EARTHWISE MINERALS COMPLETES DATA REVIEW OF IRON RANGE GOLD

PROJECT, BRITISH COLUMBIA

April 23, 2025 – VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA – Earthwise Minerals Corp . (CSE: WISE & FSE: 966)

(“Earthwise” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce the completion of the data review at the recently

optioned Iron Range Gold Project (“the Project”). Eagle Plains Resources Ltd. (TSX-V:EPL) (“EPL” or “Eagle

Plains”) has been exploring the property for 25 years with approximately $8M in exploration expenditures

over this time. Drilling at Iron Range in 2010 resulted in the discovery of the Talon Zone, which will be the

focus of exploration for the Company.

Project highlights include:

• Continuity of geological experience and expertise through the Eagle Plains and Terra Logic

Exploration team.

• Fully permitted with a Multi -Year Area Based (MYAB) permit in place , with provisions for

geophysical surveying, mechanical trenching, access trail construction and diamond drilling.

• Past drilling success at the Talon Zone and O-Ray Zone targets.

• Large property with blue sky potential.

• Existing drill targets at the Talon Zone defined by historical Eagle Plains work.

• Large property with significant blue sky potential.

• Exceptional infrastructure within the property boundaries including the CPR mainline railway,

Highway 3, an extensive network of logging roads, a high-pressure gas pipeline and a high-voltage

hydro-electric line.

“Our team is incredibly impressed with the professionalism and years record keeping at Eagles Plains ,”

said Mark Luchinski, CEO of Earthwise. “We can confidently move forward in our exploration of the Talon

zone understanding the success of the 2010 drilling program with a drilling permit in hand.”

The 21,437ha 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 a portion of the property subject to an underlying 1.0%

Net Smelter Royalty held by a third party.

Iron Range Project Summary

The Iron Range Project, located near Creston, BC, is owned 100% by Eagle Plains, subject to a 1% NSR 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 ir on 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 geo chemical

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 .

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.
