$40 million lottery ticket sold in B.C., same month as record prize win
BURNABY — British Columbia has another multimillion-dollar lottery winner about a week after handing out a record-breaking $80 million win.
The B.C. Lottery Corporation says a Lotto Max ticket purchased in Burnaby for Friday's draw matched all seven winning numbers to win the $40 million jackpot.
The corporation says in a statement that lottery prize winners have 52 weeks from the draw date printed on their ticket to come forward to claim their prize.
The corporation says the seven winning numbers were: 13, 19, 23, 26, 36, 39, and 47.
The latest jackpot comes after a Surrey man was given his cheque for $80 million earlier this month after winning what the corporation said was the biggest jackpot ever awarded to a single person in Canada.
The corporation says the odds of winning a Lotto Max jackpot are one in 33,294,800 per $5 play.
B.C. lottery players redeemed more than $102 million in winnings from Lotto Max so far this year.

US and UK sign a trade deal, but steel imports are still in question
US president Donald Trump and British prime minister Keir Starmer said Monday that they had signed a trade deal that will slash tariffs on UK auto and aerospace industry imports — but they are still discussing how to handle steel production. "We just signed it, and it's done," Trump said, as the pair spoke to reporters at the Group of Seven summit (G7) in the Canadian Rockies, with the US president brandishing the pages of what he said was a long-awaited agreement. The rollout was anything but smooth, however, as Trump dropped the papers and said at first that his administration had reached an agreement with the European Union when he meant the United Kingdom. The president said that the pact is "a fair deal for both" and would "produce a lot of jobs, a lot of income." British prime minister, Keir Starmer, said it meant "a very good day for both our countries, a real sign of strength." Reaching this agreement is a significant step as Trump has threatened much of the world with steep import tariffs that have unsettled markets and raised the possibility of a global trade war. Related President Trump says he'll set unilateral tariff rates within weeks UK economy contracts sharply in April: Will the BoE respond? He has since backed off on many of his proposed levies but also continued to suggest that administration officials were furiously negotiating new trade pacts with dozens of countries — even if few have yet to materialise. Trump said, "the UK is very well protected" from tariffs. "You know why? Because I like them." The signing of the deal at the G7 followed Trump and Starmer's announcement in May that they'd reached a framework for a trade pact that would slash US import taxes on British cars, steel and aluminium in return for greater access to the British market for US products, including beef and ethanol. But Monday's agreement fully covers only British cars and aerospace materials, with more work to come on steel. The British government said the new agreement removes US tariffs on UK aerospace products, exempting Britain from a 10% levy the Trump White House has sought to impose on all other countries — a boost to British firms, including engine-maker Rolls-Royce. It also sets the tax on British autos at 10% from the end of the month, down from the current 27.5%, up to a quota of 100,000 vehicles a year. UK Business and Trade Secretary Jonathan Reynolds said the deal protects "jobs and livelihoods in some of our most vital sectors." Mike Hawes, chief executive of Britain's Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders, said it was "great news for the UK automotive industry." There was no final agreement to cut the tax on British steel to zero as originally anticipated — seen as vital to preserving the UK's beleaguered steel industry. Britain's steel output has fallen 80% since the late 1960s due to high costs and the rapid growth of cheaper Chinese production. Related EU 'strongly regrets' Trump's announcement to double steel and aluminium tariffs to 50% Spring 2025 economic forecast: How much will Trump's tariffs hinder EU growth? After the two leaders spoke, the White House released a statement seeking to clarify matters, saying that with respect to steel and aluminium, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick will "determine a quota of products that can enter the United States without being subject" to previous tariffs imposed by the Trump administration. The British government said Monday that the plan was still for "0% tariffs on core steel products as agreed." Trump's executive order authorising the deal contained several references to the security of supply chains, reflecting the US administration's concerns about China. It said the UK "committed to working to meet American requirements on the security of the supply chains of steel and aluminium products intended for export to the United States." There was also no final deal on pharmaceuticals, where "work will continue," the UK said. The deal signed Monday also confirms that American farmers can export 13,000 metric tons (29 million pounds) of beef to the UK each year, and vice versa — though a British ban on hormone-treated beef remains in place.

American Creek's JV Partner Tudor Gold Commences 2025 Exploration Drill Program at Treaty Creek
Cardston, Alberta--(Newsfile Corp. - June 20, 2025) - American Creek Resources Ltd. (TSXV: AMK) ("the Corporation" or "American Creek") is pleased to announce that project operator and JV partner Tudor Gold ("Tudor") is reporting on the 2025 exploration drill program at the flagship Treaty Creek Project, located in the Golden Triangle of Northwest British Columbia. 2025 Exploration Program Phase 1 drilling of the 2025 exploration program has commenced and is expected to consist of seven holes totaling approximately 6,000 meters (m) of diamond drilling at the Goldstorm Deposit. The primary objective of the Phase 1 drill program is to expand the recently discovered high-grade gold Supercell-One system (SC-1), which was delineated over an 800 m by 400 m area during 2024. SC-1 is a gold-dominant, quartz-sulphide, breccia-hosted structural corridor open to the northwest, north and east. There is excellent potential to discover further high-grade SC-1 style gold-bearing structures proximal to the Goldstorm Deposit within a 600 m by 400 m area extending from SC-1 to previously identified high-grade intercepts within the 300H and 300N Domains of the Goldstorm Deposit. Drill results from SC-1 in 2022 to 2024 include the following high-grade gold intercepts: GS-23-176-W1: 15.00 m @ 15.64 grams/tonne (g/t) AuEQ (14.89 g/t Au, 4.72 g/t Ag, 0.60% Cu) GS-22-134: 25.50 m @ 9.96 g/t AuEQ (9.66 g/t Au, 1.23 g/t Ag, 0.24% Cu) including 4.50 m @ 20.86 g/t AuEQ (20.61 g/t Au, 1.50 g/t Ag, 0.20% Cu) GS-23-179: 12.00 m @ 10.07 g/t AuEQ (9.78 g/t Au, 1.35 g/t Ag, 0.23% Cu) GS-24-185: 13.50 m @ 9.60 g/t AuEQ (9.58 g/t Au, 0.44 g/t Ag, 0.01% Cu) Drill results from 300H and 300N Domains in 2021 and 2023 include the following high-grade gold intercepts: GS-21-113-W1: 13.50 m @ 8.96 g/t AuEQ (8.77 g/t Au, 15.10 g/t Ag, 0.01% Cu) GS-21-113: 24.00 m @ 6.06 g/t AuEQ (5.81 g/t Au, 20.30 g/t Ag, 0.01% Cu) GS-23-178-W1: 12.00 m @ 6.03 g/t AuEQ (5.90 g/t Au, 12.31 g/t Ag, 0.01% Cu) Click the following links to view the corresponding plan view and oblique view. Plan Map To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit: Oblique Map To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit: Phase 2 of the 2025 exploration program will consist of 1,600 m of additional exploration drilling contingent on the success of Phase 1 drilling. Underground Permitting The application to permit an underground exploration drill program focused on the high-grade SC-1 is expected to be finalized in the coming weeks. Phase 3 of the 2025 exploration program will consist of two orientated-core geotechnical diamond drill holes, totaling approximately 500 m, targeting the portal and ramp entrance area for the underground development. These holes are planned to be drilled at the end of the 2025 exploration program. Ken Konkin, Senior Vice-President of Exploration for Tudor Gold, comments: "We are focused on increasing the high-grade gold potential of SC-1 with this year's drill program. The planned holes are designed to expand upon the successful intercepts from our recent drill campaigns. The targets are structurally controlled, late-stage, gold-rich breccia systems that complement the four known SC-1 structures: SC-1 A, B, C and D. We look forward to a successful 2025 exploration program in the following months as we begin our quest to develop a multi-million-ounce high-grade gold system peripheral to the gold-copper Goldstorm Deposit." Quality Assurance and Control Ken Konkin, Senior Vice-President of Exploration for Tudor Gold, is the Qualified Person, as defined by National Instrument 43-101, responsible for the Project. Mr. Konkin has reviewed, verified, and approved the scientific and technical information in this news release. About Treaty Creek The Treaty Creek Project hosts the Goldstorm Deposit, comprising a large gold-copper porphyry system, as well as several other mineralized zones. As disclosed in the "NI-43-101 Technical Report for the Treaty Creek Project", dated April 5, 2024 prepared by Garth Kirkham Geosystems and JDS Energy & Mining Inc., the Goldstorm Deposit has an Indicated Mineral Resource of 27.87 million ounces (Moz) of AuEQ grading 1.19 g/t AuEQ (21.66 Moz gold grading 0.92 g/t, 2.87 billion pounds (Blbs) copper grading 0.18%, 128.73 Moz silver grading 5.48 g/t) and an Inferred Mineral Resource of 6.03 Moz of AuEQ grading 1.25 g/t AuEQ (4.88 Moz gold grading 1.01 g/t, 503.2 Mlb copper grading 0.15%, 28.97 Moz silver grading 6.02 g/t), with a pit constrained cut-off of 0.7 g/t AuEQ and an underground cut-off of 0.75 g/t AuEQ. The Goldstorm Deposit has been categorized into three dominant mineral domains and several smaller mineral domains. The CS-600 domain largely consists of nested pulses of diorite intrusive stocks and hosts the majority of the copper mineralization within the Goldstorm Deposit. CS-600 has an Indicated Mineral Resource of 15.65 Moz AuEQ grading 1.22 g/t AuEQ (9.99 Moz gold grading 0.78 g/t, 2.73 Blbs copper grading 0.31%, 73.47 Moz silver grading 5.71 g/t) and an Inferred Mineral Resource of 2.86 Moz AuEQ grading 1.20 g/t AuEQ (1.87 Moz gold grading 0.79 g/t, 475.6 Mlb copper grading 0.29%, 13.4 Moz silver grading 5.63 g/t). The Goldstorm Deposit remains open in all directions and requires further exploration drilling to determine the size and extent of the Deposit.1 AuEq = Au g/t + (Ag g/t*0.0098765) + (Cu ppm*0.0001185) Treaty Creek JV Partnership American Creek is a proud partner in the Treaty Creek Project.
