American Creek $AMK.ca Announces Ken Konkin’s Appointment to Vice President for Project Development for Tudor Gold Including the JV Treaty Creek Project $TUD.ca $SII.ca $GTT.ca $AFF.ca $SEA.ca $SA $PVG.ca

Posted by AGORACOM at 9:11 AM on Monday, November 4th, 2019

Cardston, Alberta–(Newsfile Corp. – November 4, 2019) – American Creek Resources Ltd. (TSXV: AMK) (“American Creek”) is pleased to extend congratulations to Ken Konkin, PGeo, for his new role at Tudor Gold as Vice President for Project Development. Mr. Konkin was the exploration manager for the hugely successful 2019 drill program on our JV Treaty Creek property. The Treaty Creek property adjoins to the north of Pretium Resources’ Brucejack-Snowfield property and Seabridge Gold’s KSM property, along the geological trend. Drilling at Treaty Creek in 2019 was very successful under the direction of Mr. Konkin, hitting significant mineralization in all 14 holes which reconfirmed a 300m+ gold rich zone close to surface and an extension of mineralization to over one kilometer in depth.

Mr. Konkin has over 35 years of geological experience throughout North and South America as well as Russia. Mr. Konkin worked for Silver Standard for 19 years and managed advanced exploration programs at Manantial Espejo (Argentina), San Luis and Berenguela (Peru) as well as Snowfields (Pretium) in the Golden Triangle, British Columbia. Mr. Konkin was appointed the project manager for Pretium Resources after it purchased the Snowfields-Brucejack project from Silver Standard in 2010. Subsequently, he was instrumental in the discovery of the Valley of Kings deposit at the Brucejack Lake mine, an eight-million-ounce gold deposit currently in production. He spent seven years managing all aspects of the exploration programs at Snowfield-Brucejack. During his tenure with Pretium, the company received the Bill Dennis award in 2013 for a Canadian discovery (presented by the Prospectors & Developers Association of Canada); Mr. Konkin was also the co-recipient of the prestigious H.H. “Spud” Huestis award for “excellence in prospecting and mineral exploration in B.C. and/or Yukon” in 2017.

Darren Blaney, CEO of American Creek stated: “Since Ken came on board the Treaty Creek property has been fast tracked and is now looking like a world class property. The knowledge and experience he gained by discovering and developing the neighbouring Brucejack mine is being applied on Treaty Creek and it really shows. Ken clearly has the expertise and credibility to bring the Treaty Creek project to the next level. A world class project deserves a world class VP of Project Development.”

The Treaty Creek Project is a joint venture between Tudor Gold, 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 (fully carried until a production notice is given).

American Creek $AMK.ca Treaty Creek Moves Closer to Eric Sprott’s Prediction of 10 to 20 Million Ounces with Latest Drill Results $TUD.ca $SII.ca $GTT.ca $AFF.ca $SEA.ca $SA $PVG.ca

Posted by AGORACOM at 9:43 AM on Thursday, October 31st, 2019
  • 23 holes drilled in the last two years have intersected significant mineralization and dramatically increased the size of the Goldstorm deposit at Treaty Creek
  • Eric Sprott re-emphasized the potential of the project in last Friday’s podcast where he stated that he is “hoping they can prove up a 20-million-ounce deposit”
https://www.sprottmoney.com/Blog/after-three-weeks-going-sideways-gold-and-silver-just-woke-up-weekly-wrap-up-october-25-2019.html

11:30 –“I still believe there’s going to be huge deposit proven up there. If we get the right environment in precious metals, which it looks like we might be getting here, people are going to start looking at these things again, and it could be very, very exciting, so…and I am, kind of, hoping that they can ultimately pull up, like, a 20 million ounce deposit there. So these stocks would prove to be very, very inexpensive”

SUMMARIZING THE 2019 PROGRAM

The Company’s JV partner, Tudor Gold’s 2019 exploration program at the Goldstorm Zone on Treaty Creek totalled 9,781.8 meters with 14 diamond drill holes. This year’s drilling program generated the best near-surface results attained to date on the project. Specifically, in addition to several hundred meters extension along strike to the northeast, the 2019 program significantly expanded the mineralized limits to the southeast, where one of the best near-surface intervals averaged 2 g/t Au over 87m, within 336 m averaging 1 g/t Au in hole GS19-52.

RESULTS OF THE FINAL 5 DRILL HOLES

  • Hole GS19-49 was drilled to 960.1 m, at -80° dip, on Section 111+00 NE next to the previously announced vertical hole GS19-48, which yielded 0.725 g/t Au over 838.5m, including an upper horizon that averaged 1.048 g/t gold Au over 328.5 m. Hole GS19-49 returned equally impressive results with a comparable 0.7 g/t Au over 826.5 m and the upper horizon averaging 1 g/t Au over 249 m 
  • Along the same section, hole GS19-52 (-50° dip at 115° azimuth) was drilled much longer than expected because the Goldstorm System continues at least 700 m to the southeast ; GS19-52 averaged 1 g/t gold over 336 meters with a higher grade core of 2 g/t gold over 87 meters within the upper horizon.

Tudor Gold Exploration Manager, Ken Konkin explained: “Clearly the results of the previously reported deep vertical step-out holes demonstrate the impressive size and grade consistency of the Goldstorm system. Within the overall mineralized package of fragmental intermediate volcanic rocks there are several sub-horizontal horizons of significantly higher gold grades. The uppermost portions of the previously reported holes GS19-42, GS19-47 and GS19-48 contained respectively, 1.268 g/t gold over 252 m, 0.828 g/t gold over 301.5 m and 1.048 g/t gold over 328.5 m. We now have several other drill holes with excellent near-surface gold values to add to this list of growing intercepts. GS19-52 has returned the highest core gold grades of 2.006 g/t Au over 87 m within a 336m intercept of 1.004 g/t Au.

These intercepts are part of the uppermost portion of the Goldstorm system which we refer to as the ‘300 Horizon’. The ‘300 Horizon’ remains open along strike to the northeast as well as to the southeast. In addition, the lower horizons of the Goldstorm system also remain open in all directions and the lowest horizon is open at depth.”

Furthermore, Mr. Konkin added: “We are seeing consistent silver and copper mineralization associated with the deeper gold horizons such as the previously reported 151.5 m zone of 0.572 g/t gold, 8.5 g/t silver and 0.21% copper that was intercepted from 665.0 to 816.5 m in GS19-47 and a 66.0 m zone with 0.958 g/t gold, 3.9 g/t silver and 0.35% copper, whichwas intercepted from 874.5 to 940.5 m in GS19-48. Similarly, we have now seen in GS19-49, a 78 m intercept averaging 1.145 g/t gold, 11.2 g/t silver and 0.21% copper (750-828 m) and in GS19-52 an 88.5 m interval averaging 0.352 g/t gold, 9.3 g/t silver and 0.25% copper (515-603.5 m). Not only does the Goldstorm Zone remain open at depth and along strike, we are now seeing base-metal associations possibly as part of a zonation within the hydrothermal system.”

The final three footwall extension holes (GS19-50, GS19-51 and GS19-53) were completed on section 110+00 NE. These were successful in extending the width of the mineralized zone to the southeast:

  • Hole GS19-50 returned an average of 0.602 g/t Au over 577.5 m including 0.811 g/t Au over 267.0 m in the ‘300 Horizon
  • Hole GS19-51 returned an average of 0.721 g/t Au over 246 m in the ‘300 Horizon’ and a lower horizon that averages 1.017 g/t Au over 40.5 m.
  • Hole GS19-53 returned an average of 0.984 g/t Au over 147.0 m in the ‘300 Horizon’

American Creek’s $AMK.ca Goldstorm Deposit A Rare Opportunity for Investors Who Missed Pretium’s Brucejack Discovery $PVG.ca $SII.ca $SA $SKE.ca $TUD.ca $SPMT.ca $GTT.ca $III.ca $GGI.ca $SEA.ca $AFF.ca

Posted by AGORACOM at 9:39 PM on Monday, October 7th, 2019

Pretium helped define the Golden Triangle with the discovery of high grade gold at Brucejack. Drilling success at American Creek’s Treaty Creek property just north of Pretium is demonstrating the opportunity for a second chance for those that missed out on Brucejack. Aiming to become a peer through sheer force of tonnage, American Creeks JV partner Tudor Gold is returning intercepts that are close to a mile in length, with 0.589 g/t Au over 1081.5m, including an upper interval of 0.828 g/t Au over 301.5m and a lower interval of 0.930 g/t Au over 207m that also demonstrated copper values before exceeding the length of the drill capabilities. Other holes include 0.725 g/t gold over 838.5m, 0.683g/t gold over 780m, and 0.98 g/t gold over 563m.

An equal measure of thanks should also be directed toward Ken Konklin, who made the discovery at at Brucejack, and is now Exploration Manager at Treaty Creek. He came out of retirement after putting the $3 billion Brucejack mine into place because he believes that Treaty Creek holds more potential than what’s he’s already accomplished. He has said that developing the Brucejack mine was a huge achievement but Treaty Creek is going to be his legacy: ” The Goldstorm System shows no signs of weakening to the northeast and several more drill holes will be needed to find the length and depth of this huge gold system. Not only does the Goldstorm Zone remain open at depth and along strike, we are now seeing base-metal associations possibly as part of a zonation within the metal system.”

Treaty Creek:

  • Part of the same Sulphurets Hydrothermal System that contains a mind boggling 188M oz gold, 1.2B oz silver and 55B lbs of copper (all categories) to date ( P&P reserves of 47M oz Au, 214M oz Ag, and 10B lbs Cu)
  • Same trend – deposits occur about every 2-3 km going north with gold grades increasing as the system extends northward – The Goldstorm zone on Treaty Creek is the most northerly deposit to date
  • Huge logistical advantages by being on the right side of the mountain with direct access to power and highway
  • Potential open pit design requiring a fraction of the capital cost with a shorter payback period.
  • At the discovery stage of the mining life-cycle where biggest gains are typically made

 Large deposits are found near the red “discovery line” and the Sulphurets fault

Treaty Creek Project Summary Click Here: Treaty Creek Summary

Has already increased over 300% since spring and yet only the 2 sets of assays have been released. Based on the geology, geophysics, extended strike length and seemingly endless depth, it looks as though things have just started for American Creek.  A major drill program is presently being conducted at Treaty Creek by JV partner and operator Tudor Gold. There are now two drills working on the Goldstorm zone. The Treaty Creek Project is a Joint Venture with Tudor Gold owning 60% and acting as operator, with American Creek holding a 20% interest in the project. American Creek is fully carried until such time as a Production Notice is issued. Until such time, Tudor is required to fund all exploration and development costs while American Creek has a “free ride”.
