Metals Creek Resources (MEK) has contracted M3 Drilling to conduct a drilling program at the company’s Dona Lake Gold Project.

The Dona Lake property, which is located in Ontario, sits within the Pickle Lake Greenstone Belt. The Belt has hosted numerous historic mines in the past, including the Central Patricia mine and Pickle Crow mine. 

The Dona Lake Project consists of 32 patented and leased mining claims, and 35 map staked claims. In total, it covers an area of approximately 1,063 hectares, in which the past-producing Dona Lake Mine sits.

Under the signed contract, M3 Drilling will drill at least 2,500 metres on the property. The upcoming drill program is for the purpose of testing for further gold mineralisation just south of the Dona Lake Mine, including the Main and B-Zone mineralised horizons.

Metals Creek Resources has previously intersected some gold mineralisation on the site, which it intends to explore further. Last month, hole DL20-03 intersected gold mineralisation, located 500 metres vertically below the surface at Dona Lake. 

Deeper exploration by M3 Drilling will evaluate the potential continuation of this mineralisation, as well as any below the mine’s lowest level. 

M3 Drilling’s program at the Dona Lake Gold Project is likely to commence in the later part of October, when the drill becomes available for us. The company will make an announcement to the market once drilling starts on the property.

Metals Creek Resources (MEK) is down 7.14 per cent and is trading at 6.5 cents per share at 10:34am EDT.
