American Creek's JV Partner Tudor Gold Increases Overall Gold Recoveries to over 80%, Produces a High-Grade Copper, Gold and Silver Concentrate for the Goldstorm Deposit at Treaty Creek, Golden Triangle of British Columbia
American Creek Resources (TSXV: AMK) (OTCQB: ACKRF) and JV partner Tudor Gold announced improved metallurgical test results for the Goldstorm Deposit at Treaty Creek, British Columbia. The latest testing on the Lower CS-600 sub-domain showed significant improvements in metal recovery rates:
- Flotation recoveries increased to 85.8% copper, 80.2% gold, and 58.1% silver
- Achieved high-grade copper concentrate of 30.3% copper, 36.5 g/t gold and 99.8 g/t silver
This represents a notable improvement from October 2024 results, particularly in gold recovery which increased from 63.8% to 80.2%. The company achieved these improved results through additional leaching steps and optimization of the flotation process. Tudor Gold is planning to construct a three-kilometer exploration ramp to efficiently drill test the newly discovered Supercell-1 high-grade gold complex.

Cardston, Alberta--(Newsfile Corp. - April 22, 2025) - 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 announced 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 Northwestern British Columbia.
Highlights from the recent follow-up metallurgical testing on the Lower CS-600 sub-domain included a significant increase in gold recovery:
Flotation recoveries and gold extraction within the Lower CS-600 sub-domain totaled up to
85.8% copper,80.2% gold, and58.1% silver.Flotation testing consistently achieved a high-grade copper concentrate of
30.3% copper, 36.5 g/t gold and 99.8 g/t silver.
In comparison, highlights from the previous metallurgical testing released October 25, 2024 on the Lower CS-600 sub-domain included:
Flotation recoveries within the Lower CS-600 sub-domain totaled up to
88.1% copper,63.8% gold, and51.3% 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 exceeds
29% copper with significant gold and silver grades of 33 g/t and 96 g/t, respectively.
Ken Konkin P.Geo, President & CEO of Tudor Gold commented: "We are very pleased with our second set of flotation test results obtained from the lower portion of the CS-600 Domain (CS-600L). We estimate more than
We conducted testing on the flotation tailings and pyrite concentrates by simply leaching these with cyanide. This added a substantial amount of gold, which increased the combined gold recovery to just over
Our technical team is currently completing elements of our next permit application to include the construction of an exploration ramp designed to intersect the area immediately adjacent to the CS-600 Domain and directly above the newly discovered SC-1 high-grade gold structures. The proposal is to construct a three-kilometer-long exploration ramp collared from our Lower Camp area that will allow us to more efficiently drill test the SC-1 complex. This is an important aspect of the Treaty Creek Project, as the added possibility of defining a high-grade, multi-million-ounce gold deposit would greatly enhance the economic potential of the project, since it would provide us with a much smaller Capex target to start the mine process."
The follow-up flotation program on the Lower CS-600 sub-domain focused on optimizing gold recovery. In addition to using the typical copper flowsheet to produce the saleable copper concentrate, cyanide leach of the flotation tails was investigated. Additionally, evaluation of a sequential copper-pyrite flowsheet was conducted, and cyanide leach of the pyrite concentrate at various grind sizes carried out. Further testwork to investigate the upside potential of gravity concentration as well as optimization of flotation and leach conditions has been recommended to further improve copper and gold recoveries.
Remaining samples from the original PJ-5434 and PJ-5473 CS600L testwork were used to further advance this gold optimization testwork. To maximize material, the remaining samples were blended from the two previous testwork campaigns and therefore cannot be taken as a direct comparison to the locked cycle testwork, however, provide a close comparison for discussion.

Metallurgical Test Work and Results:
Initial metallurgical testing carried out at Blue Coast Research, under the supervision of Fuse Advisors Inc. continued to demonstrate that a high-grade copper/gold concentrate could be produced from the Lower CS-600L domain along with increased gold recoveries through further processing of the flotation tails.
The following approaches to improving gold recovery were conducted:
Optimization of copper and sequential copper-pyrite flotation circuit for gold;
Evaluation of cyanide leach on the copper rougher flotation tails for gold extraction;
Evaluation of cyanide leach on the pyrite concentrate produced from sequential copper/pyrite flotation
Flotation Optimization:
A number of batch roughers tests were carried out to understand if gold recovery could be improved in the copper roughers or through sequential pyrite flotation. Further cleaner tests were conducted to understand the impact downstream. A summary of the tests completed can be found in Table 1.
F2/F3/F7 - Optimize gold recovery into the pyrite concentrate by investigating some of the following parameters: Collector dosage, flotation time, copper sulphate addition
F4 - Investigate the impacts of floating more pyrite into the copper concentrate.
Natural pH in the rougher circuit, collector dosage
F6/F8 - Cleaner tests to investigate how pulling additional pyrite into the rougher concentrate effects gold and copper cleaning
