Raymond, Alberta… American Creek Resources Ltd. (TSX-V:AMK) is pleased to announce that it has now satisfied the funding condition pursuant to the Tide Property Option Agreement with Rimfire Minerals Corporation (“Rimfire”) for the 2007 exploration program by providing Rimfire with the sum of $512,046.06. Under the terms of the agreement, American Creek has the right to earn a 51% interest in the Tide Project by spending $512,046.06 on exploration by the end of 2007, at which time American Creek will also become the project operator. Rimfire will hold the remaining 49% interest, and Serengeti Resources Inc. will retain a 1% NSR on American Creek’s interest.
The Tide Project is located approximately 36 km. north of Stewart, British Columbia. The property consists of the Tide 1 – 4 Claims (29.6 sq. km.) and borders American Creek’s Electrum Project on four sides. Previous work on the Tide property resulted in the discovery of several high-grade gold and silver showings including the 52 Zone, which produced local bonanza-grade vein samples grading up to 593 g/t gold and 14,708 g/t silver. Recent work on the property has focused on a bulk-tonnage gold target at the 36 Zone, where drilling in 2004 and 2005 intersected wide intervals of gold mineralization including 129.4 metres averaging 1.0 g/t gold. The Tide Project is road-accessible via the Granduc haul road and is strategically located approximately 36 km from concentrate-loading port facilities at Stewart. A copy of the recently completed NI 43-101 Summary Report on the Tide Project dated November 15, 2006 has been filed on SEDAR and may be viewed at www.sedar.com.
