Metals Creek Resources (TSXV:MEK) has made a new gold discovery on its Shabaqua Corners gold property in Ontario.
This discovery was made during mechanical surface trenching.
Most of this summer’s trenching program was focused on recently discovered gold mineralization at the Echo Zone, East Zone, and Main Zone with some additional trenching on some highly prospective peripheral areas with encouraging gold assays and alteration.
This new discovery, called the Western Shear Zone was the result of a trenching program following up on work done at the western claim block that returned a soil assay of 715 ppb (parts per billion), which was the highest assay returned for this summer’s soil sampling program.
Subsequent trenching in the area uncovered a narrow shear zone where a grab sample returned 18.5 grams per tonne (g/t) gold (Au).
This assay is Metals Creeks furthest western result to date located approximately 935 metres west of the main zone and the only known gold occurrence to date on the western claim block.
The property, which has seen little exploration work, is within the Shebandowan Greenstone Belt, 54 kilometres west of Thunder Bay, near Shabaqua Corners and on trend to Delta Resources’ (TSX:DLTA) Delta 1 project. That company’s work returned an intercept of 5.92 g/t Au over 31 metres at a nearby hole last October.
Prospecting and geological mapping is ongoing to further delineate known gold mineralization along strike of the recently discovered gold zones, as well as to evaluate other prospective areas of the property.
Metals Creek Resources Corp. is a junior exploration company engaged in the identification, acquisition, exploration, and development of mineral resource properties, and presently has mining interests in Ontario and Newfoundland and Labrador and in the Yukon. It has a 50 per cent interest in the Ogden Gold property from Newmont Corp., including the Naybob Gold mine.
Metals Creek Resources last traded at $0.02 per share.
