Raymond, Alberta… American Creek Resources Ltd. (the “Corporation”) is pleased to announce that the 2009 Treaty Creek exploration program is fully underway with two drills turning. As previously announced, the program will consist of a combination of geochemical sampling, ground geophysics and up to 5,000 meters of diamond drilling. More Core Drilling Ltd. of Prince George, BC is conducting the drilling with Prism Helicopters contracted to supply air support.
 

 

The 2009 program is designed to examine historical areas of interest and to follow up on positive results from the 2007 program.
 

 

Allan Burton, President and CEO stated: “We’re excited to be back drilling Treaty Creek again and look forward to moving the project forward. Everything is on schedule and going as planned.”
 

 

In March, 2007, American Creek Resources entered into an option agreement with Teuton Resources Corp. (TUO: TSX-V) for the controlling interest in the Treaty Creek property. American Creek was granted the right to earn a 51% interest by spending $5 million on exploration over a period of three years. The Corporation plans to complete the 51% earn-in during the next few weeks. An additional 9% interest (bringing American Creek’s total interest to 60%) may be earned by funding a positive feasibility study. American Creek is the operator of the project.
