Metals Creek Drills 8.45 g/t Gold over 3.15 Meters at The Dona Lake Gold Project, Confirms Gold Mineralization Outside of Mined Out Area.
Toronto Ontario, September 08, 2020 - Metals Creek Resources Corp. (the “Corporation”, TSXV: MEK) is pleased to announce diamond drill results from the initial two drill holes of the Corporation’s first diamond drilling program on the Dona Lake Gold Project (the “Project”) in the Pickle Lake Gold Camp, Ontario. A total of 1411 meters were drilled in two shallow holes that tested both the Main Zone and B Zone stratigraphy and a deep hole testing for the continuation of gold mineralization below the lower most level of the Dona lake Mine (455 level).
Hole DL-20-002 was collared to test the continuation of gold mineralization immediately south of Dona Lake mine workings at approximately 220m below surface. The first zone which is interpreted to be the Main Zone and returned a core length intercept of 8.45 grams per tonne (g/t) Gold (Au) over 3.15 meters (m) (254.85-259.00m). This intercept was a part of a broader zone of mineralization returning a core length intercept of 5.67 g/t Au over 5.15m (254.85-260.00m). Mineralization is hosted within silicate-sulfide iron formation and characterized by stringer to semi-massive pyrrhotite ranging from 3 to 40% with local pyrite and magnetite. Alteration includes strong silicification with associated quartz veining and locally moderate to strong grunerite, garnet and biotite in conjunction with strong folding.
A second zone of mineralization further down hole returned a core length intercept of 2.34 g/t Au over 9.2m (278.60-287.80m). Mineralization is hosted within silicate-sulfide iron formation with 1 to 6 percent disseminated to stringer pyrrhotite as well as trace to 1 percent pyrite and local magnetite. Alteration consists of Strong silicification with quartz veining and local biotite, garnet and grunerite. This second zone of mineralization is interpreted to B-Zone.
Hole DL20-001 was also collared to test the continuation of gold mineralization south of the Dona Lake mine at 121m level below surface. The Main Zone returned a core length intercept of 4.53 g/t Au over 1m (139.00-140.00m). Mineralization consisted of 1 to 2% disseminated pyrrhotite with associated strong silicification and quartz veining.
