(TSXV: MEK) (FSE: M1C1) (the \"Company\" or Metals Creek) is pleased to announce the results for the second hole of the recently completed (See News Release: September 17, 2024) diamond drilling 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.TX24-020 targeted section 150N (See Fig.1: Schematic Cross Section) which exhibits strong folding of the mineralized horizon which includes argillite, feldspar porphyry and dacites. Hole TX24-020 was drilled to infill a gap between holes TX08-002 and TX008-010 to further define a prominent flexure in the mineralized stratigraphy. The drilled intercept has resulted in the longest intercept to date on the Tillex Copper Project returning a downhole intercept of 110 meters (m) of 1.69% Copper (Cu) and 7.05 grams per tonne (g/t) Ag. (See Fig.1: Schematic Cross Section). Included in this interval is two higher grade intervals of 2.46% Cu and 6.89g/t Ag over 26.72m (57.00m to 83.72m) and a second interval of 3.04% Cu and 13.85g/t Ag over 23.60m (103.40m to 127.00m).

Alteration consists mainly of chlorite and locally pervasive clay alteration. The mineralized argillites within the Tillex Deposit are structurally complex with significant folding and fracturing.
