American Creek Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:AMK) ("the Corporation") announces
that its board of directors (the "Board") has adopted a shareholder rights plan
(the "Rights Plan"), which the shareholders of the Corporation (the
"Shareholders") approved at the annual general and special meeting of
Shareholders held on January 25, 2013. The adoption of the Rights Plan is not in
response to a proposal to acquire control of the Corporation. At this time, the
Corporation is not aware of any such transaction that would trigger the
provisions of the Rights Plan. 


The purpose of the Rights Plan is to give adequate time for Shareholders to
properly assess the merits of a bid without undue pressure and to allow
competing bids to emerge. The Rights Plan is designed to give the Board time to
consider alternatives to allow Shareholders to receive full and fair value for
their common shares in the capital of the Corporation (the "Common Shares"). The
adoption of the Rights Plan does not affect the duty of the Board to act
honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the Corporation
and its shareholders. 


The issuance of the rights under the Rights Plan will not alter the financial
condition of the Corporation. The issuance is not of itself dilutive, will not
affect reported earnings per Common Share and will not change the way in which
Shareholders would otherwise trade Common Shares. By permitting holders of
Rights other than an Acquiring Person (as defined in the Rights Plan) to acquire
Common Shares at a discount to market value, the Rights may cause substantial
dilution to a person or group that acquires 20% or more of the Common Shares of
the Corporation other than by way of a Permitted Bid (as defined in the Rights
Plan) or other than in circumstances where the Rights are redeemed or the Board
waives the application of the Rights Plan. 


The Rights Plan should provide adequate time for Shareholders to assess a bid
and to permit competing bids to emerge. It also gives the Board sufficient time
to explore other options. A potential bidder can avoid the dilutive features of
the Rights Plan by making a bid that conforms to the requirements of a Permitted
Bid. 


To qualify as a Permitted Bid, a take-over bid must be made for all Common
Shares and must be open for 60 days after the bid is made. If at least 50% of
the Common Shares held by persons independent of the bidder are deposited or
tendered pursuant to the bid and not withdrawn, the bidder may take up and pay
for such shares. The bid must then remain open for a further period of 10
business days on the same terms.
