Rhea-AI Summary
Eagle Plains (OTCQB:EGPLF) reported results from a 2-day inaugural 2025 field program at the 1,890 ha Bulldog property, 11 km SW of Stewart, BC, in the Golden Triangle. Rock sampling confirmed high-grade surface mineralization, including a 1.8 m rock chip of 29.9 g/t Au, 22.6 g/t Ag, 0.2% Cu and a second vein sample of 17.7 g/t Au, 26 g/t Ag. A newly exposed de-glaciated shear returned 122 g/t Ag, 1.7% Cu, 0.7% Zn. A separate bedded-argillite grab returned 2.4 g/t Au, representing a new mineralized horizon. The project is 100% owned with no royalties; the northern half remains unevaluated.

Historical Context
| Date | Event | Sentiment | Move | Catalyst |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dec 01 | Bulldog sampling results | Positive | +5.0% | High-grade Au-Ag-Cu rock samples from inaugural 2025 Bulldog fieldwork. |
| Nov 17 | Iron Range assays | Positive | +2.9% | Partner Earthwise reports high-grade Au-Ag samples and anomalous soils. |
| Nov 17 | Earthwise field update | Positive | +2.9% | Earthwise details Iron Range sampling and soils, confirming high-grade zones. |
| Nov 05 | Uranium surveys start | Neutral | -6.7% | Partner Xcite commences 697 line-km airborne geophysical uranium surveys. |
| Nov 03 | Asset sale agreement | Neutral | -0.9% | Agreement to transfer Rusty Springs for shares and retained NSR interests. |
Recent news has generally seen positive alignment: exploration and partnership updates often coincided with modest price gains, with only one notable divergence on a uranium survey announcement.
This announcement adds another exploration milestone to Eagle Plains’ recent activity. In early November 2025, the company signed a sale agreement for the Rusty Springs project, followed by partner-led airborne geophysical surveys over six Uranium City projects on November 5. Mid-November brought strong sampling results at the Iron Range project via partner Earthwise. Today’s Bulldog results, featuring high-grade gold-silver-copper samples on a 1,890 ha 100%-owned property, extend the exploration narrative and highlight additional high-grade precious and base metal targets within the portfolio.
Market Pulse Summary
The stock moved +5.0% in the session following this news. A strong positive reaction aligns with how EGPLF often traded after exploration updates, with prior news showing 2.88% and 5% gains on sampling results. The Bulldog program delivered multiple high-grade Au-Ag-Cu samples and unveiled a new mineralized horizon on a 1,890 ha 100%-owned asset. Investors would still have to weigh concentration in early-stage exploration and the potential for sentiment to retrace once initial enthusiasm fades.

CRANBROOK, BC / ACCESS Newswire / December 1, 2025 / Eagle Plains Resources Ltd. (TSXV:EPL)(OTCQB:EGPLF) ("EPL" or "Eagle Plains") is pleased to announce results from the inaugural 2025 field program at its Bulldog Property, located 11km SW of Stewart, British Columbia, within the southern extent of BC's "Golden Triangle", a geological region known to host globally significant precious- and base-metal deposits. The 1890 ha property hosts numerous surface showings and historical underground workings, highlighting the potential for high-grade Au-Ag mineralization in shear zones and veins. The property is accessible via helicopter out of Stewart. The project is

2025 Results
2025 Eagle Plains work consisted of a 2-day field program focused on the southern half of the property. Rock sampling at the High Grade workings confirmed reported surface grades of the mineralization. A 1.8m rock chip sample (JCBLDR001) across the vein above the middle adit returned 29.9 g/t Au, 22.6 g/t Ag and
Prospecting efforts 500m south of the High Grade vein focused on an area where the Bulldog Glacier has retreated exposing new outcrop with no known historical work. A rock (grab) sample (JCDLDR003) collected from a shear zone hosted in argillite returned 122 g/t Ag,
A rock grab sample (KBBLDR001) collected 162m SW of the High Grade lower adit returned 2.4 g/t Au from a bedded argillite unit with chaotic swarms of quartz veins up to 7 cm wide. No known historical work has been documented at the showing, which represents a new mineralized horizon in the footwall stratigraphy of the High Grade zone.
The northern half of the property has not yet been evaluated by Eagle Plains.
About The Bulldog Property
The Bulldog claims were acquired in 2025 through a combination of staking and third-party purchase agreements and are owned
The project overlies volcanic and sedimentary stratigraphy of the Stikinia Terrane, with four BC MinFile occurrences documented within the current Bulldog tenure. Mineralization at the High Grade (103P 105), Washington (103P 104), and Marmot Engineer (103P 103) is reported in shear hosted quartz-carbonate veins within volcanic and sedimentary stratigraphy of the Hazelton Group. Mineralization at the Prince George (103P 107) occurrence demonstrates the mineralization potential of quartz veins within the Bulldog Pluton.
Gold and silver bearing quartz veins at the Bulldog property were first reported in 1917, with significant work, including trenching and underground development, occurring between 1921-1930.
Most of the modern exploration has been focused on the High Grade MinFile area. Between 1987-2011, various companies undertook geological mapping, geochemical sampling, ground geophysical surveys, and underground mapping and sampling of some of the historical workings. Historical results from underground sampling include rock sample MR-21, collected by Navarre Resources Corp. in 1995 that reported 100 g/t Au and 177.6 g/t Ag over a width of 1.3m (AR 24128). Other results from underground sampling include a grab sample (MUG-10) collected by Enerayon Inc. in 2006 that returned 177.7g/t Au and 243.5 g/t Ag (AR 28764), and a grab sample (C156406) collected by Castle Resources in 2009 that returned 20.7 g/t Au and 68.3 g/t Ag (AR 31530).
A total of 23 diamond drill holes have tested the High Grade mineralization area, with results from 13 of the holes never reported. Highlights from a seven hole, 234 meter drill program by Enterayon Inc. in 2006 include DDH DD-06, which returned 4.2m at 5.6 g/t Au and 20.0 g/t Ag from 19.4 - 23.6m (AR 28764). Castle Resources completed three drill holes to test for downdip extensions of the mineralized structures with the best result from DDH HS11-06 which returned 1.0m at 13.0 g/t Au from 119.0 - 120.0m (AR 33046). The average length of reported drill holes is 87.7m and true widths of the intercepts are unknown. The company believes that there is potential to expand the mineralized area along strike and down dip.
The most recent reported work was by Granby Gold who conducted geological mapping and high-resolution helicopter-borne magnetic and radiometric surveys from 2015-2018. Results from the programs helped to define the geophysical signature and the host stratigraphy of known, structurally controlled vein hosted mineralization.
2025 samples were collected and submitted to ALS Geochemistry in North Vancouver, BC, for analysis. Analytical methods included full multi-element characterization by four acid digestion with ICP finish (method ME-MS61). Au characterization was determined by Fire Assay with AAS finish (Method Au-AA-24). Gravimetric overlimit analysis (method Au-OG62) was completed on select samples reporting >10g/t Au.
Rock grab samples are selective samples by nature and as such are not necessarily representative of the mineralization hosted across the property. Some of the above results were taken directly from MINFILE descriptions and assessment reports (ARIS) filed with the BC government. Management cautions that historical results were collected and reported by past operators and have not been verified nor confirmed by a Qualified Person but form a basis for ongoing work on the subject properties. Management cautions that past results or discoveries on proximate land are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be achieved on the subject properties.
