TORONTO, Dec. 15 /CNW/ - Metals Creek Resources Corp. (the "Corporation",
TSXV: MEK) is pleased to announce additional high grade copper assays,
including 1.834% Cu over 81.13m, from the recently completed diamond drill
program on its Tillex property which is located 65 km east of Timmins, ON and
45 km from Xstrata's Kidd Mill and Metallurgical Site.
Highlights:
- TX08-003 22.87m down hole intercept (50.63m to 73.50m) of 1.05% Cu
including 8.3m (54.00m to 62.30m) of 2.36% 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.
- TX08-015 14m down hole intercept (100.00m to 114.00m) of 1.11% Cu.
This drill program, initially reported November 12, 2008, was designed to
further delineate known copper mineralization within the Tillex Copper Deposit
as well as following up on holes TX08-001 and 002 previously reported October
14, 2008. Assays for 6 holes have been received to date, the first three noted
above as well as 3 holes testing new ground geophysical anomalies. Two of the
holes which tested new targets, returned anomalous base metal values with hole
TX08-018 returning 0.44% Copper over 4 meters and hole TX08-019 returning
0.44% Lead and 0.42% Zn over 5 meters. Hole TX-08-017 returned no significant
results. Management believes with the discovery of new base metal
mineralization outside of the area of historic drilling, the potential for the
discovery of additional mineralization is promising. Mineralization is
described as chalcopyrite with local sphalerite and galena within a mixed
sequence of andesite, graphitic argillite, dacitic tuff and feldspar porphyry.
Additional assays are yet to be returned and will be reported once they
have been 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 while the base metals
were analyzed utilizing acid digestion 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.
