CALGARY, Alberta--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- American Creek Resources Ltd. (TSX-V:AMK) (“the Corporation”) is pleased to announce that an exploration program has commenced on the Corporation’s Dunwell Mine group of properties (“Dunwell property”) located in the “Golden Triangle” 7 km northeast of Stewart, BC.

The objectives of the program include locating adits and other historic workings and planning hole locations for a Phase 1 drill program.

The 1,528 hectare Dunwell property includes the past producing high-grade Dunwell Gold Mine which from 1926-1941 produced 45,657 tonnes averaging 6.63 g/t gold, 223.91 g/t silver, 1.83 % lead, 4.01% zinc and .056% copper.

In addition to the Dunwell Mine, there are in excess of 15 other high-grade gold/silver showings located on the property including the Ben Ali (produced 4,500 tons of 21.6 g/t gold), the Tyee (produced 8.2 tonnes of 124.4 g/t gold with 4,478.8 g/t silver), the George E. (produced 12 tons of 13.0 g/t gold with 3,250.0 g/t silver and 23.3% lead) and several others with past production of high-grade gold, silver and base metals.

The Dunwell property is located in the richest portion of the Portland Canal Fissure Zone between the past producing Silbak-Premier gold mine (8km northwest) and the past producing Porter Idaho silver mine (10km south). IDM’s Red Mountain project (at feasibility stage) is located approximately 11km to the east.

Like the past producing Silbak-Premier and Porter Idaho mines that are now in the process of being put back into production in the near future, the Corporation believes that there is also potential to prove up more high-grade gold and silver reserves at the past producing Dunwell Mine along strike and below the level 4 workings.

Darren Blaney, CEO of American Creek, stated the following: “We are excited to have begun work on the recently acquired and amalgamated Dunwell Mine group. Even at this early stage of field work we have already located several high-grade vein systems both on surface and underground. Planning for upcoming drilling, including fine-tuning drill targets, is already underway.

The four recent strategic property deals and subsequent property amalgamation making up the Dunwell project were the culmination of many years of anticipating being able to acquire this strategic and highly prospective ground. It is satisfying to see it all coming together.”

The Dunwell Mine group of properties is an amalgamation of four recent strategic acquisitions of adjoining properties. The amalgamated property package represents the first time in many years that these prospective properties will be under single ownership. The project is 100% owned by the Corporation.

CALGARY, Alberta--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- American Creek Resources Ltd. (TSX-V:AMK) (“American Creek”) (“the Corporation”) is very pleased to announce that JV partner and operator Tudor Gold Corp. (“Tudor”) has released results for the first four holes drilled on the Copper Belle zone at the Treaty Creek Project located in BC’s “Golden Triangle” immediately north of, and in the same hydrothermal system as, Seabridge Gold’s KSM project and Pretivm’s Brucejack project.

Tudor reported the following:

Tudor Gold Extends Gold Zone at Treaty Creek to Over One Kilometer

Tudor Gold Corp. (TSX.V: TUD) (Frankfurt: TUC) (the “Company” or “Tudor Gold”) is pleased to report on the results of the first four holes of the Copper Belle zone and on the completion of the resource delineation program for the Copper Belle zone of the Treaty Creek property.

The Copper Belle resource delineation drill program was completed with 27 holes to depths below 700 meters and with step outs of 50 meters where it was possible. Over 13,722 meters of drilling was completed in the Copper Belle zone in 2017.

CB-17-04, the first step-out hole drilled this year on the Copper Belle zone, intersected 176.2 meters of continuous mineralization which returned 0.80 g/T Au from 152.1 to 328.5 meters depth. Hole CB-17-04 was collared 40 meters north of CB-16-03 where topography permitted. Complete results are pending for the remaining 23 holes.

Drill results for the first four Copper Belle holes at Treaty Creek are summarized in the table below:

Results from subsequent drill holes from the 2017 drill program at Copper Belle are still pending. Drill holes targeted the mineralized zone on Copper Belle and all holes to date have intersected long intervals of mineralization to depth. Drill holes were targeted oblique to the northwesterly plunge of the main mineralized zone. The drill program was designed for approximately 50 meter step-outs across the mineralized zone to create a block of delineated mineralization for a preliminary resource estimate. All drill holes were down hole surveyed at 25 m stations using a Reflex Multi-shot device.

The Copper Belle resource estimate will use data from 27 holes from 2017, three holes from 2016, 17 holes from 2009 and 10 holes from 2007, for a total of 22,970 meters drilled. These drill holes cover an area of approximately 250 meters wide by a kilometer long. Copper Belle zone mineralization is open in all directions and to depth.

The HC drill program consisted of 17 drill holes totalling 5,401 meters that tested the mineralized strata-bound structure for a strike length of 400 meters and 400 meters down dip (still open at depth), and the vein system remains open to the north, south and at depth. The program was designed with a maximum of 50 meter step-outs in the mineralized zone to prepare for a preliminary resource estimate in this area. Assay results are pending for the remaining holes.

The Company is very pleased to report that the magnetotelluric geophysical survey program (“MT Survey”) that was implemented in 2016 has been effectively utilized as a guide for the 2017 drill program. The MT Survey suggests that the mineralization continues to the south, toward the Iron Cap deposit of Seabridge Gold Inc. The MT Survey also suggests that the mineralized zone continues in all directions. Tudor Gold’s 2017 drill program is located five kilometers north of the Iron Cap deposit and the Company intends to step out to the south in its 2018 program to see if it can determine a relationship between the two areas.

Walter Storm, President and CEO, stated: “We are very pleased with these early drill results at Copper Belle because they demonstrate both grade, continuity and the immense size of this pervasively mineralized system. Two major faults control the mineralization which strikes southwest-northeast and dips to the northwest. Our exploration team is effectively following the mineralization using 50 meter step-outs, which will help ensure we have the data density for our planned mineral resource estimates.”

The Qualified Person for the Treaty Creek results in this news release is James McCrea, P.Geo. for the purposes of National Instrument 43-101. He has read and approved the scientific and technical information that forms the basis for the disclosure contained in this news release.

Darren Blaney, CEO of American Creek, stated the following in response to the Tudor news: “These first holes from Tudor’s Copper Belle resources estimate drill program look very promising. Of significance is hole CB-17-07 which intersected a 369 meter interval of gold mineralization which included a 43.5 meter interval of 1.81 g/t gold with 11.88 g/t silver and 0.142 % copper. This early discovery of higher grade gold with associated copper within the porphyry system is very encouraging.”
