Eagle Plains Executes Option Agreement for Donna Gold Project, South-Central British Columbia

24.01.2019  |  Accesswire

CRANBROOK, BC / ACCESSWIRE / January 24, 2019 / Eagle Plains Resources Ltd. ("EPL":TSX-V, "Eagle Plains") has executed an option agreement with 1149781 BC Ltd. (a private B.C. company), ("1149781") whereby 1149781 may earn up to a 60% interest in the Donna property located 60 km east of Vernon in central British Columbia. Under terms of the agreement, 1149781 may earn up to a 60% interest in the 10,000 ha property by completing exploration expenditures of $3,000,000, making cash payments of $250,000 and issuing 1,000,000 voting class common shares to EPL over a 5 year period.

Donna Project Summary:

The core claims of the Donna property were acquired in 2016 by Eagle Plains through an agreement with ALX Uranium Corp., with additional tenures subsequently added through staking. The Property is located in the Monashee Mountains within the source headwaters of the historic Kettle River and Yeoward Creek placer gold camps. The property lies within one of the largest clusters of anomalous values in gold and typical associated pathfinder elements identified in the British Columbia Regional Geochemical Surveys stream-sediment program carried out in the joint Federal - Provincial programs from 1985-1990. Active placer mining activity occurs along creeks draining the property area. The most recent drilling on the property returned intercepts of up to 2.0 m of 8.72 g/t gold.

The Property is underlain by a sequence of marine sediments comprising carbonaceous black argillite, limestone, and volcanic rocks of Permian to Lower Triassic age. Locally these rocks were intruded by stocks and plugs of mafic-intermediate composition. The project area is considered to hold good potential to host intrusive-related gold mineralization.

Since acquiring the property in 2016, Eagle Plains has carried out annual systematic exploration, including a 470 line-km geophysical survey in 2017 which followed a comprehensive compilation of all historical work. The property boasts a GIS database consisting of rock, soil, silt, till, trench and drill-hole results within and adjacent the property area.

Donna Project History:

The Dona showing was discovered in 1973 by El Paso Mining and Milling Company ("El Paso"), during follow-up of anomalous gold values generated by a regional stream sediment sampling program. Trenching by El Paso in 1974 in an area defined by an As-Au-Ag-Pb soil anomaly exposed numerous narrow quartz veins which returned assays including 29.5 g/t Au and 89.4 g/t Ag over 2.29 m in Trench 4, and 122.4 g/t Au and 39.3 g/t Ag over 0.8 m in Trench 8 (Ainsworth, 2010).

Subsequent work carried out between 1975 and 2009 by previous operators consisted of trenching, silt sampling, extensive soil and biogeochemical surveying and limited drilling. Between 2009-2011 ESO Uranium (later named Alpha Minerals) conducted exploration programs consisting of reconnaissance stream sediment, rock geochemical and detailed soil surveys to define targets for a total of 20 diamond drill holes. Alpha and Interconnected Ventures Corporation carried out the most recent work on the property in 2014 comprising an induced polarization ("IP") geophysical survey, followed by a four-hole, 492m diamond drilling program. All four holes intersected gold mineralization. The best intercept was in DDH14-21 which returned 2.0 m of 8.72 g/t gold. This drill collar is located 1.5 km west of the area of historic trenching and drilling, significantly expanding the area of known gold mineralization (Koffyberg, 2015).
