Williams Creek Explorations Limited ("WCX", "Williams Creek", or the "Company")
(TSX VENTURE:WCX) is pleased to announce that it has closed on a non-brokered
private placement of Units, each Unit consisting of one Flow-Through Share and
one half of one non-flow-through warrant (the "Placement"). Gross proceeds from
the Placement are $1.03 million dollars (the hold periods under Canadian
securities laws and requirements of the TSX Venture Exchange expire April 25,
2011).


In the course of the Placement, Williams Creek has issued 2,783,783 Flow Through
Shares at a price of $0.37 per share and 1,391,890 warrants with an exercise
price of $0.75 and a duration of 18 months. Williams Creek has issued an

The proceeds of the Placement will be used to fund Canadian Exploration Expenses
that Williams Creek intends to accrue in the course of its exploration of its
properties near Barkerville, BC and Kamloops, BC.


"Flow-Through Shares offer investors the opportunity to capitalize grassroots
exploration in a tax-effective fashion while allowing companies to limit the
dilution of their share capital base," said Michael R. Sonnenreich, Chairman and
CEO of Williams Creek. "This private placement provides Williams Creek with
additional ammunition for exploration as it continues to pursue its three-front
strategy of exploring, engaging in equity and joint venture investments, and
engaging in debt and royalty agreements."
