Eagle Plains and MMG Announce Two Property Option Agreements

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.
