Calypso Zone returned strong alteration and mineralization over 300 m. Sample highlights include up to 3.80 g/t Au, 0.964% Cu, and 130 g/t Ag from grab and float samples. The program was jointly funded by Sun Summit Minerals and executed by TerraLogic Exploration.
Eagle Plains (OTCQB:EGPLF) reports that partner Earthwise Minerals has started a diamond drill program at the 100%-owned Iron Range Project in southeast BC. Three 2026 holes will test and extend the high-grade Talon Zone, guided by historic intercepts and geophysical anomalies.
Earthwise may earn up to an 80% interest by staged cash, share payments and funding up to CA$4M in exploration, plus a further CA$1M and a bankable feasibility study. Eagle Plains would retain a 2% smelter returns royalty and later form a 70/30 or 80/20 joint venture.
