Welcome to our dedicated page for Metals Creek news (Ticker: MCREF), a resource for investors and traders seeking the latest updates and insights on Metals Creek stock.
Metals Creek Resources Corp. reports exploration and project-portfolio developments for a mineral issuer focused on Canadian resource properties. Recurring updates center on the Ogden Gold Project in the Timmins gold camp, a 50/50 joint venture with Discovery Silver in which Metals Creek serves as operator, including drill mobilization, drill planning, structural interpretation, and targets such as the Thomas Ogden Zone and Porphyry Hill.
Company news also covers option-partner work and assay results tied to the Yellow Fox critical-metals and rare earth element property in central Newfoundland, along with jointly staked natural white hydrogen prospects in Newfoundland. Other disclosures include partnership activity, shares-for-services marketing arrangements, and capital-structure information for the OTC Pink symbol MCREF and TSX Venture-listed MEK security.
Metals Creek Resources (MCREF) and Benton Resources reported preliminary soil gas survey results identifying anomalous hydrogen and helium concentrations at the Smoking Gun and Parson's Pond projects in western Newfoundland.
The program collected 710 near-surface samples over about two weeks, analyzing hydrogen, helium, neon, CO2 and C1–C4 hydrocarbons. At Smoking Gun, two broad anomalies within the Deer Lake Basin returned hydrogen values up to 600 ppm and helium up to 7.7 ppm, spatially associated with historic high-pressure gas wells. At Parson's Pond, two hydrogen anomalies in the central area reached up to 900 ppm, with several clusters aligning with historic gas wells and interpreted fault trends. Management views these early-stage results as evidence of potentially active subsurface hydrogen systems, with large parts of both properties still unsampled.
Metals Creek Resources (MCREF) and Benton Resources have staked an additional 262 claim units, expanding the Smoking Gun Hydrogen/Helium Project in the Deer Lake Basin of western Newfoundland.
The new claims follow completion of regional soil gas sampling at Parson's Pond and Smoking Gun, overseen by Rudy Willick of Rudiger Re-Chem. The companies plan an inaugural drill program to test hydrogen and helium targets after evaluating soil gas results. Both Parson's Pond and Deer Lake basins are described as prospective for hydrogen and helium, although the companies caution that existing gas or methane occurrences do not guarantee their presence and further studies are required.
Metals Creek Resources (OTC: MCREF) and Benton Resources have signed a purchase agreement with G2B Gold to jointly acquire a 100% interest in two mineral licenses totaling 30 claim units in Newfoundland’s Deer Lake Basin and Parsons Pond areas, on a 50/50 ownership basis. Consideration includes the issuance of 120,000 Metals Creek shares and 82,500 Benton shares to G2B at closing, subject to TSXV approval, plus a 2% net smelter royalty (NSR) on the properties. The companies may buy back 1% NSR for $1 million. No finder’s fees were paid. In parallel, over 700 soil gas samples have been collected at the Smoking Gun and Parson’s Pond hydrogen-helium projects for lab analysis, with results expected within two weeks to guide initial drill‑target testing.
Metals Creek Resources (OTC: MCREF) reported final assays from a three‑hole, 1,233 m diamond drill program at the 50/50 Ogden Gold Project joint venture with Discovery Mining in Timmins, Ontario, where Metals Creek is operator. Drilhole TOG‑26‑77, the deepest of the program, intersected 7.25 g/t gold over 7.45 m from 347.27–354.72 m, including 13.46 g/t gold over 2.54 m, hosted in strongly altered felsites and conglomerates with visible gold. A second zone in a footwall intermediate dike returned 1.17 g/t gold over 4.65 m from 374.52–380.17 m. Earlier holes returned standout intercepts: TOG‑26‑75 cut 8.43 g/t gold over 13.25 m including 40.61 g/t over 2.4 m, and TOG‑26‑76 cut 115.51 g/t gold over 9.85 m including 356.85 g/t over 3.1 m and 2,050 g/t over 0.5 m. According to Metals Creek, all three holes encountered visible gold, versus about 35% historically at the Thomas Ogden Zone, and true widths are not yet known.

Metals Creek Resources (OTC: MCREF) and Benton Resources have started large-scale hydrogen-helium soil gas sampling at their Smoking Gun (Deer Lake Basin) and Parson's Pond projects in Newfoundland. Consulting firm Rudiger Re-Chem, led by hydrogen-helium specialist Rudy Willick, will oversee fieldwork and analysis.
The program will collect approximately 650–750 soil gas samples over 2–3 weeks, which will be analyzed in Saskatoon for hydrogen, helium, neon, CO2 and C1–C4 hydrocarbons. Historic data at Smoking Gun include helium values up to 8,900 ppb and long-lived high-pressure gas flow. At Parson's Pond, logs show methane gas up to 72% and geological indicators considered prospective for natural hydrogen. The companies caution that existing gas or nearby discoveries do not guarantee hydrogen or helium, and further studies are required.
