Raymond, Alberta… American Creek Resources Ltd. (the “Company”) reports that it recently became aware of potential liability related to unexpended flow-through funds raised in 2007.  Under the terms of its December 28, 2007 private placement financing of flow‑through shares, the Company was obligated to incur by December 31, 2008 $4,025,000 of qualifying Canadian exploration expenses for which renunciations have been made. Of this amount approximately $600,000 was expended by December 31, 2008 on such qualifying expenses.

 

The Company is currently working with its professional advisors to determine a reasonable estimate of the extent of the Company’s liability as a result of its failure to expend the full amount by December 31, 2008, as well as a claim against its former legal advisers for advice provided regarding the expenses. An estimate of the potential liability is not available presently as the liability will depend upon a number of factors including the personal tax situation of individual subscribers.

 

American Creek Resources Ltd. is a Canadian junior mineral exploration company focused on the acquisition, exploration and development of mineral deposits within the Province of British Columbia, Canada.
