Eagle Plains/Windstorm Commence Fieldwork on Kalum Gold Property

Business Wire
Eagle Plains Resources (TSX-V:EPL) has mobilized a field
crew to commence exploration activities on the Kalum
property. The road-accessible, 21,883 ha property is located
approximately 35 kilometres northwest of Terrace, British Columbia
in the Skeena Mining Division.
The property had last seen exploration work in 2008 by Mountain
Capital Corp. (now First Lithium Resources Inc.) who completed
geologic mapping, a ground geophysical survey and 1,390m of
drilling in 11 holes (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.
Property Geology
The Property is centered upon a 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 represents the first time gold occurrences have been
consolidated by a single company.
Property History:
Eagle Plains initiated property acquisition in the Kalum area 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, many of the historical showings on the Property were
located, sampled and surveyed.
2008 Program and Budget:
The focus of the $100,000, 2009 program is to continue
exploration work initiated by Mountain Capital in 2008. An Induced
Polarization (I.P.) survey, geological mapping and soil geochemical
survey will be extended northward from the area covered previously.
Exploration work undertaken this season will be funded by Windstorm
Resources Inc., a private B.C. company.
