Eagle Plains Resources (TSX-V:EPL) has provided an update on its 25% owned Olson gold property, with SKRR Exploration owning the remaining 75%. The project, spanning 12,951 hectares in Saskatchewan's Trans Hudson Corridor, has shown promising gold mineralization results from drilling programs conducted between 2020-2022.
Key drilling highlights include:
- Point Zone: 39.80m @ 1.09 g/t Au, including 7.62m @ 3.44 g/t Au
- Jena Zone: 1.53m @ 13.5 g/t Au
- Olson Zone: 29.44m @ 1.30 g/t Au, including 10.21m @ 2.95 g/t Au
- Michael's Lake Zone: 50.35m @ 0.56 g/t Au
The project features multiple drill-confirmed target areas with diverse gold mineralization styles. Planning is currently underway for a 2025 work program.
Eagle Plains Resources (TSXV:EPL) announces that partner Earthwise Minerals (CSE:WISE) has completed data review of the Iron Range Project in British Columbia. Earthwise holds an option to acquire up to 80% interest in the 21,437ha project.
The project showed significant historical drilling results, including:
- 2010 Talon Zone: 14.0m @ 5.1g/t gold, 1.86% lead, 2.1% zinc, 75.3g/t silver
- 2010 Talon Zone: 7.1m @ 8.13g/t gold, 2.84% lead, 3.07% zinc, 86.6g/t silver
- 2008 drilling (10km north): 7.0m @ 51.52g/t gold
Under the option agreement, Earthwise must make CA$250,000 in payments, issue 1.5M shares, and fund CA$4M in exploration over four years for 70% interest. An additional 10% can be acquired through CA$1M payment and completing a bankable feasibility study.
Eagle Plains Resources (EPL) and Sun Summit Minerals (SMN) have finalized an option agreement for the Theory copper-gold project in British Columbia's Toodoggone Mining District. The agreement grants Sun Summit the right to acquire up to 100% interest in the 9,676-hectare project through a two-phase option structure.
Under the first option, Sun Summit can acquire 75% interest by paying CA$255,000, issuing 750,000 common shares, and funding CA$3,000,000 in exploration over four years. The second option allows acquisition of the remaining 25% for an additional CA$1,000,000. Upon exercise, Eagle Plains will retain a 2% smelter returns royalty, with 1% repurchasable for CA$1,000,000.
The Theory Project, located near Sun Summit's JD Project, shows potential for both epithermal gold and copper-gold porphyry deposits. Historical exploration revealed promising results, including samples with up to 8.2 g/t Au, 195 g/t Ag, and 6.2% Cu at the DM occurrence. A minimum expenditure of $200,000 is planned for 2025 exploration.
Eagle Plains Resources has received a drilling permit for its Dufferin West Property from the Saskatchewan Ministry of Environment. Partner Refined Energy Corp has the option to acquire up to 75% interest in the 10,140ha Dufferin Project, located 18km from Cameco's Centennial Deposit.
Three priority target areas have been identified using VTEM and magnetic data. The highest-priority target features two conductors near the Virgin River shear zone, with one showing strong conductivity associated with a magnetic transition. These untested targets are estimated to have relatively shallow sandstone cover of less than 200 metres above the unconformity.
Under the option agreement, Refined must make payments totaling CA$275,000, issue 1,000,000 shares, and fund CA$2.6M in exploration by December 2026 for 60% interest. An additional 15% can be acquired with CA$500,000 payment, 500,000 shares, and CA$3M in exploration by December 2028. Eagle Plains will retain a 2% smelter returns royalty, half of which is repurchasable for CA$2M.
