Tillex - ON
The property is located in Currie Township near the township of Matheson in Northern Ontario with excellent infrastructure. Work performed by Metals Creek has included linecutting, geological mapping, ground geophysics and diamond drilling.
The Tillex project is host to the Tillex copper deposit which was originally discovered in 1973 by Westmin Resources Ltd., where 17 drill holes were completed and the claims were taken to a lease. A historic non 43-101 compliant near surface resource of 1,338,000 tonnes grading 1.56% Cu was calculated in 1990 on the deposit by Pacifica Resources Ltd. However, management notes this calculation does not meet the standards as outlined in National Instrument 43-101, "Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects", and has not been independently validated or verified by the Corporation and should not be relied upon.
Metals Creek completed an EM-MAG survey and a 2276m drilled program in 2008. Highlights of the drill program include TX08-002 97.05 m down hole intercept (30.95m to 128m) of 1.194% Cu including 37.05m (30.95m to 68m) of 2.583% Cu, TX08-004 81.13m down hole intercept (42.00m to 123.13m) of 1.83% Cu, including 27.00m (53.00 to 80.00m) of 2.73% Cu, and TX08-005 71.49m down hole intercept (51.51m to 123.00m) of 1.29 % Cu, including 34.29m (73.66m to 107.95m) of 2.16% Cu.
Additional drilling took place in 2011 and most recently in September of 2024. Highlights of the 2024 drilling include down hole intercepts of 110.00m (34.00 to 144.00m) @ 1.69% Cu (TX24-020), 63.90m (38.60 to 102.50m) @ 1.94% Cu (TX24-021) and 92.05m (36.95 to 129.00m) @ 2.12% Cu (TX24-022).
