Recently we bought shares of Copper Creek Gold. In a joint venture with Kootenay Gold work will commence at the Santa Lucia Property. Today the stock is up 2.5 cents (27,7%) to CA$0.115 we bought @ CA$0.075 meaning a 53,3% gain. We think both the Santa Lucia Project and the Bonsai Project are very promising, but still this investment will remain a very high risk one until drill results confirm the data we expect. These ground samples from the Santa Lucia Property look very promising.

Copper Creek Gold News Release:

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA – January 6, 2011 – Copper Creek Gold Corp. (“Copper Creek” or the “Company”; TSX VENTURE: CPV) is pleased to announce that it plans to commence the exploration of its Santa Lucia property in Sonora, Mexico in early February 2011. Initially the exploration will consist of trenching, sampling and detailed geological mapping with a focus on the silver rich La Fortuna zone. This area is the site of numerous high grade gold and silver samples taken from surface outcrop, just west of a number of old artisanal mining pits.
Subsequent to the sampling program, 2200m of drilling is planned in approximately 10 holes. These holes will test the La Fortuna zone at depth, and will also penetrate untested resistivity anomalies along the 4km strike length of the La Fortuna North property.
These resistivity anomalies can be seen in both IP and CSAMT surveys done by Cominco Ltd.’s Mexican subsidiary in the 1990’s. The anomalies underlie over 4km of surface gold mineralization, and parallel a regional range-bounding fault that is interpreted to control mineralization on the property. These resistivity anomalies remain largely untested by drilling.
In late November 2010 the Santa Lucia North area was visited by a joint team of Kootenay Gold and Copper Creek geologists and managers. Six grab samples were collected from the Santa Lucia North area by Kristian Whitehead, Copper Creek’s consulting geologist, and were delivered to ALS Chemex Labs in North Vancouver, British Columbia for analysis. The samples verified the existence of strong gold-silver mineralization, with gold values ranging from 31 ppb Au to 1670 ppb Au and silver ranging from <5 ppm Ag to 64.9 ppm Ag. Analytical results are shown below.

Sample	Area	Description	Au (ppb)	Ag (ppm)	As (ppm)	Sb (ppm)
H540836	La Fortuna	tuff w/drusy quartz & hematite	321	5.5	5	5
H540837	West pit	quartz vein	1670	44.5	12	5
H540838	La Fortuna	silicified rhyolite w/ quartz vein	1065	32.4	17	5
H540839	Federico zone	sil. rhyolite w/stockwork qtz veins	359	2.4	<5	5
H540840	East pit	rhyolite w/minor silicification	449	64.9	6	<5
H540841	trench	mottled silicified rhyolite	31	3.0	45	7

The Company has commissioned Robert G. Cuffney, P.Geo., of Reno, Nevada to produce an N1 43-101 compliant report on the property. This will be available to be viewed on Copper Creek Gold Corp.’s web site, and on SEDAR, upon acceptance by the TSX Venture Exchange.
Copper Creek can earn a 60% interest in the Santa Lucia project from Kootenay Gold Inc. by spending $2,000,000 in exploration expenses and by making various cash and share payments to Kootenay over a 4 year period. This agreement remains subject to Exchange approval.
