Eagle Plains Resources announced results from the 2024 field program at its 100%-owned Snowstorm Property, located 45km East of Nakusp, British Columbia. The property is host to polymetallic veins that carry significant gold-silver-lead-zinc+-antimony mineralization. After reviewing 2024 results additional mineral claims were acquired through staking, increasing the property package to 2084 ha.
The exploration program was conducted and managed by TerraLogic Exploration Inc. of Cranbrook, BC. Highlights: Significant historical workings located and prospected. High grade, vein hosted Au-Ag-Pb mineralization confirmed over 1.7km strike length.
Pine Tree vein sample KBSWR014 (float) returned 76.30 g/t Au, 56.30 g/t Ag and 30.30% Pb. Silver Sparrow (Pine Tree Vein) The 0.5-1.0m wide Pine Tree quartz vein was discovered in 1988 and is exposed in 3 historical trenches. The vein is interpreted to represent the strike length extension of the Silver Sparrow Vein ~70m to the east.
Sample KBSWR012 (grab) returned 2.96 g/t Au, 11.30 g/t Ag, 0.23% Pb. Sample KBSWR013 (float) returned 21.20 g/t Au, 42.20 g/t Ag, 2.14% Pb. Sample KbsWR014 (float) returned 76.30 g-t Au, 56.
30 g/t Ag, and. 3.30% Pb. White Eagle (MinFile 082KSW126) The White Eagle Showing is covered by active crown grants and was not sampled during the 2024 program.
Historical reports indicate up to 7 surface trenches and 2 adits were developed between 1928-1930 exposing 2 mineralized veins hosting sulphide ore shoots up to 0.6m in diameter. Historical sampling reported up to 74.8 g/t (2.2 oz/ton) Au, 1141.7 g/t (33.3 oz/ton) Ag and 33.80 % Pb. Lakeview Trenches (MinFile 082K SW198) Discovered in 1988 the Lakeview showing includes 2 small hand dug trenches exposing massive galena-sphalerite-pyrite mineralization hosted in 0.2m wide quartz veins.
Rock sample MMSWR003 (float) collected downslope of the trenches returned 3.40 g/t Au, 17.20 g/t Ag., 0.57% Pb and 0.18% Zn. West Ridge (MinFile 082KW197) Historic workings developed between 1928-1930 includes 7 trenches and a 15.2m shaft from the ridgetop and a 150m long adit. The mineralized quartz vein is up to 1.0m wide and hosts pyrite- galena-sphalerites-stibnite-tetrahedrite.
Sample MKSWR001 (float) was collected downslope of a historic trench and returned 47.00 g/t Ag and 1.32% Pb. Juno (MinFile 082KSw197) The 2024 field work did not include the Juno showings. Developed around 1928 the vein was explored in multiple trenches and an adit.
Reported grades include 1.4 g/t Au, 600.0 g/t Ag, 29.0% Pb and 29.8% Zn (Minister of Mines Annual Report 1925). The Juno showing requires future follow-up and assessment. Rock grab samples and float samples are selective samples are selective samples by nature and as such are not necessarily representative of the mineralization hosted across the property.
