Cardston, Alberta--(Newsfile Corp. - August 6, 2024) - American Creek Resources Ltd. (TSXV: AMK) (OTCQB: ACKRF) (the "Company" or "American Creek") provides an update relating to its news release of June 6, 2024, in which it announced that it has entered into a non-binding and arm's length letter of intent ("LOI") with Cunningham Mining Ltd. ("Cunningham"), whereby Cunningham, or a subsidiary of Cunningham, proposes to acquire all of the issued and outstanding securities of the Company at a share price of $0.43 payable in cash (the "Proposed Transaction").

The August 5, 2024, Cunningham news release can be viewed HERE.

Consequently, the parties are now working on negotiating and finalizing a Definitive Agreement and as such, have extended the exclusivity period under the LOI to 4:00 p.m. (Vancouver Time) on September 5, 2024.

Darren Blaney, CEO of American Creek, commented: "We are pleased to see this proposed deal continuing to move forward with Cunningham. They really need to be commended for recognizing the value of American Creek's 20% carried interest in the Goldstorm deposit, and the mineral potential of the Treaty Creek Project as a whole. Cunningham has shown both foresight and a pioneering mindset with respect to the rapidly expanding global tokenization trend, as well as a focus in aligning and merging tokenization with the mining sector."

In that negotiations are ongoing, the Company cannot provide any assurance that it will be able to agree on the final terms of the Definitive Agreement with Cunningham. Any Proposed Transaction will be subject to, among other conditions, completion of due diligence by Cunningham, negotiation of the Definitive Agreement, a recommendation of the Special Committee appointed by the Company's Board, and approval by the Board. Approvals will also be required from shareholders of the Company, the Supreme Court of British Columbia (in accordance with the BC Business Corporations Act), and the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSXV"). The Proposed Transaction will also be conditional upon such other customary closing conditions that may be included in the Definitive Agreement. If a Definitive Agreement is executed, the Company expects that it will be required to hold a special meeting (the "Special Meeting") of the Company's shareholders to approve the Proposed Transaction. The Proposed Transaction is subject to receipt of the foregoing approvals and other customary closing conditions. Terms and conditions of the Proposed Transaction are expected to be disclosed in greater detail in a management information circular for the Special Meeting (the "Circular"). Following execution of the Definitive Agreement, a Circular will be delivered to the Company's shareholders. In the event that the Company executes a Definitive Agreement with Cunningham, copies of such Definitive Agreement and a Circular for the Special Meeting will be filed with Canadian securities regulators. Documents filed by the Company with Canadian securities regulators are available on the SEDAR+ profile of the Company at www.sedarplus.ca. Shareholders are urged to read any relevant materials when they become available. However, Shareholders do not need to take any action with respect to the Proposed Transaction at this time.
