American Creek's JV Partner Tudor Gold Expands High-grade Gold Target; Intersects 9.60 G/t Gold Equivalent (AuEQ) over 13.5 Meters Within Supercell - 1C (SC-1C) in a 140m Step-Out Drill Hole at Treaty Creek, Golden Triangle, British Columbia

By: Newsfile

Cardston, Alberta--(Newsfile Corp. - September 11, 2024) - American Creek Resources Ltd. (TSXV: AMK) ("the Corporation" or "American Creek") is pleased to announce that project operator and JV partner Tudor Gold ("Tudor") has produced the results from the fifth hole completed from the 2024 exploration drilling program (the "Program") at the flagship property, Treaty Creek, located in the heart of the Golden Triangle of Northwestern British Columbia. The 2024 Program has recently been safely completed, totaling 10,530 meters (m) with all crews and drilling equipment demobilized from site.

The Supercell-One Zone (SC-1) was identified earlier this year to represent a significant potential economic target that is within, and peripheral to, the CS-600 Domain (see press releases dated February 2 and May 10). The Supercell-One system has greatly expanded with the discovery of two additional sub-parallel (SC-1A and SC-1B) hydrothermal gold-bearing quartz micro-breccia systems above the original SC-1, now labeled as SC-1C. This reported intercept of high-grade gold mineralization within drill hole GS-24-185 expands the size of SC-1C greatly by stepping out from previous drilling intercepts by 255 m up-dip and 140 m along strike. The gold-rich SC-1 system occurs within an area measuring up to 800 m in length by 400 m in depth. All three sub-parallel structures remain open in all directions and to depth. Assays remain pending on an additional intercept of CS-600 Domain in the lower section of GS-24-185.

SC-1C Drilling Highlights (2024):

Hole GS-24-185 intersected a high-grade interval of the Supercell-One System

  • SC-1C; 9.60 g/t AuEQ over 13.50 m (9.58 g/t Au, 0.44 g/t Ag, 0.01% Cu)

Ken Konkin, Tudor Gold President and CEO, comments: "We are very pleased with this newest high-grade result in the planned 140 m northerly step-out from GS-24-184, which intersected 8.09 g/t AuEQ over 6.15 m and a 250 m easterly step-out from GS-24-181, which intersected 5.31g/t AuEQ over 6.00 m (results from news release August 14, 2024). As we continue to expand these systems of high-grade structures farther to the northeast, the gold grades, and the size of the system, are increasing. We are now focusing efforts on examining previous drill intercepts that carry similar high-grade gold values to determine how far the Supercells may have pierced the nucleus of the Goldstorm Domains. Our goal is to define the 'vascular system' of the Supercells as they may be entwined within the heart of the CS-600 Domain, and to continue to trace the extent of these systems in all directions. Although drilling has been completed for this season, results from the final three holes are pending. We believe that the discovery of numerous high-grade gold-bearing structures confirms the presence of a large hydrothermal gold-dominant, late-stage, over-printed system that will give the project a major economic advantage."

Drilling Discussion

Section B

  • GS-24-185: This hole was drilled to step out 140 m from previously drilled SC-1C mineralization, as well as infilling CS-600 mineralization at depth. The hole intersected 13.50 m grading 9.60 g/t AuEQ (9.58 g/t Au, 0.44 g/t Ag, 0.01% Cu) as part of the network of subparallel brecciated Supercell-One complex of structures. This hole also intersected mineralization typical of the CS-600 domain, and assays that remain pending for this intercept will be released in the near future.

  • All assay values are uncut and intervals reflect drilled intercept lengths.
  • HQ and NQ2 diameter core samples were sawn in half and typically sampled at standard 1.5 m intervals.
  • The following metal prices were used to calculate the Au Eq metal content: Gold $1850/oz, Ag: $21/oz, Cu: $3.75/lb. Calculations used the formula AuEQ = Au g/t + (Ag g/t*0.0100901) + (Cu ppm*0.0001236). All metals are reported in USD and calculations consider recoveries of 90 % for gold, 80 % for copper, and 80 % for silver.
  • True widths have not been determined as the mineralized body remains open in all directions. Further drilling is required to determine the mineralized body orientation and true widths.

About Treaty Creek

The Treaty Creek Project hosts the Goldstorm Deposit, comprising a large gold-copper porphyry system, as well as several other mineralized zones. As disclosed in the "NI-43-101 Technical Report for the Treaty Creek Project", dated April 5, 2024 prepared by Garth Kirkham Geosystems and JDS Energy & Mining Inc., the Goldstorm Deposit has an Indicated Mineral Resource of 27.87 million ounces (Moz) of AuEQ grading 1.19 g/t AuEQ (21.66 Moz gold grading 0.92 g/t, 2.87 billion pounds (Blbs) copper grading 0.18%, 128.73 Moz silver grading 5.48 g/t) and an Inferred Mineral Resource of 6.03 Moz of AuEQ grading 1.25 g/t AuEQ (4.88 Moz gold grading 1.01 g/t, 503.2 Mlb copper grading 0.15%, 28.97 Moz silver grading 6.02 g/t), with a pit constrained cut-off of 0.7 g/t AuEQ and an underground cut-off of 0.75 g/t AuEQ.

The Goldstorm Deposit has been categorized into three dominant mineral domains and several smaller mineral domains. The CS-600 domain largely consists of nested pulses of diorite intrusive stocks and hosts the majority of the copper mineralization within the Goldstorm Deposit. CS-600 has an Indicated Mineral Resource of 15.65 Moz AuEQ grading 1.22 g/t AuEQ (9.99 Moz gold grading 0.78 g/t, 2.73 Blbs copper grading 0.31%, 73.47 Moz silver grading 5.71 g/t) and an Inferred Mineral Resource of 2.86 Moz AuEQ grading 1.20 g/t AuEQ (1.87 Moz gold grading 0.79 g/t, 475.6 Mlb copper grading 0.29%, 13.4 Moz silver grading 5.63 g/t). The Goldstorm Deposit remains open in all directions and requires further exploration drilling to determine the size and extent of the Deposit.

Treaty Creek JV Partnership

American Creek is a proud partner in the Treaty Creek Project.

The project is a Joint Venture with Tudor Gold owning 3/5th and acting as operator. American Creek and Teuton Resources each have a 1/5th interest in the project creating a 3:1 ownership relationship between Tudor Gold and American Creek.
