Metals Creek Resources Corp. (TSXV: MEK) has announced significant drilling results from their Tillex Copper Project in Ontario. The drill hole TX25-033 revealed two high-grade copper zones: the first returning 1.87% copper and 77.25 g/t silver over 10.70m, and the second yielding 1.04% copper and 4.23 g/t silver over 17.40m, including a higher-grade section of 1.57% copper and 6.30 g/t silver over 9.10m. The drilling program, consisting of seven diamond drill holes totaling 909.5 meters, aimed to extend copper mineralization northward and follow up on previously identified mineralization. The mineralization was found in graphitic argillite with chalcopyrite and pyrite, showing strong folding and clay alteration. The project is strategically located 65 km east of Timmins and 45 km from the Kidd Creek Met site.

Il foro di sondaggio TX25-033 ha rivelato due zone di rame ad alto tenore: la prima con un contenuto di rame dell'1,87% e argento a 77,25 g/t su 10,70 m, la seconda con rame all'1,04% e argento a 4,23 g/t su 17,40 m, includendo una sezione a tenore pi霉 elevato con rame all'1,57% e argento a 6,30 g/t su 9,10 m. Il programma di perforazione, composto da sette fori diamantati per un totale di 909,5 metri, mirava a estendere la mineralizzazione di rame verso nord e a seguire la mineralizzazione precedentemente identificata. La mineralizzazione 猫 stata trovata in argillite grafitica con calcopirite e pirite, mostrando pieghe marcate e alterazione argillosa. Il progetto 猫 strategicamente situato a 65 km a est di Timmins e a 45 km dal sito Kidd Creek Met.

Metals Creek Resources Corp. (TSXV: MEK) hat bedeutende Bohrergebnisse von ihrem Tillex Copper Projekt in Ontario bekannt gegeben. Das Bohrloch TX25-033 zeigte zwei hochgradige Kupferzonen: Die erste ergab 1,87 % Kupfer und 77,25 g/t Silber 眉ber 10,70 m, die zweite 1,04 % Kupfer und 4,23 g/t Silber 眉ber 17,40 m, darunter ein h枚hergradiger Abschnitt mit 1,57 % Kupfer und 6,30 g/t Silber 眉ber 9,10 m. Das Bohrprogramm bestand aus sieben Diamantbohrl枚chern mit insgesamt 909,5 Metern und hatte das Ziel, die Kupfermineralisierung nach Norden zu erweitern und zuvor identifizierte Mineralisierung weiter zu verfolgen. Die Mineralisierung wurde in graphitischem Argillit mit Chalkopyrit und Pyrit gefunden, wobei starke Faltungen und Tonver盲nderungen zu beobachten waren. Das Projekt liegt strategisch 65 km 枚stlich von Timmins und 45 km vom Kidd Creek Met Standort entfernt.

Two Zones of High-Grade Cu Mineralization
Intercept of 1.87% Cu & 77.25g/t Ag over 10.70m and 1.04% Cu & 4.23g/t Ag over 17.40m
Thunder Bay, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - June 17, 2025) - Metals Creek Resources Corp. (TSXV: MEK) (FSE: M1C1) (the "Company" or Metals Creek) is pleased to announce additional drill results from the recently completed (See News Release: March 20, 2025) drill 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.
This recently completed program consisted of seven diamond drill holes totaling 909.5 meters(m) with the goal of extending copper mineralization to the north, follow-up on copper mineralization drilled outside the mineralized envelope in the previous drill campaign (See new release February 27, 2025) as well as further define recently recognized higher grade sections of mineralization with associated veins of massive sulphides.
TX25-033 was designed to expand an area of very limited drilling and further delineate the location and orientation of a diabase dike previously intercepted. This hole collared in mineralized graphitic argillite (See Fig 1) with 1-4% very finely disseminated to stringer chalcopyrite and minor disseminated pyrite. This hole returned a down hole intercept (32.9 - 43.6m) of 10.70m at 1.87% copper (Cu) and 77.25 grams per tonne (g/t) silver (Ag). The graphitic argillite is strongly folded with associated pervasive clay alteration and strong graphite. Chalcopyrite becomes more pronounced at or near the contact with the feldspar porphyry which also contains disseminated to blebby chalcopyrite. Of particular note with this upper zone is the higher grade silver assaying 77.25g/t. A second zone of Cu mineralization was intercepted footwall to the upper zone returning a downhole intercept (54.60 - 72.00m) of 17.40m at 1.04% Cu and 4.23g/t Ag including a higher grade downhole intercept (58.9 - 68.00m) of 1.57% Cu and 6.30g/t Ag over 9.10m. Mineralization consists of stringer to disseminated chalcopyrite with strong graphite. The upper contact with the feldspar porphyry also exhibits an increase of mineralization. Feldspar porphyry is moderately mineralized with chalcopyrite throughout adding to the exploration potential of Tillex. Mineralization is cutoff at the lower contact with a diabase dike.

All samples were sent to Activation Laboratories. Samples utilized aqua regia digestion with analysis performed by ICP. Over limits were performed by ICP-OES. As part of the Corporations QAQC protocol, approximately 10% of the samples submitted for assay were also sent for check assays. Standards and blanks were inserted randomly into the sample shipments as part of the sampling protocol.
