Metals Creek Resources intersects 4.89 g/t Gold over 3.05 meters at Naybob South
Metals Creek Resources intersects 4.89 g/t Gold over 3.05 meters at Naybob South on its Ogden Property in Timmins, Ontario.
• Intersects 1.03 g/t Gold Over 22.50 Meters at Less Than 25 Meter Vertical Depth
• Additional Results Pending from Porphyry Hill and Thomas Ogden Zones
Toronto, June 8, 2010. Metals Creek Resources Corp. (the “Corporation”, TSXV: “MEK”) is pleased to announce assays results from the first four holes from the recently completed ten hole diamond drill program on it’s Ogden Gold Project in Timmins, Ontario. The project is an Option Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Goldcorp Canada Ltd. and Goldcorp Inc. (“Goldcorp”) to explore Goldcorp’s Ogden gold property in Ogden and Deloro Townships located 6 kilometers south of Timmins city center. The agreement allows for the Corporation to earn a 50% interest in the project by incurring $3.1 million in expenditures and issuing a combination of cash and shares of $460,000 over 4 years. These claims cover eight kilometers of strike length of the Porcupine-Destor Break between Goldcorp’s Dome Mine Complex and Lakeshore Gold’s West Timmins development project. The current program, previously announced by the Corporation, consisted of ten diamond drill holes totaling 2,150 meters targeting Naybob South, Porphyry Hill and the Thomas Ogden Zones. Results of the first four holes, all of which targeted a well mineralized gold system at shallow depths in close proximity to a former high-grade gold producer on the Naybob South Zone, includes near surface intercepts of 4.89 g/t Gold over 3.05m and 1.03 g/t Gold over 22.5m.
Highlights:
OG10-036: 3.05m down hole intercept (63.15m to 66.20m) of 4.89 g/t Gold. This intercept was part of a broader zone of mineralization assaying 2.52 g/t Au over 8.52m.
OG10-023: 22.50m down hole intercept (27.50m to 50.00m) of 1.03 g/t Gold.
OG10-024: 1.00m down hole intercept (54.30m to 55.30m)) of 1.81 g/t Gold and 2.46m down hole intercept (70.38m to 72.84m) of 1.31 g/t Gold.
OG10-034: 2.42m down hole intercept (57.40m to 60.32m) of 2.93 g/t Gold and 6.0m down hole intercept (63.0m to 69.0m) of 1.4 g/t Gold and 1.80m down hole intercept (109.30m to 111.10) of 3.79 g/t Gold.
Note: True thicknesses of drill intercepts are approximately 60-80% of down hole intercepts.
This latest drill program was designed to test three emerging gold zones on the property including near surface mineralization within the Naybob South Zone, porphyry style mineralization within the Thomas Ogden Zone and the Porphyry Hill gold system. The four holes described in this press release were designed to infill areas of limited drilling in order to better define the geometry of the near surface high grade Naybob South gold zone. The Naybob South mineralization consisted of 1-30% pyrite and 1-4% arsenopyrite within strongly albitized, brecciated and quartz veined mafic volcanic. Assays for the remaining six holes will be released as they are received and compiled.
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 to Actlabs located in Thunder Bay, Ontario. 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 showing visible gold are analyzed using the pulp metallic method.
