Raymond, Alberta. American Creek Resources Ltd. (TSX Venture: AMK) is pleased to announce that the 2007 Electrum Project Phase III drilling program has commenced.
A total of up to 20,000 meters of diamond drilling is planned with targeting based on results from the 2006 program and from ongoing soil geochemistry, surface sampling, blast trenching, geophysical surveying, and geological mapping. Two drills are working on the property now.
Highlights of the 2006 drill program included 16.86 g/t gold over 1.0 meter; 7.15 g/t gold with 123.0 g/t silver and 0.41% zinc over 0.62 meters; and 440.78 g/t gold with 400.0 g/t silver and 0.33% zinc over 0.52 meters. Wide intersections of lower grade gold were also encountered.
Drill core logging and sampling will take place at the project and at American Creek’s facility in Stewart, British Columbia. The core samples will be processed at Eco Tech Laboratory’s sample preparation facility in Stewart and then sent to Eco Tech’s main facility in Kamloops, British Columbia for assay.
Allan Burton, President and CEO stated: “We have been eagerly anticipating getting back on the Electrum and are looking forward to this much larger 2007 program.”
The Electrum Project is located in the “Golden Triangle” approximately 45km north of Stewart, British Columbia, near past operating mines including the Riverside, Scotty Gold, Granduc, and Silbak-Premier. The Electrum encompasses the historic East Gold mine. Barrick’s world-class Eskay Creek mine is located approximately 50km north of the project. The Electrum is road accessible and is only 45km from concentrate shipping port facilities located in Stewart.
