Metals Creek's Option Partner General Gold Resources Commences Drilling on Clark's Brook Property
Thunder Bay, June 30, 2021 - Metals Creek Resources Corp. (TSXV: MEK) (OTCQB: MCREF) (FSE: M1C1) (the "Company" or Metals Creek) is pleased to announce that the Company has been advised by its option partner General Gold Resources Inc. (CSE: GGLD) (C-GGLD) (General Gold) that General Gold will commence drilling on the Clark's Brook property the week of July 5, 2021. The Clark's Brook property comprises 31 claim units in central Newfoundland and is surrounded on three sides by the Queensway project, currently being explored and drilled by New Found Gold Corp. (see General Gold news release dated 28 June 202). Alexander (Sandy) Stares, President and CEO of Metals Creek states "Management at Metals Creek is delighted that drilling will commence at Clark's Brook by General Gold. This is another project that will give MEK shareholders exposure to the extremely hot Central Newfoundland gold play and allows Metals Creek to focus on the Dona Lake and Ogden gold projects."
The Clark's Brook property consists of claims originally staked in 2016, covering two auriferous showings first discovered in 2003.
As part of the earlier geological mapping and prospecting program, discoveries were made at both the Clark's Brook East (CBE) and West (CBW) zones. On the CBE gold zone, seven representative grab samples were attained, each comprising material from several mineralized boulders that assayed between 2.98 grams per tonne and 24.5 g/t gold. The CBW gold zone discovery was first made in mineralized boulders returning 8.9 g/t and 9.28 g/t gold. Note: The surface grab samples described in this news release are selective by nature and are unlikely to represent average grades of the property.
The Clark's Brook property is under option from Metals Creek. In order to maintain the Option Agreement in good standing, General Gold must issue an aggregate of 1,500,000 common shares of General Gold (200,000 received) and make cash payments totaling $225,000 ($50,000 received) over a three-year period. If General Gold does not make any or all of the cash payments or issue any or all of the common shares, it will be in default under the Option Agreement and all right and title to the Clark's Brook Property shall remain with MEK. If the option is exercised in accordance with the terms of the Option Agreement, General Gold will reserve to MEK a 2% net smelter royalty (the "NSR") on the mineral claims, provided, however, that General Gold shall have the right at any time to purchase from MEK 1% of the NSR in consideration for a one-time payment of the sum of $1,000,000.
Wayne Reid, P. Geo., Director of Metals Creek, is the "qualified person" as defined in NI 43-101, who has reviewed and approved the technical content in this press release.
MEK has current option agreements on a number of its projects including: Squid (Yukon) to Manning Ventures Inc., Flint Lake (Ontario) to Manning Ventures Inc, Clark's Brook (NL) to General Gold and Yellow Fox/Careless Cove (NL) to Quadro Resources.
