Eagle Plains Completes Drilling on Tintina
Gold Belt Targets, Central Yukon
Cranbrook, B.C.:Eagle Plains Resources
Ltd. (EPL:ASE) (the "Company") has completed diamond
drilling programs and received analytical results for
its' 100% owned Dragon Lake and Hit properties located
in the Yukon portion of the Tintina Gold Belt.
Drilling on the Dragon Lake property consisted of
4 holes (288m) designed to test for down-dip continuity
of widespread gold-bearing replacement/skarn mineralization
trenched on surface. Although drillholes intersected
thick sections of alteration and sulphide mineralization,
only scattered anomalous gold values grading up to
3.66
g/t Au over 1.2m were encountered.
Work on the Hit property consisted of 2 holes (178m)
designed to test an occurrence of replacement style
gold mineralization which returned 7.85g/t Au over
7.0m in surface trenches. Although the holes encountered
numerous anomalous intersections, grades at depth
were
lower than those at surface, with a maximum value
of 2.56 g/t Au returned over 0.9m.
