MEK Updates Timmins Drilling

METALS CREEK RESOURCES UPDATES ITS TIMMINS DRILLING PROGRAM

  • INTERSECTS 1.65% CU, 33.23g/t AG OVER 85.48 METERS, INCLUDING 5.55 % CU and 355g/t AG OVER 5 METERS AT ITS TILLEX COPPER PROJECT
  • DRILLING COMMENCES ON THE OGDEN GOLD PROJECT


Toronto, Sept 28, 2011.  Metals Creek Resources Corp. (the “Corporation”, TSX-V: MEK) is pleased to announce assay results from its recently completed 5 hole, 745 meter diamond drill program on its 85 per cent owned Tillex Copper Project, located in Currie Township, 65 km east of Timmins, Ontario.


Since completion of the Tillex drilling, the drill was mobilized to MEK’s Ogden Gold Project, south of Timmins. A minimum of 3000 meters is planned on the Thomas Ogden and Naybob Zones and three holes have been completed to date. Results will be released as they are received and compiled.


Results from the Tillex Copper program include a 85.48m (meter) intercept of 1.65% Cu (copper) and 33.23 g/t (grams per tonne) Ag (silver) including a higher grade intercept of 5.29% Cu and 355 g/t Ag over 5m from hole TX11-008.  Hole TX11-006 returned 0.85% Cu and 9.36 g/t Ag over 33m, including 2.06% Cu and 6.35g/t Ag over 9.5m.  All 5 holes were designed to increase drill density and further define copper mineralization within the historic Tillex Copper Deposit, which was originally discovered in 1973 by Westmin Resources Ltd as well as provide a better understanding of the geology within the central portion of the deposit.  Mineralization consists of disseminated and stringer chalcopyrite within a mixed sequence of andesite, graphitic argillite, dacitic tuff and feldspar porphyry.


The Tillex Copper Deposit continues to demonstrate near surface potential with the majority of the mineralization within 150m of surface. Xstrata’s Kidd Creek base metal mill is located 45 kilometers by road from the deposit.
Results from this latest round of drilling are as follows:
