EAGLE PLAINS STAKES MULITPLE LITHIUM PROSPECTS

IN WESTERN CANADA

Cranbrook, B.C., March 2, 2023: Management of Eagle Plains Resources Ltd. (TSX -

V:EPL) ("EPL" or "Eagle Plains") is pleased to announce that it has successfully acquired

by staking 2 properties in British Columbia and 4 in Saskatchewan comprising a total of

19,503 ha which are considered prospective for the presence of LCT type pegmatites and

lithium mineralization. These projects are owned 100% by Eagle Plains and may be subject

to underlying royalties in favour of Eagle Royalties Ltd., a 100% owned subsidiary of Eagle

Plains. Staking activities followed extensive research conducted by Eagle Plains’ personnel

utilizing both public and proprietary data sources.

The individual projects were targeted for lithium bearing minerals such as spodumene, based

on the presence of favourable stream and lake sediment geochemistry, geological mapping,

and significant mineral occurrences within the subject areas. Updates to t he Eagle Plains

website are underway to reflect the recent acquisitions.

Three existing Eagle Plains properties (26,551 ha) also located in British Columbia and

Saskatchewan are considered prospective for lithium mineralization , however p revious

exploration on these projects has not specifically targeted the commodity.

Planning is currently underway to systematically explore and evaluate each of these

prospects during the 2023 field season.

Eagle Plains also holds a number of REE and other critical metals projects that are available

for option. Please visit our website at https://www.eagleplains.com for additional details.

About Eagle Plains Resources

2

Based in Cranbrook, B.C., Eagle Plains is a well -funded, prolific project generator that

continues to conduct research, acquire and explore mineral projects throughout weste rn

Canada. The Company was formed in 1992 and is the ninth-oldest listed issuer on the TSX-

V (and one of only three that has not seen a roll -back or restructuring of its shares). Eagle

Plains has continued to deliver shareholder value over the years and through numerous spin-

outs has transferred over $100,000,000 in value directly to its shareholders, with Copper

Canyon Resources and recently Taiga Gold being notable examples. The Company is

committed to steadily enhancing shareholder value by advancing our diverse portfolio of

projects toward discovery through collaborative partnerships and development of a highly

experienced technical team.

In late 2022 Eagle Plains announced the formation of a separate division within the

Company; Eagle Royalties Ltd. (“ER”) which holds many of Eagle Plains’ diverse portfolio

of royalty assets. The restructuring will enhance the valuation of Eagle Plains’ extensive

royalty interests, enabling ER to market and develop its royalty assets while seeking

additional royalty acquisition opportunities. Eagle Plains’ royalties cover a broad spectrum

of commodities on projects controlled by Cameco Corp., Iso Energy Corp., Denison Mines

Corp., Skeena Resources Ltd. and Hecla Mining Co./Banyan Gold Corp., among others.

Planning is underway to spin-out Eagle Royalties during H22023 which will enable Eagle

Plains to continue to focus on its core business model of acquiring and advancing grassroots

critical- and precious-metal exploration properties.

Expenditures from 2011-2022 on Eagle Plains-related projects exceed $30M, the majority

of which was funded by third -party partners. This exploration work resulted in

approximately 45,000m of diamond -drilling and extensive ground -based exploration work

facilitating the advancement of numerou s projects at various stages of development.

Throughout the exploration process, our mission is to help maintain prosperous communities

by exploring for and discovering resource opportunities while building lasting relationships

through honest and respectful business practices.

On behalf of the Board of Directors of Eagle Plains
