Metals Creek Resources updates Ogden Project exploration plans for 2026

Metals Creek Resources Corp. [TSXV: MEK; OTC Pink: MCREF; FSE: M1C1] provided an exploration update and drill plans for first quarter of 2026.

Metals Creek is currently in the planning stage of an upcoming drill program on the Ogden Gold Project for the first quarter of 2026. The company is fully funded for the planned upcoming drill program which will consist of holes targeting the Thomas Ogden Zone and Porphyry Hill. The Ogden Project was last drilled in 2022.

The Ogden Gold Project is a 50/50 Joint Venture with Discovery Silver Corp. [TSX: DSV; OTCQX; DSVSF], with the company serving as the operator. Highlights of more recent drilling from the 2022 drill program include TOG-22-71 that returned a downhole intercept of 1.13 g/t gold over 12.14 metres. Visible gold was noted in this intercept. A second zone of mineralization was intercepted returning 12.3 g/t Au over 1.05 metres.

TOG-22-74A returned a downhole intercept of 3.66 g/t Au over 14.66m including 4.30m of 5.13 g/t Au, visible gold was noted in this intercept. TOG-21-65A returned a downhole intercept of 9.2 g/t Au over 4.47m with visible gold noted in this intercept.

A structural analysis utilizing data generated from the oriented core program carried out on the latest drill program is currently in its final stages. Special emphasis on the orientation of the different generations of gold bearing quartz veins as well as determining plunge of prominent fold structures which appear to play an important role in the emplacement of the gold bearing veins.

The Ogden Gold Project is located within the Timmins Gold Camp and has over 8km of strike length along the prolific Porcupine-Destor Break, the key conduit for gold mineralization in the Timmins Camp. This project was acquired in November, 2008 when MEK signed an Option Joint Venture Agreement with Goldcorp (Now Discovery Silver).

Ogden is strategically located between Pan American Silvers’ West Timmins Mine and Galleon Gold’s West Cache development to the west and Discovery Silvers’ Dome Mine and Mill complex located 8km east. Currently there are six zones of mineralization identified; Naybob North, South and West, Porphyry Hill, Thomas Ogden (TOG) and Thomas Ogden West with Naybob South and TOG seeing the majority of the work.

Highlights of drilling include 210.19 g/t gold over 12.53 metres from TOG-13-25 and 9.24 g/t gold over 6.61 metres from Naybob South. Additional mineralization was discovered in drilling one kilometer west of TOG returning an intercept of 5.06 g/t gold over 2.60 metres with a follow-up hole returning a down hole intercept of 4.96 g/t gold over 3.97 metres, including a second zone of mineralization assaying 1.43 g/t gold over 14.00 metres.

This further highlights the exploration potential on the western portion of the property, which is contiguous with Galleon Gold and has seen minimal work.

In addition, the Ogden Property is host to an Exploration Target at Naybob South of 750,000-1,000,000 tonnes at 3.5-4.5 g/t gold.

Metals Creek Resources is a junior exploration company incorporated under the laws of the Province of Ontario, is a reporting issuer in Alberta, British Columbia and Ontario. Metals Creek has earned a 50% interest in the Ogden Gold Property, including the former Naybob Gold mine, located 6 km south of Timmins, Ontario and has an 8 km strike length of the prolific Porcupine-Destor Fault.

Metals Creek also has multiple quality projects available for option which can be viewed on the company’s website.
