Raymond, Alberta - American Creek Resources Ltd. (TSX Venture:AMK) is pleased to release the results of the Electrum Project Phase II diamond drilling program completed in November, 2006. Highlights of the program include 16.86 g/t gold over 1.0 metre; 7.15 g/t gold with 123.0 g/t silver and 0.41% zinc over 0.62 metres; and 440.78 g/t gold with 400.0 g/t silver and 0.33% zinc over 0.52 metres. Wide intersections of lower grade gold were also encountered.

An aggregate total of 1,753.28 metres of BQ2 diamond drilling was completed in 10 holes as part of the Phase II program. Targeting for Phase II drilling was based on results from Phase I drilling as well as results of the summer exploration program including soil geochemistry, surface sampling, induced polarization geophysical survey, and geological mapping (see news release dated October 18, 2006). Drilling to date has tested the northwest to southeast trending lithologies over a strike length of approximately 400 metres. The Phase II drilling has further defined structures that may be important hosts for mineralization.

Drill core logging and splitting took place at American Creek’s secure facility in Stewart, British Columbia. The core samples were sent to ACME Analytical Laboratories Ltd. in Vancouver, B.C. for assay.

Significant intersections from the program are included in the table below:

Drill hole EL06-18 returned the highest values for gold and silver (440.78 g/t and 400.0 g/t respectively) from sample interval 72.57 to 73.09. Observations made of the core from this interval indicate that the mineral electrum was present in visible quantities. Electrum is a gold and silver bearing mineral.

Allan Burton, President and CEO stated: “We are extremely encouraged by the results thus far on the Electrum Project. Along with high-grade intersections, we are also seeing widespread gold and silver throughout the system. We are looking forward to spring 2007 when a significantly larger program will commence.”

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.
