[{"type":"text","content":"Metals Creek Resources Initiates Diamond Drill Program on Thomas Ogden West - Timmins, OntarioToronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - December 7, 2017) - Metals Creek Resources Corp. (TSXV: MEK) (the \"Company\") is pleased to announce the commencement of diamond drilling proximal to previously drilled hole OG17-002 that was collared to test a geophysical Induced Polarization (IP) target and successfully intersected two zones of gold mineralization. The first zone intersected 3.97 meters (m) (from 96.88 m to 100.85 m down hole) of 4.96 grams per tonne (g/t) gold (Au) within a broader zone which assayed 3.07 g/t Au over 8.22 m. A second zone, further down the hole, returned a core length intercept (from 129 m to 143 m) of 1.43 g/t Au over 14 m. This mineralization is hosted within a strongly altered felsic dyke with visible gold and is similar to footwall mineralization in the Thomas Ogden Zone (TOZ). (See MEK News Release dated May 3, 2017)Significant folding of the stratigraphy has been documented in hole OG17-002, a potential structural control for higher-grade gold mineralization along the fold hinges at the TOZ area. The upcoming diamond drill program is designed to further evaluate stratigraphy west of TOZ. Results from this drilling will be released once they are received and compiled by the company.The Property is held under a joint venture in which Metals Creek owns 50%, and Goldcorp Canada Ltd. (\"Goldcorp\") owns 50% (as manager and on behalf of the Porcupine Joint Venture, a joint venture between Goldcorp Inc. and Goldcorp Canada Ltd.) with MEK being the operator of the project. The Ogden claims cover eight kilometers of strike length of the Porcupine-Destor Fault between Goldcorp's 16.6 million ounce Dome Mine and Tahoe Resources West Timmins Mine. The vast majority of the Porcupine-Destor Fault on the property is underexplored, compared to other properties in the Timmins Gold camp.
