Metals Creek Resources Corp. announced new high grade gold mineralization while mechanical surface trenching on the Shabaqua Corners Gold Property. The property is located within the Shebandowan Greenstone Belt, approximately 54 km west of Thunder Bay, Ontario near Shabaqua Corners and on trend to Delta Resources Delta 1 project.

The property has seen very little exploration work. Follow-up sampling from the recently completed trenching program has resulted in the discovery of additional high grade gold mineralization 120m east of the recently discovered western shear zone (WSZ). Assay results ranged from 0.45 to 18.1 grams per tonne (g/t) gold (Au).

Gold mineralization is associated with an east-west trending, highly weathered and very rusty, friable shear zone with strong pervasive iron carbonate alteration. No sulphide mineralization is present near surface due to the highly weathered nature of the rock. Due to the weathered nature of the shear zone, channel sampling was not possible so chip and grab sampling was conducted.

Two grab samples collected from the mineralized shear zone returned assays of 17.0 and 18.1 g/t Au. A chip sample was collected across the mineralized shear returning an assay of 6.18 g/t Au over 0.6m. An oxide silicate iron formation (IF) adjacent to this gold bearing shear zone was also anomalous in gold returning an assay of 0.45 g/t Au.

This new discovery called the Western Shear Zone Extension (WSZE) was the result of a trenching program following up on a recce soil grid laid out on the western claim block which returned a soil assay of 88 ppb (parts per billion) in close proximity to WSZE. It is interpreted that the WSZ and WSZ are potentially the same zone due to both exhibiting very similar characteristics. Both WSZE and WSZ are 120m apart and open in all directions.

Soil sampling has been instrumental in 3 new gold discoveries on the Shabaqua Cornerers Gold Property (SCGP) with other soil anomalies remaining untested due to extensive overburden. The eastern boundary of the property is located 1.57 kilometers(km) west of Delta Resources (DLTA) drill hole DL-22-18 which returned an intercept of 5.92 g/t Au over 31m. Trenching conducted on Delta's ground 390m east of the property boundary, returned an interval of 2.22 g/t Au over 8m.
