Westport, Barkerville, B.C.

The 2006 fall drill program of Williams Creek Explorations Ltd. ("the Company") was successful in locating, through drill intersections, the BC Vein and Fault structure that hosts auriferous pyritic zones immediately to the northwest of the Westport property on ground held by International Wayside Gold Mines Ltd. ("WGM"). Those zones, known as the Mucho Oro zones (WGM News Release NR06-19), lie about 300m from the western boundary of the Westport property and occur in stratigraphy similar to that hosting the Bonanza Ledge deposit of WGM, some 600m northwest of the property.

The Company's 2006 drill program included 10 NQ diamond drill holes totaling 1,941m. Details of these are shown below.

A simplified stratigraphy of the BC Fault and Vein structure underlying the Wintrip Claim of the Westport property is shown in the accompanying cross sections and summarized below. This zone is being referred to as the Stouts Zone.

	Unit	Approximate Thickness (m)	Mineralization/Remark
Hangingwall	black phyllites and pelite with carbonate and pyrite porpyroblasts
Stouts Zone	pale to dark green phyllites and pelite with magnetite porphyroblasts to 1mm	20 to 40	up to 20% pyrite disseminations and porphyroblasts, abundant smoky quartz veins some with 10-15% coarse pyrite
Stouts Zone	highly tectonized, shredded and brecciated black phyllitic turbidite and vein quartz, includes very graphitic intervals	15 to 30	over 50% quartz in relatively short intervals contains over 25% pyrite clots.
Stouts Zone	brownish grey, tan, mauve and grass-green phyllites and pelite with watery quartz laminations and bands, includes silicified intervals	30 to 40	abundant laminations of fine pyrite to ~ 5% overall but up to 30% fine pyrite over 1 to 1½m intervals
Stouts Zone	white, mostly massive quartz vein	5 to 13	coarse pyrite selvages on margins, includes bands of massive fine grained pyrite to ¾ m thick
Stouts Zone	either tan, mauve and grass-green phyllites and pelites or white to pale bluish and brownish micaceous quartzite	10 to 15	5-10% fine pyrite in laminations and disseminations
Footwall	black phyllites and turbidite with grey micaceous psammite

Only a few assays of the Stouts Zone returned with significant gold values, as listed in the table below.

The Company is not discouraged by these results as drilling on the Mucho Oro zones to the northwest has demonstrated the seemingly irregular and discontinuous nature of gold mineralization with the BC Vein and Fault structure (WGM News Release NR06-19). The Company is greatly encouraged by the fact that the stratigraphy and structure favorable for the formation of auriferous pyritic replacement-type deposits has been identified on the Westport property. Interpretation of airborne magnetics acquired c.1995 suggests there is an excellent likelihood of the stratigraphy and structure of the Stouts zone extending ~1.5km to the southeast. This interpreted projection has supporting evidence in that it coincides with the location of the Steadman Ledge (vein) opposite Richfield, a vein closely resembling the BC Vein in its makeup, size and structure.

The Company is planning a ground geophysical survey employing the self-potential method in the 2007 field season with the objective of identifying pyritic pods and lenses along the BC Fault and vein structure in addition to further drilling to establish the favorable stratigraphy; i.e. the ~80 to ~140m wide zone of magnetite-bearing phyllite and pelite, tectonized and brecciated turbidite and vein quartz, colored phyllite and pelite, quartz vein(s) and silicified pale quartzite.

The other notable zone of gold mineralization on the Westport property is the Morning Star zone in the northwest corner of the claims. Here the gold values are in association with pyrite in quartz veins. Significant results from drilling in 2003 and 2005 is summarized in the table below. The 2007 program in the Morning Star zone will focus on testing the continuity of the quartz veins and quartz vein zones in this area.
