RE: RE: RE: RE: Grasping at straws! Treaty Creek QA/QC
All 2009 Treaty Creek drill holes were surveyed using a down-hole EZ-Shot probe to monitor drillhole deviations. All 2007 and 2009 drill collars were surveyed by a certified independent surveyor, using a Leica GS50 differential GPS with less than 10cm precision. The QA/QC protocol system employed during the 2009 exploration program included procedures for monitoring the chain-of-custody of samples and the insertion of blanks and reference standard samples in every batch of samples. Cross-check analyses were conducted at a second external laboratory (ALS Chemex Laboratories in Vancouver, BC) from blind duplicate samples. Drill core samples were assayed at Eco-Tech Laboratory Ltd., in Kamloops, BC using fire assay and atomic adsorption finish methods for gold, aqua regia digestion with ICP finish methods for other elements, and ore grade aqua regia digestion with AA finish for specific mineralized intervals. Specific gravity for density measurements was also determined in the assay procedures.
American Creek holds a 51% interest in the Treaty Creek Project with Teuton holding the remaining 49%. Under the terms of the Option Agreement with Teuton, American Creek has elected to earn an additional 9% interest (for an aggregate total of 60%) by making all expenditures necessary to bring the project to feasibility. American Creek is the operator of the project. Exploration activities are being conducted by American Creek personnel under the supervision of Raul Sanabria, M.Sc., EurGeol., P.Geo., Vice President, Exploration.
As previously stated, the Treaty Creek Project is located directly north of and adjacent to the KSM project held by Seabridge. Seabridge's proposed development concept for the KSM deposit includes constructing twin tunnels to transport ore through the heart of the Treaty Creek property. Seabridge presently has no legal interest in the Treaty Creek mineral claims. Access would be granted by American Creek and Teuton only on terms maximizing value to their respective shareholders.
