April 26, 2011.  Metals Creek Resources Corp. (the “Corporation”, TSXV: “MEK”) is pleased to announce  assay results from the initial two holes of its recently completed 7 hole 2,210 meter diamond drill program on the Ogden Gold Project in Timmins, Ontario, which is under option from the Porcupine Joint Venture, a joint venture between Goldcorp Canada Ltd. and Goldcorp Inc.

Results from the latest drilling targeted on the Thomas Ogden Zone include an intercept (265.0m to 278.4m) from hole TOG-11-01 of 3.16 g/t (grams per tonne) gold over 13.4m (meters) within an altered porphyry including a higher grade portion of 5.37 g/t gold over 5.2m This hole was collared 25m above a previously released hole TOG-10-11 (see MEK news release January 11, 2011) which returned a down hole intercept of 5.0m assaying 5.83 g/t gold.  The second hole (TOG-11-07) intersected 2.04 g/t gold over 3.0 m between 200.0m and 203.0m and a lower zone assaying 3.08 g/t gold over 2.36m between 245.7m and 248.06m). This hole is the furthest west hole drilled by the Corporation to date. A total of 7 holes were drilled in this latest drill program, targeting the Thomas Ogden Zone. The remaining 5 holes will be released as assays are received and compiled.

(Note:  Due to the limited amount of drilling in the Thomas Ogden area, true widths and orientation of the mineralization is not known at this time)

The Thomas Ogden Zone is proximal to the Porcupine-Destor Fault and hosted by altered porphyries and mafic to ultramafic volcanic rocks analogous with the geological setting of the majority of the larger gold deposits in the 70 million ounce Timmins District. 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. Since optioning the property from Goldcorp in 2008 the corporation has had success in drilling on four separate mineralized zones, Naybob North, Naybob South, Thomas Ogden  and Porphyry Hill, all of which remain open for expansion.
 
Results were also received from a ground IP (Induced Polarization) geophysical program on the portion of the property to the west of the Thomas Ogden zones where very little exploration has taken place. This IP program has identified at least 4 high priority exploration targets that the Corporations intends to test in the near future. Subsequent to this, the grid has been extended and the IP program is ongoing.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.
