Metals Creek Hits 7.25 g/t Gold Over 7.45 Meters in Final Ogden Drill Hole
Metals Creek Resources Corp. has returned high-grade gold assays from the final diamond drill hole of a three-hole program at the Ogden Gold Project in Timmins, Ontario.
Drill hole TOG-26-77 intersected 7.25 g/t gold over 7.45 meters from 347.27 meters downhole, including 13.46 g/t gold over 2.54 meters with associated visible gold. The hole was designed to test the lower portion of the Thomas Ogden Zone fold structure as the deepest hole of the recent 1,233-meter program, which is operated as a 50/50 joint venture with Discovery Mining Ltd.
A secondary zone at the northern contact between the footwall intermediate dike and ultramafics returned 1.15 g/t gold over 4.65 meters, consisting of disseminated and cubic pyrite with local quartz veining. The true thickness and widths of the reported mineralization remain unknown at this stage.
The latest results follow higher-grade intercepts from earlier in the 2026 campaign. In July, hole TOG-26-76 returned 115.51 g/t gold over 9.85 meters, representing the second highest-grade intercept to date on the project, significantly higher grade than final hole TOG-26-77. The highest intercept to date remains hole TOG-13-25, which returned 210.19 g/t gold over 12.53 meters 325 meters to the west along the fold structure. All three holes in the recent program encountered visible gold, aligning with historical observations where 35% of holes in the Thomas Ogden Zone display visible gold.
Metals Creek holds an 8-kilometre strike length along the Porcupine-Destor Fault in the Timmins camp.
