Eagle Plains Increases Saskatchewan Uranium Portfolio to 40,050 Hectares

CRANBROOK, BC / ACCESSWIRE / February 12, 2024 / Eagle Plains Resources Ltd. (TSX-V:EPL) ("EPL" or "Eagle Plains") has recently acquired, through the Saskatchewan MARS on-line tenure system, significant additions to its extensive portfolio of Saskatchewan uranium assets.

Recent staking initiated on January 30, 2024 included additions to the existing Lorado, Gulch, Collins Bay Extension (CBE) and Dianne Lake projects, and a new project at Richards Lake.

Eagle Plains currently holds a 100% interest in 18 individual projects comprising a total of 40,050 ha of mineral dispositions in Saskatchewan covering both basement and unconformity hosted uranium targets. Since November 08, 2023 Eagle Plains has acquired an additional 6,643 ha of uranium-focused tenure. The projects range from early-stage grassroots to drill ready and are distributed throughout the prospective Athabasca Basin including the Patterson Lake South (PLS), Beaverlodge, and Dufferin-Centennial camps.

About Richards Lake

The 1317 ha Richards Lake Project is located 14km south of Fond-du-Lac. Previous documented work on the project includes an airborne MEGATEM geophysical survey, flown by UEX in 2005, which identified a number of conductive trends. UEX followed this up in 2007 with a ground based TDEM survey which refined the airborne conductors and defined priority drill targets to test for unconformity hosted uranium mineralization (AF73O3-0022). The property has never been drill tested. A detailed compilation and interpretation of available data from historical work programs has begun and will lead to recommendations for future work.

About Dianne Lake

The 4101 ha Dianne Lake Project is located 15km northwest of Uranium City and is prospective for both unconformity and Beaverlodge style structurally controlled uranium mineralization. Grab samples from a 2022 prospecting traverse included two samples collected near a sandstone/gneiss contact that returned greater than 1% U3O8.

EPL is seeking to advance its uranium portfolio through collaborative partnerships. Recent partnerships include an option agreement with Xcite Resources Inc. (XRI: TSX.V) which includes 6 projects in the Uranium City area. (see Dec 14 news release)
