February 19, 2009 TSX-V: AMK

Raymond, Alberta… American Creek Resources Ltd. (the “Corporation”) today reported that the Preliminary Economic Assessment (the “Report”) released January 8, 2009 by Seabridge Gold Inc. (“Seabridge”) (TSX: SEA) indicates that Seabridge proposes to construct a 21.5 km underground tunnel to transport ore by conveyor from its KSM deposit to a mill and tailings pond to be constructed northeast of American Creek’s Treaty Creek Project located in northern British Columbia. American Creek reports that approximately 13 km of the proposed tunnel extends through the heart of its property, intersecting multiple mineralized zones.

Seabridge has recently initiated informal discussions regarding access. The Corporation confirms that Seabridge currently has no legal interest in the Treaty Creek claims and that American Creek has not granted Seabridge access to tunnel through the claims. The Corporation further confirms that access would be granted only on terms maximizing value to American Creek’s shareholders including compensation for the full value of the mineral deposits located within the proposed tunnel route.

The Treaty Creek Project is located directly north of and adjacent to the KSM project held by Seabridge and appears to form part of the same highly mineralized trend line. The KSM deposits contain a resource of over 34 million ounces gold and over 8 billion pounds copper making it one of the largest undeveloped gold/copper deposits in the world.

American Creek has completed 5,470 meters of drilling on the Treaty Creek Project. Exploration to date has focused on two main zones: the Copper Belle and the GR2. These promising new discoveries are both located within the proposed tunnel area.

Copper Belle Zone

The Copper Belle zone is characterized by a gold-molybdenum porphyry style of mineralization. Grab and chip sample highlights include 11.3 g/t gold with 60.0 g/t silver; 4.8 g/t gold with 1,670 g/t silver and 2.75% copper; 3.2 g/t gold with 257.0 g/t silver along with 3.07% copper; and 2.3 g/t gold with 629.0 g/t silver and 4.1% copper.

Drill intersection highlights include a 76.07 meter intersection of 0.93 g/t gold along with 8.78 g/t silver; a 46.23 meter intersection of 0.83 g/t gold along with 6.39 g/t silver; a 17.00 meter interval of 4.33 g/t gold with 2.00 g/t silver, a 65.00 meter interval of 0.81 g/t gold with 3.80 g/t silver, and a 30.18 meter interval with 1.32 g/t gold and 5.93 g/t silver. Additional significant intervals are as follows:
 

GR2 Zone

The GR2 zone has a Volcanogenic Massive Sulphide (VMS) style of mineralization, with similar characteristics to the Eskay Creek deposit located 30 kilometers to the northwest.
 

Drill intersection highlights include 6.80 meters of 1.40 g/t gold with 93.95 g/t silver, 0.27% copper, 4.41% lead and 2.59% zinc as well as a 1.27 meter interval of 0.63 g/t gold with 340.0 g/t silver, 0.10% copper, 4.61% lead and 4.26% zinc. Additional significant intercepts are presented below:
 

In March, 2007, American Creek Resources entered into an option agreement with Teuton Resources Corp. (TSX-V: TUO) for the controlling interest in the Treaty Creek property. American Creek was granted the right to earn a 51% interest by spending $5 million on exploration over a period of three years. The Corporation is currently ahead of schedule, having spent approximately $4.15 million to date. The remaining $850,000 in exploration expenditures must be completed by March of 2010. In addition, a further 9% interest (bringing the total interest to 60%) may be earned by funding a positive feasibility study. American Creek is the operator of the project. The Corporation will complete the 51% earn-in by conducting a $1,000,000 drill program this summer.
 

Allan Burton, President and CEO stated: “The Treaty Creek property has the potential to host a world-class deposit on its own. We’re also sitting next to a $50 billion resource and all indications are that the ore must be transported through our property. The incredible expansion of the mineral deposits in the KSM combined with American Creek’s right to grant access should have a significant, positive impact on the valuation of our company.”
 

Given the geological potential of the Treaty Creek Project and Seabridge’s requirement for access through the property, the Corporation believes that its shares are currently undervalued.
