(TSXV: MEK) (FSE: M1C1) (the \"Company\" or Metals Creek) is pleased to announce results from the recently completed (See News Release: November 26, 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.This program entailed five diamond drill holes totaling 539.8m in an effort to target near surface mineralized graphitic argillites and dacitic tuffs, and upgrade areas of limited drilling and further refine the current geological model. Among these five holes were two shallow vertical exploration holes, drilled west outside the mineralized envelope in an effort to potentially expand prospective stratigraphy and ascertain its orientation. TX24-024 was a shallow vertical exploration hole drilled west of the current mineralized envelope in an effort to drill test prospective stratigraphy. This hole collared and finished in a diabase dike with no significant assays.TX24-025 was the second vertical diamond drill hole north of hole TX24-024. This hole encountered mineralized graphitic argillites with disseminated to fine stringers of chalcopyrite and disseminated pyrite as well as mineralized feldspar porphyry. This hole exhibits strong similarities to the Tillex deposit with presence of mineralized porphyries and graphitic argillites. Both these units host the majority of the mineralization within the Tillex mineralized envelope. This hole returned a down hole intercept of 7.90 meters (m) of 1.27 percent (%) copper (Cu) and 3.42 grams per tonne (g/t) silver (Ag). (See Table 1 - Drill Results below for more details).TX24-026 was an undercut (See Fig 2. Schematic Cross Section 165N) of hole TX08-015 which intersected two zones of copper mineralization within mineralized graphitic argillites, feldspar porphyry and dacitic tuffs. Hole TX24-026 was engineered to extend both zones of mineralization to depth and further define their orientation and the degree of folding as seen within the central portion of the Tillex Deposit. This hole r...
