Sokoman Minerals Returns Clarks Brook to Metals Creek
Metals Creek Resources Partner, Sokoman Minerals Drills 25.8 Meters of 1 G/T Gold, Returns Clarks Brook to Metals Creek
Toronto, 25 September, 2019 - Metals Creek Resources Corp. (TSX-V: MEK) (OTC: MCREF) (Metals Creek or “the company”) announces that they have been advised by their option/joint venture partner, Sokoman Minerals Corp. (TSX-V: SIC) (OTCQB: SICNF) (or “Sokoman”) that the diamond drilling program at the Clarks Brook property, under option from Metals Creek Resources Corp. has been completed. The 3-hole program tested the depth potential of the surface gold mineralization which was first drilled, and intersected, by Sokoman in its initial 2017/2018 drill program. Hole CB-19-08, drilled into the centre of the magnetic anomaly and under cutting DDH's CB-18-6, 7 (see news release April 5, 2018) returned multiple zones of anomalous gold mineralization to a vertical depth of 400 metres with the highest values, from 73.6 to 80 m (6.4 m) at 2.26 g/t Au. Holes CB-19-09, 10, drilling the southern extension of the magnetic anomaly, verified widespread anomalous gold mineralization.

Note: Sample intervals reported are core lengths, true widths are not known at this time.
Intervals of vuggy, chalcedonic, quartz veining with 1-3% disseminated pyrite, minor arsenopyrite and very minor stibnite, were intersected in hole CB-19-08 over intervals of up to 26 metres (core length - true thickness not known) giving values of 1 g/t Au with subintervals with values up to 0.80 metres of 5.94 g/t Au.
Sokomon’s President and CEO Timothy Froude states “While the gold results showed a significant gold endowment in the area, which was encouraging, given our current emphasis on the Moosehead property and a heavy work commitment in 2020 to continue with the Clarks Brook option, the Company has decided to return the property to Metals Creek Resources Corp. Sokoman will not retain any interest the Clarks Brook property.”
Metals Creek would like to thank Sokomon Minerals for the high-quality exploration work performed on the Clark’s Brook project and wishes them the best of luck on their Moosehead Project.
Management at Metals Creek is highly encouraged by the latest results from this program which include intersecting 25.8m of 1.00 g/t gold with the presence of strong indicator minerals.
