2006 Drill program identifies the B.C. Vein structure and spatially associated pyritic mineralization at Westport Gold Project, Barkerville, B.C.

Current drilling by Williams Creek Explorations Ltd. ("the Company") has identified the B.C. Vein and fault structure in the NQ hole DDH-2006-3 in the southwest corner of the Morning Star crown granted claim along the boundary with the CG32F (Wintrip).

The northwest striking B.C. Vein and fault structure extends along the north side of Stouts Gulch, one of the more productive historical gold placer streams in the Barkerville Gold Belt. Auriferous pyritic mineralization occurs in the footwall of this structure at the Bonanza Ledge zone of International Wayside Gold Mines Ltd. ("Wayside") about 600m northwest of DDH- 2006-3. Similar mineralization also occurs above and below the B.C. fault structure at the recently discovered Mucho Oro zones, also on Wayside's claims, about 300m northwest of DDH-2006-3.

The rock units in the local area dip at moderate angles to the northeast. The table below summarizes the units encountered by the vertical hole DDH-2006-3. The Company is most encouraged by the presence of the local units 2b, 3, 4 and 5; all of which can host gold-bearing pyritic mineralization along the B.C. Vein and fault structure.

None of the core samples have yet been analyzed.

The 2006 drill program on the Westport property is testing for the continuation along strike of auriferous pyritic deposits similar to the Bonanza Ledge and Mucho Oro zones. To date, three holes totaling about 650m have been drilled. An additional 5 to 7 holes are anticipated.

A quality control program which includes the insertion of standards, blanks and field duplicates is being implemented and all work is being carried out under the supervision of K.V. Campbell, Ph.D., P.Geo., a qualified person under the meaning of National instrument 43-101.
