Metals Creek Resources Corp. is poised for a significant year as it launches an exploration campaign at the Ogden Gold Project in early 2026. The company has secured full financial backing for its drilling program, focusing on key targets, notably the Thomas Ogden Zone and Porphyry Hill. This initiative represents a crucial juncture for Metals Creek, marking its first major exploration effort since drilling activities last occurred at the Ogden Project in 2026.

Overview of the Ogden Gold Project
The Ogden Gold Project operates as a 50/50 joint venture with Discovery Silver Corp., with Metals Creek serving as the project operator. This initiative is strategically located within the acclaimed Timmins Gold Camp, extending over 8 kilometers along the Porcupine-Destor Break, a vital pathway for gold mineralization in the region. Since its acquisition in November 2008 through a collaborative agreement with Goldcorp, now Discovery Silver, the project has consistently highlighted its potential.
Recent drilling highlights
Recent drilling campaigns in 2026 have yielded significant results that pave the way for future exploration at the Ogden Gold Project. Notably, drill hole TOG-22-71 recorded a substantial downhole intercept of 1.13 grams per tonne (g/t) gold over a length of 12.14 meters, with visible gold identified in the sample. Furthermore, TOG-22-74A demonstrated even more promising results, revealing an impressive 3.66 g/t gold over 14.66 meters, including a section that averaged 5.13 g/t over 4.30 meters. Additionally, drill hole TOG-21-65A returned notable findings, reporting 9.2 g/t gold over a length of 4.47 meters.
These findings underscore the mineralization potential within the project and have generated increased interest in the forthcoming drilling operations. A comprehensive structural analysis is currently being completed, concentrating on the orientation of various generations of gold-bearing quartz veins and the plunge of significant fold structures, which are thought to be crucial in the distribution of gold deposits.
Exploration targets and future plans
Building on previous drilling results, upcoming exploration efforts will focus on deepening investigations into the established mineralization zones. The Ogden Project currently recognizes six mineralization areas: Naybob North, South, West, Porphyry Hill, Thomas Ogden (TOG), and Thomas Ogden West. The Naybob South and TOG regions have attracted considerable exploration activity, revealing high-grade intercepts such as 210.19 g/t gold over 12.53 meters from TOG-13-25 and 9.24 g/t gold over 6.61 meters from Naybob South.
Potential and future developments
Ogden property exploration reveals potential gold resource
The Ogden property, alongside its established gold zones, presents an exploration target at Naybob South. This target is estimated to contain between 750,000 and 1,000,000 tonnes of ore with a grade of 3.5 to 4.5 g/t gold. It is important to emphasize that these figures are conceptual, necessitating further exploration to define a mineral resource. Current estimates are derived from prior studies and geological references, suggesting a positive outlook for continued investigation.
Michael MacIsaac, Vice President of Exploration at Metals Creek, oversees this initiative. He is a qualified professional under the National Instrument 43-101 regulations. As the company progresses, it remains dedicated to unveiling the true potential of the Ogden Gold Project.
