Williams Creek Explorations Limited (the "Company," "WCX," or "Williams Creek")
(TSX VENTURE:WCX) is pleased to announce that it will participate in an
exploration campaign to be conducted on its ATW diamond exploration property
located at Mackay Lake, NT (the "Project"). Williams Creek owns a 30% working
interest in the Project. Its working partner in the Project is Almaden Minerals.


The 2011 program will consist of a series of overburden drill holes designed to
test the Northern and Eastern extent of a kimberlite indicator mineral train
previously encountered at Mackay Lake.


Williams Creek's participation in the Project at Mackay Lake is part of a
broader exploration program that Williams Creek plans for 2011. Williams Creek
recently raised $1.03 million via a Flow-Through share offering, the proceeds of
which are to be applied against an exploration program to be conducted at its
Barkerville area properties, where a drilling campaign is planned for this
spring.


"Exploration is a core aspect of Williams Creek's three-part strategy," said
Chairman and CEO Michael Sonnenreich. "Williams Creek has a range of exploration
projects planned this year, which I expect will be a busy one. Additionally,
Williams Creek is examining plans to move forward with other aspects of its
strategy, including participation in other joint ventures and/or equity
investments and the financing of specific gold projects."
