American Creek Resources Reports 90.5m of 1.21 g/t Gold at Treaty Creek, Including 70.5m of 1.47 g/t Gold

10.01.2018  |  Business Wire

American Creek Resources Ltd. (TSX.V: AMK) (the “Corporation”) is pleased to report on results from its 2017 drill program on the Copper Belle zone of the Company’s Treaty Creek property located in B.C.’s Golden Triangle adjacent to Seabridge’s KSM project and Pretivm’s Brucejack mine.

CB-17-12, a step-out hole drilled on the Copper Belle zone, intersected various mineralized zones where the most significant was 90.5m of continuous mineralization grading 1.21 g/tonne gold from 24 to 114.5m depth, including a higher-grade intercept of 70.5m grading 1.47 g/t gold from 31.5 to 102m. Hole CB-17-12 was a 564m hole that was collared adjacent to the west side of Treaty glacier where ice ablation (glacier melt-back) has exposed new opportunities for exploration access. Hole CB 17-12 is 110m south of CB-16-03 that graded 58m from 88 to 146m of 1.11 g/t Au; and 122m from 304 to 426m of 0.97 g/t Au. Hole CB 16-03 was drilled uphill at a higher elevation (see map link).

Drill results for hole CB-17-12 are summarized in the table below:

Hole-ID From (m) To (m) Interval (m)* Au (g/t) Ag (g/t) Cu (%)
CB-17-12 24.00 114.50 90.50 1.21 4.22 0.016
including 31.50 102.00 70.50 1.47 5.26 0.018
147.50 198.50 51.00 0.84 3.44 0.019
206.00 228.50 22.50 1.05 0.66 0.004

*True widths of the mineralization have not been determined.

Darren Blaney, President and CEO, stated: “CB-17-12 shows a continuance of significant mineralization found in the numerous holes released so far. The fact that holes on Copper Belle have excellent results, extend over a one-kilometer range, have continuity between, and are open to the north and south, makes this a very significant system. This is emphasized by the fact that it, along with the high grade GR2/HC zone, are located within the same hydrothermal system as the world class KSM deposits and the Brucejack mine. We look forward to the remaining assays and planned resource calculation(s) on the Treaty Creek project”.

The Copper Belle 2017 resource delineation program comprised 27 drill holes to depths below 700m (an estimated 13,722m) and step-outs of 50m where topography permitted. Results from additional drill holes of the 2017 drill program at Copper Belle are still pending. Drill holes were targeted oblique to the northwesterly plunge of the main mineralized zone. A block of delineated mineralization will form the basis for a preliminary resource estimate. All drill holes were down hole surveyed at 25m stations using a Reflex Multi-shot device.

The Magnetotelluric Geophysical Survey program (MT Survey) completed on the property in 2016 was effectively utilized as a guide for the drill program. The MT Survey suggests that the mineralization continues to the southwest toward the Iron Cap deposit of Seabridge Gold Inc. The MT Survey also suggests that the mineralized zone is open along strike and at depth. Tudor Gold’s 2017 drill program was located just 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 confirms a relationship between the two areas.

Drill hole samples were assayed by Activation Laboratories Ltd. in Kamloops, BC. Analytical accuracy and precision are monitored by the submission of blanks, certified standards and duplicate samples inserted at regular intervals into the sample stream by Tudor Gold personnel. Activation Laboratories quality system complies with the requirements for the International Standards ISO 17025: 2005.

The Qualified Person for the Treaty Creek results in this new release is James A. 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.

Background on the Treaty Creek Project

The Treaty Creek Project is situated immediately north of Seabridge Gold’s KSM property and near Pretium’s Valley of the Kings Mine, both of which are situated in BC’s Golden Triangle along the Sulphurets and Brucejack fault systems that continue northward into the Treaty Creek property.

In 2017 Tudor conducted a major drill program (approximately 20,000 metres) on the Treaty Creek property. The objective of the drill program was to define a gold resource on the Copper Belle zone and to determine the future potential of the high-grade gold/silver/zinc GR2 zone located in a separate area adjacent to the Copper Belle.

Seabridge Gold’s proposed development plan for their KSM Project includes an access tunnel system through the Treaty Creek property as a key component. The approximate trajectory of the tunnels can be found on the drill map link above.

The Treaty Creek Project is a joint venture between Tudor, Teuton Resources Corp., and American Creek. Tudor is the operator and holds a 60% interest with both American Creek and Teuton each holding respective 20% carried interests in the property (American Creek and Teuton are not required to contribute to their proportionate costs until a production notice is given).
