- Released an update on the Copper Belle preliminary resource estimate progress at the Treaty Creek project located in the “Golden Triangle” of northwestern British Columbia
- Tudor has announced that another 8 to 16 holes to depths of greater than 700 m are recommended in order to publish a preliminary resource estimate
Cardston, Alberta–(June 4, 2018) – American Creek Resources Ltd. (TSXV: AMK) (OTC Pink: ACKRF) (“American Creek”) today announced that Treaty Creek JV partner Tudor Gold (“Tudor”) has released an update on the Copper Belle preliminary resource estimate progress at the Treaty Creek project located in the “Golden Triangle” of northwestern British Columbia. Tudor has announced that another 8 to 16 holes to depths of greater than 700 m are recommended in order to publish a preliminary resource estimate.
Walter Storm, President and CEO of Tudor Gold (the operator), commented: “Our first priority now is to complete the work for our resource estimate followed by drilling other exciting targets confirmed by Simcoe Geoscience. The geophysical survey that combined acquired data from magnetotellurics (MT), magnetometer (Mag) and electromagnetic (EM) surveys has provided Tudor with several high priority anomalous drill targets. We expect that this summer’s drill program will be very busy.”

In Figure 1 above, you can clearly see that the north end face of Copper Belle (right) is cut-off demonstrating a continuation of the mineralized zone to the north. When looking at Figure 2 below, the Copper Belle anomaly also shows a strong continuation of mineralized structure that is open to the north, west and to depth. This was verified in the 2017 drill results and supports Tudor’s priority focus for 2018 drilling on the Copper Belle extensions. The Konkin Zone anomaly is a high priority exploratory drill target that previously generated 870 g/t Au over a 1.2m channel sample.

In Figure 3 below, an intense anomaly has been identified adjacent to the RR Zone and GR2 Zones and represents another high priority exploration drill target. The GR2 assays from 2017 indicated a high grade strata-vein feeder system adjacent to this large anomaly. A feeder system that Tudor suggests will continue into the anomaly.

Darren Blaney, President and CEO of American Creek, stated: “As the correlation between the drilling and the geophysical work is now becoming clearer, and new targets emerge, the potential of Treaty Creek continues to impress. We very much look forward to Tudor advancing the Copper Belle resource estimate as well as expanding the drill program to other high priority targets.”
