Metals Creeks Commences Diamond Drilling at the Tillex Copper Project

Rhea-AI Summary

Metals Creek Resources Corp. (TSXV: MEK) has initiated diamond drilling at the Tillex Copper Project, located 65 km east of Timmins, Ontario. The program aims to further define the structurally complex Tillex copper mineralization in areas of drilling, down dip, and along strike direction.

Recent drilling highlights from September-November 2024 include:

• 63.9m of 1.94% Copper and 10.22 g/t Silver (TX 24-021)
• 110m of 1.69% Cu and 7.05 g/t Ag (TX24-020)
• 92.05m of 2.12% Cu and 12.18 g/t Ag (TX24-022)

Additional results from February 2025 showed:

• 7.9m of 1.27% Cu and 3.42 g/t Ag (TX24-025)
• 21m of 1.00% Cu and 2.18 g/t Ag (TX24-026)
• 41.3m of 1.51% Cu and 9.39 g/t Ag (TX24-027)
• 15.20m of 1.87% Cu and 4.81 g/t Ag (TX24-028)

Positive

• Strong copper grades across multiple drill holes, with best intercept of 2.12% Cu over 92.05m
• Consistent silver credits in all drill holes ranging from 2.18 to 12.18 g/t
• Historical resource of 1,338,000 tonnes at 1.56% Copper indicates significant mineralization potential

Negative

• Historical resource estimate is non-43-101 compliant and cannot be relied upon
• Project still in exploration phase without current compliant resource estimate

Thunder Bay, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - March 20, 2025) - Metals Creek Resources Corp. (TSXV: MEK) (FSE: M1C1) (the "Company" or Metals Creek) is pleased to announce that diamond drilling has commenced at the Tillex Copper Project located in Currie Township, 65 km east of Timmins, Ontario.

This program will continue to further define the structurally complex Tillex copper mineralization within areas of limited drilling as well as in the down dip and along strike direction.

In September and November (see MEK news releases dated 05 September 2024 and November 26, 2024 respectively), Metals Creek drilled:

• 63.9 Meters (m) of 1.94% Copper (Cu)and 10.22 g/t Silver (Ag) in diamond drill hole (DDH) TX 24-021. (see MEK news release dated 22 October 2024)
• 110m of 1.69% Cu and 7.05 g/t Ag in hole TX24-020 (see MEK news release dated 24 October 2024)
• 92.05m of 2.12% Cu and 12.18 g/t Ag (see MEK news release dated 31 October 2024) in hole TX24-022 at the Tillex Copper Project.
• 7.9m of 1.27% Cu and 3.42 g/t Ag (see MEK news release dated 27 February 2025) in hole TX24-025
• 21m of 1.00% Cu and 2.18 g/t Ag (see MEK news release dated 27 February 2025) in hole TX24-026
• 41.3m of 1.51% Cu and 9.39 g/t Ag (see MEK news release dated 27 February 2025) in hole TX24-027
• 15.20m of 1.87% Cu and 4.81 g/t Ag (see MEK news release dated 27 February 2025) in hole TX24-028

Results from this program will be released once received and compiled.

The Tillex project is host to the Tillex copper deposit which was originally discovered in 1973 by Westmin Resources Ltd. A historic non 43-101 compliant near surface resource of 1,338,000 tonnes grading 1.56% Copper (Cu) was calculated in 1990 by Pacifica Resources Ltd (Source; Pacifica Resources Ltd., 2005-6 Canadian Mines Handbook, page 318). Mineralization is primarily as chalcopyrite with minor bornite and accessory lead, zinc and silver. However, management notes this calculation does not meet the standards as outlined in National Instrument 43-101, "Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects", and has not been independently validated or verified by the Corporation and should not be relied upon.
