Eagle Plains Stakes “Robinson Creek” High-Grade Gol d,
Copper Property in Saskatchewan
Cranbrook, B.C., September 6th, 2017: Eagle Plains has acquired by staking, a block of c laims named
Robinson Creek , covering an area of 1,000 ha centered approximate ly 15km west of Flin Flon,
Manitoba. The acquisition follows extensive resear ch conducted by Eagle Plains in the area through
TerraLogic Exploration Inc., a wholly-owned subsidi ary. The property area has seen encouraging
historical exploration activity targeting gold and base-metals. Numerous gold and base-metal
occurrences have been documented by past operators. The claims are 100% owned by Eagle Plains and
carry no underlying royalties or encumbrances. The property is contiguous with Cameco and SGO
Mining Inc., which was recently acquired by SSR Mining (formerly Silver Standard Resources).

Property Geology and Mineralization
Gold Targets
Bedrock in the vicinity of the gold mineralized zon es consists of Missi conglomerate rocks containing
lenses of greywacke and Amisk Group volcanics intru ded by gabbroic sills. Both are intruded by
porphyritic granodiorite. The general strike in the area is northwest, dipping from vertical to 80°
northeast. At least 3 separate northwest-trending zones of gold-bearing quartz veining occur and are
collectively named the Robinson Creek showings. Gol d mineralization at the Wasy, Wasp, Vein/Bleiler
2
showings is associated with carbonate-bearing quart z veins within broad zones of shearing along the
contacts between Amisk Missi group rocks.
VMS Targets
The SAM Konuto-type Volcanogenic Massive Sulphide ( “VMS”) mineralization is hosted in a fault
contact along a distinct stratigraphic break betwee n volcaniclastic and siliceous mafic volcanic rocks .
Mineralization consists of pyrite-pyrrhotite and ch alcopyrite as local disseminations and stringers. T he
SAM Zone has been traced to a depth of 200m, over a strike length of 200m and across a width of up to
50m. Gold grades vary with the highest gold grades associated with sections that contain significant z inc
mineralization.
Property History
The Robinson Creek claims cover 8 separate Saskatch ewan Mineral Deposit Index (SMDI) occurrences.
The area has been worked by a number of different companies and individuals since the first claims were
staked in 1915. Hudson Bay Mining and Smelting acqu ired claims in the Robinson Creek area in the
1940’s and although limited drilling returned signi ficant gold assays, the claims were allowed to laps e.
SMDC was active at Robinson Creek during the 1980’s , funding trenching, geophysics, geochemistry
and limited diamond drilling independently and with option partners. The last significant work was
completed by Cameco in 1989.
The SAM area saw work by Hudson Bay in the 1950’s, Granges Resources from the late 1970’s to the
1990’s and more recently and Aur Resources in 2000.
Companies working on the other SMDI occurrences inc luded Claude Resources, SMDI, Cameco and
Hudson Bay, as well as a number of other junior explorers and prospectors.
The technical information presented above is repeat ed for historical reference only and cannot be reli ed
upon as the Company’s QP, as defined under NI-43-10 1 has not prepared nor verified the historical
information. All drill intercepts are drill-indicat ed lengths. Insufficient technical information exis ts to
demonstrate the true widths of these intersections. All of the technical information is derived from p ublic
documents available through the Saskatchewan Government Ministry of the Economy.
Future Plans
Eagle Plains intends to carry out a detailed compil ation of all historical work in the property area, and
will work to create a comprehensive database to aid in the planning and execution of future exploratio n
programs on the property.
Eagle Plains is seeking joint-venture participation to further advance the Robinson Creek project.
