Company Description
American Creek Resources Ltd. (OTCQB: ACKRF) was a Canadian junior mineral exploration company active in the gold ore mining industry within the broader mining, quarrying, and oil and gas extraction sector. The company’s shares traded on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol AMK and on the OTCQB under the symbol ACKRF.
According to multiple company news releases, American Creek focused on mineral exploration in British Columbia, Canada, with an emphasis on gold and silver projects. It described itself as a Canadian junior mineral exploration company with gold and silver properties in British Columbia and highlighted its participation in one of the region’s notable exploration projects.
Corporate transformation and acquisition by Tudor Gold
American Creek underwent a significant corporate change through a statutory plan of arrangement with Tudor Gold Corp. Under an arrangement completed effective at 12:01 a.m. (Vancouver time) on September 4, 2025, Tudor Gold acquired all of the issued and outstanding common shares of American Creek. Following completion of this arrangement, American Creek became a wholly owned subsidiary of Tudor Gold Corp.
Under the terms of the transaction, each American Creek shareholder received 0.238 of a common share of Tudor for each American Creek share held. Options to purchase American Creek shares were exchanged for replacement Tudor options based on the same exchange ratio, and outstanding warrants of American Creek remained outstanding as warrants of American Creek but became exercisable for Tudor shares at the same exchange ratio in lieu of American Creek shares.
In connection with the closing of the arrangement, American Creek announced that its shares were expected to be delisted from the TSX Venture Exchange and the OTCQB at the close of trading on September 5, 2025. The company also stated its intention to apply to securities regulators to cease to be a reporting issuer and to terminate its public reporting obligations. As a result, the ACKRF symbol represents a company that has been acquired and is no longer an independent public issuer, although American Creek continues to exist as a subsidiary within the Tudor Gold corporate group.
Core assets and project interests
Prior to the completion of the arrangement with Tudor Gold, American Creek’s primary asset exposure was tied to the Treaty Creek Project, located in British Columbia’s prolific “Golden Triangle.” In multiple news releases, American Creek described itself as a proud partner in the Treaty Creek Project, a joint venture with Tudor Gold Corp. The project is situated in an area that hosts producing and past-producing mines and several large deposits that are approaching potential development.
American Creek held a fully carried 20% interest in the Treaty Creek Project until a production notice is given. The company stated that this structure meant it did not incur exploration or development costs on the project until such time as a production notice is issued. American Creek characterized this carried interest as providing shareholders with exposure to the Treaty Creek asset without bearing exploration cost dilution. The project hosts the Goldstorm Deposit, described as a large gold-copper porphyry system with several other mineralized zones, and is operated by Tudor Gold as project operator.
In addition to its Treaty Creek interest, American Creek reported that it held the Austruck-Bonanza gold property located near Kamloops, British Columbia. Across several releases, the company referenced this property as part of its portfolio of gold-focused exploration assets in the province.
Joint venture structure and Treaty Creek partnership
American Creek’s disclosures describe the Treaty Creek Project as a joint venture in which Tudor Gold owns three-fifths and acts as operator, while American Creek and Teuton Resources each hold a one-fifth interest. This creates a 3:1 ownership relationship between Tudor Gold and American Creek. American Creek and Teuton are described as holding fully carried 20% interests, meaning they do not incur development costs until a production notice is issued.
The company emphasized that this carried interest gave its shareholders a unique opportunity to maintain full 20% exposure to what it referred to as a significant project while avoiding the dilutive effects of funding exploration. American Creek’s news releases also noted that the Treaty Creek Project hosts the Goldstorm Deposit, a large gold-copper porphyry system with multiple mineral domains, and that further exploration drilling was required to determine the size and extent of the deposit. Technical details and resource estimates for the Goldstorm Deposit are attributed in the releases to an NI 43-101 technical report prepared for the project.
Financing and corporate actions
American Creek’s news flow prior to the acquisition by Tudor Gold included financing and corporate actions typical of junior exploration companies. For example, the company announced a non-brokered private placement of units, with each unit consisting of one common share and one common share purchase warrant, to raise funds for general working capital. It later reported the closing of a fully subscribed non-brokered private placement, including the issuance of units and payment of cash and warrant-based finder’s fees, subject to regulatory hold periods and TSX Venture Exchange policies.
The company also reported granting incentive stock options to directors, officers, and consultants under its rolling 10% stock option plan, and approving a repricing of certain outstanding incentive options, subject to TSX Venture Exchange approval and, for insider-held options, disinterested shareholder approval. These actions were described as being conducted under the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange and the company’s shareholder-approved stock option plan.
Plan of arrangement process
The acquisition by Tudor Gold followed a sequence of steps disclosed in American Creek’s news releases. The parties first entered into a binding letter of intent under which Tudor would acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of American Creek by way of a plan of arrangement. The letter of intent set out the proposed exchange ratio of 0.238 Tudor shares for each American Creek share and described that existing American Creek shareholders would own a minority interest in the combined company upon completion.
Subsequently, American Creek announced a definitive arrangement agreement with Tudor Gold, confirming the exchange ratio and structure of the transaction. The arrangement was to be completed under Division 5 of Part 9 of the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) and required approval by American Creek shareholders and the Supreme Court of British Columbia, as well as regulatory approvals, including TSX Venture Exchange approval.
American Creek mailed a management information circular and related materials to shareholders in advance of its annual general and special meeting to approve the arrangement and other matters. The company later reported that the special resolution to approve the plan of arrangement was overwhelmingly approved by shareholders and minority shareholders and that it had obtained the final court order from the Supreme Court of British Columbia approving the arrangement. The closing of the arrangement was then completed as disclosed, resulting in American Creek becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of Tudor Gold.
Status of ACKRF ticker and historical context
In its news releases, American Creek stated that, upon closing of the transaction with Tudor Gold, it was expected that American Creek’s common shares would be delisted from the TSX Venture Exchange and that the company would cease to be a reporting issuer under applicable Canadian securities laws. It also indicated that the AMK shares were expected to be delisted from the TSX Venture Exchange and the OTCQB at the close of trading on September 5, 2025.
As a result, the ACKRF symbol is associated with a company that has been acquired and is no longer independently traded on those markets, although American Creek continues as a corporate entity within the Tudor Gold group. For investors and researchers, the ACKRF listing and related disclosures now serve primarily as a historical record of American Creek’s activities as a junior mineral exploration company and its role in the Treaty Creek joint venture prior to its acquisition.
