Eagle Plains Highlights Intrusion Related Gold Potential at Dragon Lake Project, YT
Eagle Plains Resources (OTCQB:EGPLF) has provided an update on its 100% owned Dragon Lake gold project in Yukon. The 893-hectare property, located 85km northeast of Ross River, sits within the prolific Tintina Gold Province. The project has shown promising historical exploration results, with trenching yielding up to 1.2 g/t Au over 15m and drilling returning up to 2.14 g/t Au over 10.2m.
The property features a Tombstone Suite intrusive with associated gold mineralization in quartz veins and skarns. Notable exploration highlights include broad soil geochemical anomalies up to 400m x 700m in area, with recent sampling returning values up to 19.8 g/t gold from a 1.2m wide quartz vein.

Property Geology and Mineralization
Mineralization on the property is associated with an elongate Tombstone Suite intrusive which has intruded sedimentary rocks of the Hyland Group. Contact metamorphism related to intrusion of the pluton has resulted in a distinct alteration halo which hosts known mineralization. Gold mineralization occurs in quartz veins hosted in altered intrusive and sedimentary rocks and associated with skarns along the intrusive contact zones.
Property History
The property was first staked in 1966 by Kennco Exploration, which completed geological and geophysical survey work. Canamax and Welcome North carried out additional surface work in 1983 and 1988, with the 1988 results including a 1m chip sample that returned 12.7g/t Au (Assessment Report 092731). Eagle Plains acquired the property in 1996 and has carried out geological mapping, soil geochemical sampling, trenching, geophysical surveys including IP/Resistivity, VLF/EM, and airborne EM/Mag, and 909m of diamond drilling in 10 holes, with the last work on the property in 2011.
Eagle Plains Exploration Results
Eagle Plains first carried out work on the Dragon Lake property in 1997 with a program of prospecting and hand trenching. The results were encouraging, including the discovery of two new gold showings and a chip sample from a hand trench that averaged 1.2 g/t Au over 15m (Assessment Report 093271).
More recent work by Eagle Plains includes a 2010 program where continuous chip trench sampling in the East Showing area returned values from trace amounts up to 4.9 g/t gold over 6.0m, including 19 g/t Au over 1.0m, 6.7 g/t over 4.0m and 6.0m grading 2.8 g/t (Assessment Report 095257). A grab sample of material from a 1.2m wide quartz vein returned 19.8 g/t gold. Exploration pits dug in 2010 by Eagle Plains in areas of anomalous soil samples from past programs returned values from trace amounts up to 2.85 g/t gold and 2.25 g/t gold.
The first diamond drilling on the property was completed by Eagle Plains in 1999 with DDH D99-01 returning 2.14 g/t Au over 10.2m from 49.3 to 59.5 m, and 3.7 g/t Au over 1.2m from 106.6 - 107.8m. (Assessment Report 094042). The mineralization was associated with skarn alteration along the intrusive contact. The 2011 diamond drilling returned values from trace amounts up to 11.54m grading 0.56g/t Au from 60.0 - 71.54m in DDH DR11004, including 3m grading 1.57g/t Au from 65.0 - 68.0m (Assessment Report 095467).
The extent of known precious metal mineralization, and anomalous soil geochemistry forms a broad WNW trending zone measuring approximately 1.3 km in length and 0.35 km in width, and includes an area of coincident anomalous Au, Cu and Bi soil geochemistry roughly 400 m by 700 m in size. The gold mineralization appears in part to be controlled by north to northeast trending structures.
Management cautions that historical results were collected and reported by past operators and have not been verified nor confirmed by a Qualified Person but form a basis for ongoing work on the subject properties. Management cautions that past results or discoveries on proximate land are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be achieved on the subject properties.
