Raymond, Alberta… American Creek Resources Ltd. (TSX-V: AMK) (“American Creek”) is pleased to announce that it has purchased the Slippery Willow property bordering the Electrum Project near Stewart, British Columbia. American Creek now holds a 100% interest in the property. Under the terms of the purchase agreement, American Creek paid $25,000 cash and issued 120,000 common shares to an arm’s length vendor. The shares are subject to a four month hold period with half of the shares being subject to an additional, consecutive four month hold. The TSX Venture Exchange has approved the transaction.

The Slippery Willow property is located approximately 33 km. north of Stewart, British Columbia and borders American Creek’s Electrum Project on the southeast corner as well as the Tide property on the east (refer to page 2). The property is road accessible via the Granduc haul road and covers approximately 500 hectares. Historic records (not NI43-101 compliant) indicate that grades as high as 0.43 oz/t gold with 112.96 oz/t silver over 2 feet, and 0.44 oz/t gold with 304.51 oz/t silver and 43% lead over 10 inches, were obtained in a small channel sampling program near the claim boundary between the Tide and Slippery Willow properties. American Creek management also believes that several mineralized zones found on the Electrum and Tide properties continue across the claim boundaries onto the Slippery Willow. The property contains an airstrip as well as several ideal locations for constructing an exploration camp for the upcoming 2007 program.

Allan Burton, President and CEO stated: “The Slippery Willow property completes the package. With the recent Tide property agreement, and now this latest acquisition, American Creek now has a stake in all of the ground around our highly prospective Electrum Project. We are eagerly looking forward to the start of the Phase III drill program this spring.”

The Electrum, Tide and Slippery Willow properties are located in the “Golden Triangle” north of Stewart, British Columbia, near past operating mines including the Riverside, Scotty Gold, Granduc, and Silbak-Premier. Barrick’s world-class Eskay Creek gold and silver mine is located approximately 50 km to the north.

American Creek Resources Ltd. is a Canadian mineral exploration company focused on the acquisition, exploration and development of gold and silver deposits, with several projects in the Province of British Columbia, Canada.

A Phase I drill program is currently underway on the Corporation’s Austruck-Bonanza Project located near Kamloops, British Columbia.
