Metals Creek/Benton Resources Provides Update on Staghorn Gold Property
(firmenpresse) - TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwired) -- 08/13/15 -- Metals Creek Resources Corp. (TSX VENTURE: MEK) has been provided an update by its partner Benton Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE: BEX) ("Benton" or "the Company"). On the Staghorn gold property (under option from Metals Creek Resources Corp.; see Benton press release dated Nov. 18, 2014), Benton has completed soil geochemical sampling over 20 kilometres along the Cape Ray fault. The samples were collected at 25-metre spacing along lines at 200 to 400 metres apart. Initial results from this program delineate several areas of anomalous gold values up to 300 parts per billion. Some infill sampling has been completed in these anomalous areas, and results are expected shortly.
Additionally, 35.5 kilometres of line cutting have been completed, along with mapping, prospecting and soils to cover the area of a historic soil anomaly that returned greater than 1,000 parts per billion gold, as well as cover the Ryan''s Hammer showing where assays range from trace to 32.15 grams per tonne gold in boulders.
Anomalous gold in soils also shows the possible extension of the Woods Lake zone in both directions. Previous drilling intercepts returned up to 2.14 grams per tonne gold over 16.1 metres (including 6.18 grams per tonne gold over 5.11 metres; see Metals Creek press release dated Dec. 3, 2009). These anomalies are proximal to the newly discovered Crust and Redbull showings previously announced. These areas will be subject to trenching and drilling if warranted.
The Cape Ray/Victoria Lake regional fault zone hosts a number of gold deposits, including Marathon Gold''s Valentine Lake deposit located 30 kilometres to the northeast of Staghorn and Benton''s Cape Ray gold deposits approximately 100 kilometres to the southwest.
Clinton Barr (P.Geo.), V.P. Exploration for Benton Resources Inc., is the qualified person responsible for this release.
