GOLD: Metals Creek discovers new outcrop in Timmins camp

ONTARIO – Toronto-based Metals Creek Resources said a short prospecting program recently led to the discovery of a new mineralized gold showing about 465 metres southeast of the Thomas Ogden zone. The Ogden property is 6 km south of Timmins, and is a 50-50 joint venture with Goldcorp.

Results from grab samples range from 23 ppb gold to 1,340 ppb. Pyrite and arsenopyrite range from 2% to 15%, co-incident with a 600-metre long moderate to strong induced polarization anomaly. Metals Creek also reported drilling results from the final two holes of a small (980-metre), four-hole program. Hole TOG-17-53 intersected the mineralized zone at a known-hole depth of 322 metres and assayed 2.11 g/t gold over 12.45 metres. The same hole also cut 1.85 g/t over 2.43 metres at a depth of 332 metres. Hole TOG-17-54 was drilled 435 metres west of the Thomas Ogden zone. It assayed 1.08 g/t gold over 1.38 metres at a depth of 177.77 metres. Please visit www.MetalsCreek.com for more information about the Ogden property.
