Metals Creek Resources (TSXV:MEK) has revealed drill results for the Shabaqua Corners Gold Property in Ontario.
In a news release, the company stated the program included five drill holes targeting the Main Zone and Echo Zone.
Initial drilling at Echo Zone exhibits strong carbonatization and silicification including moderate albitization with associated quartz veining and fine pyrite mineralization within clastic sediments. Alteration intensity and quartz vein density appear to be increasing with depth.
Notably, visible gold intersected within highly altered sediments and alteration intensity and quartz vein density increased with depth.
The company stated this was its first drilling campaign at the Shabaqua Corners Gold property, meaning these were the first holes ever drilled.
The program successfully delineated an extensive alteration system at the Echo Zone with gold values and visible gold indicating its continuation and increase in intensity at depth.
The property is within the Shebandowan Greenstone Belt, approximately 54 kilometres west of Thunder Bay, Ontario, near Shabaqua Corners
