METALS CREEK SAMPLES 2.3% ANTIMONY AT CARELESS COVE IN NEWFOUNDLAND
Metals Creek Resources Corp. has released additional high-grade gold and antimony assay results from follow-up sampling at the Careless Cove property in Newfoundland.
The Careless Cove property is located within and adjacent to New Found Gold Corp.'s Queensway high-grade gold project and approximately 12 kilometres southwest of New Found Gold's Keats zone drilling.
Recent follow-up prospecting and sampling took place in October to further evaluate recent high-grade assay results (see news release dated Feb. 19, 2025) for gold and anomalous antimony. This prospecting program returned high-grade gold assays ranging from 0.07 to 10.54 grams per tonne gold with associated high-grade antimony assays (see table 1: assay results) with values up to 2.3 per cent. Previous sampling returned Sb values up to 0.27 per cent. Mineralization is hosted within silicified sediments with vuggy quartz and with associated pyrite, arsenopyrite and stibnite. These assay results were from two clusters of samples from subcrop to rubble material 82 metres apart. The Sb is hosted within crosscutting veins with stibnite-arsenopyrite-quartz similar to other Sb mineralization located in close proximity to the Dog Bay line, a northeast-trending regional structure, including the Beaver Brook antimony mine, which is located 29 kilometres to the southwest.
The high-grade Sb results is highly encouraging, showing a strong correlation between high-grade Au and Sb. Previous soil sampling programs highlighted this area to be prospective for pathfinder elements, including Au and Sb. Several high-grade Au occurrences have not been sampled for Sb, which will be taking place over the next several weeks.
Metals Creek has recently received approval for a trenching permit application to further evaluate mineralization within the Careless Cove Road zone.
Analyses in this release were performed by Eastern Analytical of Springdale, Nfld., with ISO 17025 accreditation. Samples were transported in sealed bags to Eastern, and all samples were assayed using industry standard assay techniques for gold. Gold was analyzed by a standard 30-gram fire assay with an AA finish. Overlimits for Sb involve digesting within with HCl/nitric acid and tartaric acid with an AA finish.
Wayne Reid, PGeo, a director for the corporation, a qualified person as defined in National Instrument 43-101, is responsible for this release, and supervised the preparation of the information forming the basis for this release.
