Cardston, Alberta--(Newsfile Corp. - October 25, 2024) - American Creek Resources Ltd. (TSXV: AMK) ("the Corporation" or "American Creek") is pleased to announce that project operator and JV partner Tudor Gold ("Tudor") has given an update to ongoing metallurgical testwork on the Goldstorm gold, copper and silver deposit, located on the Treaty Creek Project situated within the Golden Triangle of British Columbia.

Highlights from the Metallurgical Testing on the Lower CS-600 Sub-Domain include:

  • Flotation recoveries within the Lower CS-600 sub-domain totaled up to 88.1% copper, 63.8% gold, and 51.3% silver;
  • Flotation testing confirmed that a high-grade copper concentrate with significant quantities of gold can be produced from the Lower CS-600 sub-domain, that exceed 29% copper with significant gold and silver grades of 33 g/t and 96 g/t, respectively;

The flotation program uses a typical copper flowsheet to produce the saleable copper concentrate mentioned above. Further flotation testwork is ongoing to produce a separate pyrite concentrate containing gold and silver. The positive results from flotation, in conjunction with previous oxidative leaching methods (such as Pressure Oxidation or Albion), continue to support the previously reported gold recoveries of 90% for the Lower CS-600 domain. The testing program was designed and executed with sufficient rigor to support a future Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA).

Commenting on the results, Ken Konkin, President & CEO of Tudor Gold, stated, "We are very pleased with the results obtained from the locked-cycle flotation tests from this phase of metallurgical testing on material from the lower portion of the CS-600 Domain (CS-600L). We estimate more than 50% of the CS-600 Domain is located within the lower portion (the CS-600L sub-domain). Through a simple rougher-cleaner flotation process we were able to produce an exceptionally clean, high-grade concentrate with excellent metal recoveries, with over 88% for copper and approximately 64% for gold. The CS-600L sub-domain is located in the same area which hosts the newly discovered Supercell-1 (SC-1) high-grade gold complex. Our engineering team has recommended initial metallurgical tests to be conducted on material collected from the SC-1 drill hole intercepts. The SC-1 composite sample will be shipped to SGS Labs for metallurgical tests.

Our concept is to focus on the high-grade SC-1 to study the possibility of extracting as much high-grade gold as possible while potentially building out the infrastructure to access the CS-600L area. The plan is to utilize the same workings from the Supercell complex to access the CS-600 domain. These latest results from the CS-600L Domain significantly de-risk the Goldstorm project with respect to metallurgical characteristics of the copper-gold mineralization and will be utilized in a future Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA).

Additionally, two gold-dominant domains, 300H and DS5, have demonstrated high gold recoveries from previous oxidation/cyanidation tests, with results exceeding 94% gold recovery for the Albion process and in excess of 98% gold recovery for pressure oxidation tests. We were very pleased to observe that no deleterious compounds were formed from any of the types of oxidation-leach tests completed, which will allow our technical team to conduct trade-off studies for recovery vs costs for each process. Given the favorable metallurgical test results obtained from this gravity/flotation system for the CS-600L sub-domain, testing and potentially expanding the SC-1 high-grade gold complex will be our primary focus moving forward. Additional tests are also recommended to examine the northernmost part of CS-600 (CS-600N) which has never been tested previously and continued tests on the upper CS-600 (CS-600U). However, the lower portion of CS-600 has enough volume to mine and process 40,000 tpd over 17 years producing a highly desirable copper concentrate with good gold and silver credits. The goal for the Treaty Creek Deposit is to be able to produce at least 500,000 AuEQ ounces per year. Our mineral process engineers can determine the optimal size and type of mineral processing to be considered for advancing the project that will part of the PEA with a series of trade-off studies examining the most economical path forward for the Treaty Creek Project."

Metallurgical Test Work and Results:

Recent metallurgical testing carried out at Blue Coast Research, under the supervision of Tad Crowie, P. Eng. of JDS Energy & Mining Inc. demonstrated that a high-grade copper concentrate could be produced from the Lower CS-600 sub-domain. The locked cycle test achieved recoveries of 88.1% copper, 63.8% gold, and 51.3% silver into a concentrate with grade exceeding 29% copper and 30 g/t Au for the Lower CS-600. A locked cycle test is considered an important step in developing a mineral processing flowsheet which incorporates flotation, as it demonstrates the effects that re-cycle streams will have on the overall process. The tests were completed on samples that are consistent with those used for the previous metallurgical testing and had gold and copper feed grades of 0.91 g/t Au and 0.59% Cu, which are consistent with the grades in the Lower CS-600 sub-domain.

The current flotation flowsheet follows a typical copper flotation circuit configuration, with standard copper flotation reagents, as seen in Figure 2. The primary grind in the current testwork has been reduced from a P80 of 120 µm used in the previous testwork program to a P80 of 75 µm allowing for a higher overall recovery of copper than has been previously achieved. The gold recoveries have achieved similar results to previous flotation testwork.

A rougher concentrate regrind target of P80 of 30 µm allowed the production of a high-grade copper concentrate, exceeding 29% copper with significant gold and silver grades of 33 g/t Au and 96 g/t Ag for CS-600L.

The locked cycle test results for the combined products of last 3 cycles of the test (cycles 4, 5, and 6) can be found in the table below. The locked cycle test achieved stability after the first 2 cycles, which demonstrates that the flowsheet is stable, as well as validating the test results.

Cardston, Alberta--(Newsfile Corp. - October 9, 2024) - American Creek Resources Ltd. (TSXV: AMK) (OTCQB: ACKRF)("the Corporation" or "American Creek") is pleased to announce that project operator and JV partner Tudor Gold ("Tudor") has produced the results from the final three drill-holes completed from the 2024 exploration drilling program (the "Program") that totaled 10,530 meters (m) at the flagship Treaty Creek Project, located in the heart of the Golden Triangle of Northwestern British Columbia.

The Supercell-One Zone (SC-1) was identified earlier this year to represent a significant potential economic target that is within, and peripheral to, the CS-600 Domain (see press releases dated February 2nd, August 14th, and September 11th, 2024). The discovery of a fourth sub-parallel gold bearing breccia system (SC-1D) continues the expansion of the Supercell-One system. Drillhole GS-24-187 intersected 10.92 g/t AuEQ over 3.00 m within SC-1C and 5.70 g/t AuEQ over 3.00 m within a newly discovered SC-1D zone, both occurring within a strongly mineralized envelope that returned 1.43 g/t AuEQ over 99.00 m. The gold-rich SC-1 system occurs within an area measuring up to 800 m in length by 400 m in depth. All four stacked, sub-parallel structures remain open in all directions and to depth.

Drilling Highlights:

Hole GS-24-185 intersected a 150 m eastward step-out of the CS-600 Domain and the new SC-1D zone.

  • CS-600: 1.01 g/t AuEQ over 200.50 m (0.92 g/t Au, 2.69 g/t Ag, 0.05% Cu)

  • Including: 2.18 g/t AuEQ over 21.00 m (1.95 g/t Au, 2.92 g/t Ag, 0.17% Cu)

  • SC-1D: 9.60 g/t AuEQ over 13.50 m (9.58 g/t Au, 0.44 g/t Ag, 0.01% Cu) - previously reported September 11th, 2024

Hole GS-24-186 intersected an 85 m northward step-out of the SC-1A zone.

  • SC-1A: 10.40 g/t AuEQ over 1.50 m (9.78 g/t Au, 22.46 g/t Ag, 0.02% Cu)

Hole GS-24-187 intersected a 200 m northeastward step-out of the SC-1C zone, a 130 m northward step-out of the SC-1D zone and a 120 m northward step-out of the CS-600 Domain.

  • SC-1C: 10.92 g/t AuEQ over 3.00 m (10.89 g/t Au, 0.97 g/t Ag, 0.02% Cu)

  • SC-1D: 5.70 g/t AuEQ over 3.00 m (5.65 g/t Au, 0.95 g/t Ag, 0.03% Cu)

  • CS-600: 1.22 g/t AuEQ over 115.50 m (0.75 g/t Au, 2.22 g/t Ag, 0.36% Cu)

  • Including: 1.68g/t AuEQ over 10.50 m (0.13 g/t Au, 4.76 g/t Ag, 1.22% Cu)

Ken Konkin, Tudor Gold President and CEO, comments: "We are extremely pleased to announce the continued discovery of multiple sub-parallel, stacked, micro-breccia systems within the Supercell Complex. The consistent high-grade gold intercepts were discovered from the wide-spaced step-out drilling targeting the open-ended CS-600 domain in the northern and eastern areas of the Goldstorm Deposit. Crews were pleasantly surprized to observe consistent gold mineralization within the series of late-stage gold-dominant quartz-pyrite micro-breccia structures. We also reviewed and re-interpreted an earlier intercept from hole GS-24-185 that was initially thought to have been an off-set to Supercell-1C (SC-1C) but subsequent drilling confirmed that this 13.5 m intercept of 9.60 g/t AuEq belongs to Supercell-1D which lies directly below SC-1C as it appears to be an individual splay emanating from SC-1C as a new sub-parallel Supercell-1D (SC-1D). This newly discovered SC-1D was also intersected by drill hole GS-24-187 and yielded 3.0 m of 5.7 g/t AuEq.

Additionally, an 85 m northward step-out with hole GS-24-186 intersected 10.40 g/t AuEq over 1.5 m, within the SC-1A breccia zone, the uppermost micro-breccia system discovered to-date. Our wide-spaced step-out drilling was equally successful in expanding the CS-600 domain well outside the known area of the Goldstorm Deposit towards the northeast. Significant gold, copper and silver mineralization was encountered with the 150 m eastward step-out hole GS-24-185 (1.01 g/t AuEq over 200.5 m) and the 120 m northern step-out hole GS-24-187 that intersected 1.22 g/t AuEq over 115.5 m. Although the Goldstorm Deposit remains open in all directions and at depth, our priority focus is on the Supercell Complex.

This system holds great potential for enhancing the economic advantage of the Treaty Creek Project. The Goldstorm Deposit now contains a high-grade component that can be traced for over 800 m along a northern axis with a moderate westward dipping axis that measures over 400m. Our goal is to expand the limits of the four newly discovered Supercell structures to maximize the economic potential of these gold-dominant breccia systems as a possible starter mine, and to gain access to the CS-600 domain by utilizing the same infrastructure required to potentially mine the Supercell material. It is unknown if we will ever reach the limits of the Goldstorm Deposit as our technical team will concentrate all efforts on the high-grade portions of the Deposit. We plan to review other gold-dominant sub-domains such as R-66 and 300N that appear to have similar structural controls, and are composed of similar quartz-pyrite micro-breccia veinlets, to hopefully add to the growing high-grade gold story of the Goldstorm Deposit at Treaty Creek, within the heart of the Golden Triangle."

Drilling Discussion

Section A

  • GS-24-185: This hole was drilled to step out 140 m from previously drilled SC-1C mineralization, as well as infilling CS-600 mineralization at depth. The hole intersected 13.50 m grading 9.60 g/t AuEQ (9.58 g/t Au, 0.44 g/t Ag, 0.01% Cu)* which is now interpreted as occurring within a fourth zone (SC-1D) of the network of subparallel brecciated Supercell-One complex of structures. This hole also intersected 200.50 m grading 1.01 g/t AuEQ (0.92 g/t Au, 2.69 g/t Ag, 0.05% Cu) of the CS-600 Domain representing a 150 m step-out towards the east.

*Previously reported (September 11th, 2024)

  • GS-24-186: This hole was drilled to intersect SC-1 structures and CS-600 mineralization to the north. An intercept of 10.40 g/t AuEQ over 1.50 m (9.78 g/t Au, 22.46 g/t Ag, 0.02% Cu) represents an 85 m northward step-out of the SC-1A zone. Additionally, the CS-600 domain was intersected over 45.00 m grading 1.21 g/t AuEQ (0.86 g/t Au, 2.16 g/t Ag, 0.26% Cu).
  • GS-24-187: This 150 m - 200 m northeastward step-out hole tested the extents of multiple SC-1 zones as well as the CS-600 Domain. The hole intersected a wide envelope of Au rich mineralization surrounding intercepts of SC-1C and SC-1D zones, totaling 99.00 m grading 1.43 g/t AuEQ (1.36 g/t Au, 2.21 g/t Ag, 0.04% Cu), which included 10.92 g/t AuEQ over 3.00 m (10.89 g/t Au, 0.97 g/t Ag, 0.02% Cu) within the SC-1C zone, and 5.70 g/t AuEQ over 3.00 m (5.65 g/t Au, 0.95 g/t Ag, 0.03% Cu) within the SC-1D zone. A further intercept of CS-600: 1.22 g/t AuEQ over 115.50 m (0.75 g/t Au, 2.22 g/t Ag, 0.36% Cu) expanded the CS-600 domain over 120 m to the north.

Cardston, Alberta--(Newsfile Corp. - September 11, 2024) - American Creek Resources Ltd. (TSXV: AMK) ("the Corporation" or "American Creek") is pleased to announce that project operator and JV partner Tudor Gold ("Tudor") has produced the results from the fifth hole completed from the 2024 exploration drilling program (the "Program") at the flagship property, Treaty Creek, located in the heart of the Golden Triangle of Northwestern British Columbia. The 2024 Program has recently been safely completed, totaling 10,530 meters (m) with all crews and drilling equipment demobilized from site.

The Supercell-One Zone (SC-1) was identified earlier this year to represent a significant potential economic target that is within, and peripheral to, the CS-600 Domain (see press releases dated February 2 and May 10). The Supercell-One system has greatly expanded with the discovery of two additional sub-parallel (SC-1A and SC-1B) hydrothermal gold-bearing quartz micro-breccia systems above the original SC-1, now labeled as SC-1C. This reported intercept of high-grade gold mineralization within drill hole GS-24-185 expands the size of SC-1C greatly by stepping out from previous drilling intercepts by 255 m up-dip and 140 m along strike. The gold-rich SC-1 system occurs within an area measuring up to 800 m in length by 400 m in depth. All three sub-parallel structures remain open in all directions and to depth. Assays remain pending on an additional intercept of CS-600 Domain in the lower section of GS-24-185.

SC-1C Drilling Highlights (2024):

Hole GS-24-185 intersected a high-grade interval of the Supercell-One System

  • SC-1C; 9.60 g/t AuEQ over 13.50 m (9.58 g/t Au, 0.44 g/t Ag, 0.01% Cu)

Click the following links to view a plan map and cross sections for hole GS-24-185.

Ken Konkin, Tudor Gold President and CEO, comments: "We are very pleased with this newest high-grade result in the planned 140 m northerly step-out from GS-24-184, which intersected 8.09 g/t AuEQ over 6.15 m and a 250 m easterly step-out from GS-24-181, which intersected 5.31g/t AuEQ over 6.00 m (results from news release August 14, 2024). As we continue to expand these systems of high-grade structures farther to the northeast, the gold grades, and the size of the system, are increasing. We are now focusing efforts on examining previous drill intercepts that carry similar high-grade gold values to determine how far the Supercells may have pierced the nucleus of the Goldstorm Domains. Our goal is to define the 'vascular system' of the Supercells as they may be entwined within the heart of the CS-600 Domain, and to continue to trace the extent of these systems in all directions. Although drilling has been completed for this season, results from the final three holes are pending. We believe that the discovery of numerous high-grade gold-bearing structures confirms the presence of a large hydrothermal gold-dominant, late-stage, over-printed system that will give the project a major economic advantage."

Drilling Discussion

Section B

  • GS-24-185: This hole was drilled to step out 140 m from previously drilled SC-1C mineralization, as well as infilling CS-600 mineralization at depth. The hole intersected 13.50 m grading 9.60 g/t AuEQ (9.58 g/t Au, 0.44 g/t Ag, 0.01% Cu) as part of the network of subparallel brecciated Supercell-One complex of structures. This hole also intersected mineralization typical of the CS-600 domain, and assays that remain pending for this intercept will be released in the near future.

Cardston, Alberta--(Newsfile Corp. - September 11, 2024) - American Creek Resources Ltd. (TSXV: AMK) ("the Corporation" or "American Creek") is pleased to announce that project operator and JV partner Tudor Gold ("Tudor") has produced the results from the fifth hole completed from the 2024 exploration drilling program (the "Program") at the flagship property, Treaty Creek, located in the heart of the Golden Triangle of Northwestern British Columbia. The 2024 Program has recently been safely completed, totaling 10,530 meters (m) with all crews and drilling equipment demobilized from site.

The Supercell-One Zone (SC-1) was identified earlier this year to represent a significant potential economic target that is within, and peripheral to, the CS-600 Domain (see press releases dated February 2 and May 10). The Supercell-One system has greatly expanded with the discovery of two additional sub-parallel (SC-1A and SC-1B) hydrothermal gold-bearing quartz micro-breccia systems above the original SC-1, now labeled as SC-1C. This reported intercept of high-grade gold mineralization within drill hole GS-24-185 expands the size of SC-1C greatly by stepping out from previous drilling intercepts by 255 m up-dip and 140 m along strike. The gold-rich SC-1 system occurs within an area measuring up to 800 m in length by 400 m in depth. All three sub-parallel structures remain open in all directions and to depth. Assays remain pending on an additional intercept of CS-600 Domain in the lower section of GS-24-185.

Ken Konkin, Tudor Gold President and CEO, comments: "We are very pleased with this newest high-grade result in the planned 140 m northerly step-out from GS-24-184, which intersected 8.09 g/t AuEQ over 6.15 m and a 250 m easterly step-out from GS-24-181, which intersected 5.31g/t AuEQ over 6.00 m (results from news release August 14, 2024). As we continue to expand these systems of high-grade structures farther to the northeast, the gold grades, and the size of the system, are increasing. We are now focusing efforts on examining previous drill intercepts that carry similar high-grade gold values to determine how far the Supercells may have pierced the nucleus of the Goldstorm Domains. Our goal is to define the 'vascular system' of the Supercells as they may be entwined within the heart of the CS-600 Domain, and to continue to trace the extent of these systems in all directions. Although drilling has been completed for this season, results from the final three holes are pending. We believe that the discovery of numerous high-grade gold-bearing structures confirms the presence of a large hydrothermal gold-dominant, late-stage, over-printed system that will give the project a major economic advantage."

Drilling Discussion

Section B

  • GS-24-185: This hole was drilled to step out 140 m from previously drilled SC-1C mineralization, as well as infilling CS-600 mineralization at depth. The hole intersected 13.50 m grading 9.60 g/t AuEQ (9.58 g/t Au, 0.44 g/t Ag, 0.01% Cu) as part of the network of subparallel brecciated Supercell-One complex of structures. This hole also intersected mineralization typical of the CS-600 domain, and assays that remain pending for this intercept will be released in the near future.

Cardston, Alberta--(Newsfile Corp. - August 14, 2024) - American Creek Resources Ltd. (TSXV: AMK) (OTCQB: ACKRF) ("the Corporation" or "American Creek") is pleased to announce that project operator and JV partner Tudor Gold ("Tudor") has produced the results of the first four holes totaling over 6,174 meters (m) of the planned 10,000-meter 2024 exploration program (the "Program") at the flagship property, Treaty Creek, located in the heart of the Golden Triangle of Northwestern British Columbia. Tudor plans to successfully complete the Program within the northeastern part of the Goldstorm Deposit by the end of the month.

The first four drill-holes reported in this release specifically targeted the Supercell-One Zone (SC-1) which was identified earlier this year as representing a significant potential economic target within and expanding beyond the CS-600 Domain (see press releases dated February 2 and May 10). The results from the recent drilling strongly confirm this new discovery, characterizing a high-grade gold system that falls within an area that currently measures up to 800 m in length by 400 m in depth, with three sub-parallel structures that remain open in all directions and to depth.

SC-1 Drilling Highlights (2024):

Hole GS-24-181 intersected 3 separate high-grade intervals of the Supercell System

  • SC-1A; 9.02 g/t AuEQ over 2.00 m (8.97 g/t Au, 3.73 g/t Ag, 0.01% Cu); and

  • SC-1B; 11.05 g/t AuEQ over 3.00 m (8.28 g/t Au, 126.50 g/t Ag, 1.21% Cu); and

  • SC-1C; 5.31 g/t AuEQ over 6.00 m (5.02 g/t Au, 3.32 g/t Ag, 0.21% Cu)

Hole GS-24-183-W1 intersected 3 separate high-grade intervals of the Supercell System:

  • SC-1A; 6.76 g/t AuEQ over 6.00m (6.44 g/t Au, 26.62 g/t Ag, 0.04% Cu); and

  • SC-1B; 13.89 g/t AuEQ over 6.30m (4.25 g/t Au, 224.59 g/t Ag, 5.96% Cu); and

  • SC-1C; 5.12 g/t AuEQ over 9.00m (5.08 g/t Au, 1.24 g/t Ag, 0.02% Cu)

Hole GS-24-184 intersected the original Supercell-One, discovered in 2022, and now labelled as SC-1C:

  • SC-1C; 8.09 g/t AuEQ over 6.15m (5.44 g/t Au, 63.77 g/t Ag, 1.62% Cu) within a wider structure of 3.54 g/t AuEQ over 19.65m (1.96 g/t Au, 39.05 g/t Ag, 0.96% Cu)
     

Previous 2022 and 2023 drill results from Supercell-One that returned high-grade gold within SC-1C:

GS-23-176-W1:

  • SC-1C; 15.64 g/t AuEQ over 15.00 m (14.89 g/t Au, 4.72 g/t Ag, 0.60% Cu)

GS-22-134:

  • SC-1C; 9.96 g/t AuEQ over 25.50 m (9.66 g/t Au, 1.23 g/t Ag, 0.24% Cu); including 20.86 g/t AuEQ over 4.50 m (20.61 g/t Au, 1.50 g/t Ag, 0.20% Cu)

GS-23-179:

  • SC-1C; 10.07 g/t AuEQ over 12.00 m (9.78 g/t Au, 1.35 g/t Ag, 0.23% Cu)

Ken Konkin, President and CEO, comments: "We are very pleased to announce the discovery of numerous sub-parallel high-grade gold composite lode systems. These quartz-breccia hydrothermal structures may be related to the original Supercell-One complex (SC-1C). We now believe that at least three limbs of similarly mineralized structures make-up the Supercell-One system, labelled SC-1A, SC-1B and SC-1C. Our first drill hole of the year, GS-24-181 intersected visible native gold in the uppermost limb (SC-1A) that appears to be sub-parallel to our original Supercell-One structure (SC-1C). This uppermost structure returned 2.00 m of 9.02 g/t AuEQ (8.97 g/t Au, 3.73 g/t Ag, 0.01% Cu). SC-1A is also sub-parallel to a second deeper breccia intercept in the same drill hole that contained 3.00 m grading 11.05 g/t AuEQ (8.28 g/t Au, 126.50 g/t Ag, 1.21% Cu), labelled as SC-1B. The third intercept of the Supercell complex within GS-24-181 contained 6.00 m grading 5.31 g/t AuEQ (5.02 g/t Au, 3.32 g/t Ag, 0.21% Cu) within SC-1C. The original discovery of the Supercell-One complex (SC-1C) was from drill hole GS-22-134, which demonstrated 17 fine grains of visible gold over 4.5 m that averaged 20.86 g/t AuEQ (20.61 g/t Au, 1.50 g/t Ag, 0.20% Cu). The significance of this discovery was not realized until 2023 when drill holes GS-23-176-W1 and GS-23-179 intersected the same structure. Based on these three intercepts, the priority of the 2024 drilling program shifted to expanding the size of the Supercell-One complex. There are numerous structural similarities between our Supercell-One system and that of the Valley of the Kings Deposit, owned and operated by Newmont Corporation, at the Brucejack Mine to the immediate south of the Goldstorm Deposit.

Equally impressive, a second drill hole, GS-24-183-W1, also intersected high-grade gold and silver values in three, sub-parallel, hydrothermal, quartz-stringer stockwork limbs. SC-1B had the best grades of 13.89 g/t AuEQ over 6.30 m (4.25 g/t Au, 224.59 g/t Ag, 5.96% Cu). This was a unique intercept due to the strength of the silver and copper mineralization. This may represent a semi-massive sulphide component, or pulse, to the Supercell-One system. We have witnessed this association in the earlier years of exploration of the Goldstorm Deposit within similar structures. We are now examining historical intercepts that contain gold values of greater than 4.0 g/t gold to assess the potential that these Supercell structures may be originating from within the CS-600 Domain and extending outwards from that Domain as a late-stage event. Our latest interpretation is that the Supercell-One system is a set of sub-parallel composite-lode breccia stockworks that trend obliquely to the Goldstorm Deposit rather than simply a singular parallel breccia system that occurs adjacent to the upper contact of the CS-600 Domain, as previously thought. An enormous amount of economic potential exists for expanding the size of the known three Supercell structures, as well as the possible discovery of additional gold-silver-copper structures within the Goldstorm Deposit and peripheral to it. Among our highest priorities is the outlining of two to three million ounces of high-grade gold within the Supercell-One complex; this would be a major pivotal point for the Treaty Creek Project.

Additionally important has been the expansion, and conversion to Indicated category, of the higher AuEq grades within the Inferred category of CS-600 and DS5 Domains, which stands at 6.03 million ounces of 1.25 g/t AuEq. The step-out drilling in 2024 has been very successful in continued expansion of both of these domains, with impressive results from GS-24-184 including 147.75 m grading 1.17 g/t AuEQ (0.71 g/t Au, 17.03 g/t Ag, 0.24% Cu) from the CS-600 Domain and 227.00 m of 1.22 g/t AuEQ (1.17 g/t Au, 3.19 g/t Ag, 0.01% Cu) from the DS5 Domain. Drilling continues at a very fast pace at Treaty Creek and we look forward to providing more updates on the results as they become available."

Darren Blaney, President & CEO of American Creek Resources, states: "The Supercell-One System continues to impress not only in grade, but in scale as well. The first few holes of the 2024 drill program have dramatically expanded the SC-1 to 800m in length! In addition, two more parallel high-grades structures have been discovered adding even more potential. Konkin had predicted the potential for multiple high-grade (Supercell) systems and this year's drilling is proving him right. The prospect of the SC-1 system hosting two to three million ounces of high-grade gold is amazing as it would have a significant impact on the feasibility and profitability of the Goldstorm deposit."

Drilling Discussion

Section A

  • GS-24-181: This hole was drilled to step out 150 m from previously drilled SC-1 mineralization, as well as infilling CS-600 mineralization at depth. The hole intersected visible gold within an interval of 2.00 m grading 9.02 g/t AuEQ (8.97 g/t Au, 3.73 g/t Ag, 0.01% Cu), as well as 3.00 m grading 11.05 g/t AuEQ (8.28 g/t Au, 126.50 g/t Ag, 1.21% Cu) as part of a network of subparallel brecciated SC-1 complex structures. The hole intersected a CS-600 intercept of 270.00 m grading 0.95 AuEQ (0.61 g/t Au, 2.28 g/t Ag, 0.26% Cu). The upper portions of this CS-600 intercept contained an additional SC-1 sub-structure of 6.00 m grading 5.31 g/t AuEQ (5.02 g/t Au, 3.32 g/t Ag, 0.21% Cu).

  • GS-24-183-W1: This hole successfully intersected similar SC-1 structures along trend, 200-300m down dip of GS-24-181 including 6.00 m grading 6.76 g/t AuEQ (6.44 g/t Au, 26.62 g/t Ag, 0.04% Cu) and 6.30 m grading 13.89 g/t AuEQ (4.25 g/t Au, 224.59 g/t Ag, 5.96% Cu). Additionally, a third SC-1 intercept occurs slightly up-dip of the CS-600 Domain with 9.00 m grading 5.12 g/t AuEQ (5.08 g/t Au, 1.24 g/t Ag, 0.02% Cu), followed by a CS-600 intercept of 90 m grading 0.81 g/t AuEQ (0.58 g/t Au, 3.48 g/t Ag, 0.15% Cu).

Section B

  • GS-24-182: This hole was drilled to increase the drilling density in the CS-600 and DS5 Domains where the current Mineral Resource Estimate is categorized as Inferred mineral resources. The hole intersected mineralization associated with the CS-600 Domain that consisted of 276.00 m grading 0.73 g/t AuEQ (0.31 g/t Au, 10.07 g/t Ag and 0.25% Cu) and DS5 Domain mineralization of 34.50 m of 1.06 g/t AuEQ (1.00 g/t Au, 3.45 g/t Ag and 0.02 % Cu).

  • GS-24-184: This hole was targeted to achieve a 150 m eastward step out to the CS-600 Domain and a 200 m eastward step out on the DS-5 Domain. The upper contact of the CS-600 Domain contained an enriched portion interpreted as an additional SC-1 intercept of 6.15 m of 8.09 g/t AuEQ (5.44 g/t Au, 63.77 g/t Ag, 1.62% Cu) within a wider structure of 19.65 m grading 3.54 g/t AuEQ (1.96 g/t Au, 39.05 g/t Ag, 0.96% Cu), contributing to a complete CS-600 intercept of 147.75 m grading 1.17 g/t AuEQ (0.71 g/t Au, 17.03 g/t Ag, 0.24% Cu). An underlying DS5 Domain interval of 227.00 m of 1.22 g/t AuEQ (1.17 g/t Au, 3.19 g/t Ag, 0.01% Cu) contained an enriched portion of 12.00 m grading 4.20 g/t AuEQ (4.13 g/t Au, 3.46 g/t Ag, 0.03% Cu).

Cardston, Alberta--(Newsfile Corp. - June 19, 2024) - American Creek Resources Ltd. (TSXV: AMK) (OTCQB: ACKRF) ("the Corporation" or "American Creek") is pleased to announce that its JV partner Tudor Gold has provided the following strategic plan for the upcoming year centered on the Treaty Creek gold and copper project, located in the Golden Triangle of British Columbia.

Key Objectives of Tudor's Strategic Plan

Over the next 12 months, Tudor Gold expects to complete the following objectives:

  • Continue the ongoing exploration and definition drilling program in Q3 2024 and report on results;

  • Advance the metallurgical program and provide the results of this test work in 2024;

  • Proceed with preliminary permitting and environmental requirements; and,

  • Complete a Preliminary Economic Assessment by Q2 2025.

Drilling Update

On May 9, 2024, Tudor Gold initiated a 10,000-meter (m) diamond drilling program at the Goldstorm Deposit, with the primary goal of expanding and upgrading the Mineral Resource Estimate released early this year (April 9, 2024 news release). To date, approximately 4,000m of drilling, including two drill holes, have been completed on schedule. The first hole GS-24-181 intersected fine to medium-grained visible native gold at 810.5 m. It is believed that this mineralization could be associated to the 300N mineral domain and possibly represents a series of parallel high-grade structures similar to Supercell One (SC-1). Click on the following link to view a photo of the core.

The current drilling program is concentrated on step-out and in-fill drilling within the high-grade SC-1 system, a gold-dominant, quartz-sulfide, breccia-hosted structural corridor. This system remains open to the northwest, north, and east (February 2, 2024 news release). The Company plans to further explore this higher-grade zone with continued drilling. Results from the recently completed drill holes will be shared as soon as assay data is received.

Previous drilling results from SC-1 in 2022 and 2023 include the following high-grade gold intercepts:

  • Hole GS-23-176-W1: 15.00 m @ 15.64 grams/tonne (g/t) gold equivalent (AuEQ) (14.89 g/t gold (Au), 4.72 g/t silver (Ag), 0.60% copper (Cu))

  • Hole GS-22-134: 25.50 m @ 9.96 g/t AuEQ (9.66 g/t Au, 1.23 g/t Ag, 0.24% Cu)

    • Including 4.50 m @ 20.86 g/t AuEQ (20.61 g/t Au, 1.50 g/t Ag, 0.20% Cu)

  • Hole GS-23-179: 12.00 m @ 10.07 g/t AuEQ (9.78 g/t Au, 1.35 g/t Ag, 0.23% Cu)

Click the following links to view the corresponding SC-1 plan view map and drill sections.

Metallurgical Studies on the Goldstorm Deposit

Tudor Gold is confident that further metallurgical testing will continue to improve on the Goldstorm Deposit. As previously reported (February 20, 2024 news release), flotation testing demonstrated that the CS-600 domain can produce a quality copper concentrate with significant quantities of gold.

The ongoing phase of metallurgical test work on the Goldstorm Deposit is progressing well and is focused on improving the outcomes achieved in the previously reported program conducted by Blue Coast Research Ltd. (BCR), under the supervision of Tad Crowie, P. Eng of JDS Energy & Mining Inc. This phase of testing is expected to provide information to be used in a Preliminary Economic Assessment and includes comminution, follow up flotation tests, alternate forms of oxidation, and leaching tests to recover copper and gold.

Preliminary Economic Assessment and Environmental Studies

The initiation of a Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) for Treaty Creek's Goldstorm Deposit is expected to begin in the next quarter, with Tudor Gold aiming to complete this study by Q2 2025. The PEA is anticipated to detail a phased production strategy focusing on exploiting high-grade areas or supercells of the Goldstorm Deposit to maximize the internal rate of return (IRR). To ensure accuracy of the PEA, Tudor Gold will continue to optimize the project and develop a comprehensive strategy to facilitate the permitting process for implementing the best mining methods and phased production strategy. Efforts will also be made to define precise cost estimates to ensure that projected capital expenditures align with prefeasibility study standards, strengthening the project's economic viability and credibility. Additionally, the PEA is expected to establish work programs to guide Tudor towards subsequent stages, including a detailed prefeasibility study to be completed in the future.

Continued environmental studies are being conducted to assist in the economic evaluation and permitting process for the Treaty Creek Project.

Consideration of $0.43 Cdn per Common Share represents a premium of approximately 274%

Cardston, Alberta--(Newsfile Corp. - June 6, 2024) - American Creek Resources Ltd. (TSXV: AMK) ("American Creek" or the "Company"), announces that it has entered into a non-binding and arm's length letter of intent dated June 5, 2024 (the "LOI") with Cunningham Mining Ltd. ("Cunningham"), a private British Columbia corporation, to engage in due diligence and negotiations regarding the terms of a proposed transaction (the "Proposed Transaction") whereby Cunningham, or a subsidiary of Cunningham, would acquire all of the issued and outstanding securities of the Company. Through this proposed transaction, Cunningham would acquire control of the Company's 20% fully carried interest in the Treaty Creek Property which has an Indicated Mineral Resource of 27.87 million ounces (Moz) of AuEQ grading 1.19 g/t AuEQ and an Inferred Mineral Resource of 6.03 Moz of AuEQ grading 1.25 g/t AuEQ (see complete description below). If the parties agree to proceed with the Proposed Transaction, the Company expects the Proposed Transaction will be carried out by way of a court-approved plan of arrangement (the "Arrangement") under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) (the "BCBCA").

The Company's Board of Directors (the "Board"), after an extensive period of negotiation and consideration of various alternatives, has approved entry into the LOI, pursuant to which Cunningham proposes to acquire all the issued and outstanding securities of the Company, including all common shares of the Company (the "Common Shares"), at a price of $0.43 Cdn per Common Share, payable in cash (the "Consideration"). The Consideration represents a premium of approximately 274% to the $0.115 Cdn closing price of the Common Shares on the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV") on June 5, 2024 (the last trading day prior to the execution of the LOI). The LOI is non-binding and there can be no assurance that the Proposed Transaction contemplated by the LOI, or any other transaction, will be completed. Closing is subject to a number of conditions and uncertainties described below.

Darren Blaney, CEO of American Creek, stated: "We are excited that Cunningham has recognized the value and the potential of the Treaty Creek Property despite the tough junior market conditions we are currently experiencing. We believe this proposed transaction may provide not only a liquidity event for our longstanding shareholders, but also represents an opportunity for shareholders to potentially realize a 250% plus premium to the present market valuation of their equity in the company. We look forward to working with Cunningham to finalize a definitive agreement in due course that protects and provides value for our shareholders."

Ryan Cunningham, CEO of Cunningham, stated: "With this pending future transaction Cunningham Mining is ushering in the next frontier in terms of tokenization and monetization of in ground mineral resources. We are confident in the prospects of the gold, silver, and copper resources of the Treaty Creek Property and feel it will be a transformational addition to our upcoming NGTGOLD Token. Our team looks forward to the role it will play in the Golden Triangle as well as in the future of mining."

Exclusivity

The LOI provides for an exclusivity period ending at 4:00pm (Vancouver Time) on August 5, 2024 (the "Expiry Time"). Among other things, until the Expiry Time:

  • American Creek and Cunningham will deal exclusively with each other in good faith to complete all reasonable and customary due diligence and to negotiate the Definitive Agreement;

  • American Creek will continue to operate its business in the ordinary course, consistent with past practice;

  • American Creek will discontinue any existing discussions, and not initiate any discussion, regarding alternative transactions; and

  • American Creek and Cunningham will seek to negotiate a definitive agreement (the "Definitive Agreement") setting out the terms of the Arrangement.

Superior Proposals

Notwithstanding the exclusivity provisions of the LOI, the Board has negotiated customary carve outs for unsolicited, bona fide proposals that the Board determines, in good faith, would if consummated result in a superior transaction that is more favourable to shareholders of American Creek. Failure to participate in such discussions or negotiations would be inconsistent with the Board's fiduciary duties.

Structure

The final structure of the transaction will be set out in the Definitive Agreement and will be based on considerations relating to matters of applicable corporate, securities, tax and other applicable laws and regulations. The LOI is non-binding, and the Proposed Transaction is subject to due diligence, and the negotiation of definitive terms and other conditions. If the Definitive Agreement is entered into, the Company will work expeditiously to secure the requisite approval in accordance with Section 288 of the BCBCA.

Financing Failure Fee

Execution of the Definitive Agreement will be subject to, and conditional upon, Cunningham obtaining sufficient financing to consummate the Proposed Transaction in the amount of approximately $209,537,516 Cdn (the "Financing"). In the event Cunningham is unable to provide American Creek with evidence whereby certain persons have committed to provide Cunningham with the Financing prior to the Expiry Time, Cunningham shall pay and deliver to American Creek a cash payment by wire transfer of immediately available funds (the "Financing Failure Fee"). The Financing Failure Fee will be up to $115,000 Cdn and is subject to certain adjustments.

Termination Fee

The LOI will terminate upon the earlier of certain events, including:

  • the Expiry Time;

  • the execution by American Creek and Cunningham of the Definitive Agreement;

  • written notice by American Creek to Cunningham that it is terminating the LOI because the Board has determined (and either publicly announced by the Board or any other person other than Cunningham) that it has received an alternative transaction that is a superior transaction that is more favorable to the shareholders of American Creek and that failure to pursue such alternative transaction would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable law; provided, however, that American Creek has complied with its obligations under the LOI and Cunningham does not exercise its right to match such alternative transaction within the required time frame in accordance with the LOI (the "Termination Fee Event"); or

  • the written agreement of the parties. The termination will not, however, affect the liability of any party for any prior breach of any provision of the LOI.

If a Termination Fee Event occurs, and within nine (9) calendar months of such termination:

  • an alternative transaction (and such alternative transaction is the same alternative transaction referenced above with the same counterparties) is consummated or effected; or

  • American Creek and/or any of its subsidiaries, directly or indirectly, in one or more transactions, enters into a written agreement (other than a confidentiality or standstill agreement) in respect of an alternative transaction (and such alternative transaction is the same alternative transaction referenced above with the same counterparties) and, in each case, such an Alternative Transaction is later consummated,

American Creek shall pay to (or procure the payment to) Cunningham a termination fee of $6,286,125 Cdn (the "Termination Fee") prior to, or simultaneously with, the consummation of such alternative transaction. In the event that the Termination Fee is paid in full to Cunningham (or as it directs) in the manner provided in the LOI, no other amounts will be due and payable as damages or otherwise by American Creek to Cunningham

Special Committee

A Special Committee of the Board (the "Special Committee") has been formed to consider, negotiate and, if applicable, finalize the Proposed Transaction, and to make a recommendation to the Board for approval prior to the execution of the Definitive Agreement or the submission of the Proposed Transaction to shareholders of the Company for a vote.

LOI Non-Binding

As discussions are ongoing, the Company cannot provide any assurance that it will be able to agree on the final terms of the Definitive Agreement with Cunningham. Any Proposed Transaction will be subject to, among other conditions, completion of due diligence by Cunningham, negotiation of the Definitive Agreement, a recommendation of the Special Committee, and approval by the Board. Approvals will also be required from shareholders of the Company, the Supreme Court of British Columbia (in accordance with the BCBCA), and the TSXV. The Arrangement will also be conditional upon such other customary closing conditions that may be included in the Definitive Agreement.

If a Definitive Agreement is executed, the Company expects that it will be required to hold a special meeting (the "Special Meeting") of the Company's shareholders to approve the Proposed Transaction. The Proposed Transaction is subject to receipt of the foregoing approvals and other customary closing conditions. Terms and conditions of the Proposed Transaction are expected to be disclosed in greater detail in a management information circular for the Special Meeting (the "Circular"). Following execution of the Definitive Agreement, a Circular will be mailed to the Company's shareholders. There are no finder's fees payable by American Creek in connection with the Proposed Transaction.

In the event that the Company executes a Definitive Agreement with Cunningham, copies of such Definitive Agreement and a Circular for the Special Meeting will be filed with Canadian securities regulators. Documents filed by the Company with Canadian securities regulators are available on the SEDAR+ profile of the Company at www.sedarplus.ca. Shareholders are urged to read any relevant materials when they become available. However, Shareholders do not need to take any action with respect to the Proposed Transaction at this time.

Cardston, Alberta--(Newsfile Corp. - May 10, 2024) - American Creek Resources Ltd. (TSXV: AMK) (OTCQB: ACKRF) ("the Corporation" or "American Creek") is pleased to announce that crews from JV partner Tudor Gold are on site preparing camp and drill locations for the upcoming 2024 exploration program at the flagship Treaty Creek Project, located in the Golden Triangle of Northwest British Columbia. Two diamond drills were mobilized to the project on May 7th and 8th and drilling commenced on May 9th.

Phase 1 of the 2024 exploration program is expected to consist of approximately 10,000 meters (m) of diamond drilling at the Goldstorm Deposit. The primary objective of the Phase 1 drill program is to expand and upgrade the recently released Mineral Resource Estimate (news release dated April 8, 2024). Several drill holes have been designed as step-out drilling to the high-grade Supercell One (SC-1) system identified in 2023 (news release dated February 1, 2024). Supercell One is a gold dominant, quartz-sulphide, breccia-hosted structural corridor open to the northwest, north and east.

Previous drilling results from Supercell One include the following high-grade gold intercepts:

  • GS-23-176-W1: 15.00 m @ 15.64 grams/tonne (g/t) AuEQ (14.89 g/t gold (Au), 4.72 g/t silver (Ag), 0.60% copper (Cu))
  • GS-22-134: 25.50 m @ 9.96 g/t AuEQ (9.66 g/t Au, 1.23 g/t Ag, 0.24% Cu)
    • Including 4.50 m @ 20.86 g/t AuEQ (20.61 g/t Au, 1.50 g/t Ag, 0.20% Cu)
  • GS-23-179: 12.00 m @ 10.07 g/t AuEQ (9.78 g/t Au, 1.35 g/t Ag, 0.23% Cu)

Click the following links to view the corresponding SC-1 plan view map and drill sections.

Drilling will take place from two drill pads that were built last fall in preparation for this program. One drill rig is positioned just beyond the northern limit of known mineralization and the second rig is located at the northeastern boundaries of the Goldstorm Deposit. Drilling will focus on an area located between 200-250 m northeast of the current Mineral Resource limit.

  • Diamond Drill 1 is to be mobilized to Pad 12 (Section A) to complete three holes. Drill holes 12A and 12B will further test the 100 m down-dip extension of the CS-600 domain and the projection of the SC-1 system to the north and at depth. Drill hole 12C is an infill hole, testing the continuity and following up on the impressive results from drill holes GS-23-176-W1 (1.23 g/t Au, 2.93 g/t Ag, 0.12% Cu over 601.5 m) and GS-23-179 (1.16 g/t Au, 2.25 g/t Ag, 0.19% Cu over 223.5 m). Our planned hole 12C is estimated to intersect a distance of approximately 140 m east of GS-23-176-W1 and 120 m west of GS-23-179.

  • Diamond Drill 2 is to be mobilized to Pad 13 (Section B), currently the furthest northeast step-out on the deposit to date, to complete four drill holes. All four drill holes are targeting the northeast extension of the CS-600 domain and the nested SC-1 system in a regularly spaced drill fence. Drill holes 13A and 13B are to target a northward 200-m step-out of the lower CS-600 domain to the northwest and east of drill hole GS-23-179 by approximately 120 m. Drill holes 13C and 13D are designed to increase drilling density and potentially upgrade the resource category from Inferred to Indicated in the CS-600 and DS5 domains, laterally and at depth.

Ken Konkin, President & CEO of Tudor Gold, commented: "We are very excited to begin the 2024 diamond drill hole program well beyond the known northern and northeastern limits of the Goldstorm Deposit. I would like to congratulate our field crews for completing a safe and efficient start-up of the program which is designed to pierce areas that have been identified as high-grade gold targets in the newly identified Supercell One (SC-1) breccia system. Three wide-spaced drill holes have previously intersected a tectonic structural corridor which hosts fine-grained visible native gold identified in drill hole GS-22-134 with 20.86 g/t AuEq over 4.5 m (20.61 g/t Au, 1.5 g/t Ag, 0.20% Cu) within 25.5 m of 9.96 g/t AuEQ (9.66 g/t Au, 1.23 g/t Ag, 0.24% Cu). Subsequent exploration drilling intersected the same auriferous, hydrothermal, late-stage breccia zone with drill holes GS-23-176-W1 with 15.64 g/t AuEQ over 15.0 m (14.89 g/t Au, 4.72 g/t and Ag, 0.60% Cu) and GS-23-179 with 10.07 g/t AuEq over 12.0 m (9.78 g/t Au, 1.35 g/t Ag and 0.23% Cu). These three holes identified a geological target that occurs along a 400-m down-dip projection near the upper contact area of the CS-600 domain.

"In addition to testing the SC-1 high-grade breccia, the proposed Phase 1 drill holes are designed to expand and convert much of the inferred mineralization within the CS-600 and DS5 domains that is estimated to contain approximately six million ounces of gold-equivalent resource (Inferred) grading 1.25 g/t AuEq. Our concept is to add as much high-grade ounces to our current Estimated Mineral Resource of 26.9 million ounces of 1.19 g/t AuEq. With the completion of this year's program, we expect to publish a Preliminary Economic Assessment of our Goldstorm Deposit planned for release in late Q1 or early Q2 2025."

Darren Blaney, President & CEO of American Creek Resources, states: "The 2024 drill program has the potential to be the most significant one yet. Every year, as Tudor has drilled further north, the grades have continued to increase. Nowhere is this more evident than in the high-grade SC-1 system. We are confident that the overall scale and grade of the Goldstorm deposit will continue to increase through this year's drilling and are excited about the prospects of the high-grade supercells, including the SC-1 system."

Cardston, Alberta--(Newsfile Corp. - April 9, 2024) - American Creek Resources Ltd. (TSXV: AMK) (OTCQB: ACKRF) ("the Corporation" or "American Creek") is pleased to announce that project operator and JV partner Tudor Gold ("Tudor") has filed the technical report (the "Report") for the updated Mineral Resource Estimate on the Goldstorm Deposit (the "MRE" or "2024 Treaty Creek MRE") at the flagship Treaty Creek Project (the "Project") located in the Golden Triangle region of British Columbia. The Report is entitled "NI 43-101 Technical Report, Treaty Creek Project, British Columbia", with an effective date of April 5, 2024 and was prepared for Tudor Gold by Garth Kirkham Geosystems and JDS Energy & Mining Inc. ("JDS"). The Report is available under the Tudor's profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com or from the Tudor's website at www.tudor-gold.com.

Highlights of the 2024 Updated Mineral Resource Estimate for the Goldstorm Deposit:

  • Increased the Indicated Mineral Resource by 19% in gold equivalent ounces (AuEQ), consisting of a 16% increase in gold (Au), 14% increase in silver (Ag) and 32% increase in copper (Cu).

  • Indicated Mineral Resource of 27.87 million ounces (Moz) of AuEQ within 730.20 million tonnes (Mt) at a grade of 1.19 g/t AuEQ; comprised of:

    • 21.66 Moz of Au at 0.92 g/t, 128.73 Moz of Ag at 5.48 g/t, and 2.87 billion pounds (Blbs) of Cu at 0.18%.

  • Inferred Mineral Resource of 6.03 Moz of AuEQ within 149.61 Mt at a grade of 1.25 g/t AuEQ; comprised of:

    • 4.88 Moz of Au at 1.01 g/t, 28.97 Moz of Ag at 6.02 g/t, and 503.23 million pounds (Mlbs) of Cu at 0.15%.

  • The CS-600 domain, comprised of a monzodiorite intrusive stock and associated gold-copper porphyry system, constitutes a large part of the deposit with an Indicated Mineral Resource of 15.65 Moz of AuEQ within 400.29 Mt at a grade of 1.22 g/t AuEQ; consisting of:

    • 9.99 Moz of Au at 0.78 g/t; and 2.73 Blbs of Cu at 0.31%.

    • An 58% increase in the AuEQ ounces within the CS-600 domain.

  • The 2023 drilling improved our geologic understanding of the mineralization in the northern portion of the deposit. The NS-STK Domain was reinterpreted to be a NE-SW trending stockwork and is associated with the 300H Domain mineralization. This system has now been separated into its own mineral domain, named 300N.

  • Advanced metallurgical studies and refined the pit constrained and underground cutoff grades, increasing the pit constrained cutoff from 0.5 to 0.7 g/t AuEQ and the underground cutoff from 0.7 to 0.75 g/t AuEQ.

  • Substantially reduced the pit size which eliminated the necessity to remove the glacier and reduced the strip ratio.

  • The Goldstorm Deposit remains open to the south, north, northeast and at depth.

Updated Mineral Resource Estimate for the Goldstorm Deposit

The MRE was prepared by Garth Kirkham, P.Geo, based on 225 diamond drill holes (175,719 meters) completed between 2007 and 2023. The MRE included 27,394 meters of diamond drill holes that were completed since the 2023 MRE.

(1) Mineral Resources, which are not Mineral Reserves, do not have demonstrated economic viability. The estimate of Mineral Resources may be materially affected by environmental, permitting, legal, title, taxation, sociopolitical, marketing, or other relevant issues.
(2)
The Inferred Mineral Resource in this estimate has a lower level of confidence than that applied to an Indicated Mineral Resource and must not be converted to a Mineral Reserve. It is reasonably expected that the majority of the inferred Mineral Resource could be upgraded to an Indicated Mineral Resource with continued exploration.
(3)
The Mineral Resources in this press release were estimated using the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (CIM) Standards on Mineral Resources and Reserves, Definitions (2014) and Best Practices (2019) prepared by the CIM Standing Committee on Reserve Definitions and adopted by CIM Council.
(4)
The Mineral Resource Estimate was prepared for a potential open pit scenario using a constrained pit shell (with 45-degree slopes) at a 0.7 g/t gold equivalent cut-off grade and an underground mining scenario using a 0.75 g/t gold equivalent cut-off grade. Cut-off grades were derived from US$ 1,850/oz gold, US$ 21/oz silver, US$ 3.75/lb copper, CAD:USD of 0.77, C$ 2.50/tonne open pit and C$8.50 underground mining cost, C$ 38.50/tonne milled processing costs, and a C$ 1.50/tonne G&A cost. Process recoveries of 90% for gold, 80% for copper, and 80% for silver were used for the CS-600 domain and 90% for gold and 80% for silver with no copper for all other mineral domains
(5)
AuEq g/t = Au g/t + (Ag g/t*0.01) + (Cu ppm*0.000124)
(6)
A mineral estimate of the material within the defined pit that exists outside of the outlined mineral domains was completed and is included within the Inferred Mineral Resource.

The Goldstorm sensitivity tables (Tables 2,3,4 and 5) report the variation of resource grade and tonnage with respect to the change in cut-off grades for the Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resources.

Cardston, Alberta--(Newsfile Corp. - February 20, 2024) - American Creek Resources Ltd. (TSXV: AMK) (OTCQB: ACKRF) ("the Corporation" or "American Creek") is pleased to announce that project operator and JV partner Tudor Gold ("Tudor") has provided the results of its updated Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) prepared by Garth Kirkham P. Geo., of Kirkham Geosystems Ltd., and JDS Energy and Mining Inc. ("JDS") for the flagship Treaty Creek project (the "Project") located in the Golden Triangle Region of British Columbia.

Tudor Gold's previous MRE for the Project was included in a technical report entitled "NI 43-101 Technical Report, Treaty Creek Project, British Columbia,", dated April 28, 2023, with an effective date of April 28, 2023. (the "2023 MRE").

Highlights of the 2024 Updated Mineral Resource Estimate for the Goldstorm Deposit:

  • Increased the Indicated Mineral Resource by 19% in gold equivalent ounces (AuEQ), consisting of a 16% increase in gold (Au), 14% increase in silver (Ag) and 32% increase in copper (Cu).
  • Indicated Mineral Resource of 27.87 million ounces (Moz) of AuEQ within 730.20 million tonnes (Mt) at a grade of 1.19 g/t AuEQ; comprised of:
  • 21.66 Moz of Au at 0.92 g/t, 128.73 Moz of Ag at 5.48 g/t, and 2.87 billion pounds (Blbs) of Cu at 0.18%.
  • Inferred Mineral Resource of 6.03 Moz of AuEQ within 149.61 Mt at a grade of 1.25 g/t AuEQ; comprised of:
  • 4.88 Moz of Au at 1.01 g/t, 28.97 Moz of Ag at 6.02 g/t, and 503.23 million pounds (Mlbs) of Cu at 0.15%.
  • The CS-600 domain, comprised of a monzodiorite intrusive stock and associated gold-copper porphyry system, constitutes a large part of the deposit with an Indicated Mineral Resource of 15.65 Moz of AuEQ within 400.29 Mt at a grade of 1.22 g/t AuEQ; consisting of:
  • 9.99 Moz of Au at 0.78 g/t; and 2.73 Blbs of Cu at 0.31%.
  • An 58% increase in the AuEQ ounces within the CS-600 domain.
  • The 2023 drilling improved our geologic understanding of the mineralization in the northern portion of the deposit. The NS-STK Domain was reinterpreted to be a NE-SW trending stockwork and is associated with the 300H Domain mineralization. This system has now been separated into its own mineral domain, named 300N.
  • Advanced metallurgical studies and refined the pit constrained and underground cutoff grades, increasing the pit constrained cutoff from 0.5 to 0.7 g/t AuEQ and the underground cutoff from 0.7 to 0.75 g/t AuEQ.
  • Substantially reduced the pit size which eliminated the necessity to remove the glacier and reduced the strip ratio.
  • The Goldstorm Deposit remains open to the south, north, northeast and at depth.

Commenting on the results, Ken Konkin, President & CEO of Tudor Gold, "Our technical team has done an outstanding job, increasing the volume, the grade, and the geological understanding of our massive Goldstorm Deposit. The 2023 drill hole program was designed to expand the mineralized domains to their northern, northeastern and eastern extents. We not only pushed out the edges of the Deposit, but we also successfully increased the grade of the Inferred Mineral Resource.

The 2023 Inferred Mineral Resource was 7.35 million ounces of AuEQ at 0.98 g/t AuEQ but we were able to convert some of those ounces to the Indicated category and increase the grade of the current Inferred Mineral Resource of 6.03 million ounces of AuEQ to 1.25 g/t AuEQ. This was a result of drilling higher grades in our step-out holes, as well as converting several of the 2023 Inferred Mineral Resources to the Indicated Mineral Resource category through closer-spaced fill-in drilling. Furthermore, the copper content of the CS-600 domain in the Indicated category has also increased by 37%, now containing 2.73 billion lbs of copper at 0.31% with an additional Inferred Mineral Resource of 476 million lbs of 0.29% copper.

The higher gold-equivalent grades in the Inferred category strongly suggests that we have not yet passed through the strongest portion of the Goldstorm mineralized system. We hope that the 2024 drill program can give us clear information about the configuration and boundaries of the Deposit, as it remains open in all directions and at depth. Our Goldstorm system has continued to expand, as has our understanding of the minable potential, as we continue to advance the project towards a PEA.

Tudor Gold is also pleased to announce the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding with the Tsetsaut Skii km Lax Ha Nation, on whose territory the project area is located. Tudor Gold understands and acknowledges that the Nisga'a and Tahltan also assert interests in the Treaty Creek area. In accordance with the Ministry of Mines, we seek consultation with all First Nation groups as part of our compliance and permitting requirements. We are committed to working with all First Nations groups who may be impacted by our project as part of our Truth and Reconciliation policies. We welcome the opportunity of working together to build a strong and robust project that is beneficial to all who live in the Northern communities."

Updated Mineral Resource Estimate for the Goldstorm Deposit

The MRE was prepared by Garth Kirkham, P.Geo, based on 225 diamond drill holes (175,719 meters) completed between 2007 and 2023. The MRE included 27,394 meters of diamond drill holes that were completed since the 2023 MRE. A National Instrument 43-101 Technical Report is expected to be prepared by Garth Kirkham Geosystems and JDS and posted on www.tudor-gold.com and under the Tudor's profile on www.SEDAR.com within 45 days of the date of this news release.

(1) Mineral Resources, which are not Mineral Reserves, do not have demonstrated economic viability. The estimate of Mineral Resources may be materially affected by environmental, permitting, legal, title, taxation, sociopolitical, marketing, or other relevant issues.

(2) The Inferred Mineral Resource in this estimate has a lower level of confidence than that applied to an Indicated Mineral Resource and must not be converted to a Mineral Reserve. It is reasonably expected that the majority of the inferred Mineral Resource could be upgraded to an Indicated Mineral Resource with continued exploration.

(3) The Mineral Resources in this press release were estimated using the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (CIM) Standards on Mineral Resources and Reserves, Definitions (2014) and Best Practices (2019) prepared by the CIM Standing Committee on Reserve Definitions and adopted by CIM Council.

(4) The Mineral Resource Estimate was prepared for a potential open pit scenario using a constrained pit shell (with 45-degree slopes) at a 0.7 g/t gold equivalent cut-off grade and an underground mining scenario using a 0.75 g/t gold equivalent cut-off grade. Cut-off grades were derived from US$ 1,850/oz gold, US$ 21/oz silver, US$ 3.75/lb copper, CAD:USD of 0.77, C$ 2.50/tonne open pit and C$8.50 underground mining cost, C$ 48.25/tonne milled processing costs for the Copper Belle, 300H, R66, DS5 and 300N domains, and C$ 28.50/tonne milled processing costs for the CS-600 domain, and a C$ 1.50/tonne G&A cost. Process recoveries of 90% for gold, 80% for copper, and 80% for silver were used for the CS-600 domain and 90% for gold and 80% for silver with no copper for all other mineral domains

(5) AuEq g/t = Au g/t + (Ag g/t*0.01009) + (Cu ppm*0.0001236)

(6) A mineral estimate of the material within the defined pit that exists outside of the outlined mineral domains was completed and is included within the Inferred Mineral Resource.

The Goldstorm sensitivity tables (Tables 2,3,4 and 5) report the variation of resource grade and tonnage with respect to the change in cut-off grades for the Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resources.

Metallurgical Studies Update

Blue Coast Research Ltd. (BCR), under the supervision of Tad Crowie, P. Eng of JDS Energy & Mining Inc., has been conducting a metallurgical test work program on samples from the Company's Goldstorm Deposit from the Treaty Creek Property. The program includes flotation and whole ore cyanide leach to build on previous work conducted at SGS and Bureau Veritas (BV). The flotation tests demonstrate that the CS-600 domain can produce a quality copper concentrate with significant quantities of gold. Also, CS-600 cyanidation results demonstrated improved gold recoveries over previous test work. The positive flotation and leaching tests, along with previously conducted oxidative stage (POX, Albion, or bioleach) and leaching will continue to allow for previously reported gold recoveries of 90% and copper recoveries of 80% for the CS-600 domain. The test work completed to date has indicated that there are no deleterious elements of concern in processing the Treaty Creek material or selling concentrates.

In the flotation tests, emphasis was placed on the CS-600 domain to produce a copper concentrate and a pyrite/gold concentrate as the CS-600 area had previously only received preliminary test work. Metallurgical results from the CS-600 domain include:

  • Flotation testing of the CS-600 produced a concentrate of approximately 20% copper and 25 g/t gold;

  • Flotation recoveries for the CS-600 domain achieved 79.5% and 65.3% for copper and gold respectively;

  • Flotation recoveries of the 300H, and DS5 domains demonstrate that gold can be concentrated prior to oxidation and cyanide leaching to improve the economics of recovery; and

  • Whole ore leach recoveries of 81.1% gold on the CS-600 sample.

The next phase of metallurgical test work will build upon the results that have already been achieved with a program that will provide information to be used in a Preliminary Economic Assessment. The test work will include comminution, follow up flotation tests, alternate forms of oxidation, and leaching tests to recover copper and gold. The flotation tests will target reducing the amount of non-sulphide gangue that is entrained in the flotation concentrates to improve the concentrate grades achieved thus far.

Darren Blaney, American Creek President and CEO, states: "This is a significant day in the history of Treaty Creek. When we optioned the property back in 2007, we firmly believed that it had the potential to host several World-Class deposits. Through the exceptional work done by our JV partner, Tudor Gold, the first of those is becoming a reality. It's amazing to have a deposit of this scale and grade close to roads, power, and shipping ports in a politically stable jurisdiction. We see a bright future for gold, silver, and copper; all indications are that the Goldstorm will continue to grow in size and grade this year. We are equally pleased with the advancements in metallurgical work at the Goldstrom deposit as it moves towards a Preliminary Economic Assessment."

Cardston, Alberta--(Newsfile Corp. - February 15, 2024) - American Creek Resources Ltd. (TSXV: AMK) ("the Corporation" or "American Creek") is pleased to announce that project operator and JV partner Tudor Gold ("Tudor") has provided the following review of the 2023 drill program (the "Program") at the flagship property, Treaty Creek, located in the heart of the Golden Triangle of Northwestern British Columbia.

The Program consisted of a total of 31,904 meters (m) drilled over 25 holes within the Goldstorm Deposit (the "Goldstorm Deposit") and 8 holes at the Perfectstorm Zone ("PSZ"). The primary focus of drilling within the Goldstorm area was twofold: to upgrade much of the Inferred Mineral Resources to the Indicated Mineral Resource category and to extend the boundaries of the deposit towards the north and northeast. Drilling at PSZ concentrated on expanding on the known mineralized zone by targeting both the southwestern and northeastern regions, which are approximately 1500 m apart.

Highlights of the Program include:

  • Step-out and infill drilling continued to consistently intersect strong gold, copper and silver mineralization outside the previously defined resource area of the Goldstorm Deposit to depth and along the northeastern axis by 250 m to 350 m to the north and northeast;

  • Drilled a number of new high-grade intercepts within and outside the boundaries of the Goldstorm Deposit. Notably, hole GS-23-179, a 200 m step-out to the northeast of the CS-600 Domain. This hole returned an intercept of 525.0 m of 1.01 g/t AuEQ (0.85 g/t Au, 1.94 g/t Ag, 0.13 % Cu) which included a higher-grade interval of 223.5 m of 1.42 g/t AuEQ (1.16 g/t Au, 2.25 g/t Ag, 0.19 % Cu) that included 43.5 m of 3.73 g/t AuEQ (3.52 g/t Au, 2.18 g/t Ag, 0.16 % Cu) and 12.0 m of 10.07 g/t AuEQ (9.78 g/t Au, 1.35 g/t Ag, 0.23 % Cu);1

  • Encountered stronger than expected copper grades within the CS-600 Domain of the Goldstorm Deposit, notably hole GS-23-168-W1, which targeted the deep, northwest portion of the CS-600 Domain. The hole intersected an area classified as an Inferred Mineral Resource in the previous Mineral Resource Estimate. Prior to entering the CS-600, a mineralized section of 75.0 m of 1.34 g/t AuEQ (1.27 g/t Au, 5.89 g/t Ag, 0.01 % Cu) was cut, and this is interpreted to be the 300H Domain, or related mineral system. A long intercept of CS-600 included 296.0 m of 1.11 g/t AuEQ (0.65 g/t Au, 5.03 g/t Ag, 0.35 % Cu) with an enriched intercept of 102.0 m grading 1.30 g/t AuEQ (0.64 g/t Au, 7.39 g/t Ag, 0.50 % Cu);2

  • Identified a new mineralized area named SC-1 situated in the northern sector of the Goldstorm Deposit, within the CS-600. This recently identified zone boasts higher-grade gold concentrations and comprises three drill holes, with two completed towards the end of the 2023 exploration campaign. The initial drill hole, GS-22-134, yielded promising results in 2022, returned 20.86 g/t AuEQ over 4.5 m within a 25.5 m section of 9.96 AuEQ (9.66 g/t Au, 1.23 g/t Ag, 0.24 % Cu). Drill-hole GS-23-176-W1, completed in 2023 and specifically designed as an offset step-out hole returned 15.64 g/t AuEQ over 15.0 m (14.89 g/t Au, 4.72 g/t Ag, 0.60 % Cu). Additionally, GS-23-179, a northeast step-out hole also completed in 2023 to trace SC-1 up-dip from GS-22-134 and GS-23-176-W1, returned 10.07 g/t AuEQ over 12.0 m (9.78 g/t Au, 1.35 g/t Ag, 0.23 % Cu). Presently, the high-grade gold-bearing breccia stockwork system extends approximately 400 m down plunge and over 300 m along a northeastern axis. The exact width of the mineralized structure remains undetermined at this stage;3

  • Improved the definition and spatial continuity of the Goldstorm porphyry system which is comprised of six separate mineral domains over an area that measures approximately 2,400 m in length, 1,300 m in width and 1,500 m in depth. The Goldstorm Deposit remains open to the south, north, northeast and at depth;

  • Confirmed the existence of PSZ with holes spaced over a distance of 1,500 meters. PS-23-10, the most notable drill hole from this program intersected 102.15 m of 1.28 g/t AuEQ (1.23 g/t Au, 3.43 g/t Ag, 0.01 % Cu) including two enriched zones comprising 42.5 m of 1.87 g/t AuEQ (1.80 g/t Au, 5.76 g/t Ag, 0.02 % Cu), and 25.5 m of 1.60 g/t AuEQ (1.58 g/t Au, 1.81 g/t Ag, 0.01 % Cu). Further downhole a high-grade vein zone was intersected and returned 1.5 m of 24.70 g/t gold. These results are the highest gold grades seen at PSZ to date and they are located between the Goldstorm Deposit, 3 km to the northeast, and Seabridge Gold's Iron-Cap Deposit, 2.5 km to the southwest.4

Results from the Program are expected to be included in the next updated Mineral Resource Estimate on the Goldstorm Deposit, which is anticipated to be released in the first quarter of 2024.

Tudor Gold's objective is to optimize the current Mineral Resource by concentrating on higher grades to increase the overall quality of gold, silver, and copper resources. As a result, the Company is focused on delivering an enhanced Mineral Resource Estimate on the Goldstorm Deposit which will improve the overall prospects of the Treaty Creek Project as it advances towards a Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA).

Cardston, Alberta--(Newsfile Corp. - February 2, 2024) - American Creek Resources Ltd. (TSXV: AMK) ("the Corporation" or "American Creek") is pleased to announce that project operator and JV partner Tudor Gold ("Tudor") has provided an update on the recent identification of a high-grade gold system within the Goldstorm Deposit and a brief overview of the successful expansion of the Goldstorm Domains from the 2023 drill program (the "Program") at the flagship property, Treaty Creek, located in the heart of the Golden Triangle of Northwestern British Columbia.

Ken Konkin, Tudor Gold President and CEO, commented: "We are extremely pleased to announce that we have delineated a high-grade gold system associated with a quartz-dominant veinlet and stringer stockwork system, named Supercell One (SC-1). This represents a significant economic target within the CS-600 domain. Our current Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) caps gold equivalent (AuEQ) grades at 8.0 g/t AuEQ and therefore does not include these higher grades. Our current concept is that the SC-1 system, like the higher-grade R-66 domain, may represent a late-stage gold-dominant event that, in part, over prints the primary mineralization of the Goldstorm Deposit. This is significant, as these smaller, higher-grade systems have the potential to streamline start-up plans, allowing for rapid extraction of gold with the possibility of substantially lower capital expenditures compared to a much larger conceptual bulk tonnage operation.

"Additionally, our technical team has completed the geologic modelling and domain delineation with the incorporation of the 2023 drilling data. Updated mineral domains show significant expansion of the Goldstorm Deposit in several areas. (plan maps and cross sections of the SC-1 and the expanded domains). These maps indicate how the drilling conducted in 2023 has the potential to convert several areas of the deposit from Inferred Mineral Resources to Indicated Mineral Resources. Despite the aggressive exploration and expansion of the Goldstorm Deposit, it remains open in all directions and at depth. The Company is currently in the process of updating the MRE for the Goldstorm Deposit and is expected to release the updated MRE within Q1 of 2024."

Supercell One (SC-1) Characteristics and Intercepts

Minor pyrite and chalcopyrite are observed with fine-grained visible native gold within the newly crowned SC-1 system, which is contained within the CS-600 Domain. Three drill holes are interpreted to have intersected this structural corridor that contains significant quartz-sulphide breccia. Two of the three holes were completed late during the 2023 exploration campaign while the discovery hole, GS-22-134 (20.86 g/t AuEQ over 4.5 m within a 25.5 m zone of 9.96 AuEQ), was completed during the 2022 drilling campaign. Drill hole GS-23-176-W1 (15.64 g/t AuEQ over 15.0 m) was designed as an offset step-out hole to the impressive gold intercept obtained within GS-22-134. With the third drill hole, GS-23-179 (10.07 g/t AuEQ over 12.0 m), a northeast step-out, our technical crews were able to validate the SC-1 system, tracing SC-1 up-dip from GS-22-134 and GS-23-176-W1. To date, the high-grade gold-bearing, breccia stockwork system measures approximately 400 m down plunge and over 300 m along a northeastern axis. The true width of the mineralized structure is currently unknown.

Drill-hole highlights from SC-1 include the following intercepts:

  • GS-22-134: 25.5 m of 9.96 g/t AuEQ (9.66 g/t Au, 1.23 g/t Ag, 0.24 % Cu)
  • GS-23-176-W1: 15.0 m of 15.64 g/t AuEQ (14.89 g/t Au, 4.72 g/t Ag, 0.60 % Cu)
  • GS-23-179: 12.0 m of 10.07 g/t AuEQ (9.78 g/t Au, 1.35 g/t Ag, 0.23 % Cu)

Darren Blaney, American Creek President and CEO, states: "The newly identified Supercell One zone has the potential to become a significant factor given it has around ten times the average grade of the Goldstorm. It already stretches over hundreds of meters and we're eager to see how far beyond it extends. Considerable expansion has taken place on the Goldstorm deposit and based on the exceptional drill results from the 2023 program, we're confident that overall grade is improving as well. We're looking forward to the updated Mineral Resource Estimate that Tudor is working toward (Q1, 2024) as well as the 2024 drill program."
