    Eureka Resources (TSXV:EUK) (“Eureka” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has completed an initial diamond drill exploration program at its Gold Creek Property (“Gold Creek” or the “Property”) located in the Cariboo Mining District, near Likely, British Columbia.
    Gold Creek was acquired by Eureka by way of an option agreement in November 2016. The Property consists of 33 mineral claims covering 9,673 hectares and is accessed via a well-maintained all-weather road.
    The 2017 drilling program consisted of 3 holes totalling 331 metres and was focused on a gold-bearing zone containing disseminated and high-grade vein-controlled gold mineralization. The gold is believed to be of orogenic nature and gold values are contained in the same Mesozoic sedimentary package as at Spanish Mountain, and as at the Company’s FG property 45 kms to the southeast. Eureka’s first drill program served as exploration and verification of the work conducted in 2008 and 2011 and will assist in designing future exploration programs in this area of the Property.


    Drill locations located in and around Spanish Mountain Gold Ltd. (TSXV: SPA) core storage area.

    Drilling was conducted in previously disturbed areas, thus mitigating environmental disturbance. The program utilized a diamond drill providing HQ diameter core to twin a historical RC drill hole which prematurely terminated in gold mineralization at 45.72 metres due to excessive water.
    In 2011, the previous operator drilled hole GC11-27 which has been twinned as part of the current program.

    Samples from Eureka’s 3 hole drill program have been sent to ALS Laboratories in North Vancouver for analysis and results will be released when received, compiled and interpreted.
    Kristian Whitehead, the Company’s VP Exploration stated, “Our initial drill program at Gold Creek was successful in reaching our exploration goals. We were able to effectively obtain important geological information, allowing us to build on previous work and to effectively plan future programs in this area of the Property”.
    With the completion of this drilling program, Eureka has satisfied its work commitment required to earn a 100% interest in the Gold Creek Property. Eureka will complete the earn-in by issuing 50,000 common shares on or before August 31, 2017 and an additional 100,000 common shares on or before August 31, 2018.  The vendor retains a 1% net smelter return royalty, half of which can be acquired by Eureka for $1,000,000.
