Metals Creek Resources Corp. Samples 25.7 g/t Gold at Staghorn

Metals Creek Resources Corp. Samples 25.7 g/t Gold at Staghorn and provides update on the Staghorn Project.

 Toronto, May 11, 2010.  Metals Creek Resources Corp. (the “Corporation”, TSXV: “MEK”) is pleased to announce the Corporation has begun prospecting on the Staghorn Property. Initial results include 25.7 g/t gold from a surface grab sample at the Victoria Lake showing, located 15 km NW of  MEK’s Woods Lake Gold Zone and 30 km SW of Marathon PGM’s and Mountain Lake Resources Valentine Lake Deposit. Assays ranged from 0.005 to 25.7 g/t gold from 22 samples.  MEK’s exploration effort at the Staghorn Property has been focused on the auriferous Cape Ray fault system which trends for over 170 km and is host to a number of deposits including the Valentine Lake Deposit, the Woods Lake Zone and the Cape Ray Deposits to the southwest. The Staghorn Property now covers 33 km of strike length along the fault system.

Highlights of previous drilling at the Woods Lake Zone by MEK last fall includes 1.37 g/t over 26.31 meters, including 6.18 g/t over 5.11 meters, and  2.146 g/t gold over 12.60 meters, including 3.651 g/t gold over 6 meters. All 13 holes drilled by MEK intercepted the mineralized porphyry over a 550 meter strike length. The zone remains open in both directions and at depth. The most eastern hole returned 2.146 g/t gold over 12.60 meters and the most western hole returning 0.435 g/t gold over 37.84m, including 2.779 g/t gold over 4.34m.

The 450 claim unit Staghorn Property has also shown good potential for discovery of additional gold mineralization along strike from the Woods Lake Zone. A recently completed airborne magnetic survey indicates the Woods Lake Zone is located within a flexure of the  Cape Ray Fault system and a number of other recently discovered gold showings, within the MEK claim group, are located proximal to this linear feature. These showings are located over a 25 km strike length and exhibit a style of mineralization comparable to the Woods Lake Zone which is described as a highly altered and sulphidized porphyry gold system. Other than prospecting and airborne surveying, very little work has been done outside the Main Zone. Assay results from the outside showings have ranged up to 25.8 g/t gold from the Sure-Shot showing located 1 km to the northeast of Woods Lake and 196.7 g/t gold from float material found at Glimmer Lake, located 8 km to the southwest. Follow-up programs, including soil geochemistry and trenching, are planned on the outside mineralization in 2010.

All samples were sent to Eastern Analytical Ltd in Springdale, Newfoundland.  These samples were assayed using fire assay with an AA finish.
