Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 2:09 PM on Thursday, May 5th, 2016

AMK: TSX-V, ACKRF: OTC Pink

WHY AMERICAN CREEK RESOURCES?

  • Mineralization in the Treaty Creek claims area lies within the same broad hydrothermal system that generated the several deposits on the Seabridge Gold KSM and the Pretivm Brucejack properties that lie immediately southwest of the Treaty Creek claims
  • So far over 130 million ounces of gold, 800 million ounces of silver and 20 billion pounds of copper (all categories included), representing one of the greatest concentrations of metal value on the planet, have been delineated within the geological system shared by KSM, Brucejack, and Treaty Creek.

Exceptional Properties

Electrum Gold-Silver Property, British Columbia – 100% owned

The Electrum property has a rich history with some of the highest grade hand-mined ore mined in North America combined with excellent logistics. The property is located directly between two high-grad vein gold/silver mines; the past producing Silbak Premier mine and Pretiums high-grade Brucejack mine (production in 2017).All three lie within the Iskut mineral district (a particularly prolific part of the Canadian Cordillera) with numerous geological similarities between them.

The Electrum Property holds significant potential to attract mining companies when considering its high-grade nature combined with the exceptional logistics in place.

  • Located in the prolific Golden Triangle of northwestern British Columbia, an area encompassing mineral rich belts that host more than 43 past producing mines including Eskay Creek, Silbak Premier, Granduc and Big Missouri.It is a hotbed of activity with one new mine having come online in 2015 (Imperial Mines Red Chris) and another scheduled for 2017 (Pretium Brucejack) and at least three more world-class mining projects headed toward production.
  • Located in a particularly rich valley with 4 past producing commercial mines and a 5th in the adjacent valley.
  • Includes the historic East Gold Mine that had intermittent small-scale production of approximately 46 tonnes of ore with grades averaging 1,661 grams of gold per tonne and 2,596 grams of silver per tone (roughly 50oz gold with 75oz silver).
  • Mineralization is believed to be very similar to the silver-gold-base metal veins responsible for the precious metal mineralization found in the Silbak Premier Mine and the Big Missouri mines (located in same extended valley).
  • Pretiums Brucejack Summary Report (for exploration) compares itself geologically to the Silbak Premier mine as well.
  • Exceptional gold and silver assays including 440 g/t gold with 400 g/t silver over 0.52m, with numerous silver intervals of 583g/t, 501 g/t, 420 g/t, 384 g/t in core, and surface samples of 80.96 g/t gold with 80,818 g/t silver, 694 g/t gold with 550 g/t silver, 54.77 g/t gold with 14,903 g/t silver, 615 g/t gold with 616 g/t silver.
  • A very successful program was run in 2015 wherein:
    • A new approach focusing on high-grade was employed very successfully
    • A new zone of gold / silver mineralization was discovered
    • A better understanding of the property geology was obtained
    • Surface samples from the structure averages 27,092 gm/tonne silver and 248 gm/tonne gold



  • The program proved the Electrum Property has multiple high-grade gold-silver epithermal breccia vein systems and gave us a better understating of their sequencing.
  • Excellent logistics including road access, power located 2 km away and a bulk tonnage shipping port and supportive mining town located just40 km away in a mining friendly jurisdiction.

The high-grade ELECTRUM PROPERTY recently had a program run on it. CLICK HERE for the Electrum presentation and HERE for the 2015 drill program presentation. The highly mineralized gossans on the Electrum are shown in the image at the top of this page.

2015 Drill Program Presentation

Treaty Creek Gold-Copper Property, British Columbia – 51% Joint Venture

Treaty Creek Property


Treaty Creek is located in British Columbia’s prolific Golden Triangle; one of the richest areas of mineralization in the world with one new mine having come online in 2015 (Imperial Mines Red Chris) and another scheduled for 2017 (Pretium Brucejack) and at least three more world-class mining projects headed toward production.

Mineralization in the Treaty Creek claims area lies within the same broad hydrothermal system that generated the several deposits on the Seabridge Gold KSM and the Pretivm Brucejack properties that lie immediately southwest of the Treaty Creek claims. So far over 130 million ounces of gold, 800 million ounces of silver and 20 billion pounds of copper (all categories included), representing one of the greatest concentrations of metal value on the planet, have been delineated within the geological system shared by KSM, Brucejack, and Treaty Creek.

Seabridge Gold’s KSM is the world’s largest undeveloped gold/silver project by reserves while Pretium’s Brucejack is the highest grading undeveloped large-scale gold project in the world.KSM has just past the environmental and permitting stage while the Brucejack is in construction phase.
Treaty Creek is part of the same large hydrothermal system as it’s neighbours, hosts the same bedrock geology as its neighbours, the same magneto-telluric (MT) anomalies that proved to be large deposits on the neighbours claims, the same major fault system (Sulphurets) that is responsible for KSM’s deposits, and initial exploration and drilling show similar results to initial drilling on KSM.

The Treaty Creek property is in a strategic location as it’s included in Seabridge’s plan for the KSM to go into production. Seabridge has proposed twin tunnels that would take the KSM ore through American Creek’s Treaty Creek property to a processing plant and tailings pond.

AGORACOM Welcomes Tartisan Resources (TTC: CSE) – Situated in the Andes which hosts 12 operating mines, 3 of which are world class producers $TTC.ca

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 8:43 AM on Tuesday, May 3rd, 2016

TTC: CSE

  • US $250,000 recommended work program
  • Grab samples of note:
    • 2.273 g Au/t
    • 1,814 g Ag/t
  • Gold and silver in Perú’s prolific North- Central Mineralized Belt
  • “La Victoria” lies within this 300 km belt along the Andes which hosts 12 operating mines, 3 of which are world class producers.
  • La Arena owned by Tahoe Resources, Lagunas Norte (Alto Chicama) owned by Barrick Gold Corporation (TSX:ABX) and Santa Rosa owned by Compañia Minera Aurífera Santa Rosa (COMARSA).
  • La Victoria has excellent potential to host high-grade oxide and sulphide epithermal Au, Ag vein systems as well as potential for a large, low-grade, disseminated Cu, Au and Ag (porphyry-type) deposit.

  • Situated in the District of Huandoval, Province of Pallasca, Department of Ancash in the Republic of Peru on the continent of South America; approximately 425 kilometers (km) north-northwest of Lima. It is located within the Instituto Geografico Nacional (IGN) map sheet 17-h Pallasca.
  • Claims are centered on Universal Transverse Mercator (“UTM”) coordinate system, Provisional South American Datum 1956 (“PSAD56″), zone 18L, 174202 meters (m) East and 9081240 meters North; or geographic coordinate system 77º 57′ 15″ of west Longitude and 8º 18′ 10” of south Latitude.

  • Located in a remote area of Ancash on the western slopes of the Peruvian Andes at elevations that vary from 3000 m to 4200 m above sea level.
  • Landscape includes rocky mountaintops emerging from wide grassy valleys carved by glacial activity (Figure 7.1a and 7.1b).
  • Fertile land is abundant at lower altitudes. The vegetation at lower altitudes includes eucalyptus and pine trees, pasture and garden vegetables whereas the vegetation above 4000 m is restricted to grasses such as the ichu, cactus and some flower species.
  • Temperature on the Property varies between -3 and 20 degrees celsius (“ºC”) with an annual average of approximately 13 ºC. There are only two seasons: the rainy season from November to March along with snowfall during this period, and the dry season from April to October which is also cold.

The Property is located about 10 hours away from Lima by truck with a travel distance of approximately 600 km. Exploration and mining activity can function year-round; however, it is expected that there will be down time during the rainy season because of the poor road conditions. Extreme caution is advised during this period. Figure 6.2 illustrates the route to the Property whereas the travel times, distances and road conditions are listed in Table 7.1.

Route Distance (km) Time (hours) Condition
Lima – Chimbote 440 5.75 Paved road
Chimbote – Santa 11 0.25 Paved road
Santa – Estacion Chuquicara 66 1 Paved road
Estación Chuquicara – La Galgada 30 0.5 Paved road
La Galgada – Pallasca 40 2 Maintained gravel road
Pallasca Property 6 0.5 Maintained gravel road

The nearest road to the San Markito and Victoria anomalies is approximately 3 km away, therefore, the Phase I exploration was performed using horses and donkeys as the main transport method. Water is not abundant within these areas but is available at higher elevations. Infrastructure improvements such as road, water reserve and electrical lines (if feasible) should be implemented before the Phase II exploration operations.

Electrum Gold-Silver Property, British Columbia – 100% owned

The Electrum property has a rich history with some of the highest grade hand-mined ore mined in North America combined with excellent logistics. The property is located directly between two high-grad vein gold/silver mines; the past producing Silbak Premier mine and Pretiums high-grade Brucejack mine (production in 2017).All three lie within the Iskut mineral district (a particularly prolific part of the Canadian Cordillera) with numerous geological similarities between them.

The Electrum Property holds significant potential to attract mining companies when considering its high-grade nature combined with the exceptional logistics in place.

  • Located in the prolific Golden Triangle of northwestern British Columbia, an area encompassing mineral rich belts that host more than 43 past producing mines including Eskay Creek, Silbak Premier, Granduc and Big Missouri.It is a hotbed of activity with one new mine having come online in 2015 (Imperial Mines Red Chris) and another scheduled for 2017 (Pretium Brucejack) and at least three more world-class mining projects headed toward production.
  • Located in a particularly rich valley with 4 past producing commercial mines and a 5th in the adjacent valley.
  • Includes the historic East Gold Mine that had intermittent small-scale production of approximately 46 tonnes of ore with grades averaging 1,661 grams of gold per tonne and 2,596 grams of silver per tone (roughly 50oz gold with 75oz silver).
  • Mineralization is believed to be very similar to the silver-gold-base metal veins responsible for the precious metal mineralization found in the Silbak Premier Mine and the Big Missouri mines (located in same extended valley).
  • Pretiums Brucejack Summary Report (for exploration) compares itself geologically to the Silbak Premier mine as well.
  • Exceptional gold and silver assays including 440 g/t gold with 400 g/t silver over 0.52m, with numerous silver intervals of 583g/t, 501 g/t, 420 g/t, 384 g/t in core, and surface samples of 80.96 g/t gold with 80,818 g/t silver, 694 g/t gold with 550 g/t silver, 54.77 g/t gold with 14,903 g/t silver, 615 g/t gold with 616 g/t silver.
  • A very successful program was run in 2015 wherein:
    • A new approach focusing on high-grade was employed very successfully
    • A new zone of gold / silver mineralization was discovered
    • A better understanding of the property geology was obtained
    • Surface samples from the structure averages 27,092 gm/tonne silver and 248 gm/tonne gold



  • The program proved the Electrum Property has multiple high-grade gold-silver epithermal breccia vein systems and gave us a better understating of their sequencing.
  • Excellent logistics including road access, power located 2 km away and a bulk tonnage shipping port and supportive mining town located just40 km away in a mining friendly jurisdiction.

The high-grade ELECTRUM PROPERTY recently had a program run on it. CLICK HERE for the Electrum presentation and HERE for the 2015 drill program presentation. The highly mineralized gossans on the Electrum are shown in the image at the top of this page.

Treaty Creek Gold-Copper Property, British Columbia – 51% Joint Venture

Treaty Creek Property


Treaty Creek is located in British Columbia’s prolific Golden Triangle; one of the richest areas of mineralization in the world with one new mine having come online in 2015 (Imperial Mines Red Chris) and another scheduled for 2017 (Pretium Brucejack) and at least three more world-class mining projects headed toward production.

Mineralization in the Treaty Creek claims area lies within the same broad hydrothermal system that generated the several deposits on the Seabridge Gold KSM and the Pretivm Brucejack properties that lie immediately southwest of the Treaty Creek claims. So far over 130 million ounces of gold, 800 million ounces of silver and 20 billion pounds of copper (all categories included), representing one of the greatest concentrations of metal value on the planet, have been delineated within the geological system shared by KSM, Brucejack, and Treaty Creek.

Seabridge Gold’s KSM is the world’s largest undeveloped gold/silver project by reserves while Pretium’s Brucejack is the highest grading undeveloped large-scale gold project in the world.KSM has just past the environmental and permitting stage while the Brucejack is in construction phase.
Treaty Creek is part of the same large hydrothermal system as it’s neighbours, hosts the same bedrock geology as its neighbours, the same magneto-telluric (MT) anomalies that proved to be large deposits on the neighbours claims, the same major fault system (Sulphurets) that is responsible for KSM’s deposits, and initial exploration and drilling show similar results to initial drilling on KSM.

The Treaty Creek property is in a strategic location as it’s included in Seabridge’s plan for the KSM to go into production. Seabridge has proposed twin tunnels that would take the KSM ore through American Creek’s Treaty Creek property to a processing plant and tailings pond.

  • Whitney Northwest Gold Project, located approximately 3.5 kilometres northwest of Tahoe Resources (T-THO and NYSE-TAHO) Bell Creek Mine and 10 kilometres northeast of the City of Timmins, Ontario
  • Works included geophysical surveys, consisting of VLF-EM and electromagnetic (EM), 4 diamond drill holes, and 37 reverse circulation holes totaling 2,950 feet (899 metres) drilled across the historic Moneta ground (34 of which were collared within Durango’s claim boundary)

Vancouver, BC / April 15, 2016 – Durango Resources Inc. (the “Company” or “Durango”) is pleased to announce additional information on its 100% owned Whitney Northwest Gold Project, located approximately 3.5 kilometres northwest of Tahoe Resources (T-THO and NYSE-TAHO) Bell Creek Mine and 10 kilometres northeast of the City of Timmins, Ontario.

The Whitney Northwest Project was previously worked by Moneta Porcupine Mines Ltd between 1987 and 1990, with several reports detailing the work carried out by the company filed with the Ontario Assessment File Database (“AFRI”). The works included geophysical surveys, consisting of VLF-EM and electromagnetic (EM), 4 diamond drill holes, and 37 reverse circulation holes totaling 2,950 feet (899 metres) drilled across the historic Moneta ground (34 of which were collared within Durango’s claim boundary). (1) (2) (3) *

VLF-EM and electromagnetic surveys were carried out in 1987, across the historical property area and covering the entirety of the Whitney Northwest property. The surveys identified 7 anomalous zones, 5 of which occur within Durango’s property, and were suspected to be graphitic in nature and/or related to conductive fault zones of several events (1). In addition, “two northwest-trending fault zones are suspected on the Base Line at 40+00 East and 76+00 East … [displacing two conductors] by several hundred feet”. (1) The same report goes on to state that the geophysical surveys may have located the possible extension of the Burrows-Benedict Fault zone. (1) *

The reverse circulation (RC) drilling campaign carried out in 1989 targeted sampling within till and sediment, with additional sampling in bedrock at the terminus of each hole which penetrated an average of 1.5 metres into bedrock. The best three samples assayed 15,000 ppb, 2,400 ppb, and 2,300 ppb Au from till in holes MGM-87-22, -24 and -09 respectively. These samples were also selectively subjected to gold grain analysis in which abraded grains and flakes were identified in hole MGM-87-09 and -24, and abraded grains were observed in hole MGM-87-22. A total of 30 samples in 21 of the 34 RC holes drilled on the Whitney Northwest Property yielded gold values exceeding 100 ppb, with an average of 970 ppb and a median of 255 ppb, all within till and sediment. Bedrock samples did not yield significant gold grades. (3) *

Diamond drilling was carried out in 1987 and 1990 for Moneta Porcupine Mines Inc. Of the four holes drilled on the Whitney Northwest property, Hole MT-90-04 intersected a graphitic, brecciated shear zone of approximately 15 metres apparent thickness and was not sampled for gold mineralization. (2) *

* The reader is cautioned that assays and data cited above are historical in nature and recently acquired. Sampling, analytical and test data underlying the information and opinions contained in the written disclosure have not yet been verified by a qualified person. Further work must be carried out in order to verify the information contained in the historic reports.

President and Director of Durango, Marcy Kiesman, stated, “We are pleased with the results of the past work completed on the Whitney NW property which now gives Durango a solid starting point for future exploration. In light of the results, we have prioritized following up on potential fault zones on the property as indicated by the previous drilling and geophysics.”

The technical contents of this release were approved by Mr. Case Lewis, P.Geo., a Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101 and a vendor of the property. The property has not yet been the subject of a National Instrument 43-101 report.
