Raymond, Alberta. American Creek Resources Ltd. (TSX-V:AMK) and Serengeti Resources Inc. (TSX-V:SIR) are pleased to announce that they have signed a binding Letter of Intent (“LOI”) under which American Creek will purchase Serengeti’s right to earn a 51% interest in the Tide Project from Rimfire Minerals Corporation. Upon completion of the earn-in, Rimfire will hold the remaining 49% interest, and Serengeti will retain a 1% NSR on American Creek’s interest.
Pursuant to the LOI, American Creek will pay $75,000 and issue 354,000 of its common shares to Serengeti, and will assume Serengeti’s responsibilities under an agreement dated November 20, 2003, between Serengeti and Rimfire, including a $40,000 cash payment to Rimfire. In addition, American Creek will expend an aggregate of approximately $585,000 on the Tide Project by the end of 2007, including a repayment to Serengeti of up to $100,000 for the fall 2006 exploration program conducted and funded by Serengeti. Serengeti’s remaining obligations are to issue 75,000 of its common shares to Rimfire and 25,000 of its common shares to an underlying vendor. This transaction is expected to close October 27, 2006 and is subject to regulatory approval and a review by American Creek of the underlying property agreements.
