  • Undercut of hole TX24-021 results in additional high-grade copper mineralization

Thunder Bay, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - October 31, 2024) - Metals Creek Resources Corp. (TSXV: MEK) (FSE: M1C1) (the "Company" or Metals Creek) is pleased to announce the results from the third hole of the recently completed (See News Release: September 17, 2024) diamond drilling program at the Tillex Copper Project located in Currie Township, 65 km east of Timmins, Ontario and approximately 45 km from the Kidd Creek Met site.

TX24-022 was an undercut (See Fig 1. Schematic Cross Section 135N) of hole TX24-021 (See News Release October 22, 2024) which intersected high grade copper mineralization within mineralized graphitic argillites, feldspar porphyry and dacitic tuffs in an effort to extend mineralization at depth and further refine the fold structure within the central portion of the Tillex Deposit. This hole returned a down hole intercept of 92.05 meters (m) (36.95m to 129.00m) of 2.12% Copper (Cu) and 12.18 grams per tonne (g/t) Silver (Ag) (See Fig.1: Schematic Cross Section). Included in this intersection is higher grade interval of 4.02% Cu and 19.70g/t Ag over 18.40m (108.60m to 127.00m) which is a part of a broader zone of higher-grade mineralization of 3.26% Cu and 20.92g/t Ag over 29.00m (98.00m to 127.00m).

Mineralization consists of locally very fine, pervasive disseminated chalcopyrite, cross-cutting stringers as well as local blebby style to chalcopyrite veins within mineralized graphitic argillites with local pyrite and pyrrhotite. Galena and sphalerite is also locally present. Alteration consists mainly of chlorite and locally pervasive clay alteration with quartz veining and potassic alteration within the feldspar porphyry. Significant folding and fracturing is present within the mineralized stratigraphy resulting in very prominent displacement of stratigraphy. Mineralized feldspar porphyry is also present within the argillites further adding to the exploration potential to the Tillex Copper Project. With the complex structural folding within the Tillex Deposit, tighter drill spacing is required to properly define mineralization both at depth and along strike.
