  • 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 a podcast where he stated that he is “hoping they can prove up a 20-million-ounce deposit”

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 $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’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”.

  • 3 prospecting licenses have been issued for the three claims that comprise the Advane Gold – Acacia Mining JV
  • Two of the claims are located on either side of Acacia Mining’s 100% owned ground on the Liranda corridor.
  • Acacia’s 100% owned ground Owns a resource estimate of 1.2 million ounces of gold with an average grade of 12.6 g/t.
  • Claim PL/2018/0211 has seen past drilling that returned a highlight hole of 6 metres of 30.9 g/t gold, April 18/2016

Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – March 28, 2019) – Advance Gold Corp. (TSXV: AAX) (“Advance Gold” or “the Company”) is pleased to announce that new prospecting licenses have been issued for the three claims (PL/2018/0210, PL/2018/0211 and PL/2018/0212) that make up the West Kenya, Advance Gold – Acacia Mining joint venture. Two of the claims are located on either side of Acacia Mining’s 100% owned ground on the Liranda corridor.

On Acacia’s 100% owned ground a resource estimate (from the Isulu Shoot) was announced in February 2018, consisting of 1.2 million ounces of gold with an average grade of 12.6 g/t. The Isulu Shoot zone is contiguous to Advance Gold’s license PL/2018/0211 and PL/2018/0210. Mineralization hosted on Acacia’s property is not necessarily indicative of the mineralization hosted on the properties that make up the Advance-Acacia joint venture. In addition, claim PL/2018/0211 has seen past drilling that returned a highlight hole of 6 metres of 30.9 g/t gold, see April 18/2016 news release.

The joint venture is owned 85.37% by Acacia and 14.63% by Advance Gold. If during the joint venture either party decides to sell their interest, the other party has a first right of refusal on any offering price. If Advance Gold is diluted down to a 10% interest (approximately $1.7 million in exploration to dilute), then its interest converts to a 3% uncapped net smelter royalty (NSR). In the event that Advance Gold is diluted to a NSR, Acacia Mining has no first rights of refusal and the NSR can be sold directly to any interested party.

Allan Barry Laboucan, President and CEO of Advance Gold Corp. commented: “Management is delighted with the new licenses for our strategically located claims in Kenya that have been recently re-issued. The joint venture claims have seen high-grade gold intersections in past drilling, and are located on the Liranda corridor on either side of Acacia Mining’s high-grade gold resource at their Isulu Shoot. Based on the past work at the joint venture claims, including drilling, geophysics, and surface sampling, the potential of the project is clear and why an Acacia Mining sized company is our partner. Acacia Mining is 64% owned by Barrick Gold Corporation, so it is fair to say from Barrick’s public statements about deposit size, that they are looking for more than 1.2 million ounces. A logical move by Acacia Mining will be to drill more extensively on the joint venture ground so as to enhance Acacia Mining’s known resource. Now that we have the new licenses, Advance Gold will evaluate its options to participate in further exploration, or be diluted down to a NSR. We are also considering the option to sell our interest as we feel that it is an attractive asset for gold miners, streamers and royalty companies that are hard pressed to put their cash to work as there aren’t a lot of high-grade gold projects to choose from.”

About the Liranda Corridor Claims

The Liranda Corridor is found on the map below (from the Acacia Mining corporate presentation Feb. 2019) and it has been the focus of Acacia’s exploration in western Kenya.

On Acacia Mining’s 100% owned ground, they have an inferred resource of 1.2 million ounces at 12.1 g/t gold. The entire resource is on the Isulu Shoot and can be seen in the upper right corner of the map and is highlighted in red. The Isulu Shoot occurs in the same structures that extend onto the Advance Gold-Acacia Mining joint venture ground.

Past drilling on the joint venture ground, has returned some of the highest reported grades from the Liranda corridor. Including highlight drill intersections of 6 metres of 30.9 g/t gold (drillhole – KDAC0152), see April 18/2016 news release.

Acacia Mining has determined the scope of the resource on their 100% ground. It is clear from the geological setting, the structural trends and past drilling on the joint venture ground that it is a prime target area to enhance the Acacia Mining resource.

  • Successful metallurgical test program simulated an industrial process which was utilized to purify Albany Graphite concentrate.
  • Test is a significant step forward towards industrial graphene production
  • A final product purity of approximately 99.8% Cg appears to be the practical upper limit of this hydrometallurgical processing
  • Product will be used as a precursor material for the Company’s developing graphene applications such as graphene enhanced concrete and other composites

Thunder Bay, Ontario–(Newsfile Corp. – March 20, 2019) – ZEN Graphene Solutions Ltd. (TSXV: ZEN) (“ZEN” or “Company”) is pleased to provide an update on the Company’s recent metallurgical test program which successfully simulated an industrial process which was utilized to purify Albany Graphite concentrate. This successful test is a significant step forward towards industrial graphene production. A final product purity of approximately 99.8% Cg appears to be the practical upper limit of this hydrometallurgical processing. This final product will be used as a precursor material for the Company’s developing graphene applications such as graphene enhanced concrete and other composites.

This work was conducted at SGS Canada Inc. (SGS), Lakefield, Ontario under the supervision of ZEN’s Metallurgist and Project Manager, James Jordan, P.Eng. As reported in the July 16, 2018 news release, a new graphite purification process was developed which eliminated soluble graphite losses, helped increase the total recovery from 75% to 90% and achieved greater efficiency in both chemical reagent consumption and energy input when compared to the previous flow sheet.

Dr. Francis Dubé, Zenyatta’s Co‐CEO and Head of Business Development and Technology said: “The successful development of this new industrially viable graphite purification process is an important step in the Company’s business plan to develop the Albany Graphite Project for graphene applications. The next step for the company will be to confirm an industrial process to convert purified Albany Graphite into graphene.”

The new graphite purification process is based on a pressure caustic leach followed by a second stage purification using acidified ammonium fluoride. Key to the success of the new purification process is the ability to recycle process solutions and a locked-cycle test program was implemented which simulated an industrial process wherein impurities were removed allowing water and reactant to be reclaimed. The six-cycle test demonstrated that stable impurity concentrations could be maintained within the circuit and no build-up of elements detrimental to final product purity was found.

James Jordan, P.Eng., is the “Qualified Person” for the purposes of National Instrument 43-101 and has reviewed, prepared and supervised the preparation of the technical information contained in this news release. SGS performed analyses of all purified Albany graphite samples by direct ash analysis using a platinum crucible, according to a validated method that also accurately quantifies key trace level impurities by subsequent ICP analysis.
