(TSXV: MEK) (OTC Pink: MCREF) (FSE: M1C1) (the \"Company\" or Metals Creek) and Benton Resources Inc. (TSXV: BEX) (The Companies) are pleased to announce they have jointly acquired through staking 6 potential natural white hydrogen projects in Newfoundland.These 6 projects (See Figure 2) were selected and staked after extensive research of historical data in areas of comparable geological settings that current hydrogen companies across the USA and Canada are targeting. Of particular interest is that 3 of the 6 projects have noted gas from historical drill holes or the surface venting of gas. The projects are all located on the west coast of Newfoundland and are hosted in geological environments considered prospective for natural white hydrogen. A total of 763 claim units were staked to acquire the mineral lands with geological characteristics to support the targeting potential.

In addition, gas venting at surface, documented in Newfoundland government files. https://gis.gov.nl.ca/mods/ModsCard.asp?NMINOString?temp=n&NMINOString=012I/04/Btm002Cape St. Gregory, large serpentinized ultramafic unit near documented structures and faults. Bond Pond, 15 historical drill holes noted, intensely sheared and serpentinized ultramafic intrusions and likely in contact with fault structures within a sedimentary basin environment.Deer Lake Basin, explosive gas encountered in historical hole that flowed for a minimum of 12 months in uranium-thorium rich basin environment. https://gis.gov.nl.ca/mods/ModsCard.asp?NMINOString?temp=n&NMINOString=012H/03/Btm002Bay St George, gas noted in historical drilling.https://www.gov.nl.ca/em/files/publications-energy-fwr-port-au-port-no-1-final-well-report-volume-2.pdfB...
