American Creek's JV Partner Tudor Gold Announces Positive Metallurgical Testing Results for the Goldstorm Deposit at Treaty Creek, Located in the Heart of the Golden Triangle, Northwestern British Columbia
Cardston, Alberta--(Newsfile Corp. - October 25, 2024) - American Creek Resources Ltd. (TSXV: AMK) ("the Corporation" or "American Creek") is pleased to announce that project operator and JV partner Tudor Gold ("Tudor") has given an update to ongoing metallurgical testwork on the Goldstorm gold, copper and silver deposit, located on the Treaty Creek Project situated within the Golden Triangle of British Columbia.
Highlights from the Metallurgical Testing on the Lower CS-600 Sub-Domain include:
Flotation recoveries within the Lower CS-600 sub-domain totaled up to 88.1% copper, 63.8% gold, and 51.3% silver;
Flotation testing confirmed that a high-grade copper concentrate with significant quantities of gold can be produced from the Lower CS-600 sub-domain, that exceed 29% copper with significant gold and silver grades of 33 g/t and 96 g/t, respectively;
The flotation program uses a typical copper flowsheet to produce the saleable copper concentrate mentioned above. Further flotation testwork is ongoing to produce a separate pyrite concentrate containing gold and silver. The positive results from flotation, in conjunction with previous oxidative leaching methods (such as Pressure Oxidation or Albion), continue to support the previously reported gold recoveries of 90% for the Lower CS-600 domain. The testing program was designed and executed with sufficient rigor to support a future Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA).
Commenting on the results, Ken Konkin, President & CEO of Tudor Gold, stated, "We are very pleased with the results obtained from the locked-cycle flotation tests from this phase of metallurgical testing on material from the lower portion of the CS-600 Domain (CS-600L). We estimate more than 50% of the CS-600 Domain is located within the lower portion (the CS-600L sub-domain). Through a simple rougher-cleaner flotation process we were able to produce an exceptionally clean, high-grade concentrate with excellent metal recoveries, with over 88% for copper and approximately 64% for gold. The CS-600L sub-domain is located in the same area which hosts the newly discovered Supercell-1 (SC-1) high-grade gold complex. Our engineering team has recommended initial metallurgical tests to be conducted on material collected from the SC-1 drill hole intercepts. The SC-1 composite sample will be shipped to SGS Labs for metallurgical tests.
Our concept is to focus on the high-grade SC-1 to study the possibility of extracting as much high-grade gold as possible while potentially building out the infrastructure to access the CS-600L area. The plan is to utilize the same workings from the Supercell complex to access the CS-600 domain. These latest results from the CS-600L Domain significantly de-risk the Goldstorm project with respect to metallurgical characteristics of the copper-gold mineralization and will be utilized in a future Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA).
Additionally, two gold-dominant domains, 300H and DS5, have demonstrated high gold recoveries from previous oxidation/cyanidation tests, with results exceeding 94% gold recovery for the Albion process and in excess of 98% gold recovery for pressure oxidation tests. We were very pleased to observe that no deleterious compounds were formed from any of the types of oxidation-leach tests completed, which will allow our technical team to conduct trade-off studies for recovery vs costs for each process. Given the favorable metallurgical test results obtained from this gravity/flotation system for the CS-600L sub-domain, testing and potentially expanding the SC-1 high-grade gold complex will be our primary focus moving forward. Additional tests are also recommended to examine the northernmost part of CS-600 (CS-600N) which has never been tested previously and continued tests on the upper CS-600 (CS-600U). However, the lower portion of CS-600 has enough volume to mine and process 40,000 tpd over 17 years producing a highly desirable copper concentrate with good gold and silver credits. The goal for the Treaty Creek Deposit is to be able to produce at least 500,000 AuEQ ounces per year. Our mineral process engineers can determine the optimal size and type of mineral processing to be considered for advancing the project that will part of the PEA with a series of trade-off studies examining the most economical path forward for the Treaty Creek Project."

American Creek's JV Partner Tudor Gold Discovers a Fourth High-Grade Gold Target, Supercell-1D (SC-1D) at Treaty Creek, Golden Triangle of British Columbia; Intersects 10.92 g/t Gold Equivalent (AuEQ) over 3.00 Meters Within Supercell-1C (SC-1C) and 5.70
Cardston, Alberta--(Newsfile Corp. - October 9, 2024) - American Creek Resources Ltd. (TSXV: AMK) (OTCQB: ACKRF)("the Corporation" or "American Creek") is pleased to announce that project operator and JV partner Tudor Gold ("Tudor") has produced the results from the final three drill-holes completed from the 2024 exploration drilling program (the "Program") that totaled 10,530 meters (m) at the flagship Treaty Creek Project, located in the heart of the Golden Triangle of Northwestern British Columbia.
The Supercell-One Zone (SC-1) was identified earlier this year to represent a significant potential economic target that is within, and peripheral to, the CS-600 Domain (see press releases dated February 2nd, August 14th, and September 11th, 2024). The discovery of a fourth sub-parallel gold bearing breccia system (SC-1D) continues the expansion of the Supercell-One system. Drillhole GS-24-187 intersected 10.92 g/t AuEQ over 3.00 m within SC-1C and 5.70 g/t AuEQ over 3.00 m within a newly discovered SC-1D zone, both occurring within a strongly mineralized envelope that returned 1.43 g/t AuEQ over 99.00 m. The gold-rich SC-1 system occurs within an area measuring up to 800 m in length by 400 m in depth. All four stacked, sub-parallel structures remain open in all directions and to depth.
Drilling Highlights:
Hole GS-24-185 intersected a 150 m eastward step-out of the CS-600 Domain and the new SC-1D zone.
CS-600: 1.01 g/t AuEQ over 200.50 m (0.92 g/t Au, 2.69 g/t Ag, 0.05% Cu)
Including: 2.18 g/t AuEQ over 21.00 m (1.95 g/t Au, 2.92 g/t Ag, 0.17% Cu)
SC-1D: 9.60 g/t AuEQ over 13.50 m (9.58 g/t Au, 0.44 g/t Ag, 0.01% Cu) - previously reported September 11th, 2024
Hole GS-24-186 intersected an 85 m northward step-out of the SC-1A zone.
SC-1A: 10.40 g/t AuEQ over 1.50 m (9.78 g/t Au, 22.46 g/t Ag, 0.02% Cu)
Hole GS-24-187 intersected a 200 m northeastward step-out of the SC-1C zone, a 130 m northward step-out of the SC-1D zone and a 120 m northward step-out of the CS-600 Domain.
SC-1C: 10.92 g/t AuEQ over 3.00 m (10.89 g/t Au, 0.97 g/t Ag, 0.02% Cu)
SC-1D: 5.70 g/t AuEQ over 3.00 m (5.65 g/t Au, 0.95 g/t Ag, 0.03% Cu)
CS-600: 1.22 g/t AuEQ over 115.50 m (0.75 g/t Au, 2.22 g/t Ag, 0.36% Cu)
Including: 1.68g/t AuEQ over 10.50 m (0.13 g/t Au, 4.76 g/t Ag, 1.22% Cu)

Ken Konkin, Tudor Gold President and CEO, comments: "We are extremely pleased to announce the continued discovery of multiple sub-parallel, stacked, micro-breccia systems within the Supercell Complex. The consistent high-grade gold intercepts were discovered from the wide-spaced step-out drilling targeting the open-ended CS-600 domain in the northern and eastern areas of the Goldstorm Deposit. Crews were pleasantly surprized to observe consistent gold mineralization within the series of late-stage gold-dominant quartz-pyrite micro-breccia structures. We also reviewed and re-interpreted an earlier intercept from hole GS-24-185 that was initially thought to have been an off-set to Supercell-1C (SC-1C) but subsequent drilling confirmed that this 13.5 m intercept of 9.60 g/t AuEq belongs to Supercell-1D which lies directly below SC-1C as it appears to be an individual splay emanating from SC-1C as a new sub-parallel Supercell-1D (SC-1D). This newly discovered SC-1D was also intersected by drill hole GS-24-187 and yielded 3.0 m of 5.7 g/t AuEq.
Additionally, an 85 m northward step-out with hole GS-24-186 intersected 10.40 g/t AuEq over 1.5 m, within the SC-1A breccia zone, the uppermost micro-breccia system discovered to-date. Our wide-spaced step-out drilling was equally successful in expanding the CS-600 domain well outside the known area of the Goldstorm Deposit towards the northeast. Significant gold, copper and silver mineralization was encountered with the 150 m eastward step-out hole GS-24-185 (1.01 g/t AuEq over 200.5 m) and the 120 m northern step-out hole GS-24-187 that intersected 1.22 g/t AuEq over 115.5 m. Although the Goldstorm Deposit remains open in all directions and at depth, our priority focus is on the Supercell Complex.
This system holds great potential for enhancing the economic advantage of the Treaty Creek Project. The Goldstorm Deposit now contains a high-grade component that can be traced for over 800 m along a northern axis with a moderate westward dipping axis that measures over 400m. Our goal is to expand the limits of the four newly discovered Supercell structures to maximize the economic potential of these gold-dominant breccia systems as a possible starter mine, and to gain access to the CS-600 domain by utilizing the same infrastructure required to potentially mine the Supercell material. It is unknown if we will ever reach the limits of the Goldstorm Deposit as our technical team will concentrate all efforts on the high-grade portions of the Deposit. We plan to review other gold-dominant sub-domains such as R-66 and 300N that appear to have similar structural controls, and are composed of similar quartz-pyrite micro-breccia veinlets, to hopefully add to the growing high-grade gold story of the Goldstorm Deposit at Treaty Creek, within the heart of the Golden Triangle."

American Creek's JV Partner Tudor Announces Filing of NI 43-101 Technical Report on the Updated Mineral Resource Estimate for the Goldstorm Deposit at the Treaty Creek Project, British Columbia
Cardston, Alberta--(Newsfile Corp. - April 9, 2024) - American Creek Resources Ltd. (TSXV: AMK) (OTCQB: ACKRF) ("the Corporation" or "American Creek") is pleased to announce that project operator and JV partner Tudor Gold ("Tudor") has filed the technical report (the "Report") for the updated Mineral Resource Estimate on the Goldstorm Deposit (the "MRE" or "2024 Treaty Creek MRE") at the flagship Treaty Creek Project (the "Project") located in the Golden Triangle region of British Columbia. The Report is entitled "NI 43-101 Technical Report, Treaty Creek Project, British Columbia", with an effective date of April 5, 2024 and was prepared for Tudor Gold by Garth Kirkham Geosystems and JDS Energy & Mining Inc. ("JDS"). The Report is available under the Tudor's profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com or from the Tudor's website at www.tudor-gold.com.
Highlights of the 2024 Updated Mineral Resource Estimate for the Goldstorm Deposit:
Increased the Indicated Mineral Resource by 19% in gold equivalent ounces (AuEQ), consisting of a 16% increase in gold (Au), 14% increase in silver (Ag) and 32% increase in copper (Cu).
Indicated Mineral Resource of 27.87 million ounces (Moz) of AuEQ within 730.20 million tonnes (Mt) at a grade of 1.19 g/t AuEQ; comprised of:
21.66 Moz of Au at 0.92 g/t, 128.73 Moz of Ag at 5.48 g/t, and 2.87 billion pounds (Blbs) of Cu at 0.18%.
Inferred Mineral Resource of 6.03 Moz of AuEQ within 149.61 Mt at a grade of 1.25 g/t AuEQ; comprised of:
4.88 Moz of Au at 1.01 g/t, 28.97 Moz of Ag at 6.02 g/t, and 503.23 million pounds (Mlbs) of Cu at 0.15%.
The CS-600 domain, comprised of a monzodiorite intrusive stock and associated gold-copper porphyry system, constitutes a large part of the deposit with an Indicated Mineral Resource of 15.65 Moz of AuEQ within 400.29 Mt at a grade of 1.22 g/t AuEQ; consisting of:
9.99 Moz of Au at 0.78 g/t; and 2.73 Blbs of Cu at 0.31%.
An 58% increase in the AuEQ ounces within the CS-600 domain.
The 2023 drilling improved our geologic understanding of the mineralization in the northern portion of the deposit. The NS-STK Domain was reinterpreted to be a NE-SW trending stockwork and is associated with the 300H Domain mineralization. This system has now been separated into its own mineral domain, named 300N.
Advanced metallurgical studies and refined the pit constrained and underground cutoff grades, increasing the pit constrained cutoff from 0.5 to 0.7 g/t AuEQ and the underground cutoff from 0.7 to 0.75 g/t AuEQ.
Substantially reduced the pit size which eliminated the necessity to remove the glacier and reduced the strip ratio.
The Goldstorm Deposit remains open to the south, north, northeast and at depth.

The Best of Both Worlds – Can You Really Have a District Scale Deposit and High-Grade?
2 days ago Resource World - March 11, 2024
... “If we could have the best of both worlds, we’d have heaven right here on Earth” ... Ken Konkin (President of Tudor Gold – TSX-V: TUD), thinks he may be getting close with the Treaty Creek project on which he just released an updated Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE). That’s because it might just have “the best of both worlds” when it comes to gold deposits: scale and grade.
SCALE:
To be sure, his deposit, called the Goldstorm (an apt name if there ever was one), is a behemoth coming in at 27.87 million ounces (Moz) of AuEQ Indicated at a grade of 1.19 g/t AuEQ with an additional 6.03 Moz of AuEQ Inferred Mineral Resource at a grade of 1.25 g/t AuEQ. All combined, that’s a staggering 26.5 Moz gold, 157.7 Moz silver, and 3.37 billion pounds (Blbs) of Copper. Oh, and apparently, it’s open in all directions! Konkin says that as they’ve been expanding the Goldstorm to the north, the grades continue to increase, which accounts for why the last two MRE updates have increased in both size and grade. He’s expecting more of the same for the 2024 drill program, which is restricted to the summertime as it’s located in British Columbia’s Golden Triangle. “We haven’t come through the center of the system yet,” says Konkin. “The grades are getting stronger.”
The Goldstorm deposit is now one of the largest undeveloped gold deposits in the world and is sandwiched between two other mineralized zones on Treaty Creek of similar potential: the Calm Before the Storm (CBS) and the Perfectstorm (PS) [anyone see a theme emerging here?]. All three are part of a much bigger geological system called the Sulphurets Hydrothermal System (SHS) that also incorporates the KSM deposits (Seabridge Gold – TSX: SEA), which host the largest undeveloped gold deposit in the world by reserves. Talk about potential.
GRADE:
As it turns out, the Goldstorm is actually comprised of four major domains and three minor ones, and the latest one, called the Supercell One (SC-1) [sticking with the theme here], has about ten times the system’s average grade. While they haven’t defined it yet, so far, it stretches over 500 meters and has intercepts like 15.64 g/t AuEq over 15m, 9.96 g/t AuEq over 25.5m, and 10.07 g/t AuEq over 12m.
Like the rest of the system, the grades of the SC-1 are getting richer as they approach a major fault to the north. It’s suspected that this fault is a primary source of the mineralization which disseminated as it flowed to the south. The drilling at Goldstorm started in the south and the grades have increased consistently as it’s been drilled further north each year. The upcoming fault, approximately 500m further north, could be the northern boundary of the deposit, but if the past is the best indicator of the future, the grades will increase to that point.
Konkin thinks that the SC-1 could already represent anywhere between two and a half to three million ounces of high-grade gold and that it’s likely there are several “Supercells” to be discovered as they approach the fault, they think is a primary source of these metals.
“Not only do we have this broad, very consistent, homogeneous, porphyry style mineralization, we have… think of a thunderstorm with lightning bolts going through it like a supercell going through a thunderstorm. We have several lightning bolts. These (bolts) are post Goldstorm deposit, energized, enriched gold events coming through (the deposit),” states Konkin.
Konkin points out that the high grades of the SC-1 zone are not included in the MRE. At this stage, they don’t know how big the SC-1 is, or how many supercells there are, for that matter. The 2024 drill program should help answer that as it’s been designed to reveal what lies in the last 500m before the fault. If Konkin is right about it potentially containing millions of ounces of gold at something north of 10 g/t AuEq, it could already be a game changer for the upcoming Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) that Tudor gold is working towards.

American Creek's JV Partner Tudor Gold Provides Review of Its 2023 Drill Program at Treaty Creek, Golden Triangle, British Columbia
Cardston, Alberta--(Newsfile Corp. - February 15, 2024) - American Creek Resources Ltd. (TSXV: AMK) ("the Corporation" or "American Creek") is pleased to announce that project operator and JV partner Tudor Gold ("Tudor") has provided the following review of the 2023 drill program (the "Program") at the flagship property, Treaty Creek, located in the heart of the Golden Triangle of Northwestern British Columbia.
The Program consisted of a total of 31,904 meters (m) drilled over 25 holes within the Goldstorm Deposit (the "Goldstorm Deposit") and 8 holes at the Perfectstorm Zone ("PSZ"). The primary focus of drilling within the Goldstorm area was twofold: to upgrade much of the Inferred Mineral Resources to the Indicated Mineral Resource category and to extend the boundaries of the deposit towards the north and northeast. Drilling at PSZ concentrated on expanding on the known mineralized zone by targeting both the southwestern and northeastern regions, which are approximately 1500 m apart.
Highlights of the Program include:
Step-out and infill drilling continued to consistently intersect strong gold, copper and silver mineralization outside the previously defined resource area of the Goldstorm Deposit to depth and along the northeastern axis by 250 m to 350 m to the north and northeast;
Drilled a number of new high-grade intercepts within and outside the boundaries of the Goldstorm Deposit. Notably, hole GS-23-179, a 200 m step-out to the northeast of the CS-600 Domain. This hole returned an intercept of 525.0 m of 1.01 g/t AuEQ (0.85 g/t Au, 1.94 g/t Ag, 0.13 % Cu) which included a higher-grade interval of 223.5 m of 1.42 g/t AuEQ (1.16 g/t Au, 2.25 g/t Ag, 0.19 % Cu) that included 43.5 m of 3.73 g/t AuEQ (3.52 g/t Au, 2.18 g/t Ag, 0.16 % Cu) and 12.0 m of 10.07 g/t AuEQ (9.78 g/t Au, 1.35 g/t Ag, 0.23 % Cu);1
Encountered stronger than expected copper grades within the CS-600 Domain of the Goldstorm Deposit, notably hole GS-23-168-W1, which targeted the deep, northwest portion of the CS-600 Domain. The hole intersected an area classified as an Inferred Mineral Resource in the previous Mineral Resource Estimate. Prior to entering the CS-600, a mineralized section of 75.0 m of 1.34 g/t AuEQ (1.27 g/t Au, 5.89 g/t Ag, 0.01 % Cu) was cut, and this is interpreted to be the 300H Domain, or related mineral system. A long intercept of CS-600 included 296.0 m of 1.11 g/t AuEQ (0.65 g/t Au, 5.03 g/t Ag, 0.35 % Cu) with an enriched intercept of 102.0 m grading 1.30 g/t AuEQ (0.64 g/t Au, 7.39 g/t Ag, 0.50 % Cu);2

American Creek's JV Partner Tudor Gold Identifies High-Grade Gold Breccia System at the Goldstorm Deposit, Treaty Creek, Golden Triangle British Columbia
Cardston, Alberta--(Newsfile Corp. - February 2, 2024) - American Creek Resources Ltd. (TSXV: AMK) ("the Corporation" or "American Creek") is pleased to announce that project operator and JV partner Tudor Gold ("Tudor") has provided an update on the recent identification of a high-grade gold system within the Goldstorm Deposit and a brief overview of the successful expansion of the Goldstorm Domains from the 2023 drill program (the "Program") at the flagship property, Treaty Creek, located in the heart of the Golden Triangle of Northwestern British Columbia.
Ken Konkin, Tudor Gold President and CEO, commented: "We are extremely pleased to announce that we have delineated a high-grade gold system associated with a quartz-dominant veinlet and stringer stockwork system, named Supercell One (SC-1). This represents a significant economic target within the CS-600 domain. Our current Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) caps gold equivalent (AuEQ) grades at 8.0 g/t AuEQ and therefore does not include these higher grades. Our current concept is that the SC-1 system, like the higher-grade R-66 domain, may represent a late-stage gold-dominant event that, in part, over prints the primary mineralization of the Goldstorm Deposit. This is significant, as these smaller, higher-grade systems have the potential to streamline start-up plans, allowing for rapid extraction of gold with the possibility of substantially lower capital expenditures compared to a much larger conceptual bulk tonnage operation.
"Additionally, our technical team has completed the geologic modelling and domain delineation with the incorporation of the 2023 drilling data. Updated mineral domains show significant expansion of the Goldstorm Deposit in several areas. (plan maps and cross sections of the SC-1 and the expanded domains). These maps indicate how the drilling conducted in 2023 has the potential to convert several areas of the deposit from Inferred Mineral Resources to Indicated Mineral Resources. Despite the aggressive exploration and expansion of the Goldstorm Deposit, it remains open in all directions and at depth. The Company is currently in the process of updating the MRE for the Goldstorm Deposit and is expected to release the updated MRE within Q1 of 2024."
Drill-hole highlights from SC-1 include the following intercepts:
GS-22-134: 25.5 m of 9.96 g/t AuEQ (9.66 g/t Au, 1.23 g/t Ag, 0.24 % Cu)
GS-23-176-W1: 15.0 m of 15.64 g/t AuEQ (14.89 g/t Au, 4.72 g/t Ag, 0.60 % Cu)
GS-23-179: 12.0 m of 10.07 g/t AuEQ (9.78 g/t Au, 1.35 g/t Ag, 0.23 % Cu)

American Creek's JV Partner Tudor Gold Intersects 123 meters of 3.51 g/t AuEq Within 601.5 meters of 1.4 g/t AuEq at the Goldstorm Deposit, Treaty Creek, Golden Triangle British Columbia
Cardston, Alberta--(Newsfile Corp. - November 29, 2023) - American Creek Resources Ltd. (TSXV: AMK) (OTCQB: ACKRF) ("the Corporation" or "American Creek") is pleased to announce that project operator and JV partner Tudor Gold ("Tudor") has produced the sixth set of drill results for the 2023 exploration program (the "Program") at the flagship property, Treaty Creek, located in the heart of the Golden Triangle of Northwestern British Columbia.
Tudor has safely and successfully completed the 2023 drilling program with a total of 31,904 meters (m) drilled within areas encompassing the Goldstorm Deposit (the Deposit) and the Perfectstorm Zone. The assay results reported in this release are from three drill holes that targeted the northeastern area of the Deposit however, only two were successfully completed: GS-23-176-W1 and GS-23-177. Drill hole GS-23-176 was terminated due to unfavorable deviation and was re-drilled as wedge hole GS-23-176-W1 which did reach the intended target area. The Goldstorm Deposit remains open in all directions and at depth. Click to view plan map and cross sections.
Ken Konkin, Tudor Gold President and CEO, commented: "We are very pleased to announce the continuing expansion and definition of the Goldstorm domains in the northeastern sector of the Deposit. Three of the largest mineralized domains, including 300H, CS-600 and DS5, reported excellent results from these latest drill holes. The highlight of the 2023 program is the remarkable continuation of higher grades of gold, copper and silver throughout the northern aspect of the Goldstorm Deposit. One of the best-looking mineralized areas of the Deposit to date is the lower CS-600 domain within GS-23-176-W1, which returned 273.75 m of 2.19 g/t AuEQ (1.98 g/t Au, 3.30 g/t Ag, 0.15 % Cu) that includes an enriched central core that averaged 3.51 g/t AuEQ (3.23 g/t Au, 5.57 g/t Ag, 0.19 % Cu) over 123.0 m. An interval of higher -than-average gold values was intersected near the end of GS-23-176-W1 that was associated with narrow quartz veinlets with minor disseminated pyrite; this is interpreted to be part of the DS5 domain, which may extend to greater depths than previously thought. If possible, Tudor may extend this hole during the 2024 drill program to determine if there is a continuation to the lower 27 meters of mineralization that averaged 2.41 g/t AuEQ near the bottom of this hole.

American Creek's JV Partner Tudor Gold Discovers New Gold System at the Perfectstorm Zone, Treaty Creek Gold-Copper-Silver Project, Golden Triangle British Columbia; Drills 102.15 m of 1.28 g/t AuEq in Drill Hole PS-23-10 Including 42.5 m of 1.87 g/t AuEq
Cardston, Alberta--(Newsfile Corp. - October 31, 2023) - American Creek Resources Ltd. (TSXV: AMK) (OTCQB: ACKRF) ("the Corporation" or "American Creek") is pleased to announce that project operator and JV partner Tudor Gold ("Tudor") has produced the fourth set of drill results for the 2023 exploration program (the "Program") at the flagship property, Treaty Creek, located in the heart of the Golden Triangle of Northwestern British Columbia.
Tudor has safely and successfully completed the 2023 drilling program with a total of 31,904 meters (m) drilled within areas encompassing the Goldstorm Deposit and the Perfectstorm Zone. The assay results reported in this release are from six drill holes that targeted both the southwestern and the northeastern areas of the Perfectstorm Zone (PSZ) located approximately 1500 m apart.
Ken Konkin, Tudor Gold President and CEO, commented: "Tudor Gold's technical team has done an outstanding job with this year's drill program at Treaty Creek. Not only have we significantly expanded the known boundaries of the Goldstorm Deposit, but we have also successfully confirmed the existence of the Perfectstorm System with holes that are spaced over a distance of 1,500 meters. We believe that we have intersected the upper extremity of yet another porphyry system that lies approximately two kilometres southwest of our Goldstorm Au-Cu-Ag Deposit. Typically, copper mineralization is encountered deeper within the known deposits along the Sulphurets-Treaty Thrust Fault trend. Our intersections reported in this news release occur much higher in elevation than the copper-rich zones encountered at Goldstorm. We have observed gold and silver-dominant mineralization in the uppermost parts of the southwestern holes of the Perfectstorm System with copper mineralization occurring in the deeper parts of the northeastern holes.
"Our current geological interpretation is that the system lies peripheral to the intense magnetic anomaly that has been detected under the Treaty Glacier to the southeast of the drill holes. Previous drilling undertaken between the two areas reported in this news release may have been on the periphery of stronger mineralization, such as that which we discovered in drill hole PS-23-10. Previous holes were oriented to the northwest, whereas those holes drilled this year in the opposite direction have revealed wider and more strongly mineralized intervals, such as 1.28 g/t AuEQ (1.23 g/t Au, 3.43 g/t Ag, 0.01 % Cu) over 102.15 meters in PS-23-10. The upper 42.5 meters of this intercept yielded 1.87 g/t AuEQ (1.80 g/t Au, 5.76 g/t Ag, 0.02 % Cu). The Perfectstorm System adds a new dimension to the geological potential of the Treaty Creek Project with the addition of yet another bulk-tonnage Au-Cu-Ag target. Included in the impressive intercepts were some high-grade gold-silver veins that are interpreted as late-stage overprinted mineralization, similar to that observed at the Goldstorm Deposit throughout the 300H and CS-600 domains. Grades as high as 444.0 g/t silver and 24.7 g/t gold were intersected over 1.5 m intervals within holes PS-23-07 and PS-23-10 respectively. We are very excited in our anticipation of yet another potentially massive bulk tonnage Au-Cu-Ag system, with high-grade Au-Ag overprinting, on our exploration horizon."
Darren Blaney, CEO of American Creek, stated: "The Tudor team, led by Ken Konkin, is to be congratulated on executing an extremely successful 2023 Treaty Creek exploration program. Not only is the Goldstorm deposit significantly expanding in size, but the metals grade is also getting better and better. Remarkably, it also now appears that we have the makings of a second world-scale gold-copper-silver deposit on the Treaty Creek property. It's very satisfying and encouraging to see the drilling begin to confirm what the geology and geophysics were indicating at the Perfectstorm. The potential of the Treaty Creek project continues to impress and exceed all prior expectations."
Section A (Northeast PSZ)
PS-23-11: Drilled on section with the original 2020 PSZ drill holes, PS-20-01 and PS-20-02, to explore the down dip projection of the open mineralized trend. A new gold-bearing zone was intersected near surface returning 136.0 m of 0.71 g/t AuEQ (0.69 g/t Au, 1.26 g/t Ag), that included 23.4 m of 1.75 g/t AuEQ (1.74 g/t Au, 0.90 g/t Ag), as well as 20.1 m of 1.34 g/t AuEQ (1.30 g/t Au, 4.21 g/t Ag). Further downhole, porphyry mineralization that had been observed in the 2020 holes was encountered, extending the lower zone 200 m to the northwest with an interval of 138.95 m of 0.52 g/t AuEQ (0.43 g/t Au, 4.99 g/t Ag, 0.04 % Cu).
PS-23-12: Drilled in the opposite direction along the same section line to continue exploring the lower porphyry gold-silver-copper zone. This hole intersected 122.0 m of 0.71 g/t AuEQ (0.61 g/t Au, 2.96 g/t Ag, 0.06 % Cu), including an enriched interval of 10.5 m of 3.07 g/t AuEQ (2.63 g/t Au, 3.68 g/t Ag, 0.34 % Cu). This intercept is located 150 m to the southeast from the 2020 drill holes and expands the lower NE PSZ mineralization to a drilled length of 500 m.
Section B (Southwest PSZ)
PS-23-07: Drilled as a 400 m step-out from 2021 PSZ drill hole PS-21-06, to continue exploring and expanding the system to the southwest. This drill hole intersected intermittent mineralized quartz-carbonate veins in the upper part, followed by a 27.0 m wide mineralized shear zone, from 541.0 to 568.0 m down hole, which assayed 1.34 g/t AuEQ (1.02 g/t Au, 30.13 g/t Ag, 0.02 % Cu). One 1.5 m sample returned 444.0 g/t Ag with native silver observed in the drill core.
PS-23-08: Drilled on the same section to explore to the northwest and to define the stratigraphy and structures of the area. This drill hole intersected multiple mineralized vein zones, two of which returned 15.0 m of 1.19 g/t AuEQ (1.15 g/t Au, 2.83 g/t Au, 0.02 % Cu), and 9.0 m of 0.93 g/t AuEQ (0.90 g/t Au, 1.66 g/t Ag, 0.01 % Cu) at a shallow depth of 154.5 m down hole.
PS-23-09: Drilled to further define the vein zones and structures observed in hole PS-23-08. Multiple mineralized zones were intersected, including 18.0 m of 0.98 g/t AuEQ (0.96 g/t Au, 1.84 g/t Ag, 0.01 % Cu), and 33.0 m of 0.77 g/t AuEQ (0.74 g/t Au, 1.63 g/t Ag, 0.01 % Cu).
PS-23-10: Drilled at a relatively shallow dip to the south to explore for extension of the mineralized zone encountered in drill hole PS-23-07. This hole intersected 102.15 m of 1.28 g/t AuEQ (1.23 g/t Au, 3.43 g/t Ag, 0.01 % Cu) including two enriched zones comprising 42.5 m of 1.87 g/t AuEQ (1.80 g/t Au, 5.76 g/t Ag, 0.02 % Cu), and 25.5 m of 1.60 g/t AuEQ (1.58 g/t Au, 1.81 g/t Ag, 0.01 % Cu). Further downhole a high-grade vein zone was intersected and returned 1.5 m of 24.70 g/t gold. These results are the highest gold grades seen at PSZ to date and they are located between the Goldstorm Deposit, 3 km to the northeast, and Seabridge Gold's Iron-Cap Deposit, 2.5 km to the southwest.

American Creek's JV Partner Tudor Gold Commences Drilling at Perfectstorm Zone and Provides Update at Treaty Creek Property, Golden Triangle British Columbia
Cardston, Alberta--(Newsfile Corp. - September 28, 2023) - American Creek Resources Ltd. (TSXV: AMK) ("the Corporation" or "American Creek") is pleased to announce that project operator and JV partner Tudor Gold ("Tudor") has commenced drilling at the Perfectstorm Zone as part of the ongoing 25,000-meter (m) diamond drill program (the "Program") at Treaty Creek (the "Property"), situated in the heart of the Golden Triangle in northwestern British Columbia. Since the beginning of this year's Program, Tudor has successfully completed over 10,000 m of drilling, including infill and step-out holes within the area that encompasses the Goldstorm Deposit.
Tudor Gold currently has six drill-rigs in operation with four of these drill-rigs continuing to target mineralization at the Goldstorm Deposit. An additional drill rig was mobilized to test the northeastern extents of the Goldstorm Deposit, while the 6th drill rig is focused on the Perfectstorm Zone.

Ken Konkin, Tudor Gold's President and CEO, commented: "We are very excited to begin drilling at Perfectstorm, which is positioned equidistant between Tudor Gold's Goldstorm Deposit and Seabridge Gold's Iron Cap Deposit (click to see Treaty Creek Property Map). Drilling at Perfectstorm will build upon the progress made through previous initial drilling of six wide-spaced drill holes spanning a strike length of 1.3 kilometers. These holes successfully intercepted substantial widths of favorable gold, silver, and copper mineralization. Notable results include hole PS-21-06, which encountered 118.6 m averaging 0.66 g/t gold. These results include an uppermost portion averaging 0.84 g/t gold over 59.9 m. Given that only a small portion of the targeted magnetic anomaly has been explored at Perfectstorm, there is immense potential for a significant expansion of the mineralized area, thus making it a valuable addition to the Treaty Creek Project. The first of several planned drill holes will be collared at least 400 m west and west-northwest of PS-21-06 over the best surficial gold-geochemical rock sample results obtained from our last two years of surficial mapping and sampling programs (click to see the Perfectstorm plan map and cross-section).
"Additionally, the drilling program at the Goldstorm Deposit has progressed exceptionally well this season. Several early 150 to 200-m step-out holes in the northern and northeastern area have intersected substantial sulphide and sulfosalt mineralization. As a result, the technical team has decided to construct new drill pads up to 300 m to the northeast, to target the potential extension of the deposit with the fifth drill rig. The expansion of the CS-600 and DS5 domains in this direction indicates further growth opportunities for the project as we are now drilling at full capacity with all six drill-rigs."
Tudor will provide results from the Program once the final assays are received and compiled.

American Creek's JV Partner Tudor Gold Intersects 1.48 g/t AuEQ over 210m Within 516m Grading 1.19 g/t AuEQ, Outside the Goldstorm Deposit Mineral Resource Area at the Treaty Creek Property, Golden Triangle British Columbia
Cardston, Alberta--(Newsfile Corp. - August 16, 2023) - American Creek Resources Ltd. (TSXV: AMK) ("the Corporation" or "American Creek") is pleased to announce that project operator and JV partner Tudor Gold ("Tudor") has produced the second set of drill results for the 2023 exploration program (the "Program") at the flagship property, Treaty Creek, located in the heart of the Golden Triangle of Northwestern British Columbia.
Since the beginning of this year's Program, Tudor has successfully completed over 21,000 meters (m) of drilling, within areas encompassing the Goldstorm Deposit and the Perfectstorm Zone. The five drill holes reported in this release are located in the northeastern area of the Goldstorm Deposit.
Ken Konkin, Tudor's President and CEO, commented: "We are very pleased to confirm the continued expansion of the Goldstorm Deposit to the northeast. Results from our northeastern-most step-out drilling from section 120+50 NE will certainly expand the volume of the deposit with AuEQ values well above the 0.7 gpt AuEQ underground resource estimate cut-off grade used for our deposit. In addition, very large blocks within the previously estimated drill inferred category have been successfully intersected with very positive gold, copper and silver grades, which we believe will convert these blocks of mineralization into the drill Indicated category.
Our goal is to increase the size of the resource without diminishing the grade. This will be a critical component to the Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) that we plan to complete once we have totally defined the Goldstorm Deposit. We have completed five additional drill holes on the Goldstorm Deposit and three drill holes at the Perfectstorm target, which are currently in the lab. Results will be announced once they are received and compiled. Crews have begun construction of drill pads required to pursue the northern aspects of the CS-600, 300H and DS5 domains for the 2024 drill program; these are beyond the scope and the time available to drill within our planned 2023 program. Defining the shape and extent of each domain is necessary prior to determining a mine plan, which is essential for the PEA level and beyond."
