Business Wire
Eagle Plains Resources Ltd. (TSX-V:EPL) (Pink Sheets: EGPLF)
and Olympic Resources Ltd. (OLA.P) have executed a formal
option agreement whereby Olympic will have the exclusive right to
earn a 60% interest in the 2,300 acre Dragon Lake project
located 85km northeast of Ross River, Yukon. To exercise the
option, Olympic must complete $3,000,000 in exploration
expenditures, issue 1,000,000 common shares and make cash payments
of $500,000 to Eagle Plains over 4 years. Soil geochemical
sampling, limited trenching and drilling has been completed by
Eagle Plains since 1996 and has indicated that significant gold
mineralization is present within property boundaries. Drilling of
the property is expected to commence within three weeks.
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.
Property History
The property was first staked in 1966 by Kennco Exploration,
which completed geological and geophysical survey work. Canamax and
Welcome north carried out additional surface work in 1983 and 1988,
respectively. Eagle Plains staked the property in 1996 and have
completed 7 separate exploration programs in the ensuing years. In
2010, Eagle Plains completed rock and soil geochemical sampling and
an airborne geophysical survey.
Update on Kalum Property Option
Eagle Plains has recently received notice that Windstorm
Resources Inc. (TSX-V:WSR) has terminated its option on the Kalum
gold property located near Terrace, in west-central British
Columbia.
