Metals Creek Resources Corp. Notified that Trifecta Gold Ltd Commenced Trading on the TSX-V

MEK and Trifecta had earlier completed an option agreement on MEK's Squid property in northwest Yukon which was contingent on the completion of this plan of arrangement. The Squid claims comprise the main part of Trifecta's Trident property. A brief description taken from Trifecta's recent news release follows below:

"The road accessible Trident property covers the headwaters of the Matson Creek placer gold camp, located about 60 km northwest of the White Gold Deposit. The property has an extensive system of roads and trails that connects the main exploration areas to an established trailer camp and a gravel airstrip. Limited drilling by previous operators (MEK) has produced very promising results including 1.55 g/t gold and 114 g/t silver over 21.0 m at the Exploits Zone. Where observed in trenches and drill holes, the mineralized zone is shallowly dipping and strongly oxidized. Trifecta expects to start drilling at the Trident property in July, immediately following completion of the drill program at Eureka. Phase I soil sampling will be followed by approximately 800 m of diamond drilling that would focus on expanding the Exploits Zone along strike and down dip. Pending favourable results, drilling can be extended into late fall."

In a news release dated 19 December 2016, Metals Creek announced that the Corporation had entered into an Option/Joint Venture agreement with Trifecta. Under the terms of the agreement, Trifecta can earn up to a 75% interest in MEK's Squid East and Squid West Properties, (Collectively referred to by Trifecta to form part of Trifecta's Trident Property) located along the interpreted northwest extension of the White Gold district, Yukon. The Squid properties are 100% owned by MEK.

To earn an initial 60% interest, Trifecta must make cash payments of $45,000 over three years ($10,000 due upon regulatory approval), issue a total of 6,500,000 Trifecta shares over three years (1,000,000 due upon regulatory approval) and incur work expenditures of $2,250,000 over three years. Trifecta will be the operator during the earn-in period. Once a 60% interest is earned by Trifecta, either a 60/40 joint venture will be formed, or Trifecta may elect to earn an additional 15% interest to bring its total property interest to 75%. The terms to increase its interest from 60% to 75% include payments of $50,000 and 3,500,000 trifecta shares within 60 days of the 3rd anniversary date and incurring an additional $1,000,000 in exploration expenditures by the 4th anniversary.

Alexander (Sandy) Stares, President and CEO of Metals Creek states, "Metals Creek eagerly anticipates exploration to commence on the Trident project by Trifecta Gold. MEK's management feels this is a great opportunity to maintain an interest in the Squid properties through a large share position in Trifecta while maintaining a 25% interest in the property."
