Williams Creek Explorations Limited ("Williams Creek," "WCX," or "the Company")
(TSX VENTURE:WCX) is pleased to announce that its 2011 exploration program at
the ATW Diamond Property is expected to commence by February 13, 2011. Williams
Creek has a 30% working interest in the ATW Diamond Property located at Mackay
Lake, NWT. The exploration program is in partnership with Almaden Minerals Ltd.
(TSX:AMM)(NYSE Amex:AAU). Exploration crews are currently mobilizing to the
field camp at Mackay Lake.


The ATW project is located proximal to a number of active diamond projects: The
Diavik Mine lies about 29 kilometres north, the Snap Lake Project is about 68
kilometres southwest, the Mountain Province/De Beers Gacho Kue Project is about
72 kilometres southeast, and Peregrine Diamonds Ltd's DO-27 Kimberlite lies 20
kilometres to the northeast.


"The ATW Project is an ongoing high-risk/high-prospective-return exploration
endeavor," said Williams Creek Chairman and CEO Michael Sonnenreich. "It fits
well into Williams Creek's corporate strategy of exploration, joint-venture and
investment, and financings, providing an opportunity for shareholders to be part
of an interesting venture at a cost that makes sense."


The winter 2011 ATW Diamond Property exploration program will comprise the
completion of approximately 134 sonic overburden drill holes. The holes will be
drilled within a 3 kilometre by 4 kilometre area of interest that lies at the at
the "up ice" terminus of a 20 kilometre long kimberlite indicator mineral (KIM)
dispersion train. The dispersion train has been traced "up ice" and easterly
under MacKay Lake over several campaigns by Almaden and partners.


The purpose of the 2011 drill program is to define the "up ice" and lateral
extent of the head of the KIM dispersion train under Mackay Lake. Previous sonic
drilling campaigns completed during 2003 and 2008 (see Almaden Minerals Ltd.
press release: October 22, 2008) have defined the southern and "up ice"
(eastern) cut-off of the dispersion train, resulting in the definition of the
present high priority area if interest. Based on the results of winter 2011
exploration, targets will be chosen for diamond drill testing during winter
2012.


The 2011, ATW Diamond Project exploration program is being conducted under the
supervision of Kristopher J. Raffle, P.Geo., APEX Geoscience Ltd. Mr. Raffle is
a qualified person as defined by National Instrument 43-101 and is responsible
for the preparation and approval of the technical information disclosed in the
News Release.
