American Creek’s JV Partner Tudor Gold Drills Near-Surface Intercept at Treaty Creek Property Averaging 2.120 gpt AuEq over 348 Meters Within a 930 Meters Intercept Averaging 1.161 gpt AuEq in Hole GS-20-65

  • Step-out drilling further extends the goldstorm system by another 150m to the northeast with hole GS-20-64 intersecting 1.482 gpt AuEq over 154.5 meters within 550.55 meters intercept averaging 0.983 gpt AuEq

Cardston, Alberta–(Newsfile Corp. – July 27, 2020) – American Creek Resources Ltd. (TSXV: AMK) (“the Corporation”) is pleased to report that its JV partner Tudor Gold Corp announced today that it has completed the second set of diamond drill holes at the JV flagship property, Treaty Creek located in the heart of the Golden Triangle of Northwestern British Columbia. Diamond drilling is progressing very well on the Goldstorm Zone which is on-trend from Seabridges’ KSM Project located five kilometers southwest of our Goldstorm System. As well, three more drills have been mobilized to the project. This brings the total to five diamond drill rigs working at Treaty Creek. A sixth diamond drill is expected to arrive shortly at Treaty Creek. Tudor Gold intends to double the diamond drill hole program from the original plan of 20,000 meters to at least 40,000 meters of drilling for 2020. Tudor Gold is fully funded to complete this aggressive drill hole program. The preliminary drilling this season has yet to delineate the limits of the Goldstorm system as it remains open in all directions and to depth. It will require all six drills to complete the drilling required for the completing the exploration program for the Goldstorm Au-Cu-Ag System.

Tudor Gold’s Vice President of Project Development, Ken Konkin, P.Geo., states: “For the second time this month, we are very pleased to have bettered the results obtained earlier from GS-20-57 which has an enriched interval that averages 1.40 gpt AuEq over 217.5 meters (544.5 to 762.0 meters) within an overall composite average of 0.845 gpt AuEq over 973.05m (34.50 to 1077.55 meters). Hole GS-20-65 was designed as a 100-meter undercut to drill hole GS-20-57. The result was a remarkable 348 meter intercept of 2.120 gpt AuEq within a larger 930 meter intercept of 1.161 gpt AuEq in drill hole GS-20-65. More drilling will be required in this central region in order to better define these higher-grade metal plumes that we believe occur throughout the Goldstorm System. There were three results over 15.0 gpt Au that occurred within GS-20-65. These include: 19.7 gpt Au over 1.5m (145.5 to 147.0 meters), 22.5 gpt Au over 1.5m (310.5 to 312.0 meters) and 34.2 gpt Au over 1.0 meter (921.0 to 922.0 meters). The focus for the rest of this summer will be to complete the exploration drilling to the limits of the known mineralization along the north-eastern axis. We have begun drilling on Pad 8 which is a 150 meter north-easterly step out from hole GS-20-47, which was the best intercept generated in 2019 where we obtained an intercept of 0.697 gpt AuEq over 1081.5 meters. That hole stopped in mineralization as it was the limit of the drill’s capacity. This year all six drills have modified heads to complete drill holes in excess of 1,800 meter depths. However, we anticipate that our longest holes for 2020 will be approximately 1,400 meters long.”

Konkin adds, “One of the most impressive aspects of the Goldstorm System is the consistent strength of the mineralization. Drill hole GS-20-64 was a steep-angled 150m step-out hole drilled to the northeast beyond the trace of the DS-5 intercept. This exploration hole targeted the extension of a very robust stockwork system that was intersected at the bottom of drill hole GS-19-47, 0.996 gpt AuEq over 243 meters (933.5 to 1176.5 meters). The intercept ended in mineralization at 1199m. The same DS-5 zone was intersected in GS-20-64 that doubled the intercept length from 243 meters to over 550 meters averaging 0.983 gpt AuEq (648.4 to 1198.95 meters) which is extremely consistent with the results obtained in GS-19-47. An enriched, upper portion of the stockwork system yielded 1.482 gpt AuEq over 154.5 meters (771.5 to 926.0 meters). We are currently re-drilling drill hole GS-19-47 as the system may be much larger than originally thought given the results obtained from the 150m northeast step out hole GS-20-64. The target is to drill through the entire stockwork profile that was discovered in 2019.”

The two tables below provide the complete list of drill hole results as well as the drill hole data including hole location, elevation, depth, dip and azimuth. The Section 110+00 NW and 115+50 NE are included at the bottom of the news release and on the Company’s website. These sections show the new drill holes plotted on their respective sections.

  • 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 1.5m intervals
  • The following metal prices were used to calculate the Au Eq metal content: Gold $1322/oz, Ag: $15.91/oz, Cu: $2.86/lb. Calculations used the formula Au Eq g/t = (Au g/t) + (Ag g/t x 0.012) + (Cu% x 1.4835). All metals are reported in USD and calculations do not consider metal recoveries. 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.

Walter Storm, President and CEO, stated: “Our technical team continues to explore several fronts of the target while obtaining excellent results and we continue significantly expand the size of Goldstorm system. The northeast-trending axis of the mineralized body of Goldstorm now exceeds a kilometre in length and we have yet to find the limit of the mineralization to the northeast and to depth. It was necessary to intensify our efforts by doubling our program to 40,000 meters and utilizing more drill rigs. We are very happy to announce the approval of our new work permit that allows us to expand drilling at Goldstorm as well as drill other zones. Tudor Gold’s construction crews are planning on building a lower drill camp that will add several months to the exploration season. We are now able to build operational trails to gain over-land access to the zones from the current camp and from the proposed lower camp at the toe of Treaty Glacier.”

Tudor Gold Corp and our associated service companies have taken extreme measures to maintain the highest professional standards while working within COVID-19 health and safety protocols. Only essential personnel are permitted to enter the camp and staging areas. Of those who are at the project site and staging site, we have strict daily monitoring of the workers’ temperatures and general health conditions. We have a certified paramedic at the staging area to examine all in-coming and out-going Tudor personnel and all service providers.

QA/QC

Drill core samples were prepared at MSA Labs’ Preparation Laboratory in Terrace, BC and assayed at MSA Labs’ Geochemical Laboratory in Langley, 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. MSA Laboratories quality system complies with the requirements for the International Standards ISO 17025 and ISO 9001. MSA Labs is independent of the Company.

TRANSLATED ARTICLE: 

Tudor Gold Starts Powerful Drill Program With 22.5 To 32.1 Million Ounces Of Gold Eq Target ++ Billionaire Eric Sprott Invests Another CAD 2.9 Million! 

The exploration pearl Tudor Gold Corp. (Ticker Canada: TUD, WKN: A2AJ7Y) we presented you in detail several times last year. Many of our readers can already look forward to exceptional price gains in their securities accounts, since the share has exploded from CAD 0.24 in 2019 to CAD 1.07 in the meantime! A gain of 345%. But that’s not all – we are convinced that Tudor Gold still has very high price potential.  

Smart investors are now positioning themselves again at the perfect time – why? We have examined the latest company reports in more detail for you and summarized our assessment:  

TOP NEWS 1:  

Tudor Gold announced on May 11th (see link here) that the powerful drilling program has started on the flagship Project ‘Treaty Creek’ in BC’s Golden Triangle! The world-class explorer plans to drill a total of 20,000 meters there in the next few months. This means that this year’s drilling program is more than twice as large as last year when 9,781 meters were drilled in 14 holes.  

TOP NEWS 2:  

100% hit rate for the 2019 drilling program – all 14 holes have hit gold-bearing mineralization! Chapeau to the management team around the experienced CEO Walter Storm, who, as a co-founder of Osisko Mining (market capitalization then rose from under 10 million to over 4.5 billion CAD), had a real golden hand in exploration in Canada!  

TOP NEWS 3:  

The legendary star investor Eric Sprott has massively expanded his strategic stake in Tudor Gold! The billionaire announced on May 15, 20 that he had exercised two purchase warrants ahead of time and has thus transferred CAD 2.9 million to Tudor. (Read the German press release here: LINK) The smart Eric Sprott knows exactly how to make a lot of money in the raw materials sector! This further investment is a special seal of approval and strong proof of trust in the world-class Explorer Tudor Gold!!! Follow the ‘smart money’ and be there when Tudor Gold writes exploration history!  

TOP NEWS 4:  

Tudor Gold is one of the few exploration companies that are sufficiently funded to run such a mega exploration program! So there will be a lot of news flow in the next few months, which should cause extreme (positive) share price fantasy!  

TOP NEWS 5:  

The exploration team around Tudor Gold’s award-winning star geologist and VP Project Development, Ken Konkin , has even managed to start drilling four weeks earlier! This is top news, because the publication of the first drilling results can now be expected much earlier! Ken Konkin was instrumental in the discovery of Pretium Resources’ The Valley of Kings deposit. The very experienced Ken Konkin knows exactly what he is doing – we are expecting another successful exploration program this year!  

TOP NEWS 6:  

The company has big plans: On April 22, 20, Tudor announced that the metallurgical test work and preliminary basic studies on ‘Treaty Creek’ have started. For us, this is a strong sign that Tudor will continue to develop the project until it is ready for production after the release of a first resource (towards the end of this year?)! You can read the German press release here:  

LINK TOP NEWS 7:  

The gold price marked a new multi-year high of $ 1,765 in May and is still in a long-term cyclical uptrend. Many experts expect the nominal all-time high of around USD 1,920 to be exceeded in the next few months.  

In April, the renowned American Bank of America made a forecast that gold could rise to up to USD 3,000 per troy ounce within 18 months! One of the reasons for the gold price rise is the launch of global economic stimulus programs and the massive expansion of money supply by the major central banks. It is estimated that the staggering $ 10 trillion in new money will be printed or launched on government programs.  

These measures are designed to avert a severe recession / depression triggered by COVID-19. It is expected that we will see rapidly increasing inflation rates or even stagflation in the next few years! Gold is and remains one of the safest investments (a so-called ‘safe haven’) for investors in such an environment and offers the ultimate protection against inflation-related devaluation.  

Gold stocks traditionally have significant leverage against gold. This means that if the gold price trend is positive, they will increase significantly more in percentage terms. Experience has shown that the typical leverage effect of a gold share is 1.5 to 4x. (A 1% price increase in gold usually means an increase of 1.5 to 4% for shares in the gold sector). Not so with Tudor Gold: the exploration company even had a much stronger lever on the gold price in 2019! It was a strong 12.6x in 2019! The stock increased from $ 0.24 to $ 0.79 from January 2, 2019 to December 31, 2018. This corresponds to a percentage increase of 229.2%. The gold price rose by only 18.1% over the same period. Tudor Gold’s leverage was 12.6x (calculation formula: 229.2: 18.1 = 20.5). [Gold lever Tudor gold]

TOP NEWS 8: Tudor Gold’s drilling results in 2019 are world class! We have listed a few of the most spectacular drill results to date:  

Drill hole GS19-42: 0.849 g / t Gold Eq over 780 meters including 1.275 g / t Gold Eq over 370.5 meters in the 300 Horizon section;  

Hole GS19-47: 0.697 g / t Gold Eq over 1,081.5 meters including 0.867 g / t Gold Eq over 301.5 meters in the 300 Horizon section;  

Drill hole GS19-52: 0.783 g / t gold Eq over 601.5 meters incl. 1.062 g / t gold over 336.0 meters in the 300 Horizon section;  

Hole GS19-48: 0.793 g / t Gold Eq over 927.0 meters;  

Hole GS19-49: 0.800 g / t gold Eq over 826.5 meters including 1.080 g / t gold over 249 meters;  

Hole GS19-50: 0.681 g / t Gold Eq over 577.5 meters; Hole CB-18-39: 1,086 g / t Gold Eq over 563.8 meters  

Tudor Gold has already managed to define a significant mineralization corridor on Treaty Creek. The currently known length of the northeast axis of the Goldstorm system is over 850 meters and the southeast axis is at least 600 meters. The system remains open in both directions and in depth!  

The total size of this mighty gold system has expanded significantly with each step-out borehole! As can be seen in the recently released press release, Tudor is planning another step-out well 150 meters away in 2020. Not to be painted if a long gold mineralization section is found again! And the best thing is that mineralization at ‘Treaty Creek’ starts near the surface, which clearly speaks for a future open pit mine!  

Tudor Gold has therefore defined the so-called ‘Horizon 300 Zone’. This means the area of the first 300 meters from the ground. As you can see in the above results, the ore grades are often even over 1.00 grams of gold per ton! This increases the economy of this world-class project enormously. The gold system is open on all sides and the overall size has not yet been fully defined. Thus, Tudor Gold’s flagship project still has enormous exploration potential!  

The company plans to begin producing an initial resource estimate for Treaty Creek immediately after the 2020 drilling season is completed. We took the trouble to simulate a potential resource based on the conceptual exploration target for Treaty Creek of 1 billion tons of rock and various assumptions of ore grades (grams of gold per ton). We would like to emphasize that this simulation is based on an interview by Ken Konkin with Swiss Resource Capital AG in November 2019 and various variable assumptions!  

Tudor Gold’s star geologist Ken Konkin, Vice President Project Development, gave an impressive interview in November 2019.

Tudor Gold’s ‘Treaty Creek’ – the next significant world-class project in stable and mining-friendly Canada (BC) [Conceptual exploration target Treaty Creek] 

https://assets.wallstreet-online.de/_media/144/2020/06/02/konzeptionelles-explorationstarget-treaty-creek.png

As more and more gold producers have to replace their mined gold resources in order to maintain constant gold production, we believe that demand for world-class projects in politically stable regions such as Canada and Australia will increase significantly. Projects such as’ Treaty Creek ‘by Tudor Gold should be at the top of the big producers’ shopping list. Because the flagship project ‘Treaty Creek’ is close to the infrastructure of roads and electricity in mining-friendly western Canada.  

Should Tudor Gold actually manage to prove an initial gold resource of 22-32 million ounces by the end of the year, there would be a highly explosive revaluation of the share! Currently, the market capitalization is only around CAD 137 million. As I said, Tudor Gold has not released a proven resource yet, but the spectacular drill results from 2019 show that the company may be controlling a world-class ore body on Treaty Creek!  

We have created a hypothetical valuation matrix for Tudor Gold. If a producer were willing to pay, for example, USD 65 for each ounce of gold after the publication of a gold resource, the value of the gold treasure (eg 20 million ounces) at Treaty Creek would be CAD 1.98 billion. Tudor Gold’s 60% stake in Treaty Creek would have a value of $ 1.19 billion or $ 7.80 per share. This corresponds to a price potential of an incredible 748%!

[Hypothetical assessment of Treaty Creek]  

Since Tudor Gold’s Treaty Creek project is located in politically safe Canada, a substantial takeover premium should be extremely realistic if a major is taken over by M&A.  

$ 90 per ounce of gold is also easy in the realm of possibility. The takeover value for Tudor Gold would of course be correspondingly higher – in theory it would be approx. 10.80 CAD per share! That is why in previous articles we allowed Tudor Gold a clear potential for excavators. We expect huge news flow from Tudor Gold in 2020, especially for the upcoming drilling season, which will be a combination of ‘infill’ drilling and ‘step-out’ drilling.  

In addition, the mineralization zones begin near the surface, which strongly suggests that a large open open- cast mine may develop here. And it is known that Tudor Gold’s flagship project can be connected to a few kilometers away infrastructure (electricity and road). 
 

‘Wild Card’:  

Seabridge Gold is the adjacent neighbor to Tudor Gold’s Treaty Creek project and plans to bring the “KSM project” into production. Should this extremely costly mine project, with an initial cost of capital of $ 5.4 billion estimated, ever be financed and go into production, Seabridge plans to build a tunnel directly through Treaty Creek. As can be seen from various company presentations and on the Seabridge website, this so-called ‘ Mitchell Treaty’ tunnel (‘MTT’) is to be used to design an underground train system via which not only ore but also personnel and consumables are to be transported. As we can assess the situation from a distance, the possible tunnel is quite close to the potential Goldstorm gold system on ‘Treaty Creek’ – Tudor Gold will definitely not allow sterilization of your future resource!  

In our opinion, this tunnel will only be possible, if at all, under very mutually acceptable conditions and at eye level with Tudor Gold! Otherwise, it would be hard for us to imagine how Seabridge would survive a multi-billion-dollar lawsuit if the planned tunnel ran straight through Tudor Gold’s future (potential) open pit mine.  

Tudor’s Treaty Creek project is significantly closer to key infrastructure such as highway and electricity than its neighbor Seabridge Gold. Therefore, gold producers’ interest in Tudor Gold should also be greater. We also expect significantly lower capital costs to build a mine at Treaty Creek.

Summary of Highlights:  

  • Prime location: Huge land package in the world-famous Canadian ‘Golden Triangle’ – more than 72 million ounces of gold have already been discovered within a few kilometers. 
  • The Treaty Creek flagship project is adjacent to the largest world-class deposits and mines. (Seabridge Gold and Pretium Resources) 
  • Top Management – Very experienced and successful team under the leadership of the renowned Walter Storm , co-founder of the Canadian mining company Osisko Mining . Ken Konkin , a multi-award winning geologist, has led the drilling program since 2019. He was instrumental in the discovery of Pretium Resources’ The Valley of Kings deposit. (8 million ounces of gold) 

World-Class Drill Results at Treaty Creek Project:  

  • The 2019 drilling program resulted in first-class continuous mineralization sections, for example Drill hole GS19-42: 0.849 g / t Gold Eq over 780 meters including 1.275 g / t Gold Eq over 370.5 meters in the 300 Horizon section;  
  • Hole GS19-47: 0.697 g / t Gold Eq over 1,081.5 meters including 0.867 g / t Gold Eq over 301.5 meters in the 300 Horizon section;  
  • Drill hole GS19-52: 0.783 g / t gold Eq over 601.5 meters incl. 1.062 g / t gold over 336.0 meters in the 300 Horizon section;  
  • Hole GS19-48: 0.793 g / t Gold Eq over 927.0 meters; Hole GS19-49: 0.800 g / t gold Eq over 826.5 meters including 1.080 g / t gold over 249 meters;  
  • Hole GS19-50: 0.681 g / t Gold Eq over 577.5 meters; Hole CB-18-39: 1,086 g / t Gold Eq over 563.8 meters  
  • Enormous exploration potential – large parts of the exploration projects are still largely unexplored.

Gold & Silver Get Ready For A Big Move Higher SPONSOR: American Creek $AMK.ca $TUD.ca $SII.ca $GTT.ca $AFF.ca $SEA.ca $SA $PVG.ca $AOT.ca $ESK.ca

Posted by AGORACOM at 9:54 AM on Thursday, June 4th, 2020

SPONSOR: American Creek owns a 20% Carried Interest to Production at the Treaty Creek Project in the Golden Triangle. 2019’s first hole averaged 0.683 g/t Au over 780m in a vertical intercept. 2020 drilling has started, with 18,000 to 20,000 metres from 7-10 drill platforms with four diamond drill rigs. The Treaty Creek property is located in the same hydrothermal system as the Pretivm and Seabridge’s KSM deposits and is fully funded for exploration in 2020. Click Here For More Info

Gold and Silver moved lower early on June 2nd and 3rd.  Our research team believes this is a “Washout Low” price rotation following a technical pattern that will prompt a much higher rally in precious metals.  This type of washout price rotation is fairly common before very big moves after Pennant/Flag formations or just after reaching major price trigger levels.

With Gold, a sideways Pennant/Flag formation has been setting up near our GREEN Fibonacci Price Amplitude Resistance Arc.  We believe the downward price rotation recently is a perfect setup for skilled technical traders to take advantage of lower entry price levels.  The GREEN Fibonacci Price Amplitude Arc will very likely be breached over the next 5 to 10 trading days and the price of Gold should rally well above $1850 in the process.  We believe this Washout Rotation is a process of running through the Long Stops just below recent price activity that will end with a defined upside price rally over the next 2 to 5+ weeks.

 

Silver has set up a completely different type of price pattern – a true Double-Top pattern.  The downward price rotation recently in Silver is indicative of a weaker reaction to this massive resistance pattern and Double-Top.  The likelihood that Silver will find support above $17 and mount a further upside price rally over the next 2 to 5+ weeks is still very strong.  After the deep downward price collapse in Silver took place, just like what happened in 2009 and 2010, the upside potential for Silver is still massive – likely targeting $65 per ounce of higher.

This current Gold to Silver Ratio Monthly chart highlights the recent collapse in the ratio level as Silver rallied from near $12 towards current levels near $18.  A similar spike in the Gold to Silver Ratio took place in 2008-09 – just before the broader market collapse in the US and Global markets took place.  This happens as the initial reaction to risk in the global markets pushes Gold prices a bit higher while Silver, the often overlooked store of value, typically declines in value.

Once the price of Silver starts to rally, pushing the Gold to Silver ratio below 60 typically, both Gold and Silver start to align in price and begin to rally together.  The current level of the Gold to Silver ratio is 94.9.  This suggests that both Gold and Silver have quite a way to go in terms of reaching the “alignment phase”.  Our researchers believe Gold will rally above $2100 to $2400 and Silver will rally above $40 to $50 before the two metals align and begin to rally together in almost equal strength.

Concluding Thoughts:

Pay attention to what happens to precious metals over the next 10 to 15+ days.  If our research is correct, both Gold and Silver will rally higher by about 7.5% to 14% – setting up new price highs for both metals.  When the washout pattern completes, usually a fairly aggressive price trend begins where new price highs are established fairly quickly. Get ready, this should be a really nice upside price swing in precious metals over the next 6+ months or longer.

American Creek $AMK.ca Provides Update on Its Annual Filings and First Quarter Filings $TUD.ca $SII.ca $GTT.ca $AFF.ca $SEA.ca $SA $PVG.ca $AOT.ca $ESK.ca

Posted by AGORACOM at 9:10 PM on Friday, May 29th, 2020

AMK: TSX-V, OTCBB: ACKRF

American Creek Resources Ltd. (TSXV: AMK) (the “Company” or “American Creek”) – Following its press release of April 29, 2020, the Company is providing a further update on the status of filing of its annual financial statements, management’s discussion and analysis and related CEO and CFO certificates for the year ended December 31, 2019 (collectively, the “Annual Filings“).

On March 18, 2020, the Canadian Securities Administrators announced that they would provide issuers with a 45-day filing extension for filings required on or before June 1, 2020, as a result of COVID-19 pandemic. As such, the British Columbia Securities Commission has enacted BC Instrument 51-515 Temporary Exemption from Certain Corporate Finance Requirements (“BCI 51-515“).

In its April 29, 2020, press release, the Company announced its reliance on the exemption with respect to extending the deadline of the required filings pursuant to BCI 51-515. The Company currently still expects to file the Annual Filings on or prior to June 15, 2020.

The Company will also rely on BCI 51-515 to extend the deadline of filing its first-quarter consolidated interim financial statements, accompanying management’s discussion and analysis, and related CEO and CFO certificates for the three months ended March 31, 2020 (collectively, the “First-Quarter Filings“), which are required to be filed by June 1, 2020 under sections 4.3 and 4.4 of National Instrument 51-102 – Continuous Disclosure Obligations. The Company is continuing to work diligently and currently expects to have the First-Quarter Filings filed on or prior to the extended filing deadline of July 16, 2020.

As required by BC Instrument 51-515, and similar Instruments and Orders enacted in Alberta, Saskatchewan and Ontario, the Company discloses the following:

  • Until such time as the Company has filed the Annual Filings and the First-Quarter Filings, members of management and other insiders are subject to a trading black-out policy that reflects the principles in section 9 of National Policy 11-207 – Failure-to-File Cease Trade Orders and Revocations in Multiple Jurisdictions.
  • The Company confirms that there have been no material business developments, other than those announced through news releases, since November 2019 when the Company filed its third quarter interim financial results for the period ended September 30, 2019.

About American Creek

American Creek is a Canadian junior mineral exploration company with a strong portfolio of gold and silver properties in British Columbia.

Three of those properties are located in the prolific “Golden Triangle”; the Treaty Creek and Electrum joint venture projects with Tudor Gold/Walter Storm as well as the 100% owned past producing Dunwell Mine.

A major drill program was conducted in 2019 at Treaty Creek by JV partner and operator Tudor Gold. The focus of the program was on the Goldstorm zone where drilling has produced very wide intercepts of gold including a 780 meter intercept of 0.683 g/t gold including a higher grade upper portion of 1.095 g/t over 370.5 meters.

The Treaty Creek Project is a Joint Venture with Tudor Gold owning 60% and acting as operator. American Creek and Teuton Resources each have 20% interests in the project. American Creek and Teuton are both fully carried until such time as a Production Notice is issued, at which time they are required to contribute their respective 20% share of development costs. Until such time, Tudor is required to fund all exploration and development costs while both American Creek and Teuton have “free rides”.

A drill program was also recently concluded on the 100% owned Dunwell Mine property located near Stewart. Assay results are pending.

The Corporation also holds the Gold Hill, Austruck-Bonanza, Ample Goldmax, Silver Side, and Glitter King properties located in other prospective areas of the province.

Treaty Creek Project is Fully Funded for the 2020 Exploration Season

Last year Eric Sprott became the largest external investor in Treaty Creek in B.C.’s Golden Triangle.  He stated “Treaty Creek has a great shot at having 20 million ounces of gold.”  A very successful program was run hitting wide intervals of gold in every drill hole.  This year we’ll see if Eric is right as the objective of this year’s program is to develop a resource calculation.

The Goldstorm Zone will host a significantly larger drilling program in 2020

  • 18,000 to 20,000 Meter Drill Program
  • 7-10 Drill Platforms
  • Four Diamond Drill Rigs

The drill program is designed to extend and to explore the limits of Goldstorm System

  • The current conceptual model for Goldstorm is 1 billion tonnes at close to 1 gram of gold
  • The system remains open in all directions and to depth
  • The best mineralization encountered to date is from the two consecutive 150m step-out holes to the Northeast:
    • GS-19-42 yield 0.849 g/t Au Eq over 780 m with 1.275 g/t Au Eq over 370.5m
    • GS-19-47 yield 0.697 g/t Au Eq over 1,081.5m with 0.867 g/t Au Eq over 301.5m
  • The best Southeast extension:
    • GS-19-52 yields 0.783 g/t Au Eq over 601.5m
      • Includes 1.062 g/t Au Eq over 336.0m (NR dated March 3rd, 2020)

Treaty Creek JV Partnership

The Treaty Creek 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. American Creek and Teuton are both fully carried until such time as a Production Notice is issued, at which time they are required to contribute their respective 20% share of development costs. Until such time, Tudor is required to fund all exploration and development costs while both American Creek and Teuton have “free rides”.

Treaty Creek Background

The Treaty Creek Project lies in the same hydrothermal system as Pretium’s Brucejack mine and Seabridge’s KSM deposits with far better logistics.

We believe that the Goldstorm deposit at Treaty Creek is quickly becoming one of most significant assets in the gold industry and will be highly sought after.

The global economy was flashing danger signs long before the pandemic. For one thing, many countries were clamouring to get hold of as much gold as possible. For the past decade, they have been buying new reserves and bringing it home from overseas storage to an extent never seen in modern times. Then just before the pandemic, there was a pause. What does all this mean?

Central banks added 650 tons to their reserves in 2019, the second highest shift in 50 years, after the 656 tons added in 2018. Before the 2007-09 financial crisis, central banks were net sellers of gold worldwide for decades. Leading the recent spree has been China, Russia, Turkey, Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan.

Central bank gold buying 1971-2019

We have also seen a large effort by central banks to repatriate their gold from other countries, mostly from storage in New York and London.

Gold has enthralled humanity since ancient times. Still it glitters from central bank vaults to jewellery bazaars the world over. The Conversation brings you five essential briefings by academic experts on the world’s favourite precious metal. For more articles written by experts, join the hundreds of thousands who subscribe to our newsletter

Venezuela started repatriating its gold in 2011, shipping 160 tonnes from New York. A third of its holdings remain in London, but only because the Bank of England won’t repatriate them – declaring it doesn’t recognise the government in Caracas. Venezuela has now made this the subject of a legal claim.

Between 2012 and 2017, Germany repatriated most of its massive reserve from Paris and New York to Frankfurt. The Netherlands did likewise in 2014, followed by Austria.

Top 20 national gold reserves

Then came Eastern Europe. In 2018, Hungary announced it would repatriate nearly 3 tons of gold from London, while greatly boosting its reserves. Poland repatriated 100 tons from London a year later, about half of its national reserve. Next was Romania, while Slovakia and Serbia have been considering moving gold home from England too.

Why it is happening?

This dash to gold is about geopolitics and economics. Gold serves as a patch mark of nationalist identity. To quote Adam Glapinski, governor of the National Bank of Poland, “gold symbolises the strength of [a] country”.

Stocking up has made sense to many countries in the populist climate. It is also a sign of countries diversifying from dollars. The likes of Russia, China and even countries in Western Europe want to break the US dominance of the financial system, having seen it used as leverage in everything from economic sanctions to trade threats.

Following the last financial crisis, many also feared there was more to come. When former Slovak prime minister Robert Fico last year urged his parliament to compel the central bank to repatriate gold from London, he argued that overseas reserves could be at risk in a new global economic crisis.

Citing the 1938 Munich pact between France, Britain, Italy and Germany that allowed the German invasion of Czechoslovakia, he said that “sometimes your international partners can betray you”.

Countries also seem unnerved by the row over Venezuela’s gold, plus the fact that Germany’s repatriated bars from the US appeared different to what it thought was in store. This suggested the Federal Reserve was trading them.

Fiat vs gold

In an era where everything is digital, fast and smart, it might sound strange that a static piece of metal could still have a major monetary role. Central banks abandoned the gold standard in the 1970s, led by US President Richard Nixon, which meant that paper currencies were no longer exchangeable for gold. This was necessary because there were too many dollars in the international system and too many countries exercising their right to exchange them for US gold reserves.

After Nixon’s decision, currencies became fiat, meaning that countries could freely decide how much to have in circulation. Currencies now had value not because they were backed by gold, but because the state standing behind them said they had value. Central banks effectively declared gold to be a relic. Fiat money was seen as superior, thanks to central bankers’ supposedly scientific oversight of monetary policy.

The new dash for gold makes economists pause and wonder what is happening. It seems to show many countries looking for a safe haven in these years in which interest rates have been very low and central banks have been printing large amounts of money to stimulate the global economy. Gold continues to have intrinsic value, so it reassures countries – especially if they fear inflation and downturns.

And yet, just as economic uncertainty was about to move to a whole new level with the pandemic, this trend lost momentum. Additions to the gold holdings of central banks and other international institutions in the three months to January 2020 – the most recent figure available – were just 67 metric tons, the least since August 2018.

In truth, this was not entirely surprising. Purchasing bullion at close to a seven-year high, and after a month of prices fluctuating plus or minus about 13%, is no particularly prudent way to consolidate economic and geopolitical power.

It will be a few months before we see how the pandemic has affected central banks’ attitude to gold. It could yet convince them that gold will still move higher. So don’t be surprised if this dash to gold has resumed in recent weeks – in a leading indicator of troubling times ahead.

Cardston, Alberta–(Newsfile Corp. – May 12, 2020) – American Creek Resources Ltd. (TSXV: AMK) (“the Corporation”) (“American Creek”) today announced that it has executed an agreement with Tudor Gold Corp. (“Tudor”) whereby Tudor is buying out the Corporation’s 40% interest in the Electrum Project Joint Venture located near Stewart, British Columbia.

Tudor will pay American Creek $250,000 cash and issue 1,400,000 Tudor shares upon the transaction closing. The shares are subject to a standard four month hold period and a voluntary eight month hold as well.

This transaction is subject to approval by the TSX Venture Exchange.

Darren Blaney, American Creek CEO stated: “We think this transaction makes sense for American Creek and its shareholders as we are trading a minority interest in the Electrum property for non-dilutive operating cash as well as a substantial share position in Tudor which gives us more exposure to the upcoming Treaty Creek developments which we believe will be very significant.”
