Eagle Plains Mobilizes Crews for 2025 Field Season
Eagle Plains Mobilizes Crews for 2025 Field Season
Cranbrook, B.C ., May 22nd, 2025: Eagle Plains Resources Ltd. (TSX -V:EPL) (“EPL” or “ Eagle
Plains”) has mobilized two field crews to central BC to commence the first phase of 2025 work programs.
Eagle Plains anticipates fieldwork on a minimum of 23 projects in 2025, funded by approximately $400,000
from Eagle Plains, with an additional $1.2M forecast to be funded by option partners.
The 2025 work will be managed by Terralogic Exploration Inc. of Cranbrook, BC. All of the projects are
owned 100% by Eagle Plains with some of the projects subject to underlying Net Smelter Royalty
Agreements in favour of third parties, including Eagle Royalties Ltd.
See 2025 Field Season Project Schedule here
All of the early summer work will be exclusively on British Columbia projects, with later season exploration
split between BC and Saskatchewan. Most of the May-June field programs will focus on evaluating alkalic
porphyry copper-gold and epithermal gold targets hosted in the prolific Quesnellia and Stikinia Terranes.
Fieldwork will include geological mapping, prospecting and geochemical (soil, silt and till) surveying.
Project Details
Lost Horse
The 3,759 ha Lost Horse property is located in South -Central British Columbia, 99 km north of Kamloops
and 27 km west-southwest of Clearwater. The property covers known gold-silver-copper-molybdenum-zinc
veins and is a prospective target for copper-gold porphyry mineralization. Work by Eagle Plains in 2022 and
2024 suggest that mineralization on the property is likely related to low -sulphidation epithermal veining
which could also indicate a buried, mineralized porphyry in the region. 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 project is 100% owned by Eagle Plains with a 1.5% NSR held by Eagle Royalties , which
includes a 0.5% buy-back clause on part of the project.

Acacia
The 4385 ha Acacia Project is located 60 km NE of Kamloops, BC. Acquired in 1999 for Volcanogenic
Massive Sulphide (“VMS”) deposit potential, it covers a stratigraphic package that hosts a number of base -
and precious-metal deposits. The property is accessible via a network of all -weather logging and historical
roads and is 100% owned by Eagle Plains with a 2% NSR held by Eagle Royalties containing a 1% buy-back
clause in favour of Eagle Plains.
Exploration at the Acacia by Eagle Plains and past operators has identified well -developed property-wide
mineralization, alteration, geochemical and geophysical anomalies. Mineralization at the Twin Mountain
Zone is hosted in a vein system with a strike length of 4km and widths to 10m with anomalous gold, silver,
zinc and lead values along strike of the known occurrences , with approximately 1.8 km of prospective
stratigraphy remaining relatively unexplored. 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.

Black Diamond
The 866 ha Black Diamond Property is located near Invermere, B.C. and covers a deep -seated mineralized
structure traced over 12 km hosting high-grade polymetallic vein mineralization. It has significant potential
to host classic manto or replacement-style ore bodies and contains multiple mineral occurrences that appear
to be linked by a common structure. The project is 100% owned by Eagle Plains with a 2% NSR held by
Eagle Royalties containing a 1% buy-back clause.
As well as high grade Ag and Au, parts of the Black Diamond structure hosts antimony mineralization with
grab samples from the Silver Spray Zone collected in 1995 returning from trace values up to 7.4% Sb. (BC
ARIS 24236) This mineralization was never followed up but will be reevaluated as part of the 2025 work
program.

Jake
The 1765 ha Jake Property is located 13km west of Clearwater . The project covers 5 BC Minfile gold and
copper occurrences. Historic work at the Jake has defined distinct NW-trending IP anomalies coincident with
anomalous gold in soil geochemical anomalies. Channel sampling of quartz shear veins exposed in trenches
returned from trace values up to 14.7 g/t Au over 0.60m, 7.3 g/t Au over 2.67m, and 17.9 g/t Au over 0.50m.
(BC ARIS 28808).
Other copper-gold and epithermal gold projects that will see work include Hearne Hill South, the Woodjam,
the Tiger and Tiger North, Copper Mountain West, and Q7.
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.
