AMK Office 2

May 3, 2007

Raymond, Alberta. American Creek Resources Ltd. (the "Corporation") (TSX Venture: AMK) is pleased to provide an exploration update for several of the Corporation’s projects located near Kamloops, British Columbia, Canada.  

Austruck-Bonanza Project

A total of 18 BTW diamond drill holes totaling 3,895.5 meters have been drilled thus far in the initial Austruck-Bonanza program located north of Kamloops. Core logging and sampling took place at American Creek’s facility in Kamloops and all samples were sent to Eco-Tech Laboratory Ltd. in Kamloops for assay. The highest gold values returned to date were from holes 07Bon-01 and 07Bon-02 containing .98 g/t gold with 14.3 g/t silver over 1 meter and 1.52 g/t gold with 15.9 g/t silver over .99 meters respectively (see news release dated March 5, 2007). Results have now been received for the balance of the 18 holes (5 through 18) in which there were no significant results. The Corporation is awaiting permits to expand the program to other areas of interest within the claim group. The Austruck-Bonanza property covers an area of volcanic and sedimentary rocks that have been intruded by dykes and stocks of diorite. Hydrothermal alterations along the margins of the diorite have the potential to host precious metal vein deposits, similar to the Bonaparte mine. As well, the intrusive rocks are similar to those that host the Afton copper-gold porphyry deposit located near Kamloops.

Empire Project

A total of 9 BTW diamond drill holes totaling 1,785 meters have been completed to date on the Empire Project located north of Kamloops. Core logging and sampling has been ongoing at the Corporation’s facility with samples being delivered to Eco-Tech Laboratory Ltd. for assay. American Creek has received assay results for holes 1-4. The drilling intersected volcanic and sedimentary rocks that have been variably altered and contain up to 15% pyrite with zones of pyrrhotite enrichment. The volcanic/sedimentary sequence has been intruded by various bodies of ultramafic pyroxinite to less mafic diorite and granite. Fine mudstone sequences contain abundant pyrite as laminations along bedding and fine cross cutting stringers. Results to date indicate that low to moderate gold values are associated with the sediments, diorite intrusive and later quartz and carbonate veining. Drill hole 07Emp-02 returned the highest gold assay of 1.58 g/t over a 2 metre width from altered sediment (skarn) with minor pyrite disseminate and veining. A narrow (0.5 metre) quartz vein sampled in hole 07Emp-04 contains galena and sphalerite and returned an assay of 0.25 g/t gold with 16.4 g/t silver and elevated lead and zinc. The remainder of holes 2 and 4 as well as holes 1 and 3 contained no significant results. Logging, sampling and analysis of drill holes 07Emp-05 through 09 is presently underway.

The Empire property also contains a number of historic workings. A distinct magnetic linear feature found in the O’Conner Lake area extends north through one of these workings that includes 4 underground drifts and a 25 meter long adit. Inspection of these workings indicate that they follow sediment hosted mineralized quartz veins. Mineralization includes coarse galena, coarse arsenopyrite, pyrite and chalcopyrite. The Corporation has applied for expanded permitting to begin drilling this recently discovered area of interest.

Goldmist Project

Results of the Geoscience BC geophysical airborne survey that was recently made public showed a very prominent, large (2 x 3 km) anomaly consisting of a strong magnetic high associated with a potassium low on the Corporation’s Goldmist Project located north of Kamloops. Historic records along with recent preliminary prospecting by American Creek, has confirmed the presence of quartz veins (some of which contain gold) on surface in several locations within this anomaly. Further exploration is currently being planned and will be announced at a future date.

White Slide and Legacy Projects

The upcoming airborne geophysical surveys previously announced are expected to be flown around the end of May. Further exploration plans will be based on analysis of the survey results.

American Creek is now one of the largest mineral claim holders in the Kamloops mining camp with properties covering in excess of 600 square kilometers. The Corporation plans to continue and expand ground-based exploration in the area. Work is to include VLF-Em and Magnetometer surveying, Induced Polarization surveying, soil and rock geochemical sampling, and geologic mapping. Target areas are currently being assessed utilizing the previously flown Fugro airborne survey results, as well as the results from the recently released provincial and federal government airborne survey, and all available recorded historic documentation of previous work completed within the claims. The Corporation’s recently procured Geographic Information Systems (GIS) specialist will assist in producing comprehensive maps to be utilized in drill target definition.

An interesting development affecting the Kamloops area projects is the widespread pine beetle infestation that has occurred over the last few years. Plans are underway for major salvage logging operations in the area which will greatly benefit American Creek as new areas become more accessible with new haul roads and skid trails being excavated. With each new access road comes the potential for exposing and discovering new mineralized zones. Also, new beetle related tax incentives just introduced by the BC government will aid in attracting exploration capital to projects within those areas affected.

American Creek has now purchased a total of five diamond drills (one used and four new) as well as the related drill bits, core barrels and tubes, drill rod, etc. in order to ensure that the Corporation’s multiple 2007 drill programs are successfully completed. In addition to the five drills owned by American Creek, two additional drills along with crews have been contracted for the upcoming Electrum program near Stewart, British Columbia.
