Eagle Plains and Xcite Define Prospective Geophysical Trends at Don Lake and Smitty Uranium Projects, SKJune 25, 2026 4:00 AM
ACCESS NewswireCRANBROOK, BC / ACCESS Newswire / June 25, 2026 / Eagle Plains Resources Ltd. (TSX-V:EPL)(OTCQB:EGPLF) ("EPL" or "Eagle Plains") with partner, Xcite Uranium Inc. (TSX-V:XRI) ("XRI or Xcite"), is pleased to announce initial geophysical results from a 2025 VTEM Plus airborne geophysical survey carried out by Geotech Airborne Geophysical Surveys that covered the Don Lake (1671ha), and Smitty (2384ha) uranium projects. Advanced geophysical interpretation and modeling by Condor Consulting Inc. is nearing completion and will aid in prioritizing areas for summer fieldwork and targeting drill holes in Q3/Q4 2026.The Calculated Vertical Gradient (CVG) (Figure 1) shows both magnetic high and low features aligned parallel to the regional Black Bay Fault, one of the main controlling structures for uranium mineralization in the Beaverlodge camp. At Don Lake, there is a pronounced high electromagnetic (EM) conductivity feature (Figure 2) associated with the Zone A, Zone B and Hawker Trench uranium occurrences, which also lie along a mag high and mag low break. At the Smitty project, the historic Smitty mine is associated with an EM conductor high. An additional high conductivity feature located in the western part of the property is also prospective and will be evaluated during the summer 2026 field program.The 2025 VTEM Plus airborne geophysical survey covered the six uranium projects and the survey data was merged with publicly available geophysical data collected by previous operators.The Don Lake and Smitty uranium projects are located near Uranium City, Saskatchewan, and host near surface uranium mineralization as well as past producing uranium mines. In December 2023 Eagle Plains granted Xcite the exclusive right to earn up to an 80% interest in the Gulch, Lorado, Beaver River, Black Bay, Don Lake, and Smitty projects (see Dec 14 news release). The six projects comprising the Xcite option agreements cover 54 Saskatchewan Mineral Deposit Index (SMDI) occurrences and five past-producing uranium mines, and are 100% owned by Eagle Plains. The projects are prospective for Beaverlodge style, basement hosted and unconformity hosted uranium mineralization. Figure 1. Magnetics - Don Lake & Smitty Compilation Geophysics Map Figure 2.

The above results were taken directly from the SMDI descriptions and assessment reports) filed with the Saskatchewan 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.About the Beaverlodge Uranium DistrictThe Beaver River, Black Bay, Don Lake, Gulch, Lorado, and Smitty projects are located in the Beaverlodge District near Uranium City in the Lake Athabasca region of Saskatchewan. Occurrences of uranium mineralization are abundant in the Uranium City area and have been explored and documented since the 1940s. The Beaverlodge camp was the first uranium producer in Canada, with historic production of approximately 70.25 million pounds of U3O8 between 1950-1982, from ore grades averaging 0.23% U3O8. The two largest producers were the Eldorado Beaverlodge (Ace-Fay-Verna) mine and the Gunnar uranium mine. The Beaverlodge area has seen limited uranium focused exploration since the early 1990's.The Uranium City area projects have potential for both Beaverlodge-style and basement-hosted uranium mineralization. Key features about the projects include:Outcropping, largely northeast-southwest-trending tectonic fabric;Electromagnetic conductors that have been confirmed as graphite-rich pelites within or near major faults;Anomalous uranium geochemistry and radioactivity associated with graphitic faults;Compelling property-wide evidence for hydrothermal alteration;Uranium mineralization with corresponding elevations in pathfinder elements.These factors, along with the presence of a substantial uranium endowment in both basement rocks and Athabasca basin cover rocks, indicate excellent potential for economic uranium mineralization within the project. The mineralization, structures and alteration identified on the claims to date are strong indicators of the possibility of a nearby source for the uranium mineralization.Uranium City Option AgreementUnder the terms of the agreements, Xcite may earn an 80% interest in each of the Beaver River, Black Bay, Don Lake, Gulch, Lorado, and Smitty projects by completing CDN$3,200,000 in exploration expenditures, issuing 750,000 common shares of Xcite and making cash payments to Eagle Plains of CDN$55,000 over four years, for an aggregate of CDN$19,200,000 in exploration expenditures, 4,500,000 shares and $330,000 in cash to Eagle Plains. Upon Xcite fulfilling the terms of any or all of the earn-in agreements, an 80/20 joint venture will be formed, with Eagle Plains retaining a carried interest in all expenditures until delivery by Xcite or its assigns of a bankable feasibility study. During the option earn in period, XRI will be appointed as operator, and EPL will manage the exploration programs under the direction of a joint technical committee. The projects are owned 100% by EPL, who will retain an underlying 2% NSR royalty on the each of the properties.Qualified PersonsCharles C. Downie, P.Geo., a "qualified person" for the purposes of National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects and a director of Eagle Plains, has reviewed and approved the scientific and technical disclosure in this news release.About Eagle Plains ResourcesBased in Cranbrook, B.C., Eagle Plains is a well-funded, prolific project generator that continues to conduct research, acquire and explore mineral projects throughout western Canada, with a focus on critical metals integral to an increasingly electrified, decarbonized economy.The Company was formed in 1992 and is the fourth-oldest listed issuer on the TSX-V (and the only one of these four that has not seen a roll-back or restructuring of its shares).

Eagle Plains Partner Earthwise Intercepts Mineralization in all Holes at the Iron Range Precious Metals Project, BC.June 16, 2026 7:00 AM
ACCESS NewswireCRANBROOK, BC / ACCESS Newswire / June 16, 2026 / Eagle Plains Resources Ltd. (TSXV:EPL)(OTCQB:EGPLF) ("EPL" or "Eagle Plains") is pleased to announce that partner Earthwise Minerals Corp. (CSE:WISE)(FSE:966)(OTCQB:EWISF) ("Earthwise" or "WISE") has completed the diamond drilling program at Eagle Plains' 100% owned Iron Range Project, SE British Columbia. Earthwise holds the exclusive option to acquire up to an 80% interest in the Iron Range Project.The 20,021 ha Iron Range Project is considered by management of both Eagle Plains and Earthwise to hold excellent potential for the presence of structurally controlled gold-silver mineralization, iron-oxide copper-gold ("IOCG") and Sullivan-style lead-zinc-silver sedimentary-exhalative ("sedex") mineralization. The property is owned 100% by Eagle Plains, with part of the property subject to an underlying 1.0% Net Smelter Royalty held by a third party. The drill program was managed by Terralogic Exploration Inc. and diamond drilling was contracted to QB Drilling.The 2026 drill program was designed to infill historical mineralized intercepts and assess continuity of mineralization along trend at the Talon Zone structure, where 2010 drilling by Eagle Plains intersected 2 intervals of strong and continuous mineralization including 14.0m grading 5.1g/t gold, 1.86% lead, 2.1% Zinc, 75.3g/t silver and 7.1m grading 8.13g/t gold, 2.84% lead, 3.07% zinc, 86.6g/t silver (DDH IR10010).See Iron Range Drill Plan Map hereHole IDEasting*Northing*Elev.

The hole was collared in the middle Aldridge Formation, intercepting the regionally significant lower-middle Aldridge Formation Contact (LMC) at approximately 120m depth. The Talon Zone structure, intercepted between 280-396m, is defined by strong silica-feldspar alteration associated with dense, chaotic quartz-feldspar-ankerite veins. Polymetallic mineralization (pyrrhotite-pyrite-sphalerite-galena-arsenopyrite-sulfosalts) was noted throughout the structural zone within veins, as fracture infill and forming localized breccia cement.DDH IR26054 was designed to cross-cut the Talon Zone structure, infilling between historical holes IR10010 and IR11011 (60m drill spacing at target depth). The hole was collared in Middle Aldridge stratigraphy, intersecting the LMC at approximately 53m. The Talon Zone Structure, intercepted between 258-345m, is defined by strong silica-feldspar alteration associated with chaotic quartz-feldspar-ankerite veins. Polymetallic mineralization (pyrrhotite-pyrite-sphalerite-galena-arsenopyrite-sulfosalts) was noted throughout the structural zone as veins, fracture infill and localized breccia cement.DDH IR26055 was designed to overcut IR11015, assessing continuity of the mineralized structural trend to the southwest, an area that is historically underexplored. The hole successfully intercepted an upper and lower mineralized horizon first defined in DDH IR11015. The hole was collared in the upper mineralized horizon (15-80m), where polymetallic mineralization (pyrrhotite-pyrite-sphalerite-galena-arsenopyrite-sulfosalts) is associated with intense oxidization of sulphides and strong silica and feldspar alteration of the Middle Aldridge sediments. The main (lower) Talon Zone mineralized horizon was intercepted between 241-380m, a 40m step-out from IR11015. The zone is defined by moderate silica alteration of Lower Aldridge sediments associated with dense, chaotic quartz-feldspar-ankerite veining. Polymetallic mineralization (pyrrhotite-pyrite-sphalerite-galena-arsenopyrite-sulfosalts) is dominantly hosted within the veins and as fracture infill.Samples have been submitted to ALS Global (North Vancouver) for Fire Assay (Au) and full multi-element characterization.Chuck Downie, President and CEO of Eagle Plains commented "We are excited to return to exploration drilling at the Iron Range. The known, structurally controlled, Talon Zone mineralization correlates with multi element geochemical anomalies and strong IP resistivity and chargeability signatures, with similar features in the area remaining untested by drilling."See Iron Range Property Information and Map hereIron Range Project SummaryThe 20,021ha Iron Range Project located near Creston, BC, is owned 100% by Eagle Plains, subject to a 1% NSR held by a third party on a portion of the claim group. A well-developed transportation and power corridor transects the southern part of the property, including a high-pressure gas pipeline and a high-voltage hydro-electric line, both of which follow the CPR mainline and Highway 3. The rail line provides efficient access to the Teck smelter in Trail, B.C. The project is fully permitted with a Multi-Year Area Based (MYAB) permit in place issued by the BC Ministry of Mining and Critical Minerals that includes provisions for geophysical work, mechanical trenching, access trail construction and diamond drilling.The Iron Range property covers an extensive area approximately 10km x 32km which overlies the regional Iron Range Fault System ("IRFS"). Prior to the acquisition by Eagle Plains in 2001, the property had seen little systematic exploration for other than iron resources known to exist on the property since the late 1800s. Since 2001, Eagle Plains and its partners have completed 21,593m of diamond-drilling in 87 holes, collected 2482 line-km of airborne and surface geophysical data and analysed 10,053 soil geochemical samples, 495 rock samples and 6955 drill core samples.Drilling at Iron Range in 2010 resulted in the discovery of the Talon Zone, where drill-hole IR10-010 intersected 2 intervals of strong and continuous mineralization including 14.0m grading 5.1g/t gold, 1.86% lead, 2.1% Zinc, 75.3g/t silver and 7.1m grading 8.13g/t gold, 2.84% lead, 3.07% zinc, 86.6g/t silver (Eagle Plains news release December 21st, 2010). Previous drilling 10km north of the Talon Zone in 2008 by Eagle Plains intersected gold mineralization in drill-hole IR08006 which assayed 7.0m grading 51.52g/t (1.50 oz/ton) gold (Eagle Plains news release dated April 20th, 2009).Mineralization at the Pyromorphite Zone (BC MinFile 082FSE141) was discovered in 2009 after construction of logging roads exposed sheared and brecciated sediments hosting cm-scale quartz veins bearing pyromorphite (lead) mineralization. No significant work has been completed at the zone since its initial discovery by the previous tenure holder. Rock (grab) sample SK10-207 reports 27.0 g/t Au, 173.0 g/t Ag, and 13.4% Pb (BC Assessment Report 31659). Rock (grab) sample MK10-170 reports 54.7 g/t Au, 42.2 g/t Ag, and 2.8% Pb (BC Assessment Report 31659). 2025 fieldwork at the Pyromorphite returned up to 13.4 g/t Au, 27.2 g/t Ag, > 10,000 ppm As, and 2.7% Pb from an in-situ grab sample. (KBBIRR004) (Eagle Plains news release dated November 17, 2025). The poly-metallic (As-Pb-Zn) nature of the mineralization at the Pyromorphite Zone and the association between arsenopyrite (As) and Au mineralization are consistent with the structurally hosted mineralization that defines the Talon Zone target 12 km to the SW.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.Iron Range Option Agreement DetailsTo exercise the Option, Earthwise must make a series of cash payments and share issuances to Eagle Plains and fund exploration expenditures on the Project. These payments, share issuance and expenditures are separated into two phases, with the first Option entitling the Company to acquire a 70% interest in the Project by paying CA $250,000, issuing an aggregate of 1,500,000 common shares to EPL and funding CA $4,000,000 in exploration expenditures on the Project by over a four-year term. Pursuant to the second phase of the Option, the Company may acquire an additional 10% interest in the Project (for an 80% total interest) by notifying Eagle Plains of its intent to increase its interest to 80% and making an additional one-time payment of CDN $1,000,000 cash, and completing a bankable feasibility study on the Property, before the eighth anniversary of the Option.If the First Option or the Second Option is exercised, a 2% smelter returns royalty will be granted to the Eagle Plains over the entire property, 1% of which may be repurchased for CA $1,500,000.Eagle Plains will serve as Operator under the terms of Option and will reserve the right to use TerraLogic Exploration Inc. as geoscience consultant. Following the exercise of either Option 1 or 2, Earthwise and Eagle Plains shall then form a 70/30 or 80/20 joint venture ("JV") to further explore and develop the Property.Qualified PersonsCharles C.

Eagle Plains' Partner Xcite Uranium Receives Permits and Commences Fieldwork at the Uranium City Project, SaskatchewanJune 15, 2026 4:00 AM
ACCESS NewswireCRANBROOK, BC / ACCESS Newswire / June 15, 2026 / Eagle Plains Resources Ltd. (TSX-V:EPL)(OTCQB:EGPLF) ("EPL" or "Eagle Plains") is pleased to announce that partner Xcite Uranium Inc. (TSX-V:XRI) ("XRI or Xcite"), has approved the 2026 exploration plan and mobilized exploration crews to commence fieldwork at Eagle Plains' Uranium City Projects (the "Uranium City Projects"), northern Saskatchewan.In December 2023 Eagle Plains granted Xcite the exclusive right to earn up to an 80% interest in the Gulch, Lorado, Beaver River, Black Bay, Don Lake, and Smitty projects. The six projects comprising the Xcite option agreements cover 54 Saskatchewan Mineral Deposit Index (SMDI) occurrences and five past-producing uranium mines, and are 100% owned by Eagle Plains. The projects are prospective for Beaverlodge style, basement hosted and unconformity hosted uranium mineralization.Uranium City Projects 2026 Exploration ProgramThe 2026 field program will mark the first fieldwork carried out on the Uranium City projects since they were acquired by Eagle Plains. The focus of the program will be to identify targets for fall 2026 diamond drilling and will be a combination of ground based field surveys and airborne and ground geophysics. Ground surveys will include geological mapping/prospecting, scintillometer surveys, and soil geochemical surveys. This will be augmented with Lidar/photogrammetric and detailed magnetic drone surveys that will be used to guide field crews in near real time to locate historical workings and structures of interest. RadonEx has been contracted to carry out soil and water radon surveys over strategic structures identified from the recent EM and magnetic surveys, especially in areas of lower relief. Results from this survey will help prioritize detailed drill targets along geophysical lineaments of interest.Geophysical surveys will include airborne radiometrics, which should be highly effective given the high level of bedrock exposure in the Uranium City area. Ground based gravity will be used in conjunction with the VTEM + magnetic results to prioritize drill sites along inferred fault systems. This survey type is commonly used in uranium exploration to indirectly locate hydrothermal alteration cells that may have contributed to the formation of uranium mineralization. The approved budget for the 2026 fieldwork is $1.6M.Eagle Plains serves as operator for the project. The work will be completed by TerraLogic Exploration under the supervision of Jarrod Brown, MSc., VP TerraLogic, and will be based out of Uranium City.Permit UpdateEagle Plains has received permits from the Saskatchewan Ministry of Environment for exploration activities on each of the Uranium City projects. Permitted work includes temporary work camps, diamond drilling, access trail clearing, field prospecting and geophysics with line cutting.See Uranium City Projects map hereThe Uranium City projects are included in a formal Exploration Agreement between Eagle Plains and the Ya'thi Néné Lands and Resource Office ("YNLR"), representing the Athabasca Denesuliné First Nations of Hatchet Lake, Black Lake, and Fond du Lac, the Northern Hamlet of Stony Rapids, and the Northern Settlements of Uranium City, Wollaston Lake and Camsell Portage.About the Beaverlodge Uranium DistrictThe Beaver River, Black Bay, Don Lake, Gulch, Lorado, and Smitty projects are located in the Beaverlodge District near Uranium City in the Lake Athabasca region of Saskatchewan.

Eagle Plains and Xcite Define Prospective Geophysical Trends at Black Bay, Lorado and Gulch Uranium Projects, SK.June 11, 2026 6:00 AM
ACCESS NewswireCRANBROOK, BC / ACCESS Newswire / June 11, 2026 / Eagle Plains Resources Ltd. (TSX-V:EPL)(OTCQB:EGPLF) ("EPL" or "Eagle Plains") with partner, Xcite Uranium Inc. (TSX-V:XRI) ("XRI or Xcite"), is pleased to announce initial geophysical results from a 2025 VTEM Plus airborne geophysical survey carried out by Geotech Airborne Geophysical Surveys that covered the Black Bay (1114ha), Lorado (643ha) and Gulch (1996ha) uranium projects. Advanced geophysical interpretation and modeling by Condor Consulting Inc. is nearing completion and will aid in prioritizing areas for summer fieldwork and targeting drill holes in Q3/Q4 2026.At the Gulch Project, the regional Black Bay Fault, one of the main controlling structures for uranium mineralization in the Beaverlodge camp, is clearly defined along a break between anomalous high conductivity to the east and low conductivity to the west (Figure 1). The Calculated Vertical Gradient (CVG) of the magnetic data defines the Black Fault as an area with a high magnetic trend with offsets and splays possibly indicative of a favorable structural environment (Figure 2). A similar correlation is shown at the Lorado Project, with the Lorado Mine - Pitchie trend occurring along a coincident conductivity and magnetic high. Uranium mineralization at the Black Bay project occurs along the flanks of a pronounced magnetic high.The 2025 VTEM Plus airborne geophysical survey covered the six uranium projects and the survey data was merged with publicly available geophysical data collected by previous operators.The Black Bay, Lorado and Gulch uranium projects are located near Uranium City, Saskatchewan, and host near surface uranium mineralization as well as past producing uranium mines. In December 2023 Eagle Plains granted Xcite the exclusive right to earn up to an 80% interest in the Gulch, Lorado, Beaver River, Black Bay, Don Lake, and Smitty projects (see Dec 14 news release). The six projects comprising the Xcite option agreements cover 54 Saskatchewan Mineral Deposit Index (SMDI) occurrences and five past-producing uranium mines, and are 100% owned by Eagle Plains. The projects are prospective for Beaverlodge style, basement hosted and unconformity hosted uranium mineralization.Figure 1. Conductivity - Gulch, Lorado, Black Bay Geophysics Map Figure 2.

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.About the Beaverlodge Uranium DistrictThe Beaver River, Black Bay, Don Lake, Gulch, Lorado, and Smitty projects are located in the Beaverlodge District near Uranium City in the Lake Athabasca region of Saskatchewan. Occurrences of uranium mineralization are abundant in the Uranium City area and have been explored and documented since the 1940s. The Beaverlodge camp was the first uranium producer in Canada, with historic production of approximately 70.25 million pounds of U3O8 between 1950-1982, from ore grades averaging 0.23% U3O8. The two largest producers were the Eldorado Beaverlodge (Ace-Fay-Verna) mine and the Gunnar uranium mine. The Beaverlodge area has seen limited uranium focused exploration since the early 1990's.The Uranium City area projects have potential for both Beaverlodge-style and basement-hosted uranium mineralization. Key features about the projects include:Outcropping, largely northeast-southwest-trending tectonic fabric;Electromagnetic conductors that have been confirmed as graphite-rich pelites within or near major faults;Anomalous uranium geochemistry and radioactivity associated with graphitic faults;Compelling property-wide evidence for hydrothermal alteration;Uranium mineralization with corresponding elevations in pathfinder elements.These factors, along with the presence of a substantial uranium endowment in both basement rocks and Athabasca basin cover rocks, indicate excellent potential for economic uranium mineralization within the project. The mineralization, structures and alteration identified on the claims to date are strong indicators of the possibility of a nearby source for the uranium mineralization.Uranium City Option AgreementUnder the terms of the agreements, Xcite may earn an 80% interest in each of the Beaver River, Black Bay, Don Lake, Gulch, Lorado, and Smitty projects by completing CDN$3,200,000 in exploration expenditures, issuing 750,000 common shares of Xcite and making cash payments to Eagle Plains of CDN$55,000 over four years, for an aggregate of CDN$19,200,000 in exploration expenditures, 4,500,000 shares and $330,000 in cash to Eagle Plains. Upon Xcite fulfilling the terms of any or all of the earn-in agreements, an 80/20 joint venture will be formed, with Eagle Plains retaining a carried interest in all expenditures until delivery by Xcite or its assigns of a bankable feasibility study. During the option earn in period, XRI will be appointed as operator, and EPL will manage the exploration programs under the direction of a joint technical committee.

Eagle Plains and Xcite Define Prospective Geophysical Trends at Beaver River Uranium Project, SKJune 3, 2026 4:00 AM
ACCESS NewswireCRANBROOK, BC / ACCESS Newswire / June 3, 2026 / Eagle Plains Resources Ltd. (TSXV:EPL)(OTCQB:EGPLF) ("EPL" or "Eagle Plains") with partner, Xcite Uranium Inc. (TSX-V: XRI) ("XRI or Xcite"), is pleased to announce initial geophysical results for its 4502 ha Beaver River Uranium Project. Strong correlations exist between areas of known uranium mineralization at the VIC and COMBINED zones with trends of anomalous conductivity (Figure 1). The Calculated Vertical Gradient (CVG) of the magnetic data, collected simultaneously with the VTEM, also shows strong trends in proximity to known mineralization possibly indicative of a favorable structural environment (Figure 2). Advanced geophysical interpretation and modeling by Condor Consulting Inc. is nearing completion and will aid in prioritizing areas for summer fieldwork and targeting drill holes in Q3/Q4 2026.Beaver River was one of six projects covered by a 2025 VTEM Plus airborne geophysical survey carried out by Geotech Airborne Geophysical Surveys. The fall survey was merged with publicly available VTEM data collected by previous operators. Since data collection was completed, the Beaver River project has been expanded by over 3,000 hectares. Figure 1. Conductivity - Beaver River Geophysics Map Figure 2. Magnetics - Beaver River Geophysics MapBeaver River HighlightsHistorical assays up to 29.89% U3O8 in trench chip samples

Prospective for both polymetallic Beaverlodge-type and unconformity-related uranium mineralizationThe Beaver River uranium project, located 40km SE of Uranium City, Saskatchewan, hosts near surface high grade uranium mineralization. December 2023 Eagle Plains granted Xcite the exclusive right to earn up to an 80% interest in the Gulch, Lorado, Beaver River, Black Bay, Don Lake, and Smitty projects (see Dec 14 news release). The six projects comprising the Xcite option agreements cover 54 Saskatchewan Mineral Deposit Index (SMDI) occurrences and five past-producing uranium mines, and are 100% owned by Eagle Plains.See Uranium City Projects map hereThe Uranium City projects are included in a formal Exploration Agreement between Eagle Plains and the Ya'thi Néné Lands and Resource Office ("YNLR"), representing the Athabasca Denesuliné First Nations of Hatchet Lake, Black Lake, and Fond du Lac, the Northern Hamlet of Stony Rapids, and the Northern Settlements of Uranium City, Wollaston Lake and Camsell Portage.About the Beaver River ProjectThe 4502.4ha project overlies 5 Saskatchewan Mineral Deposit Index ("SMDI") occurrences associated with Beaverlodge-type uranium mineralization.The polymetallic VIC U-Cu-Ni zone (SMDI 1551, 1553, and 1994) occurs along a NW-SE trending fault zone which has been traced for approximately 1 km. Mineralization occurs in fracture filling of quartz veins hosting sulphides, graphite, and pitchblende and uraninite, ore minerals of uranium. Historical assays of channel samples in this zone yield up to 29.89% U3O8 over 0.3m, 18.09% U3O8 over 0.2m and 3.09% U3O8 over 0.6m (AF 74O05-0077). The southeast zone has been tested by nine shallow drill holes, averaging 80m in length, returning assays of 0.18% U3O8 over 0.3m (AF74O05-0016) and 0.06% U3O8 over 0.61m along with anomalous copper, nickel, gold and silver (AF74O05-0051). The northwest portion of the VIC zone, identified as a priority for follow-up by Denison Mines, has yet to be tested by drilling.Another significant mineral occurrence on the Beaver River property is the Combined Mining Uranium Showing (SMDI 1557) where northeast-trending pitchblende-bearing fractures have ben mapped over a strike length of 137.2m. Assays from trenches yielded 0.23% U3O8 over 0.5m and 1.77% U3O8 over 0.9m.Since uranium mineralization on the Beaver River property was first noted in 1958 the property has seen a total of 1708m of diamond drilling in 26 shallow holes, with the last drilling completed in 1969 by Trans-Canada Resources. Other historical work includes prospecting, mapping, scintillometer surveys, trenching at the main showing areas, and airborne and ground-based geophysics.An electromagnetic and magnetic VTEM survey flown by Geotech for Fission 3.0 in 2016 covered the eastern part of the Beaver River property. The survey outlined numerous areas of enhanced conductivity including areas of parallel conductors with offsets and termination points indicative of cross structure, including a high priority conductive trend located west of the Combined SMDI occurrence. Follow-up prospecting and geochemical sampling was recommended to evaluate the source of the anomalies.The last recorded assessment work on the project was by Fission 3.0 who successfully located and resampled historic trenches at the VIC occurrence.Management of Eagle Plains and Xcite are encouraged by the tenor of mineralization displayed in trenches and shallow historical drilling at Beaver River and the potential for additional uranium mineralization both along strike and to depth within known mineralized areas, along trends identified by historical geophysical surveys, and on any additional targets generated by 2024 work.Rock grab samples are selective samples by nature and as such are not necessarily representative of the mineralization hosted across the property.

Eagle Plains' Partner Sun Summit Approves 2026 Exploration for the Theory Project, Toodoggone District, BCMay 26, 2026 7:00 AM
ACCESS NewswireCRANBROOK, BC / ACCESS Newswire / May 26, 2026 / Eagle Plains Resources Ltd. (TSXV:EPL)(OTCQB:EGPLF) ("EPL" or "Eagle Plains") is pleased to announce that partner Sun Summit Minerals Corp. (SMN)(SMREF) ("Sun Summit") has approved the 2026 exploration plan at Eagle Plains' Theory copper-gold project (the "Theory Project"), Toodoggone Mining District, north-central British Columbia. The property is owned 100% by Eagle Plains, with 122 hectares of the property subject to an underlying 0.5% Net Smelter Royalty held by a third party.The 9677 ha Theory Project borders Thesis Gold's Ranch Project to the north and is located within 10 km to the northwest of Sun Summit's JD Project. Sun Summit has an exclusive option agreement with Eagle Plains to earn up to a 100% interest in the project, located in the highly prospective Toodoggone Mining District. (see press release dated March 17, 2025)Theory Project 2026 Exploration ProgramThe 2026 work program will build on the success from the 2025 field season, the first significant fieldwork on the property in over 30 years. (see press release dated January 21, 2026)The 2026 program will be executed in three phases. Phase 1 work will consist of a property scale, 250m line spaced, airborne magnetotelluric survey to image subsurface resistivity and help locate causative intrusions and possible conduits for mineralization. The MobileMT survey will be completed by Expert Geophysics Surveys Inc. of Newmarket, ON, under the guidance of geophysicist, Andrei Bagrianski, P.Geo.Phase 2 fieldwork will include mapping/prospecting and rock, soil, silt geochemical sampling with crews based out of temporary, helicopter supported, camps. Work will focus on the detailed evaluation of targets identified by 2025 fieldwork, assessment of areas of interest generated by the MobileMT survey, and ongoing target generation and assessment in underexplored areas of the property.Phase 3 will include Induced Polarization (IP) surveys conducted by Peter E. Walcott and Associates Ltd. over high priority target areas.The results from the 2026 work program will be analysed and modelled to identify and prioritize targets for 2027 drill testing. The proposed work program will have a budget of approximately $700,000.Fieldwork will be managed by TerraLogic Exploration Inc. and is anticipated to begin in early-June and continue into September. Eagle Plains is the project operator.Highlights from 2025 Field Program2025 work included:Data Compilation with rectification and analysis of historical surface sampling and reconnaissance mapping.Remote Sensing Acquisition of district-and property-scale datasets, focusing on VNIR and SWIR bands to identify mineral groups diagnostic of epithermal and porphyry alteration.Field Program consisting of prospecting, detailed geological mapping, and systematic rock, soil, and silt geochemical sampling on targets identified through data analyses.Saboteur Zone: New high grade copper discovery3km length zone of copper mineralization associated with coincident magnetic high transition zone and strong radiometric potassic alteration anomaly15 of the rock samples collected returned over 1% CuGrab sample LSTHR040: 4.78% copper, 0.635 g/t gold, 49 g/t silver;BEV Zone:Broad copper soil and silt geochemical anomaly associated with multiphase alterationGrab sample BLTHR029: 1.44% copper, 0.043 g/t gold, 12.8g/t silver;Fred-DM-DMR Zone:1.6 km x 3km zone of copper mineralization associated with barite veiningGrab sample BLTHR051: 6.42% copper, 0.088 g/t gold, 99 g/t silver;Grab sample JBTHR008: 0.65% copper, 12.6 g/t gold, 3150 g/t silver;Petrographic analyses of 2025 samples identified strong epidote-chlorite-carbonate alteration directly with hypogene copper mineralization (chalcopyrite - bornite - chalcocite). This type of mineralization and alteration assemblage is interpreted to represent the inner shell of a porphyry system, which may indicate a proximal source for some of the Theory mineralization. About the Theory ProjectThe 9676ha Theory Project is located in northern BC within the Toodoggone Mining District. The district is endowed with both epithermal gold and porphyry copper-gold deposits, most notably the past producing Kemess Mine owned by Centerra Gold. The Omineca Resource Road provides access to the region from Mackenzie, BC. Recent road upgrades completed in 2023 by Thesis Gold on their Lawyers-Ranch Project brought road access to within 8 kms of the Theory Project.Geology in the Theory region is primarily comprised of lower Jurassic Hazelton Group volcanics which unconformably overlie late Triassic Takla Group volcanics. The entire package of rocks is intruded by late Triassic and early Jurassic stocks. The majority of the Theory property encompasses the highly prospective Jurassic-Triassic unconformity (~200 Ma), termed by the BC Geologic Survey as the ‘Red-Line', which is known to have a high spatial correlation to many of the known deposits throughout the Golden Triangle and Toodoggone.Exploration by previous operators has been intermittent since the mid-1960's and regional government surveys are sparse, however encouraging mineralization and alteration commonly associated with both epithermal and porphyry systems has been documented. The most significant documented work was completed in 1988 in the north and west areas of the Theory project area. Work consisted primarily of alpine ridge and subalpine prospecting traverses as well as reconnaissance soil sample lines in areas where no outcrop was present. This work documented occurrences of low-sulphidation epithermal-related mineralization including quartz-barite veins with up to 8.2 g/t Au, 195 g/t Ag, and 6.2% Cu at the DM occurrence (BC Minfile 094E 231)*; and a quartz carbonate vein system with up to 6.8 g/t Au and 1,480 g/t Ag at the Fred-1 occurrence (BC Minfile 094E 402)*. The BEV occurrences (BC Minfile 094E 259)*, interpreted as a Cu-Au porphyry target, returned select historical rock results up to 0.47% Cu, 10.5 g/t Ag, and 0.13 g/t Au. Detailed soils revealed a 1.6 by 2 kilometre copper-in-soil anomaly with peak soil results to 920 ppm Cu. Very little work is documented in the south and eastern parts of the property.Recent exploration success in the area has been highlighted by Thesis Gold's announcement at their Lawyers-Ranch Project of a combined Measured and Indicated Mineral Resource of 4.564 Moz grading 1.21 g/t AuEq and Inferred Resources of 643 koz grading 1.23 g/t AuEq (Lawyers - Ranch Project NI 43 - 101 Technical Report and Pre - feasibility Study British Columbia, Canada Effective Date: December 1, 2025) and by Amarc Resources' new high-grade copper-gold-silver discovery at the AuRORA zone of the Joy Project (Amarc Resources, January 17, 2025 News Release).In late 2023 Eagle Plains acquired the property through staking and third-party agreements. After undertaking initial compilation and interpretation of historical data on the project, Eagle Plains completed a property wide, high resolution airborne magnetic and radiometric survey in July 2024, followed by fieldwork in 2025.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.

The third hole will test downdip and along strike of known mineralization, targeting a coincident resistivity-conductivity Induced Polarization (IP) anomaly.Chuck Downie, President and CEO of Eagle Plains commented "We are excited to be back drilling at the Iron Range project with our partners Earthwise. The Talon Zone is a high-grade gold mineralized shear proximal to a major regional structure. The presence of similar structural splays off of the Iron Range Fault system, coincident with anomalous pathfinder geochemistry and IP geophysical anomalies that are modelled to extend to depth indicate the potential for additional Talon Zone style mineralization at the project."See Iron Range Property Information and Map hereIron Range Project SummaryThe 20,021ha Iron Range Project located near Creston, BC, is owned 100% by Eagle Plains, subject to a 1% NSR held by a third party on a portion of the claim group. A well-developed transportation and power corridor transects the southern part of the property, including a high-pressure gas pipeline and a high-voltage hydro-electric line, both of which follow the CPR mainline and Highway 3. The rail line provides efficient access to the Teck smelter in Trail, B.C. The project is fully permitted with a Multi-Year Area Based (MYAB) permit in place issued by the BC Ministry of Mining and Critical Minerals that includes provisions for geophysical work, mechanical trenching, access trail construction and diamond drilling.The Iron Range property covers an extensive area approximately 10km x 32km which overlies the regional Iron Range Fault System ("IRFS"). Prior to the acquisition by Eagle Plains in 2001, the property had seen little systematic exploration for other than iron resources known to exist on the property since the late 1800s. Since 2001, Eagle Plains and its partners have completed 21,593m of diamond-drilling in 87 holes, collected 2482 line-km of airborne and surface geophysical data and analysed 10,053 soil geochemical samples, 495 rock samples and 6955 drill core samples.Drilling at Iron Range in 2010 resulted in the discovery of the Talon Zone, where drill-hole IR10-010 intersected 2 intervals of strong and continuous mineralization including 14.0m grading 5.1g/t gold, 1.86% lead, 2.1% Zinc, 75.3g/t silver and 7.1m grading 8.13g/t gold, 2.84% lead, 3.07% zinc, 86.6g/t silver (Eagle Plains news release December 21st, 2010). Previous drilling 10km north of the Talon Zone in 2008 by Eagle Plains intersected gold mineralization in drill-hole IR08006 which assayed 7.0m grading 51.52g/t (1.50 oz/ton) gold (Eagle Plains news release dated April 20th, 2009).Mineralization at the Pyromorphite Zone (BC MinFile 082FSE141) was discovered in 2009 after construction of logging roads exposed sheared and brecciated sediments hosting cm-scale quartz veins bearing pyromorphite (lead) mineralization. No significant work has been completed at the zone since its initial discovery by the previous tenure holder. Rock (grab) sample SK10-207 reports 27.0 g/t Au, 173.0 g/t Ag, and 13.4% Pb (BC Assessment Report 31659). Rock (grab) sample MK10-170 reports 54.7 g/t Au, 42.2 g/t Ag, and 2.8% Pb (BC Assessment Report 31659). 2025 fieldwork at the Pyromorphite returned up to 13.4 g/t Au, 27.2 g/t Ag, > 10,000 ppm As, and 2.7% Pb from an in situ grab sample. (KBBIRR004) (Eagle Plains news release dated November 17, 2025). The poly-metallic (As-Pb-Zn) nature of the mineralization at the Pyromorphite Zone and the association between arsenopyrite (As) and Au mineralization are consistent with the structurally hosted mineralization that defines the Talon Zone target 12 km to the SW.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.Iron Range Option Agreement DetailsTo exercise the Option, Earthwise must make a series of cash payments and share issuances to Eagle Plains and fund exploration expenditures on the Project. These payments, share issuance and expenditures are separated into two phases, with the first Option entitling the Company to acquire a 70% interest in the Project by paying CA$250,000, issuing an aggregate of 1,500,000 common shares to EPL and funding CA$4,000,000 in exploration expenditures on the Project by over a four-year term.

Earthwise Minerals Begins Drill Program at the Iron Range Gold Project to Define and Expand MineralizationMay 11, 2026 7:00 AM
ACCESS NewswireVANCOUVER, BC / ACCESS Newswire / May 11, 2026 / Earthwise Minerals Corp. (CSE:WISE)(FSE:966)(OTCQB:EWISF) ("Earthwise" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that diamond drilling has commenced at the Talon Zone of the Iron Range Gold Project in southeastern British Columbia, where it holds an option to earn up to an 80% interest from Eagle Plains Resources Ltd. (TSXV:EPL)(OTCQB:EGPLF) ("EPL" or "Eagle Plains").The Phase I drill program is designed to define and expand mineralization from the high-grade core of the Talon system toward a priority geophysical Induced Polarization (IP) target along a down-plunge trend. Drilling will infill the strongest historical intercepts to refine the geometry and continuity of the Talon mineralized system, culminating in a targeted test of a coincident resistivity-conductivity IP geophysical anomaly interpreted to represent a potential extension of the mineralized corridor.Program Highlights:Drilling now underway at the Talon Zone, Iron Range Gold Project.Three diamond drill holes planned for approximately 1,200 metres.Systematic drilling designed to refine the geometry and continuity of the Talon mineralized system.Final hole to test a down-plunge extension toward a strong, untested area of the IP geophysical anomaly associated with historically defined mineralization at the Talon Zone.Program anchored by high-grade historical intercepts, including 56.5 m @ 1.9 g/t Au.Fully permitted project with excellent road access and established infrastructure.Drill Program OverviewThe 2026 drill program consists of approximately 1,200 metres of diamond drilling across three holes designed to systematically advance the Talon Zone.The initial two holes are designed to cross-cut the mineralized structure to better constrain the true thickness, orientation, and continuity of the Talon system. Mineralization is interpreted to be structurally controlled and associated with steeply dipping shear zones.The third hole will test a down-plunge extension of the system along a southwest-trending vector, targeting a zone of stronger IP geophysical response. This hole represents the primary expansion test of the program and is designed to evaluate whether the Talon system strengthens or expands along this interpreted trend.Drill targeting is based on the integration of historical drilling, geophysical datasets, and updated structural interpretation.Historical Drill ResultsHistorical drilling at the Talon Zone (Drill Hole IR10-010, total depth 313.8 m) intersected:56.5 metres grading 1.9 g/t gold, including higher-grade intervals.Notable higher-grade intercepts include:14.0 metres grading 5.1 g/t gold, 1.86% Pb, 2.10% Zn and 75.3 g/t Ag.7.1 metres grading 8.13 g/t gold, 2.84% Pb, 3.07% Zn and 86.6 g/t Ag.(Source: Eagle Plains Resources Ltd., News Release, December 21, 2010)These results highlight the presence of a broad mineralized system hosting discrete higher-grade zones, supporting the potential for a robust and laterally continuous mineralized corridor.Advancing the Talon SystemThe 2026 drill program is designed to advance the Talon Zone through a combination of systematic drilling to refine the geometry and grade of the Talon Zone and targeted testing of a down-plunge geophysical anomaly.Initial drilling focuses on defining the geometry and continuity of mineralization from the strongest known intercepts, while the final hole is positioned to evaluate potential expansion of the system along a clearly defined structural and geophysical trend.Results from this phase of drilling will guide follow-up exploration aimed at expanding the system along strike and down plunge.Geological Context and Significance of the Talon ZoneMineralization at the Talon Zone is structurally controlled and associated with shear zones occurring along the flanks of high chargeability and resistivity anomalies, interpreted to represent steep, west-plunging structures. Gold mineralization is typically associated with sulphide-bearing zones, including arsenopyrite, hosted within breccia and stockwork vein networks.The Talon Zone forms part of a larger mineralized system developed along the Iron Mountain Fault Zone, a major regional structural corridor extending over tens of kilometres. This system exhibits characteristics consistent with a large-scale hydrothermal environment, supporting the potential for expansion along structurally controlled trends.Historical drilling has confirmed a broad mineralized corridor hosting multiple higher-grade shoots within a wider envelope of mineralization. The zone remains open in multiple directions, supporting the potential for continued expansion as drilling progresses.Key attributes of the Talon Zone include:Broad mineralized corridor defined by historical drilling.Structurally controlled system associated with a major regional fault.Presence of multiple higher-grade shoots within a wider mineralized envelope.Mineralization open along strike and at depth.Project Scale & Exploration PotentialThe Iron Range Gold Project is a district-scale land package covering approximately 21,437 hectares in southeastern British Columbia and spans over 30 kilometres of the Iron Range Fault Zone, a major regional structural corridor associated with mineralization.Key project attributes include:21,593 metres of historical drilling (87 holes).2,482 line-kilometres of geophysical surveys.Over $8 million in historical exploration expenditures.Year-round road access and proximity to power, rail, and smelting facilities.Fully permitted for drilling.This extensive dataset provides a strong foundation for efficient, cost-effective exploration and supports the systematic advancement of multiple targetsInfrastructure & PermittingThe Iron Range Gold Project benefits from established infrastructure and permitting that support efficient and cost-effective exploration.Key advantages include:Year-round road access via Highway 3.Proximity to rail, power, and natural gas infrastructure.Access to regional smelting facilities.A fully permitted drill program.These factors reduce logistical complexity and support the efficient execution of ongoing and future exploration programs.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.Management CommentaryMark Luchinski, CEO of Earthwise Minerals, commented:"We are starting this program from a position of strength at the Talon Zone, where historical drilling has already confirmed a broad mineralized system hosting higher-grade zones. Our initial drilling is designed to refine our understanding of the geometry, continuity, and structural controls of the Talon system while testing extensions of historically defined mineralization.The program culminates in a targeted test of a down-plunge extension associated with a stronger area of IP geophysical response, representing an important opportunity to evaluate the expansion potential of the system. This disciplined, data-driven approach is designed to advance our understanding of Talon and support future exploration targeting."Granting of Incentive Stock OptionsEarthwise announces that its Board of Directors has approved the granting of 1,400,000 incentive stock options (the "Options") to senior executives, directors and consultants of the Company. The Options grant the holder the right to purchase common shares in the capital of the Company (each, a "Common Share") at a deemed price of $0.08 per Common Share.

Eagle Plains Expands George Lake Deposit Mineralization, Reports 3.48% Zn+Pb over 45.1m in Step-out DrillingMay 7, 2026 7:00 AM
ACCESS NewswireCRANBROOK, BC / ACCESS Newswire / May 7, 2026 / Eagle Plains Resources Ltd. (TSXV:EPL)(OTCQB:EGPLF) ("EPL" or "Eagle Plains") is pleased to report that assay results have been received from its maiden drill program at its 100% owned George Lake Project. Drilling successfully intersected sphalerite (Zn) and galena (Pb) in aggressive step-out holes at the historically defined George Lake Zn/Pb deposit. A total of 1591m in three holes was drilled. The deepest 2026 intersection is approximately 180m vertically below the deepest historical intercept, significantly increasing the down-dip extent of mineralization. Results indicate that the sub-vertical orientation and reported grades of stratiform mineralization remains consistent and predictable at depth. Mineralization remains open along strike and to depth.The 2026 drill targeting was driven by results from geophysical and technical work, paired with advanced interpretation. The holes were located to test for down dip extensions of the prospective mineralized stratigraphy, over a strike length of 385m. Mineralization at the deposit has been defined over a strike length of 610m and 420m vertical depth. The program was conducted by TerraLogic Exploration Inc. of Cranbrook, BC under the direction of Kerry Bates, P.Geo., Exploration Manager for Eagle Plains. The drill contractor was New Age Drilling Solutions.2026 HighlightsDDH GL26002 returns 45.1m @ 3.14% Zn/0.34% Pb (420m vertical depth from surface)2026 drilling confirms predictable orientation of host stratigraphyKnown mineralization extended up to 180m down-dip from historical interceptsDeposit mineralization open down-dip and along strike2026 George Lake Drill Plan 2026 Drilling SummaryHole IDFrom (m)To (m)Int (m)*Ag (g/t)Pb (%)Zn (%)Zn+Pb (%)GL26001480.9536.155.21.700.252.482.73inc502.1511.08.92.130.584.665.23GL26002472.0517.145.11.440.343.143.48inc480.0498.018.02.200.614.455.05GL26003402.0443.041.01.670.382.172.55inc411.6414.42.82.760.614.254.85*Reported intervals reflect drillhole thicknessHole IDEasting*Northing*AzDipTotal

The mineralized zone was intersected from 396.4-450.6m, a drill length of 54.2m, returning 2.17% Zn/0.38% Pb including 2.8m (411.6-414.4m) @ 4.25% Zn/0.61% Pb. The mineralized horizon was intersected approximately 157m downdip from GL08-03.Chuck Downie, P.Geo., President and CEO of Eagle Plains recently stated "The results from the 2026 drilling demonstrate the predictable orientation of the George Lake mineralization and the potential for further expansion. With only 610m of the almost 8km strike length of known mineralization adequately tested by diamond drilling, we believe that continued wide spaced drilling can rapidly expand the footprint of the mineralized zone. The excellent infrastructure and property topography lends itself to cost effective year-round exploration."Stratiform mineralization at the George Lake Deposit area occurs as disseminated sphalerite-pyrite and minor galena, with local sphalerite stringer veins hosted in clean, white quartzite of the upper Souter Lake Formation. The host quartzite displays pervasive silicification and moderate sericite alteration and is bound by overlying argillite (George Lake Formation) and underlying biotitic quartzite (Souter Lake Formation) interpreted to form a stratigraphically controlled porosity trap for migrating mineralizing fluids. Deposit-type interpretation is on-going, but mineralization is consistent with the sandstone-hosted Zn/Pb mineralization of the Laisvall Deposit, and could represent sub-surface epigenetic mineralization within a broader SEDEX or MVT-type system. Future work will focus on continued expansion of the known mineralization at the deposit and outlying targets.George Lake is one of the projects included in a formal Exploration Agreement between Eagle Plains and the Ya'thi Néné Lands and Resource Office ("YNLR"), representing the Athabasca Denesuliné First Nations of Hatchet Lake, Black Lake, and Fond du Lac, the Northern Hamlet of Stony Rapids, and the Northern Settlements of Uranium City, Wollaston Lake and Camsell Portage. YNLR has been providing technical support for the program.The project was eligible for the Saskatchewan Targeted Mineral Exploration Incentive (TMEI), which may provide funding of up to $150,000 towards drilling-related program costs.All drill indicated intercepts as reported in this news release are measured along core length and true thickness is yet to be determined.About the George Lake ProjectThe fully permitted 6165 ha George Lake project is located 280km north of La Ronge, Saskatchewan. The project has excellent access and is located on a recently completed highway connecting Saskatchewan Highway 905 to the community of Wollaston Lake. Eagle Plains holds a 100% interest in claims comprising the property, subject to a 2% royalty held in favour of Summit Royalties Ltd., 1% of which can be bought back by Eagle Plains for $1,000,000.George Lake Project Highlights4,131m of historical drilling completed in 22 holes at the deposit, with the best drill holes returning 57.9m grading 2.65% Zn and 0.41% Pb (including 13.5m grading 4.36% Zn and 0.76% Pb) (DDH GL08-01) and 47.8m grading 4.03% Zn and 0.44% Pb (including 8.0m grading 6.96% Zn and 01.42% Pb) (DDH GL08-02) (SMAF 64E05 0033);George Lake Deposit comes to surface and has dimensions of approximately 35m width x 800m length, and is open to depth and along strike;Potential for discovery of extensions of existing mineralization and other discrete mineralization elsewhere on the property;See George Lake Project Information and Map hereThe property overlies 13 Saskatchewan Mineral Deposit Index ("SMDI") occurrences including the George Lake Zn Deposit. Zinc and lead mineralized boulders were discovered in the George Lake area in 1965 which led Falconbridge Nickel Mines to acquire a large land position in the area, resulting in a 34-hole diamond drill program in 1969-70 which defined the George Lake deposit. The deposit contains sedimentary-exhalative ("sedex") style mineralization, with a higher-grade core of >5% Zn.Some of the above results were taken directly from the SMDI descriptions and assessment reports (SMAF) filed with the Saskatchewan government.

Eagle Plains Adds Additional Dispositions at the Pine Channel Au Project, Northern SaskatchewanMay 5, 2026 7:00 AM
ACCESS NewswireCRANBROOK, BC / ACCESS Newswire / May 5, 2026 / Eagle Plains Resources Ltd. (TSXV:EPL)(OTCQB:EGPLF) ("EPL" or "Eagle Plains") is pleased to announce that it has acquired, through the MARS online tenure system, additional mineral dispositions contiguous with it's 100% owned Pine Channel Property, located approximately 40km km west of Stoney Rapids, Saskatchewan. The three dispositions total 996.3ha, increasing the Pine Channel project area to a total of 6059 ha, and cover a Saskatchewan Mineral Deposit Index (SMDI) occurrence.The Pine Channel property is subject to a 2% NSR held by Summit Royalties, which includes a 1% buy-back clause to Eagle Plains.SMDI 2329 Drill Holes G-1 to G-3 are located 2.98 km north of the ELA Showing (SMDI 2329). These BQ holes were drilled to test a narrow set of quartz veins over 100 m of strike hosted within sheared biotite-feldsparquartz gneiss. The quartz-carbonate veins are mineralized with pyrite, pyrrhotite and minor sphalerite. Hole G-1 assayed 1.03 g/t Au from 42.0-45 m including 1.66 g/t Au from 43-44.0 m, 3.20 g/t Au from 51.5-52.5 m and 1.00 g/t from 59.0-59.6 m. Hole G-3 assayed 0.32 g/t Au from 32.8-33.8 m and 0.30 g/t Au from 34.2-35.5 m.The most recent work at Pine Channel was a 6-day field program completed in 2025. Fieldwork followed up on encouraging results from 2020, with refined targeting provided by the compilation and interpretation of airborne magnetic and LIDAR results obtained in 2022 and 2024. 2025 analytical results from rock sampling ranged from trace values to a highest value of 427g/t Au (grab sample), with eleven samples returning over 3 g/t Au, including 4 samples over 34 g/t Au. The highest-grade mineralization from the 2025 program was concentrated at the Pit and ELA occurrences, where sampling returned gold grades (up to 427 g/t Au) with consistently anomalous silver (up to 111 g/t Ag), and associated pathfinder elements arsenic and antimony.Sampling of targets identified through lineament analyses in the areas of known mineralization confirmed the potential for additional gold bearing structures. The program was managed by TerraLogic Exploration Inc. of Cranbrook, BC.(see EPL NR - Eagle Plains Reports up to 427g/t Au at the Pine Channel Gold Project)Comprehensive data interpretation and analyses is underway to define and prioritize targets for diamond drill testing.See Pine Channel Property Information and Map hereThe Pine Channel Property consists of 30 mineral dispositions covering 6059 hectares located approximately 40 km west of Stony Rapids, Saskatchewan which is the logistics/business hub for northern Saskatchewan. The property can be accessed year-round by float- or ski-equipped aircraft from Stony Rapids or Fort McMurray, AB. The eastern and northern part of the property is transected by a high voltage powerline. Most geological fieldwork is limited to late May to October but other operations such as geophysical surveys and diamond drilling can be completed year-round.Pine Channel Property Highlights:Highlights from documented historical work and previously reported results include:Algold Bay: 63.5 g/t Au over 0.6 m (drill hole) (SMDI 1575)North Norite Bay: 407.96 g/t Au over 0.5 m (drill hole) (SMDI 2183)ELA: 39.96 g/t Au over 0.55 m (drill hole) (SMDI 1574)Holes G-1 and G-3: 3.20 g/t Au over 1 m (drill hole) (SMDI 2329)Occurrence No. 6/Occurrence No. 8: 90.6 g/t Au over 0.2 m (trench sample) (SMDI 1581)Cole Lake Ni-Cu: 0.45% Ni over 7.0 m (drill hole), 6.2 g/t Au, 0.01% Ni and 0.06% Cu over 3.0 m (trench sample) (SMDI 1583)Multiple untested geophysical anomalies and mineralized trends associated with favourable geologyThe main deposit type that is being explored for at Pine Channel is structurally controlled vein-quartz (lode) gold deposits. Mineral occurrences on the Pine Channel Property contain predominantly gold, with rare base metal occurrences. Within the Pine Channel tenures there are twenty documented historical showings.Government mapping in the Pine Channel area dates from 1913, with the first industry work reported in 1950. A total of 51 assessment reports have been filed within the current Pine Channel tenure area. Past operators include Golden Rule Resources Ltd. and Colchis Resources Ltd. who were both active on the project during the 1980's, the last sustained period of exploration in the area. The most recent work prior to Eagle Plains acquiring the claims in 2018 was in 2013 when the area was flown with an airborne Variable Time Domain Electromagnetic ("VTEM") survey focused on locating targets for diamond exploration. There has been a total of 6,066 metres of diamond drilling in 115 historic holes completed within the current Pine Channel property claim boundaries, with the majority of the holes completed less than 100 metres in length. Although the wide-spaced drilling did intersect significant gold mineralization in places, much of the drilling was completed using thin diameter core which is considered ineffective for assessing the high-grade "nuggety" gold shears and veins found at Pine Channel.Since acquiring the property, Eagle Plains has completed field programs focused on prospecting and mapping in areas of known mineral occurrences. The work confirms the widespread occurrences of auriferous quartz veins and associated shear systems in the Pine Channel property. Analytical results from the seventy-two rock samples collected in 2020 range from 6 ppb Au to 68,400 ppb Au (68.4 g/t Au). Twenty-three of the samples returned greater than 1 g/t Au, and eight returned greater than 10 g/t Au. The most encouraging of the known showings are the ELA Shaft showing (SMDI 1574) and Occurrence No. 6 and No. 8 (SMDI 1581), which both demonstrate anomalous gold geochemical results and potential for extension of known mineralization along strike.2022 and 2024 work included a helicopter-borne high-resolution aeromagnetic and radiometric survey and a high-resolution LiDAR and orthophoto survey. Lineation analyses of the LiDAR imaging, combined with the aeromagnetic data, defined a number of new target areas adjacent to and along strike from known mineralization, which will be priority targets for future exploration.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 the SMDI descriptions and assessment reports (SMAD) filed with the Saskatchewan 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. Eagle Plains' 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.Qualified PersonTechnical information in this News Release has been reviewed and approved by C.C.

Eagle Plains and Xcite Expand Beaver River Uranium ProjectMay 4, 2026 7:00 AM
ACCESS NewswireCRANBROOK, BC / ACCESS Newswire / May 4, 2026 / Eagle Plains Resources Ltd. (TSXV:EPL)(OTCQB:EGPLF) ("EPL" or "Eagle Plains") has offered to Xcite Uranium Inc. (TSX-V:XRI) ("XRI or Xcite"), and Xcite has accepted, two dispositions recently acquired by staking in the Uranium City area, northern Saskatchewan. The two dispositions fall within an Area of Mutual Interest ("AMI") and as such, will become included in the Beaver River project, increasing the project size by 1469.7ha to a total of 4502.4ha. In December 2023 Eagle Plains granted Xcite the exclusive right to earn up to an 80% interest in the Gulch, Lorado, Beaver River, Black Bay, Don Lake, and Smitty projects (see Dec 14 news release). The six projects comprising the Xcite option agreements cover 54 Saskatchewan Mineral Deposit Index (SMDI) occurrences and five past-producing uranium mines, and are 100% owned by Eagle Plains.See Uranium City project map hereThe Beaver River uranium project, located 40km SE of Uranium City, Saskatchewan, hosts near surface high grade uranium mineralization.The Uranium City projects are included in a formal Exploration Agreement between Eagle Plains and the Ya'thi Néné Lands and Resource Office ("YNLR"), representing the Athabasca Denesuliné First Nations of Hatchet Lake, Black Lake, and Fond du Lac, the Northern Hamlet of Stony Rapids, and the Northern Settlements of Uranium City, Wollaston Lake and Camsell Portage.Beaver River HighlightsHistorical assays up to 29.89% U3O8 in trench chip samplesHistorical drill intersections include 0.18% U3O8 over 0.3m and 0.06% U3O8 over 0.61mRecognized mineralized trend >1km in lengthProspective for polymetallic Beaverlodge-type uranium mineralization in E-W and NW-SE trending fault zonesSee Beaver River Compilation map hereExploration UpdateBeaver River was one of the projects covered by a 2025 VTEM plus airborne geophysical survey carried out by Geotech Airborne Geophysical Surveys. The survey results have been received and are being interpreted and modelled to identify addition target areas for 2026 fieldwork, leading to fall 2026 diamond drilling.About the Beaver River ProjectThe 4502.4ha project overlies 5 Saskatchewan Mineral Deposit Index ("SMDI") occurrences associated with Beaverlodge-type uranium mineralization.The polymetallic VIC U-Cu-Ni zone (SMDI 1551, 1553, and 1994) occurs along a NW-SE trending fault zone which has been traced for approximately 1 km. Mineralization occurs in fracture filling of quartz veins hosting sulphides, graphite, and pitchblende and uraninite, ore minerals of uranium. Historical assays of channel samples in this zone yield up to 29.89% U3O8 over 0.3m, 18.09% U3O8 over 0.2m and 3.09% U3O8 over 0.6m (AF 74O05-0077). The southeast zone has been tested by nine shallow drill holes, averaging 80m in length, returning assays of 0.18% U3O8 over 0.3m (AF74O05-0016) and 0.06% U3O8 over 0.61m along with anomalous copper, nickel, gold and silver (AF74O05-0051). The northwest portion of the VIC zone, identified as a priority for follow-up by Denison Mines, has yet to be tested by drilling.Another significant mineral occurrence on the Beaver River property is the Combined Mining Uranium Showing (SMDI 1557) where northeast-trending pitchblende-bearing fractures have ben mapped over a strike length of 137.2m. Assays from trenches yielded 0.23% U3O8 over 0.5m and 1.77% U3O8 over 0.9m.Since uranium mineralization on the Beaver River property was first noted in 1958 the property has seen a total of 1708m of diamond drilling in 26 shallow holes, with the last drilling completed in 1969 by Trans-Canada Resources. Other historical work includes prospecting, mapping, scintillometer surveys, trenching at the main showing areas, and airborne and ground-based geophysics.An electromagnetic and magnetic VTEM survey flown by Geotech for Fission 3.0 in 2016 covered the eastern part of the Beaver River property. The survey outlined numerous areas of enhanced conductivity including areas of parallel conductors with offsets and termination points indicative of cross structure, including a high priority conductive trend located west of the Combined SMDI occurrence. Follow-up prospecting and geochemical sampling was recommended to evaluate the source of the anomalies.The last recorded assessment work on the project was by Fission 3.0 who successfully located and resampled historic trenches at the VIC occurrence.Management of Eagle Plains and Xcite are encouraged by the tenor of mineralization displayed in trenches and shallow historical drilling at Beaver River and the potential for additional uranium mineralization both along strike and to depth within known mineralized areas, along trends identified by historical geophysical surveys, and on any additional targets generated by 2024 work.Rock grab samples are selective samples by nature and as such are not necessarily representative of the mineralization hosted across the property. The above results were taken directly from the SMDI descriptions and assessment reports) filed with the Saskatchewan 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.About the Beaverlodge Uranium DistrictThe Beaver River, Black Bay, Don Lake, Gulch, Lorado, and Smitty projects are located in the Beaverlodge District near Uranium City in the Lake Athabasca region of Saskatchewan. Occurrences of uranium mineralization are abundant in the Uranium City area and have been explored and documented since the 1940s. The Beaverlodge camp was the first uranium producer in Canada, with historic production of approximately 70.25 million pounds of U3O8 between 1950-1982, from ore grades averaging 0.23% U3O8. The two largest producers were the Eldorado Beaverlodge (Ace-Fay-Verna) mine and the Gunnar uranium mine. The Beaverlodge area has seen limited uranium focused exploration since the early 1990's.The Uranium City area projects have potential for both Beaverlodge-style and basement-hosted uranium mineralization. Key features about the projects include:Outcropping, largely northeast-southwest-trending tectonic fabric;Electromagnetic conductors that have been confirmed as graphite-rich pelites within or near major faults;Anomalous uranium geochemistry and radioactivity associated with graphitic faults;Compelling property-wide evidence for hydrothermal alteration;Uranium mineralization with corresponding elevations in pathfinder elements.These factors, along with the presence of a substantial uranium endowment in both basement rocks and Athabasca basin cover rocks, indicate excellent potential for economic uranium mineralization within the project. The mineralization, structures and alteration identified on the claims to date are strong indicators of the possibility of a nearby source for the uranium mineralization.Eagle Plains' 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.Uranium City Option AgreementUnder the terms of the agreements, Xcite may earn an 80% interest in each of the Beaver River, Black Bay, Don Lake, Gulch, Lorado, and Smitty projects by completing CDN$3,200,000 in exploration expenditures, issuing 750,000 common shares of Xcite and making cash payments to Eagle Plains of CDN$55,000 over four years, for an aggregate of CDN$19,200,000 in exploration expenditures, 4,500,000 shares and $330,000 in cash to Eagle Plains. Upon Xcite fulfilling the terms of any or all of the earn-in agreements, an 80/20 joint venture will be formed, with Eagle Plains retaining a carried interest in all expenditures until delivery by Xcite or its assigns of a bankable feasibility study. During the option earn in period, XRI will be appointed as operator, and EPL will manage the exploration programs under the direction of a joint technical committee. The projects are owned 100% by EPL, who will retain an underlying 2% NSR royalty on the each of the properties.Qualified PersonsCharles C.

Regional structural trends of folding and faulting are dominantly NW.MineralizationThere are four deposit types in the Mount Haskins area: carbonate replacement, skarn, porphyry, and vein.About the Haskins-Reed ProjectThe Haskins-Reed Property has been explored in several phases by different companies since the late 1940s, including approximately 198 drill holes. The 100% owned land package, which includes 6 "Crown Grant" claims, is host to multiple mineral prospects.B Zone (Minfile 104P 038): Skarn-hosted semi-massive to massive sulphide lenses, with silver- and gold-bearing pyrrhotite-sphalerite-chalcopyrite-galena mineralization, are hosted by metasomatized carbonate rocks. Mineralization occurs as three lenses with an aggregate strike length of 308 metres, an average true width of 8 metres, and an average dip of -40° with strong vertical continuity.Mount Reed molybdenum-tungsten prospect (Minfile 104P 043): Molybdenum and tungsten mineralization is hosted by peripheral contact metamorphic exoskarn developed in carbonate-rich metasedimentary rocks of the Atan Group. These rocks surround a small Eocene-age porphyritic granitic stock, with additional porphyry-style mineralization found within the intrusion itself. Historical drilling returned values of 2.01% WO3 over 3.3 metres, 0.37% WO3 over 5.18 metres and 0.17% WO3 over 54.8 metres.Joe Reed vein prospect (Minfile 104P 021): Silver-rich sphalerite-galena-pyrite shear-hosted vein mineralization occurs within a persistent northerly-trending fault zone that cuts through Lower Cambrian Atan Group quartzite, limestone, and dolomite. A steep, westerly-dipping quartz vein averaging 1.5 metres wide can be traced along strike for 170 metres.Brett Zone (Minfile 104P 136): Skarn-hosted massive sulphide zone with silver- and gold-bearing pyrrhotite-sphalerite-chalcopyrite-galena mineralization is hosted by metasomatized metasedimentary rocks immediately northwest of the Mount Reed stock.Dako and Cobra zones (Minfile 104P 139, 058): Disseminated to locally massive pyrrhotite-rich base metal garnet skarn mineralization is hosted at a limestone-argillite contact within metasedimentary rocks altered to calc-silicate hornfels and skarns. Mineralization consists of pyrrhotite, sphalerite, and minor galena and chalcopyrite. The local geology is very similar to the Brett Zone.Meteor Zone (Minfile 104P 137): This polymetallic gold-silver-lead-zinc skarn-hosted prospect was discovered during the 2010 trenching program while evaluating coincident soil geochemical and aeromagnetic anomalies in the northcentral portion of the Property. It has been traced over 555 metres of strike length, with widths ranging from 4 to 16 metres, and remains open along strike and down-dip. 2010 excavator trenching returned intervals such as 24.70 metres grading 0.292 g/t Au, 57.11 g/t Ag, 1.21% Pb, and 3.67% Zn (Trench #4), with a nearby grab sample returning 0.680 g/t Au, 176 g/t Ag, 0.75% Pb, and 12.30% Zn. 2011 drilling intersected 17.5 metres grading 88.35 g/t Ag, 1.11% Pb, and 3.39% Zn.Since acquiring an option on the Haskins-Reed Property in 2008, Pacific Bay has carried out substantial additional exploration including drilling campaigns in 2011 and 2018, a full-property airborne geophysical survey, trenching, geochemical surveys, mapping, and a digital compilation of most of the project's historic maps, drill logs, and other exploration data.Some of the above results were taken directly from MINFILE descriptions and assessment reports (ARIS) filed with the BC government.

2026 Catalysts


I am convinced that prospect generation is the best model in the minerals space for investing long term. I really like this Eagle Plains Resources on the tsx venture exchange (EPL.V or EPGLF.) Yes it’s super small / microcap but it’s the most disciplined microcap I’ve ever seen. Their board is almost all professional geologists and they have a ton of projects that they fund by farming out with JV or otherwise other people's money and or their own revenue from geo services. Cash flow positive, they have half their market cap in cash on hand already… Very interesting variety of catalysts lined up exploration wise (see image above)… cash returned to shareholders via spinouts.

Its been enjoyable researching the variety of projects they have. The experience and pragmatism shows. I love how they spread out risk over longer term.

On stock side, im eyeing those warrants that were extended 2025-2026, yes a gesture of goodwill to the private placement that purchased them (and future financings), but it pins .25 and .30 as potential resistance / dilution zones. Will they expire worthless or will we see some fireworks between here and then?

===Eagle Plains Resources ("Eagle Plains") staked the current claims immediately after the Crown grants reverted in 2000, and it has been exploring the property since then. ====

Hello btrain,

Hope you are doing well....I once again sold my wnr early and appreciate your post over there last year. You once timed a low in that stock almost perfectly....

Anyway, I was wondering if you know just how this process of staking a claim is done? Does one wait in some office waiting in line once a deadline passes, or is it done electronically?

With the popularity of shows on the Discovery TV station like, "Gold Rush," and "Bering Sea Gold," I have often wondered just how one "stakes a claim," in modern times....

Take Care and GLTU.

News for 'EPL.V/EGPLF' - Providence Completes Earn-In on Iron Range Option, Enters
Joint-Venture with Eagle Plains


Cranbrook, British Columbia CANADA, Mar 12, 2012 (Filing Services Canada via
COMTEX) -- Providence Resources Corp. (TSX-V: PV) ("Providence" or the
"Company") and Eagle Plains Resources Ltd. (EPL - TSX Venture, EGPLF - OTC Pink)
("Eagle Plains") are pleased to announce that Providence has exercised its
option with Eagle Plains and earned a 60% undivided right, title and interest in
and to the Iron Range Project located near Creston, British Columbia. Providence
earned its interest by making aggregate cash payments of $500,000, issuing a
total of 1,000,000 common shares and completing exploration expenditures of
$3,000,000.

In accordance with the terms of the option agreement, Providence and Eagle
Plains are deemed to have formed a joint venture for exploration and development
of the Iron Range Project. The parties have recently executed a formal joint
venture agreement and are in advanced planning and permitting for a drilling
program which is expected to commence on the property by late March.

Tim Termuende, P.Geo, President and CEO of Eagle Plains stated recently "we
welcome the opportunity to work as joint-venture partners with Providence in the
future exploration of the Iron Range project. We are encouraged by results to
date and acknowledge and appreciate the aggressive, systematic approach taken by
Providence to date. Together, we hope to unlock the potential of the property"

Iron Range Project Summary

The Iron Range deposits were originally staked in 1897, and were covered by
Crown grants held by Cominco Ltd. and the Canadian Pacific Railway. Eagle Plains
Resources ("Eagle Plains") staked the current claims immediately after the Crown
grants reverted in 2000, and it has been exploring the property since then.
Exploration work to date includes geological mapping, geochemical surveys,
diamond drilling and a 690-line-kilometre airborne geophysical survey.

The Iron Range project is owned 100% by Eagle Plains and holds no underlying
royalties or encumbrances. An additional 35,800 hectares of claims were added to
the original land package, resulting in a total of 56,200 hectares -- an area
approximately 11 km by 50 km. The land package now covers over 30 km of the Iron
Range structure, most of it unexplored. The claims also overlie rocks of the
Aldridge formation, including the same stratigraphic time horizon that hosts the
world-class Sullivan deposit located 70 km to the northeast. Over its 100-year
lifetime, Sullivan produced approximately 150 million tonnes of ore including
three billion ounces of silver, eight million tonnes of zinc and eight million
tonnes of lead, collectively worth over $30-billion at current metal prices. The
parties caution that past results or discoveries on proximate land are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be achieved on the Iron Range
property.

About Eagle Plains Resources

Eagle Plains continues to conduct research, acquire and explore mineral projects
throughout western Canada. Since 1992, EPL has been acquiring and developing
early stage projects utilizing an in-house team of geologists, technicians and
specialists. Considered a prolific project generator with over 35 properties,
EPL invites joint venture participation to expedite development, reduce risk and
enhance exposure to discovery.

Current third party agreements if maintained to completion expose EPL to over
$55M in exploration expenditures, $6M cash and 15M shares in partner companies.
Completed agreements have yielded over $5M in exploration spending, $900,000
cash to EPL and a total of 12M shares of partner companies including Alexco
Resource Corp., NovaGold Resources Inc., Giyani Gold Corp., Aben Resources Ltd.
and others.

Expenditures during 2011 on Eagle Plains-related projects were approximately
$9,100,000 which was funded by Eagle Plains and third party partners. This
exploration work resulted in approximately 9400m diamond drilling and extensive
ground-based exploration work facilitating the advancement of more than 15
projects at various stages of development. Planning is currently underway for a
very aggressive 2012 exploration season, with over 10 individual drilling
programs planned, most to be funded by third parties in relation to ongoing
option agreements.

Feb 21, 2012 - News for 'EPL.V/EGPLF' - Eagle Plains/Providence Identify 3 High-Priority Drill Targets
from 2011 Airborne EM Geophysical Surveys


Feb 21, 2012 (Filing Services Canada via COMTEX) -- Eagle Plains/Providence
Identify 3 High-Priority Drill Targets from 2011 Airborne EM Geophysical Surveys

Vancouver, B.C., February 21, 2012: Eagle Plains Resources Ltd. (TSX-V:EPL) and
Providence Resources Corp. (TSX-V: PV) and Providence Resources Corp. (TSX-V:
PV) are pleased to announce receipt of results from airborne geophysical field
surveys carried out over their Iron Range JV project located near Creston
British Columbia. During October-November 2011, Geotech Ltd. carried out VTEM
time-domain EM and ZTEM AFMAG surveys over parts of the Iron Range Project. The
results have subsequently been processed and interpreted by Condor Consulting,
Inc. of Lakewood Colorado.

Highlights:

* 440 line-km of airborne geophysical data has been collected over the Property
area during 2011.

* 3 high-priority VTEM electromagnetic geophysical anomalies have been
delineated in the Row target area, and are coincident with a 5km-long arsenic,
zinc and lead soil geochemical anomaly.

* The ZTEM survey successfully identified the Iron Range Fault as well as a
northeast-trending fault similar in orientation to the gold-bearing faults at
the Talon Zone.

"Geophysical data collected on the Iron Range Project has produced three high
priority EM conductors that coincide with lead, zinc and arsenic geochemical
anomalies on the Row Target Area," stated Providence Resources Corp.'s President
and CEO Vince Sorace. "The combined results from the geophysical surveys have
fine-tuned the Iron Range geological model and increased our confidence in the
Row Target area which will be drill-tested upon receipt of applicable permits,
which are expected by Q2, 2012."

Geophysical Survey Results

VTEM time domain-EM

A total of 7 anomalies were defined from the VTEM survey; see
http://www.eagleplains.com/projects/bc/ironrange/documents/vtem_2011geophysicsmap.pdf
Anomalies 1-3 represent high-priority EM anomalies and are located within and
immediately adjacent to a ~5 kilometer-long lead-zinc-arsenic soil anomaly
situated in prospective middle Aldridge Formation sedimentary rocks. These three
anomalies may be an indication of subsurface Sullivan style lead-zinc-silver
mineralization and will be drill tested in Spring, 2012. Anomalies 4 to 7
represent secondary priority targets and are likely related to the subsurface
geology. Anomaly 4 is a broad, low level conductor associated with a magnetic
contact and is interpreted to represent a near-surface bedrock anomaly or
conductive overburden. Anomaly 5 is a formational anomaly defined by coincident
EM and magnetic anomalies which correspond to the location of a sliver of upper
Aldridge Formation sedimentary rocks. Anomaly 6 is a broad, northeast trending
conductive zone associated with a linear, northeast trending magnetic anomaly.
Drilling done in this area indicates that the anomaly is related to graphite
within the Aldridge Formation sedimentary rocks. Anomaly 7 is interpreted to be
an artifact that is related to a power line that transects this portion of the
VTEM survey.

ZTEM AFMAG Survey

The ZTEM orientation survey was conducted over the Canyon Target (Talon Zone) to
determine whether this geophysical method would be capable of mapping bedrock
geology based upon the known resistivity and magnetic susceptibility contrasts
within the Aldridge sedimentary rocks; see
http://www.eagleplains.com/projects/bc/ironrange/documents/ztem_2011geophysicsmap.pdf
The survey successfully identified the Iron Range Fault as well as a
northeast-trending fault similar in orientation to the gold-bearing faults at
the Talon Zone. In addition, the survey identified the broad conductive zone
also detected by the VTEM survey. This information is useful in better
understanding the subsurface geology of the Iron Range area and how known target
areas relate to major rock units and structures.



2012 Exploration Program

The Company intends to execute a full exploration program beginning in March,
2012 (subject to receipt of permits) with the objective of systematically
evaluating all existing exploration data, utilizing newly acquired geophysical
data, field evaluating all resulting anomalies and ultimately drill testing the
highest priority targets.

* Geophysical gravity survey - it is anticipated that results from this work
will be available in March, 2012.

* Winter drilling (Phase I) of high-priority geophysical and geochemical
anomalies. High priority targets have been identified during the evaluation of
historical geochemistry, 2011 soil geochemical surveys, and 2011 airborne
geophysical data. Additional targets are anticipated.

* Field work will be completed in summer 2012 with the objective of bringing
remaining targets to the drill testing stage for Phase II drilling in late 2012.

Geophysical Survey Specifications

Versatile Time Domain Electromagnetic Survey (VTEM)

The Geotech Ltd. airborne VTEM survey was flown in an east to west (N 172? E
azimuth) direction, with a line spacing of 200 meters. Tie lines were flown
perpendicular to the traverse lines (N 82 degrees E azimuth) at a spacing of
1800 meters respectively for a total of 282.3 line kilometers. This survey also
included a cesium magnetometer. The VTEM plus receiver and transmitter coils
were in concentric-coplanar and Z-direction oriented configuration. The receiver
system for the survey also included a coincident-coaxial X-direction coil to
measure the in-line dB/dt and calculate B-Field responses. The EM bird was towed
at a mean distance of 35 meters below the helicopter.

Z-Axis Tipper Electromagnetic Survey (ZTEM)

Geotech Ltd. carried out a 160.0 line-kilometer, helicopter-borne AFMAG Z-axis
Tipper electromagnetic (ZTEM) and aero magnetic (caesium magnetometer)
geophysical survey centered on the Canyon Target Area. The survey was flown in a
southwest to northeast (N 78 degrees E azimuth) direction, with flight line
spacing between 200 and 250 metres (mean height of 277 meters). Tie lines were
not flown. According to survey specifications, a vertical-dipole air-core
receiver coil and two orthogonal, air-core horizontal axis coils are placed
close to the survey site to measure the horizontal EM reference fields. Data
from the three coils are used to obtain the Tzx and Tzy "Tipper" components at
six frequencies in the 30 to 720 Hz band.

Feb 14, 2012 -News for 'EPL.V/EGPLF' - Eagle Plains Samples High-Grade Uranium, Increases Land Position
at Wollaston Project, Northern Saskatchewan


Cranbrook, British Columbia CANADA, Feb 14, 2012 (Filing Services Canada via
COMTEX) -- Eagle Plains Resources Ltd. (EPL - TSX Venture, EGPLF - OTC Pink)has
completed staking activity following receipt of high-grade assay results from
grab samples taken during 2011 fieldwork on its Wollaston Project, located
within the Athabasca region of north-central Saskatchewan.

The Wollaston claims are located along highway 905, an all-season road with
access to the nearby Rabbit Lake and Cigar Lake uranium mines. The 5000 ha,
road-accessible property was originally staked by Eagle Plains in early 2011,
based on prospective airborne radiometric anomalies and coincident lake-sediment
U and REE anomalies proximal to a published Saskatchewan Mineral Index showing.
The mineral claims are 100% owned by Eagle Plains Resources and have no
underlying royalties or encumbrances.

Reconnaissance fieldwork by Eagle Plains during summer and fall, 2011, revealed
anomalous radioactivity along a 460m strike length of Wollaston metasediments,
intruded by numerous sills and mineralized fractures. Ten grab samples were
collected along the 460m strike length, two of which returned very significant
mineralization: 7.05% and 1.40% U3O8, with up to 2.93% ThO2, 16700 ppm lead, and
1167 ppm TREE (total rare-earth elements).

The claim group region is comprised of Archean granite inliers, overlain by
metasedimentary rocks of the Wollaston Group, all of which have been intruded by
pegmatite dykes and stocks. This sequence of basement rocks is similar to those
that host the lower ore bodies of the Eagle Point Mine, and as such;
basement-hosted unconformity-style mineralization remains a viable target
deposit type.

The Proof’s In The Porphyry
Northern Freegold Drills Yukon Gold, Silver, Copper, Moly
By Greg Klein

Northern Freegold’s TSXV:NFR January 18 inferred resource estimate was, as President/CEO/Director John Burges says, another milestone in its rapidly advancing Freegold Mountain Project in central Yukon. The Revenue Deposit’s initial 43-101 came in addition to the adjacent Nucleus Deposit’s existing resource of 1.39 million gold-equivalent ounces indicated and 898,000 gold-equivalent ounces inferred.

The boost of 3.66 million gold-equivalent ounces prompted analysts Michael Fowler and Leonie Soltay of Loewen Ondaatje McCutcheon to rate Northern Freegold a speculative buy with a target of $1.44—a steep hike from its January 18 high of
.30.

Feb 2, 2012 News for 'EPL.V/EGPLF' - Eagle Plains/SinoGas Execute Option Agreement on Eagle Lake,
Saskatchewan Uranium Property


Cranbrook, British Columbia CANADA, Feb 02, 2012 (Filing Services Canada via
COMTEX) -- Eagle Plains Resources Ltd. (EPL - TSX Venture, EGPLF - OTC Pink)and
SinoGas West Inc. (TSX-V:GZW.P) have entered into a formal option agreement
whereby Eagle Plains has agreed to grant an option to SinoGas to earn a 60%
interest in EPL's 100% owned Eagle Lake uranium project located 28 km southeast
of Cameco's Key Lake mining operation in north-central Saskatchewan, Canada.

Terms of the option agreement

Pursuant to the option agreement (subject to regulatory approval), SinoGas West
Inc. will have the exclusive option to acquire a 60-per-cent interest in the
Eagle Lake property by issuing up to one million common shares of the company,
making aggregate cash payments of $300,000 and incurring aggregate exploration
expenditures of $3-million over the course of five years. $350,000 is currently
budgeted for 2012 exploration work.

Property Highlights

* 80-150m wide mineralized dyke swarm discovered at Red October occurrence, with
mineralized dykes locally up to 10m in width.

* Samples returned up to 1.56% U308 over 1m and grab samples returned up to
2.24% U308.

* 800m+ mineralized boulder train indicates broad mineralized zone

Property History

The claims cover 14,000 ha containing uranium mineralization originally
discovered by Great Plains Development Company of Canada Ltd. during the 1969
Athabasca Basin uranium rush. The 1969 work program was carried out under the
supervision of R.W. (Bob) Termuende, later a founding director of Eagle Plains.

Exploration in the area now covered by the Eagle Lake property by Great Plains
between 1969 and 1971 reportedly identified a float boulder train 1.5 kilometers
in length. Great Plains reported high radon gas values from both water and soil
samples collected near the uraniferous boulder train. Notably, the bedrock
source for these float boulders was not located.

Mulligan Capital (now Blue Sky Uranium) optioned the property in August, 2006
and in 2007, carried out systematic exploration work including an airborne
geophysical survey, soil geochemical sampling, mapping and prospecting. Blue Sky
subsequently relinquished its option in August, 2008. A number of areas of
interest were identified during the course of this work, including the "Red
October" showing. Subsequent work has defined the Red October showing over 270
meters of strike length in trenches, within a geochemical anomaly of over 500
meters strike length associated with an airborne geophysical anomaly of greater
than 1 kilometer. Samples collected from the showing and trenches returned
exceptional uranium assays including a 1.0 m yellow-stained chip sample which
returned 1.56% U3O8 and a grab sample of a yellow-stained black alteration
selvage which returned 2.24% U3O8. The mineralization is associated with
intrusions and meta sediments of the Wollaston Group.

The Eagle Lake property lies within the Wollaston domain and consists of
metasedimentary gneisses and schists, including pelitic schists and gneisses
with graphitic horizons. EPL will focus on exploring for uranium deposits in
north to northwest-trending faults which are interpreted to have formed
structural traps where uranium mineralization may have been deposited and
preserved.

Jan 31, 2012 News for 'EPL.V/EGPLF' - Eagle Plains/Providence Receive Results of 2011 Soil Sample
Survey and Strengthens Priority Drill Targets on the Iron Range Project


Vancouver, British Columbia CANADA, Jan 31, 2012 (Filing Services Canada via
COMTEX) -- Eagle Plains Resources Ltd. (EPL - TSX Venture, EGPLF - OTC Pink),and
Providence Resources Corp. (TSX-V: PV) are pleased to announce receipt of
results from the 2011 soil sampling program on the Iron Range Project. Results
from the extensive program (4,233 samples) validate historical soil anomalies
and identify additional prospective areas. Historical anomalies in the Row and
Canyon target areas have been confirmed - these targets have been selected for
drill testing in 2012. The remainder of the anomalies identified in the 2011
survey will be ranked and field evaluated as part of the 2012 Iron Range
exploration program. A map outlining the 2011 soil sampling results is located
at:
http://www.eagleplains.com/projects/bc/ironrange/documents/2011_soil_anomalies.pdf

"The 2011 soil sampling program has exceeded our expectations - it has validated
the 5 kilometer-long Row soil anomaly and demonstrates that the Iron Range is
prospective for both Sullivan style lead-zinc-silver as well as gold
mineralization." Stated Providence Resources Corp.'s President and CEO Vince
Sorace. "The combined results from the new and historical sampling campaigns are
highly encouraging; our technical team will correlate these anomalies with those
obtained from the 2011 geophysical survey as soon as data is available."

The 2011 soil sampling results build upon historical geochemical surveys by
confirming, infilling and/or expanding historical anomalies. The highlights of
the program are listed below:

* Confirmation soil sampling on the Row Target has validated the historical
dataset by producing a coincident lead-zinc-arsenic anomaly similar in scale and
intensity to the historical dataset. This target will be drill tested in 2012.

* Infill soil sampling in the Canyon target area produced a robust arsenic
anomaly measuring 1 km by 0.7 km with coincident gold, lead and zinc anomalies.
Gold mineralization discovered along the southern margin of this anomaly in 2010
confirms the presence of gold mineralization at this target area. The remainder
of the Canyon Anomaly will be drill tested in 2012.

* Three new soil grids (Arrow East, Canyon East and Gap grids) have produced
additional gold, arsenic, lead and zinc soil anomalies, which will be the
followed up during a systematic surface exploration program in Q2 2012.

The Company intends to execute a full exploration program in Q2 2012 with the
objective of systematically evaluating all existing exploration data, utilizing
newly acquired geophysical data, field evaluating all resulting anomalies and
ultimately drill testing the highest priority targets.

* Geophysical electromagnetic and gravity surveys - it is anticipated that
results from this work will be available in February 2012.

* Winter drilling (Phase I) of high-priority geophysical and geochemical
anomalies. Two targets have been identified during the evaluation of historical
geochemistry and additional targets are anticipated.

* Field work will be completed in summer 2012 with the objective of bringing
remaining targets to the drill testing stage for Phase II drilling in late 2012.

Qualified Person

The soil sampling program at the iron Range Project was designed and implemented
by TerraLogic Exploration of Cranbrook, B.C. (a wholly-owned subsidiary of Eagle
Plains). All fieldwork is under the supervision of geologist J.K. Ryley while
C.C. Downie, P.Geo. is hereby identified as the overall project supervisor.
Technical aspects of this news release have been reviewed and approved by T.J.
Termuende, P.Geo., hereby designated as a qualified person under National
Instrument 43-101.

Field personnel for the project took 4,322 B-horizon soil samples from
hand-excavated pits, with samples taken at depths between 20cm and 60cm. Samples
were securely labeled and packed before shipping to ALS laboratories. ALS'
quality system complies with ISO 9001:2008. Analytical accuracy and precision
are monitored by the analysis of reagent blanks, reference material and
replicate samples.

Iron Range Project Summary

The Iron Range deposits were originally staked in 1897, and were covered by
Crown grants held by Cominco Ltd. and the Canadian Pacific Railway. Eagle Plains
Resources ("Eagle Plains") staked the current claims immediately after the Crown
grants reverted in 2000, and it has been exploring the property since then.
Exploration work to date includes geological mapping, geochemical surveys,
diamond drilling and a 690-line-kilometre airborne geophysical survey.

The Iron Range project is owned 100% by Eagle Plains and holds no underlying
royalties or encumbrances. An additional 35,800 hectares of claims were added to
the original land package, resulting in a total of 56,200 hectares -- an area
approximately 11 km by 50 km. The land package now covers over 30 km of the Iron
Range structure, most of it unexplored. The claims also overlie rocks of the
Aldridge formation, including the same stratigraphic time horizon that hosts the
world-class Sullivan deposit located 70 km to the northeast. Over its 100-year
lifetime, Sullivan produced approximately 150 million tonnes of ore including
three billion ounces of silver, eight million tonnes of zinc and eight million
tonnes of lead, collectively worth over $30-billion at current metal prices. The
parties caution that past results or discoveries on proximate land are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be achieved on the Iron Range
property.

Providence Option Agreement

The Iron Range project is owned 100% by Eagle Plains and holds no underlying
royalties or encumbrances. Providence holds the option to earn a 60% interest in
the Property by spending $3,000,000 on exploration, making $500,000 in cash
payments and issuing 1,000,000 shares to EPL over 4 years.

Jan 19, 2012 News for 'EPL.V/EGPLF' - Eagle Plains/Clemson Execute Option Agreement on Kalum Gold
Property, West-Central British Columbia


Jan 19, 2012 (Filing Services Canada via COMTEX) -- Eagle Plains/Clemson
Execute Option Agreement on Kalum Gold Property, West-Central British Columbia

Cranbrook, B.C.; 19 January, 2011: Eagle Plains Resources (TSX-V:EPL) and
Clemson Resources Corp. (TSX-V:CRZ) announce that the companies have entered
into a formal option agreement whereby Clemson may earn an undivided 60%
interest in Eagle Plains' 100% owned Kalum Property located approximately 35 km
northwest of Terrace, British Columbia in the Skeena Mining Division. Under
terms of the agreement, Clemson will complete exploration expenditures of
$3,000,000, make cash payments of $250,000 and issue 1,100,000 common shares to
EPL over a four year period.

Property Geology

The road accessible, 21,000 ha property is centered upon a large Cretaceous-age
granodioritic stock of the Coast Crystalline Complex that has intruded Jurassic
to Cretaceous-age sedimentary rocks of the Bowser Lake Group. A number of
high-grade, vein-type gold occurrences are associated with the contact zone and
magnetic signature of the intrusive stock. These occurrences have been explored
by various operators and to various degrees over the past 80 years. All previous
exploration efforts have been directed toward the discovery of high-grade
stand-alone mineralization. The current Eagle Plains tenure package represents
the first time that gold occurrences related to the intrusive stock have been
consolidated by a single company.

Property History

The property had last seen exploration work in 2009-2010 by Windstorm Resources
Ltd. who carried out prospecting and soil geochemical work in 2009, followed by
6 drill-holes in 2010 for a total of 412m, testing a high-grade gold occurrence
(973 g/t Au) discovered in late 2009. Drilling failed to intersect significant
continuous mineralized zones. Windstorm terminated their option in late 2010.

From 2007-2008, Mountain Capital completed geologic mapping, a ground
geophysical survey and 1,390m of drilling in 11 holes to target the "Burn"
showing (see EPL/MCI news release December 15, 2008). Highlights of the 2008
program included drill-hole HKM 08-01, which returned 10.55m grading 0.973g/t
gold from 9.95m to 20.50m (including 0.3m which assayed 28.7 g/t gold from 20.20
to 20.50m) and drill-hole HKM 08-03, which returned 2.30m grading 11.949 g/t
gold from 14.0-16.3m. Mountain Capital terminated their option on the property
in May, 2009.

Eagle Plains acquired the property in 2003 and completed significant exploration
programs on the property in 2003 and 2004. The programs included a VTEM airborne
survey, extensive geochemical programs, geologic mapping, and a 19-hole diamond
drill program. The best drill results from this work included drill-hole
KRC04001, drilled at the Rico showing (discovered by Eagle Plains personnel in
late 2003), which returned 35g/t Au over 2.5m from 101.8m to 104.3m; including a
0.5m interval that assayed 107g/t Au (see EPL news release December 9th, 2004).
In addition, historical occurrences on the Property were located, sampled and
surveyed.

All work to date continues to support the interpreted potential for the Kalum
Property to host both high-grade Au - Ag deposits and lower-grade bulk-tonnage
type Au mineralization.

Jan 17, 2012 News for 'EPL.V/EGPLF' - Eagle Plains/Providence Identify Multiple New Drill Targets
Based Upon Historical Soil Data and Provides an Update for 2011 Drilling on the
Iron Range Project


Cranbrook, British Columbia CANADA, Jan 17, 2012 (Filing Services Canada via
COMTEX) -- Eagle Plains Resources Ltd. (EPL - TSX Venture, EGPLF - OTC Pink),and
Providence Resources Corp. (TSX-V: PV) are pleased to announce that a systematic
compilation and analysis of historical soil geochemistry data has identified
eight anomalous zones including two high priority, multi-element soil anomalies
that are slated for drill testing in 2012, and six additional anomalous zones,
that have been selected for field evaluation as part of the 2012 exploration
program. For maps and figures related to this news release please visit our
website http://www.eagleplains.com/projects/bc/ironrange/

"Our analysis of the historic soil data confirms our belief that the Iron Range
Property displays an anomalously high background metal endowment and
demonstrates that the entire property is prospective for gold mineralization in
addition to the traditionally explored for Sullivan-style lead-zinc
mineralization." Stated Providence Resources Corp.'s President and CEO Vince
Sorace. "The results from the soil data compilation are highly encouraging; we
are looking forward to comparing these anomalies with those obtained from
electromagnetic and gravity surveys when results are available."

The final 3 drill holes of the 2011 drill program (1,044.2 metres) were
completed in August, 2011. Drill holes IR11-027 to IR11-029 intercepted the
Talon Zone at depth. IR11-27 was drilled oblique to the Talon Zone and returned
3 meters @ 3.29 g/t gold and 4.6 g/t silver, IR11-28 and 29 were drilled
perpendicular to the zone and returned 12.0 meters @ 0.59 g/t gold, 2.5 g/t
silver and 2 meters @ 2.34 g/t gold, 61.2 g/t silver respectively. A map
outlining these drill locations is available at
http://www.eagleplains.com/projects/bc/ironrange/

2012 Exploration Program

The Company intends to execute a full exploration program in 2012 with the
objective of systematically evaluating all existing exploration data, utilizing
newly acquired 2011 geophysical surveys, field evaluating all resulting
anomalies and ultimately drill testing the highest priority targets.

* Systematic compilation and analysis of historical soil geochemistry - this
work and the resulting anomalies are the focus of this news release.

* Geophysical electromagnetic and gravity surveys - it is anticipated that
results from this work will be available in February 2012.

* Winter drilling (Phase I) of high-priority geophysical and geochemical
anomalies. Two targets have been identified during the evaluation of historical
geochemistry and additional targets are anticipated.

* Field work will be completed in summer 2012 with the objective of bringing
remaining targets to the drill testing stage for Phase II drilling in late 2012.

Historic Iron Range Soil Surveys

Soil anomalies were identified as part of ongoing compilation of historical data
on the Iron Range Project. Data compilation work is producing exploration
targets in advance of gravity and electromagnetic survey results that will be
available in February, 2012. All available geological, geochemical and
geophysical data will be used to delineate priority targets which will be tested
during 2012 Phase I and Phase II drilling.

A total of 12,201 soil samples were collected by various operators between 1986
and 2010 within the limits of the Iron Range project. These data have been
systematically compiled by TerraLogic Exploration Services and re-evaluated by
Providence Resources Corp. Soil anomalies were selected where assay values
exceed the mean value of the survey by at least 1 standard deviation and where
an anomaly can be traced across at least two soil lines within a given survey or
an adjoining survey. Priority is assigned to anomalies that are present within
multiple elements in a given survey.

A total of eight geochemical anomalies have been identified. Two anomalies
(Canyon and Row) are considered high priority at this early stage of evaluation
and are already slated for drill testing. The remaining six anomalies will be
further evaluated throughout 2012. A map and description of these anomalies can
be found at http://www.eagleplains.com/projects/bc/ironrange/

2011 Talon Zone Drill Results

Drill intercepts from 2011 diamond drilling for holes IR11-027, IR11-028 and
IR11-029 within the Talon Zone are summarized below. The Talon Zone is a 30
meter-wide, steeply west-dipping, northeast-striking fault zone marked by
moderate to intense silica-sericite (minor albite) alteration zone and hosts
precious and base metal mineralization. The object of the 2011 diamond drill
program was to determine the thickness, strike and depth extent of the gold and
base metal mineralization within the Talon Zone.

IR11-027

IR11-027 shares the same collar as previous drill hole IR11-026. This hole was
designed to test the continuity and intensity of mineralization within the
steeply west-dipping Talon Zone at depth. IR11-027 defines the western limit of
the intense silica-sericite-albite alteration zone intersected in IR11-026 drill
hole (101.4m of 0.5g/t Au), defined by three narrow intervals of significant
gold values. Mineralization occurs in fractures and within a quartz-carbonate
breccia matrix with localized narrow sections of semi-massive sulphide.
Mineralization is dominantly pyrite with minor arsenopyrite +/- sphalerite and
rare galena.

IR11-028

IR11-028 was drilled approximately 70m northeast of IR11-026/027. An isolated
intercept of 1.0m of 2.87g/t Au is coincident with the appearance of breccia
which is consistent with the down-dip extension of the sub-vertical
(west-dipping) Talon zone. Mineralization consists of arsenopyrite with lesser
pyrite, rare sphalerite, and galena within a dolomite-calcite-quartz matrix
supported breccia.

IR11-029

IR11-029 was the final hole drilled in the 2011 Talon zone drill campaign. In
order to obtain a perpendicular cut through the Talon zone, this hole was
drilled at 135 degree azimuth and a -55 degree dip angle. This hole returned
2.0m grading 2.34g/t Au (110-112 meters) defining the central portion of the
Talon zone below the surface oxide zone. Mineralization is characterized by a 10
cm interval of massive pyrite and lesser arsenopyrite within an oxidized,
limonitic breccia.

Quality Control

Geological exploration contracting services on the Iron Range property during
2011 are being provided by TerraLogic Exploration of Cranbrook, B.C. (a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Eagle Plains). Diamond drilling is being carried out
by F.B. Drilling of Cranbrook, B.C. All fieldwork is under the supervision of
geologist J.K. Ryley while C.C. Downie, P.Geo. is hereby identified as the
overall project supervisor. Technical aspects of this news release have been
reviewed and approved by T.J. Termuende, P.Geo., hereby designated as a
qualified person under National Instrument 43-101.

Iron Range Project Summary

The Iron Range deposits were originally staked in 1897, and were covered by
Crown grants held by Cominco Ltd. and the Canadian Pacific Railway. Eagle Plains
Resources ("Eagle Plains") staked the current claims immediately after the Crown
grants reverted in 2000, and has been exploring the property since then.
Exploration work to date includes geological mapping, geochemical surveys,
diamond drilling and a 690-line-kilometre airborne geophysical survey.

The Iron Range project is owned 100 per cent by Eagle Plains and holds no
underlying royalties or encumbrances. An additional 35,800 hectares of claims
were added to the original land package, resulting in a total of 56,200 hectares
-- an area approximately 11 km by 50 km. The land package now covers over 30 km
of the Iron Range structure, most of it unexplored. The claims also overlie
rocks of the Aldridge formation, including the same stratigraphic time horizon
that hosts the world-class Sullivan deposit located 70 km to the northeast. Over
its 100-year lifetime, Sullivan produced approximately 150 million tonnes of ore
including three billion ounces of silver, eight million tonnes of zinc and eight
million tonnes of lead, collectively worth over $30-billion at current metal
prices. The parties caution that past results or discoveries on proximate land
are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be achieved on the Iron
Range property.

Providence Option Agreement

The Iron Range project is owned 100% by Eagle Plains and holds no underlying
royalties or encumbrances. Providence holds the option to earn a 60% interest in
the Property by spending $3,000,000 on exploration, making $500,000 in cash
payments and issuing 1,000,000 shares to EPL over 4 years.

About Eagle Plains Resources

Expenditures during 2011 on Eagle Plains-related projects were approximately
$9,100,000 which was funded by Eagle Plains and third party partners. This
exploration work resulted in approximately 9400m diamond drilling and extensive
ground-based exploration work facilitating the advancement of more than 15
projects at various stages of development.

Dec 21, 2011 News for 'EPL.V/EGPLF' Eagle Plains/Navy Resources Execute Option Agreement on Vulcan
Property, South-eastern British Columbia


CRANBROOK, British Columbia, Dec 22, 2011 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Eagle Plains
Resources Ltd. (TSX-V:EPL)(Pink Sheets: EGPLF) and Navy Resources Corp. (a
private B.C. company) announce that they have executed a formal option agreement
whereby Navy may earn an undivided 60% interest in Eagle Plains' 100% owned
Vulcan Property located 30km northwest of Kimberley, British Columbia. Under
terms of the agreement, Navy will complete exploration expenditures of
$3,000,000, make cash payments of $250,000 and issue 1,000,000 common shares to
Eagle Plains over a fifty-four month period. The partners recently completed a
353 line-km airborne airborne gravity geophysical survey over the property area
(see EPL news release Dec 19/2011), with plans underway for drilling next
season.

Property Geology and History

The road-accessible property overlies rocks of the Purcell Supergroup, including
Aldridge Formation sediments. The principle exploration target on the property
is a Sullivan-type stratiform sediment-hosted massive sulfide deposit. The
nearby Sullivan Mine produced 144 million tons of ore averaging 6.5% lead, 5.6%
zinc and 2.3 opt silver to 1988, representing 300,000,000 ounces of silver,
8,000,000 tonnes of zinc and 8,000,000 tonnes of lead, collectively worth over
$45 billion at current metal prices. The parties caution that past results or
discoveries on proximate land are not necessarily indicative of the results that
may be achieved on the Vulcan property.

At Vulcan the styles of mineralization, host rocks and alteration all show
strong similarities to the Sullivan Deposit. The best sulfide mineralization at
Vulcan is exposed in a surface showing. Strata-controlled
pyrrhotite-galena-sphalerite is interpreted to occur at the Sullivan time
horizon in a 7.5 m thick zone which includes 1.5 m averaging 1.6% combined
lead-zinc. Grab samples of this zone assay up to 5.5% lead-zinc and 22 opt
silver.

The Vulcan property has been tested by historic drilling on separate occasions.
The most comprehensive testing occurred in the early 1990's by Ascot Resources.
In 1991 a five-hole 1,003m drill program was completed. In 1992 three holes were
drilled totaling 1535m and explored the Lower-Middle Aldridge contact (LMC) to
depths of 300m, roughly 600-800m down-dip of 1991 intersections. Though 1992
drilling indicated the presence of Sullivan-type stratigraphy and alteration in
all holes, significant base-metal mineralization was not encountered. The
down-dip extension of the 1991 holes on the Vulcan property remain untested and
provide targets for future work.

Mon. 12/19/2011-News for 'EPL.V/EGPLF' - Eagle Plains/ Partners Complete Major Airborne Geophysical Survey


Cranbrook, British Columbia CANADA, Dec 19, 2011 (Filing Services Canada via
COMTEX) -- Eagle Plains Resources Ltd. (EPL - TSX Venture, EGPLF - OTC Pink),and
various individual option partners have recently completed the largest
privately-funded airborne geophysical survey ever carried out in the Kootenay
region of British Columbia. A total of 4,280 line-km was flown over Eagle
Plains' various projects in the region, for an overall expenditure of over
$1,000,000.

Three separate survey types were flown, with the majority of funding provided by
third parties under various option agreements currently in place with Eagle
Plains, including VTEM (electromagnetic), ZTEM (electromagnetic) and an airborne
gravity system. Geotech Airborne Geophysical Surveys and Fugro Consultants were
contracted to carry out the surveys, which were completed during the fall of
2011. Additional geophysical work including processing, analytical and advanced
interpretive analysis will be provided by Condor Consulting of Lakewood,
Colorado.

A summary of the various projects and specific work applied to each is provided

A map showing the location of each property and the layout of the geophysical
surveys is located on the Eagle Plains website at http://www.eagleplains.com

The airborne geophysical survey is ongoing, systematic exploration being carried
out by Eagle Plains and its partners within rocks of the Belt-Purcell Supergroup
for over a decade. The area is host to the world-class Sullivan Deposit, which
over its 100 year lifetime, produced approximately 150,000,000 tonnes of ore
including 300,000,000 ounces of silver, 8,000,000 tonnes of zinc and 8,000,000
tonnes of lead, collectively worth over $45 billion at current metal prices. The
parties caution that past results or discoveries on proximate land are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be achieved on these properties.

Increased activity in the area was precipitated by the discovery in late 2010 of
gold-rich base-metal mineralization on the Iron Range project by partners Eagle
Plains and Providence Resources Corp.

Highlights from drill hole IR10-010 include:

* 196.9-204.0m: 7.1m @ 8.13g/t Au, 5.91% Pb/Zn, 86.6g/t Ag

* 224.0-280.5m: 56.5m @ 1.9g/t Au, 21.5g/t Ag

Ag; elevated Cd, Sb, Sn, Bi, B, Cu.

Eagle Plains and its partners will continue to assess the geophysical data as it
is interpreted by the independent consultants. Data will be integrated with
other information acquired in the area to guide future exploration activity. The
various option agreements in the Kootenay region, if carried to fruition, expose
Eagle Plains to $20M in exploration expenditures, $1.7M in cash payments to EPL,
and 4M shares in third party companies.

Tuesday, November 22, 2011 News for EPL.V/'EGPLF' - Eagle Plains/Olympic Announce Drill Results from Dragon Lake Gold Project, Yukon


Cranbrook, British Columbia CANADA, Nov 22, 2011 (Filing Services Canada via
COMTEX) -- Eagle Plains Resources Ltd. (EPL - TSX Venture, EGPLF - OTC Pink),and
Olympic Resources Ltd. (TSX-V:OLA) announce that drill results have been
compiled and interpreted from a drill program conducted during the summer on the
2,300 acre Dragon Lake project (the "Property") located 85km northeast of Ross
River, Yukon. A total of 660m was completed in 6 holes which tested three
separate zones of mineralization on the property. Total cost of the program was
$450,000.

2011 Program Highlights

* Precious metal mineralization was reported in all 6 drill holes of the
program.

* Results of up to 5.70 g/t gold over .25m (DR11001) and 1.57 g/t gold over 3.0m
(DR11004) were reported in drill holes.

* Numerous exploration targets remain untested on the property, with additional
work planned for next year.

Property Geology and Mineralization

Mineralization on the property is associated with an elongate Tombstone Suite
intrusive which has intruded sedimentary rocks of the Hyland Group. Contact
metamorphism related to intrusion of the pluton has resulted in a distinct
alteration halo which hosts known mineralization. Work carried out by Eagle
Plains in 2010 on the Main Zone included continuous chip trench sampling which
returned 4.9 g/t gold over 6.0m, including 6.7 g/t over 4.0m (T-11) and 6.0m
grading 2.8 g/t (T-02). A grab sample of material from a 1.2m wide quartz vein
returned 19.8 g/t gold. Exploration pits dug in 2010 by Eagle Plains in areas of
anomalous soil samples from past programs returned 2.85 g/t gold and 2.25 g/t
gold, respectively.

2011 Program Results

Significant results from the program are summarized in the table below:

Thurs. Sept 29, 2011 - News for 'EPL.V/EGPLF' - Eagle Plains Announces Proposed Spin-Out of Yellowjacket Gold
Project


Sep 29, 2011 (Filing Services Canada via COMTEX) -- Eagle Plains Announces
Proposed Spin-Out of Yellowjacket Gold Project

Cranbrook B.C., 29 September, 2011: The Board of Directors of Eagle Plains
Resources Ltd. (TSX-V:EPL)(the "Company" or "Eagle Plains") is pleased to
announce its plan (subject to court, shareholder and regulatory approval) to
transfer the Company's Yellowjacket Gold Project under a Plan of Arrangement
(the "Arrangement") in an effort to maximize shareholder value. The project as
described below will be transferred into a new company, incorporated under the
name Yellowjacket Resources Ltd. ("Yellowjacket"). Under the proposed
Arrangement, there will be approximately 33,000,000 common shares of
Yellowjacket outstanding.

Under the terms of the proposed Arrangement, Eagle Plains shareholders of record
on the effective date of the Arrangement will receive one share of Yellowjacket
for every three Eagle Plains shares held. Eagle Plains will hold approximately
15% of the total common shares of Yellowjacket, resulting in the transfer from
Eagle Plains to Yellowjacket of no less than $100,000 cash. Concurrently, Eagle
Plains will transfer to Yellowjacket its entire interest in the Yellowjacket
Project, an additional $500,000 cash and certain investments to provide working
capital and exploration funding. Yellowjacket will apply to have its shares
listed on the TSX Venture Exchange.

The reorganization is designed to improve the separate identification and
valuation of the Yellowjacket Project and specific Eagle Plains properties, to
enhance Eagle Plains' ability to divest specific properties through simpler
corporate ownership, and to enable Eagle Plains to separately finance and
develop its various assets, selectively reducing stock dilution. The process is
very similar to that which resulted in the creation of Copper Canyon Resources
Ltd., which was spun-out from Eagle Plains in 2006 and taken over by NovaGold
Canada Inc. in May, 2011 at a value of approximately $65,000,000.

The rationale for the formation of Yellowjacket is to advance the exploration
and development of the Yellowjacket project. The formation of Yellowjacket will
also allow Eagle Plains to continue to focus on its core business model of
acquiring and advancing grass-roots base and precious metal exploration
properties.

The proposed reorganization will be subject to shareholder approval by
resolution approved by not less than 66 2/3 % of votes cast. The Company expects
to present the matter to shareholders at a special meeting targeted for
mid-November, 2011. The Company anticipates that the reorganization and listing
of Yellowjacket will be completed shortly thereafter. The reorganization is also
subject to approval of the Court of Queen's Bench of Alberta and to acceptance
by the TSX Venture Exchange. Further particulars will be announced in due
course.

Yellowjacket Project Summary

The Yellowjacket Project is located 9 km east of Atlin, BC and is accessed by
all-season road. Hydro-electric power is located within 5km of property
boundaries. The project received a B.C. Mines Act permit in July, 2009 for an
open pit gold mine and onsite 400 tpd mill and concentrator, processing up to
75,000 tons per year. The permit contemplates a 7-9 year mine life from a series
of open pits entirely within an area of disturbed placer workings. Gold may be
recovered using a simple gravity concentrating recovery plant without the use of
chemicals or additives. Eagle Plains owns both mineral (hard-rock) and placer
rights within the Project area. In October 2009, Eagle Plains and Prize
announced the formal ratification of an Impact and Benefits Agreement with the
Taku River Tlingit First Nation.

Monday, Sept. 26, 2011 - News for 'EPL.V/EGPLF' - Eagle Plains/49 North Subsidiary Execute Option Agreement for Goatfell Property, South-eastern British Columbia


Cranbrook, British Columbia CANADA, Sep 26, 2011 (Filing Services Canada via
COMTEX) -- Eagle Plains Resources Ltd. (EPL - TSX Venture, EGPLF - OTC
Pink),reports that it has entered into an agreement with 101191710 Saskatchewan
Ltd., a subsidiary of 49 North Resources Inc. (FNR:TSXV), whereby 101191710
Saskatchewan Ltd. may earn an undivided 60% interest in Eagle Plains' Goatfell
Property located 30km east of Creston, British Columbia. Under terms of the
agreement, 101191710 will complete exploration expenditures of $3,000,000 make
cash payments of $250,000 and issue 1,000,000 common shares to EPL over a four
year period. The property has no underlying royalties or encumbrances.

The claims are well-situated with respect to infrastructure, with a
high-pressure gas pipeline, high-voltage hydroelectric line, railway and major
highway all located within or near property boundaries.

A $100,000 airborne geophysical survey consisting of 113 line-km of VTEM and 218
line-km of airborne gravity is expected to commence within one week.

Property Geology and Mineralization

The Goatfell claims overlie rocks of the Aldridge Formation, within the Middle
Proterozoic Purcell Supergroup, a thick succession of siliciclastic and lesser
carbonate rocks. The Goatfell occurrence includes an extensive area of
tourmalinite float, 2.5 kilometres to the south of the Goatfell tourmalinite
body. The float contains galena and sphalerite in an intensely brecciated
tourmalinized matrix. The tourmalinite zone is cut by a major fault which has
associated silicification and muscovite alteration. The tourmalinite alteration
and minerals noted on the property are considered by Eagle Plains geologists to
be indicative of hydrothermal venting activity which may be potentially
associated with a sedimentary-exhalative ("Sedex") mineralizing system nearby.

Property History

A total of twelve diamond drill holes were completed by White Knight Resources
and Ramrod Exploration on the property between 1989 and 1996, in addition to a
localised ground-based EM geophysical survey in 1995. Some of the drillholes
intersected tourmalinite and fracture-controlled lead and zinc. Following the
1996 drilling program, geologists on the project recommended additional
drilling, though this work was never carried out.

The airborne geophysical work is part of a major (4,000 line-km) airborne
geophysical survey being carried out in the region by Eagle Plains and various
partners as announced on September 9th, 2011. The airborne geophysical survey is
part of an ongoing, systematic exploration approach being carried out by Eagle
Plains and its partners within rocks of the Belt-Purcell Supergroup for over a
decade. The Belt-Purcell Supergroup is host to the world-class Sullivan Deposit,
which over its 100 year lifetime, produced approximately 150,000,000 tonnes of
ore including 300,000,000 ounces of silver, 8,000,000 tonnes of zinc and
8,000,000 tonnes of lead, collectively worth over $45 billion at current metal
prices. The parties caution that past results or discoveries on proximate land
are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be achieved on the
Goatfell property.

Increased activity in the area was precipitated by the discovery in late 2010 of
gold-rich base-metal mineralization on the Iron Range project by partners Eagle
Plains and Providence Resources Corp.

Highlights from drill hole IR10-010 include:

* 196.9-204.0m: 7.1m @ 8.13g/t Au, 5.91% Pb/Zn, 86.6g/t Ag

* 224.0-280.5m: 56.5m @ 1.9g/t Au, 21.5g/t Ag

* Also including lowermost 277.5-279.5m: 2.0m @ 12.8g/t Au, 9.24% Pb/Zn,
122.5g/t Ag; elevated Cd, Sb, Sn, Bi, B, Cu.

The geophysical survey is expected to be completed by late fall, subject to
weather conditions and contractor availability.

Sept. 16, 2011 News for 'EPL.V/EGPLF' - Eagle Plains/Bethpage Capital Corp Execute Option Agreement for
Hall Lake Property, South-eastern British Columbia


Cranbrook, British Columbia CANADA, Sep 16, 2011 (Filing Services Canada via
COMTEX) -- Eagle Plains Resources Ltd. (EPL - TSX Venture, EGPLF - OTC
Pink),announces that it has entered into a formal option agreement with Bethpage
Capital Corp,. (a private B.C. company), whereby Bethpage may earn an undivided
60% interest in Eagle Plains' 100% owned Hall Lake Property located 30km west of
Kimberley, British Columbia. Under terms of the agreement, Bethpage will
complete exploration expenditures of $3,000,000, make cash payments of $260,000
and issue 1,000,000 common shares to EPL over a fifty-four month period.

A $100,000 airborne geophysical survey consisting of 484 line-km of VTEM is
expected to commence immediately.

Property Geology

The road-accessible property is approximately 30 sq-km in size and overlies
rocks of the Purcell Supergroup, including the Creston and Aldridge Formation
sediments. A large Cretaceous-aged granitic intrusive is located along a major
structural corridor, with associated intrusive dykes and sills found to have
associations with both gold and silver mineralization. Prospecting by Eagle
Plains reported grab samples of dyke material ranging from trace values up to
2.45 g/t gold and silver values of up to 42 g/t.

The property is host to a major regional-scale north-south trending structure
which is interpreted to be associated with the Iron Range structure. Increased
activity in the area was precipitated by the discovery in late 2010 of gold-rich
base-metal mineralization possibly associated with the structure within the
boundaries of the Iron Range property, which is currently being explored by
partners Eagle Plains and Providence Resources Corp.

Highlights from drill hole IR10-010 on the Iron Range property include:

* 196.9-204.0m: 7.1m @ 8.13g/t Au, 5.91% Pb/Zn, 86.6g/t Ag

* 224.0-280.5m: 56.5m @ 1.9g/t Au, 21.5g/t Ag

Sept. 14, 2011 News for 'EPL.V/EGPLF' - Providence Resources/Eagle Plains Conduct Geophysical and
Geochemical Surveys on Iron Range Project


Vancouver, British Columbia CANADA, Sep 14, 2011 (Filing Services Canada via
COMTEX) -- Providence Resources Corp. (PV - TSX Venture)and Eagle Plains
Resources Ltd. (EPL - TSX Venture, EGPLF - OTC Pink) have now completed the
majority of the planned fieldwork program for the Iron Range project in
southeastern British Columbia. This ground based work is to be followed in
September and October by airborne geophysics.

Field work completed to date consists of the following:

* Induced polarization geophysics ground and borehole surveys at the Talon Zone

* 28.0 line km of contour soil sampling along the west flank of the Iron Range
Structure

* Contour and grid soil sampling south and southeast of the Talon zone

* 2.0km X 800m Talon zone soil grid

* 2.5km X 800m soil grid immediately north of the Talon zone grid, labeled the
Six-Mile grid

* 1:10,000 scale geological mapping and associated sampling

IP Survey

The Talon Zone induced polarization ground survey shows two areas of high
chargeability. The westerly area coincides with the significant mineralization
encountered in drilling at the Talon zone. The second area is approximately 300m
to the southeast of the Talon zone and is expressed as a near surface anomaly
measuring approximately 200m in width. This anomaly may continue to the south
beyond the southern limit of the geophysical survey. The borehole geophysics is
slated for additional interpretation with respect to the ground survey.

Soil Geochemistry

A 28.0 line km contour soil sampling program was completed along the west flank
of the Iron Range Structure. These lines are parallel to the regional scale
north trending Iron Mountain Fault to exploit base and precious metal
mineralization from northeast oriented splay faults.

The Talon zone soil grid is oriented north-south, positioned to cover the
southern IP chargeability anomaly and north along the inferred extension of the
Talon zone fault.

A 2.5km X 800m soil grid immediately north of the Talon zone grid (labeled the
Six-Mile grid) begins at the northern end of the Talon zone grid in a northeast
orientation. This grid covers prominent northeast topographic linears and
coincident trending newly discovered alteration zones (see Geological Mapping).

Geochemical results from the soil surveys are expected by mid to late October.

Geological Mapping

Surface mapping has identified the following features of interest:

* A westerly shift of the Iron Range Structure, in proximity to sericite-albite
alteration and possible extension of IP chargeability anomaly.

* Discovery of pervasive sericite-albite-quartz alteration zone approximately
30m in width, 1.65km N-NE of the Talon Zone. The trend of the zone shares that
of the Talon Zone. Similar alteration located 700m to the south along the strike
extension of the new zone. The Six-Mile grid was positioned over these two
zones. Hematite-albite-sericite breccia 2.0km NE of the Iron Mountain Structure,
and approximately 6.0km from the Talon Zone.

* Finely disseminated and acicular stratiform tourmaline within the Lower-Middle
Aldridge contact (LMC) 150m and 600m west of the Talon Zone. The latter
underlies a grouping of upper anomalous lead, zinc, and arsenic soil anomalies.

Airborne Surveys

A combination of VTEM, ZTEM and airborne gravity surveys will be employed over
specific targets areas and is based on specific host rocks and structural
settings. The ZTEM is scheduled to start September 13th with the VTEM survey to
immediately follow. A property scale gravity survey is expected to be completed
by the end of October, subject to weather conditions and contractor
availability. The surveys are being flown in conjunction with Eagle Plains
Resources Ltd. surveys, of which Providence Resources Ltd. survey area totals
1576 line kilometres

Geological exploration contracting services on the Iron Range property during
2011 are being provided by TerraLogic Exploration of Cranbrook, B.C. (a wholly
owned subsidiary of Eagle Plains). All fieldwork is under the supervision of
geologist J.K. Ryley while C.C. Downie, PGeo, is hereby identified as both the
overall project supervisor and as a qualified person under National Instrument
43-101.

Iron Range Project Summary

The Iron Range deposits were originally staked in 1897, and were covered by
Crown grants held by Cominco Ltd. and the Canadian Pacific Railway. Eagle Plains
staked the current claims immediately after the Crown grants reverted in 2000,
and has been exploring the property since then. Exploration work to date
includes geological mapping, geochemical surveys, diamond drilling and a
690-line-kilometre airborne geophysical survey. The Iron Range project is owned
100 per cent by Eagle Plains and holds no underlying royalties or encumbrances.
An additional 35,800 hectares of claims were added to the existing land package,
resulting in a total of 56,200 hectares -- an area approximately 11 km by 50 km.
The land package now covers over 30 km of the Iron Range structure, most of it
unexplored. The claims also overlie rocks of the Aldridge formation, including
the same stratigraphic time horizon which hosts the world-class Sullivan deposit
located 70 km to the northeast. Over its 100-year lifetime, Sullivan produced
approximately 150 million tonnes of ore including three billion ounces of
silver, eight million tonnes of zinc and eight million tonnes of lead,
collectively worth over $30-billion at current metal prices. The parties caution
that past results or discoveries on proximate land are not necessarily
indicative of the results that may be achieved on the Iron Range property.

Providence Option Agreement

The Iron Range project is owned 100% by Eagle Plains and holds no underlying
royalties or encumbrances. Providence holds the option to earn a 60% interest in
the Property by spending $3,000,000 on exploration, making $500,000 in cash
payments and issuing 1,000,000 shares to EPL over 4 years.

Summary of the Wildhorse Project

The Wildhorse Property is located in the Rocky Mountains (Latitude 49 degrees
44' N, Longitude 115 degrees 38 W), 17 kilometers north of Fort Steele in the
Fort Steele Mining Division, on NTS mapsheet 082G063. The Wildhorse Property is
situated 30 kilometers northeast of Cranbrook, B.C. The claim group consists of
a single converted MTO claim unit located on the east side of Wildhorse Creek.
The converted Wildhorse claim is the result of the consolidation of Eagle Plains
historic Wildhorse 1 and 2 and Dardenelles 1 and 2 claims.

The Wildhorse claim unit is located on the east side of the Wildhorse River, an
historic placer-gold producing area in southeastern British Columbia. In the
late 1800's over 1,000,000 ounces of gold were reported to have been extracted
from its gravels. The location of the claim coincides with the furthest reported
upstream placer gold occurrences.

The 355.24 hectare claim unit overlies Middle Proterozoic Creston and Aldridge
Formation Belt Purcell Supergroup stratigraphy.

The northern portion of the Wildhorse claim unit along Copper Creek is host to a
showing within the overlying Creston Formation. South of Copper Creek within the
central portion of the claim unit is the intermittent past producing Dardenelle
prospect. Historically this area was known as the Dardenelle and Motherlode
Crown grants which were surveyed by the Crown in 1898. An arrastra was built on
nearby Victoria Creek to process gold-bearing massive quartz from two adits
drifted on the Dardenelle claim at the end of the nineteenth century.

Eagle Plains completed a 9 hole, 731 metre NQ size diamond drill program in 2008
which was designed to expand the known dimensions of a previously exploited
quartz vein system. Drilling was extended to depth and predominantly north and
southerly resulting in both lateral and depth extensions to the massive quartz
vein occurrence. In part the southerly directed drill holes revealed an increase
in thickness of the upper quartz vein.

Further technical information concerning the Wildhorse Property will be
disclosed following completion of a technical report in accordance with National
Instrument 43-101, which is presently being prepared.

General

Completion of the transaction is subject to a number of conditions, including
but not limited to, Exchange acceptance and if applicable pursuant to Exchange
Requirements, majority of the minority shareholder approval. Where applicable,
the transaction cannot close until the required shareholder approval is
obtained. There can be no assurance that the transaction will be completed as
proposed or at all.

Investors are cautioned that, except as disclosed in the management information
circular or filing statement to be prepared in connection with the transaction,
any information released or received with respect to the transaction may not be
accurate or complete and should not be relied upon. Trading in the securities of
a capital pool company should be considered highly speculative.

The TSX Venture Exchange Inc. has in no way passed upon the merits of the
proposed transaction and has neither approved nor disapproved the contents of
this press release.

Trading in the Company's common shares on the Exchange will be halted pending
completion of the Qualifying Transaction.

Sponsorship of a qualifying transaction of a capital pool company is required by
the Exchange unless exempt in accordance with the Exchange policies or waived by
the Exchange. Turnberry intends to apply for an exemption or waiver from
sponsorship requirements. However, there is no assurance that Turnberry will be
able to obtain this exemption or waiver.

August 11, 2011 News for 'EPL.V/EGPLF' - Eagle Plains/Drexel Commence Airborne Geophysical Survey on
Titan Gold Project, NW British Columbia


Cranbrook, British Columbia CANADA, Aug 11, 2011 (Filing Services Canada via
COMTEX) -- Eagle Plains Resources Ltd. (EPL - TSX Venture, EGPLF - OTC Pink)and
Drexel Resources Ltd. (DX:TSX-V) have commenced a 500 line-km airborne
geophysical (magnetometer and electromagnetic) survey on the Titan gold-copper
property, located in northwestern British Columbia. Following the survey, the
partners intend to complete follow-up geological work including geological
mapping, prospecting and soil sampling to define specific target areas for
diamond drilling. The survey is being conducted by SkyTEM Canada Inc.

The Titan property consists of 5100 hectares located 40 kilometers south west of
Atlin British Columbia, and 200 kilometers south of Whitehorse, Yukon. The east
side of the property borders the Taku Arm and may be accessed via barge from
Teslin. The White Pass Railroad, with direct access to the port of Skagway, is
located approximately 60 kilometres northwest of the property.

The project area covers portions of the prospective Llewellyn Fault, a >150
kilometre long crustal-scale fault system, which hosts numerous gold, silver and
base metal properties, including BC Gold's nearby Engineer Mine Project.
Mineralization on the Titan property includes a number of historic base and
precious metal BC Minfile occurrences associated with quartz veins and quartz
shears hosted by both metasediments and intrusives, as well as a high grade
molybdenum occurrence. Since acquiring the project in 2002, Eagle Plains and
partners have carried out prospecting, mapping, soil geochemical sampling, and
ground-based and airborne geophysics. Limited diamond drilling has been carried
out on the molybdenum occurrence.

The focus of the current program is to define the relationship of the Llewellyn
Fault to known mineralization and multi-element precious and base-metal soil
geochemical anomalies. Work by Eagle Plains in 2008 resulted in the discovery of
a new showing in the northwestern part of the property which returned 64 g/t Au
from a grab sample of strongly altered quartz material. Compilation work by
Eagle Plains indicates that that some of the precious-metal showings and soil
geochemical anomalies may lie along common controlling structures.

Under terms of an option agreement announced December 09, 2010, Drexel holds the
exclusive right to earn a 60% interest in the property by completing $3M in
exploration expenditures, making $500,000 in cash payments and issuing 1.0M
common shares to Eagle Plains over 4 years. Part of the property has an
underlying 1.5% NSR in favour of a third party, unrelated to either Eagle Plains
or Drexel, of which two thirds may be purchased for $1M.

August 9, 2011 - News for 'EPL.V/EGPLF' - Eagle Plains/Blackrock Commence Geophysical Survey on Elsiar
Copper-Gold Project, West-Central B.C.


Cranbrook, British Columbia CANADA, Aug 09, 2011 (Filing Services Canada via
COMTEX) -- Eagle Plains Resources Ltd. (EPL - TSX Venture, EGPLF - OTC
Pink),reports that Blackrock Resources Ltd. (a private B.C. corporation) has
commenced a $200,000 exploration program on the Elsiar copper-gold-moly
property. Crews are now in place on the property and line-cutting and
geophysical surveying (magnetometer and induced polarization "I.P.") is
currently underway. A total of 18 line-km of survey work is planned for the
property and will be followed up by prospecting and geological mapping. Drill
targets for future exploration are expected to be generated by this season's
work.

2011 fieldwork is directed and funded by Blackrock, which may earn a 60%
interest in the property by making exploration expenditures of $3,000,000 and
completing payments of 1,000,000 shares and $250,000 cash by 2014.

The Elsiar property is located 40km north of Terrace, B.C. and is held 100% by
EPL (subject to a 1% NSR). The project area has seen little historical activity
and was acquired by Eagle Plains in 2003 based on the presence of numerous
strong multi-element geochemical signatures in stream sediments. The property
benefits from excellent infrastructure including logging roads, hydroelectric
power lines and close proximity to rail and deep-water international ports in
Kitimat and Prince Rupert.

The property hosts widespread mineralization in surface occurrences over a 3.5
sq. km. area. Both surface and drillhole data suggest the presence of a
well-developed copper-gold-molybdenum porphyry system with high-grade Au
mineralization present in shears and veins. A 2005 drill program intersected
high-grade Au mineralization with values ranging from trace quantities to up to
14.0g/T Au over 1.0m (DDH LC05018). Molybdenum mineralization was encountered in
most holes, with assay values ranging from trace quantities to .01% Mo over 50.0
m, including 0.4% Mo over 6.0m (DDH LCO5016). Cu mineralization ranged from
trace quantities to 0.43% Cu over 6.1m (DDH LC04001). Additional broad areas
containing anomalous soil geochemical results were delineated during 2008 work,
with soil sample values ranging from trace values up to 31.9 g/t Au.

Fieldwork is being conducted by TerraLogic Exploration Ltd. of Cranbrook, BC, a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Eagle Plains.

Aug 4, 2011 News for 'EPL.V/EGPLF' - Eagle Plains and MMG Announce Two Property Option Agreements


CRANBROOK, British Columbia, Aug 04, 2011 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Eagle Plains
Resources Ltd. (TSX-V:EPL) is pleased to announce that it has executed two
separate property option agreements with Minerals and Metals Group ("MMG")
relating to the Findlay and Boundary properties.

Findlay Project

MMG may earn a 60% interest in Eagle Plains' 100-per-cent-owned Findlay
properties, located 30 kilometers north of Kimberley, in south-eastern B.C..
Under terms of the agreement, MMG may earn a 60% interest in the 33,500 ha
property by making cash payments to EPL of $500,000 and completing $5,000,000 in
exploration expenditures over 5 years. MMG may earn an additional 15% interest
(for a total of 75%) by delivering a bankable feasibility study by 2018.

The Findlay Project overlies Aldridge Formation stratigraphy, considered
prospective for sedimentary-exhalative ("sedex") deposits. Structurally, this
area has been identified as an extension of the North Star-Sullivan corridor
which hosts the world class Sullivan deposit 30km to the south. The Findlay
property displays Sullivan-style exhalative tourmalinite (boron) horizons,
massive fragmental sections, anomalous lead, zinc, and indicator geochemistry,
and base metal occurrences. This "Sullivan smoke" occurs throughout the Lower to
Upper Aldridge formation and indicates the potential for Sullivan style
mineralization at multiple stratigraphic levels. Fieldwork by Eagle Plains has
identified a number of target including :

-- North Findlay: 100 meter thick multi kilometer scale
mineralized/tourmalinized exhalative horizon related to hydrothermal venting
within the Upper Aldridge stratigraphic interval.

-- Greenland Creek: Diamond drilling by Eagle Plains in 1997 intersected
numerous thin stratabound sulphide bands associated with albite / garnet /
chlorite alteration, some of which display continuity over 60m, and are open
down-dip and along strike. Dating indicates Sullivan age for Pb mineralization
in the Greenland Creek area.

-- Mid-Fork: Evidence for deep-seated structures including arched gabbros and
thickened, mineralized fragmental sequences at or near "Sullivan time".

Property scale mapping by Cominco Ltd. and Eagle Plains has established
excellent Aldridge marker control and many of the drill targets developed are
within the 500 -- 1000m range, considered to be shallow for Sullivan type
targets in the Purcell Basin.

Boundary Project

MMG may earn a 60% interest in Eagle Plains' 100-per-cent-owned Boundary (Dode)
properties, located along the US border approximately 20km SE of Creston,
British Columbia. The claims were acquired by Eagle Plains through staking
carried out in December, 2010. Under terms of the agreement, MMG may earn a 60%
interest in the property by reimbursing EPL all acquisition costs and completing
$3,000,000 in exploration expenditures over 5 years. MMG may earn an additional
15% interest (for a total of 75%) by delivering a bankable feasibility study by
2018.

About MMG

MMG is owned by Minmetals Resources Limited (HKSE 1208), an international
upstream base metals company. It is one of the world's largest producers of zinc
as well as a substantial producer of copper, lead, gold and silver. Minmetals
Resources Limited currently has mining operations located in Australia and Asia

(1) Voting common shares in the securities of the Company ("Shares").

Upon the Company exercising the option, the Company and EPL will automatically
enter into a joint venture, with the Company and EPL respectively holding 60%
and 40% interest in the Acacia Property, for the purposes of further
exploration, evaluation and development of the Acacia Property towards
commercial production.

Conditions of the Acquisition

Completion of the Acquisition as contemplated would constitute a Change of
Business in accordance with TSX Venture Exchange ("Exchange") policy 5.2 and is
subject to a number of conditions including, but not limited to, closing of the
Private Placement, Exchange acceptance and, if required by Exchange policies,
shareholder approval. Where applicable, the Acquisition cannot close until the
required disinterested shareholder approval is obtained. There can be no
assurance that the Acquisition will be completed as proposed or at all.

Investors are cautioned that, except as disclosed in the management information
circular or filing statement to be prepared in connection with the Acquisition,
any information released or received with respect to the Acquisition may not be
accurate or complete and should not be relied upon.

In accordance with Exchange policy, the Company's shares are currently halted
from trading and will remain so until such time as the Exchange determines
which, depending on the policies of the Exchange, may not occur until the
completion of the Acquisition.

Application to Graduate from NEX to TSXV

The Acquisition is part of a series of transactions the Company has undertaken
in connection of the Company's application to graduate from NEX to Tier 2 of the
Exchange.

The Company has sold its previous industrial supplies assets over the course of
several months and became an inactive company trading on NEX on August 4, 2010.
With the completion of the Acquisition and related financing transactions, the
Company will become a junior mining issuer. Concurrently, the Company plans to
change its name, with shareholder approval, to "Tasca Resources Ltd."

Share Consolidation

Also concurrent with the closing of the Acquisition, the Company proposes a
share consolidation on the basis of two old common shares of the Company for one
new common share of the Company. The proposed share consolidation would result
in the number of issued and outstanding shares of the Company being reduced from
29,045,479 common shares without par value to 14,522,740 common shares without
par value.

Management of the Company believes that the share consolidation is necessary in
order to provide the Company with a share capital structure that will make the
Company more attractive for investment and will better provide for future growth
opportunities.

Shareholder approval will be sought to approve the share consolidation at the
Company's upcoming annual and special meeting to be held on July 29, 2011. In
addition, the share consolidation is subject to the approval of the Exchange.

Private Placement

Concurrent with the closing of the Acquisition, the Company expects to complete
the following two private placements on a post-consolidated basis:







1. 1,500,000 flow-through units (the "FTUnits") of the Company at a price

of $0.23 per Unit for gross proceeds of $345,000. Each Unit will be

comprised of one common share and one half share purchase warrant, each

warrant entitling the holder to purchase an additional common share at

an exercise price of $0.35 per share for a period of two years.

2. 2,000,000 non-flow-through units (the "NFTUnits") of the Company at a

price of $0.20 per Unit for gross proceeds of $400,000. Each Unit will

be comprised of one common share and one half share purchase warrant,

with each whole warrant entitling the holder to purchase an additional

common share at an exercise price of $0.35 per share for a period of two

years.





The net proceeds of the Private Placements will be used by the Company to
complete the required exploration expenditures with respect to the Acacia
Property, for general working capital expenses, and in contemplation of the
possibility of securing additional property assets.

A finders fee may be payable by the Company in connection with the private
placements, within the limits prescribed by the policies of the Exchange.

Directors and Insiders

Upon completion of the Acquisition, it is anticipated that the Company's Board
of Directors will be composed of three members, including Craig Naughty and Jim
Darcel, who currently sit on its Board and hold the positions of President and
CFO respectively, plus Marvin Mitchell P. Geo., a newly appointed Director. Both
Mark Hopkins and Ed Grimes have tendered their resignations from the Board of
Directors.

It is anticipated that the only insiders of the Company following completion of
the Acquisition will be the three Board members with the exception of any
nominees for Directors elected at the forthcoming Annual and Special Meeting and
Mr. Michael Romanik who currently owns approximately 11.22% of the Company's
issued and outstanding shares.

June 21 News - Eagle Plains/Ecomax Enter Into Option Agreement on Acacia Project, Central British Columbia

CRANBROOK, B.C., Jun 21, 2011 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Eagle Plains Resources Ltd.
(EPL:TSX-V)(Pink Sheets: EGPLF) and Ecomax Energy Services Ltd. ("Ecomax" EES.H:
TSX-V) have entered into an agreement whereby Ecomax may earn a 60% interest in
the 4,600 ha Acacia Property, located 45 km north of Kamloops in central British
Columbia. Under terms of the Agreement, Ecomax has the option to earn its
interest in the property by completing $3M in exploration expenditures, making
$240,000 in cash payments and issuing 1.0M common shares to Eagle Plains over 4
years.

The Acacia property is considered to have good potential for hosting
Volcanogenic Massive Sulphide (VMS) deposits. These deposits typically contain
both base and precious metals, and occur in clusters and/or stacked lenses. The
property covers a stratigraphic assemblage which hosts a number of nearby
past-producing base and precious-metal deposits including the Samatosum, Rea
Gold, and Homestake mines. The property currently has at least three known
target areas. The parties caution that past results or discoveries on proximate
land are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be achieved on the
Acacia property.

-- Previous operators reported diamond drilling results including 10.6 g/t Au,
335.3 g/t Ag , 3.13 % Zn, 2.74% Pb, and 0.55% Cu over 2.37m on the Twin Mountain
occurrence

-- Eight massive sulphide lenses and a 1500m x 250m soil anomaly at the Acacia
Zone remain untested by drilling.
