Eagle Plains Announces Financing

Cranbrook, BC; 07 September, 2006: Eagle Plains Resources Ltd. (TSX-V:EPL) announces that it intends to complete a brokered private placement to a single arms-length investor. Application will be filed with the TSX Venture Exchange (TSX-V) to sell 461,538 units at a price of $0.65 CDN per unit for aggregate proceeds of $300,000 CDN.  Each unit will consist of one (1) “flow-through” common share and one half (1/2) of one non-flow-through common share purchase warrant.  Each whole non-flow-through common share purchase warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one (1) non-flow-though common share at a price of $0.80 CDN for a period of eighteen (18) months.

Funds generated by the financing will be used to advance exploration activities on the Company’s Eagle Lake property located in Saskatchewan.

Eagle Plains Resources continues to conduct research, acquisition and exploration projects in western Canada. The Company controls over 35 gold and base metal projects, many of which are joint-ventured with third parties including NovaGold Inc. (AMEX,TSX:NG), Alexco Resource Corp. (TSX-V:AXR), Blind Creek Resources and Golden Cariboo Resources Inc. (TSX-V:GCC). These agreements expose Eagle Plains to over $13,000,000 in exploration expenditures over the next five years. In recent years, Eagle Plains has completed option agreements with Billiton Metals, Rio Algom Exploration, Kennecott Exploration, Viceroy Resource Corp. and numerous other junior exploration companies, resulting in over 30,000m (100,000’) of drilling and over $9,000,000 in exploration spending on its projects since 1998.
