[{"type":"text","content":"Eagle Plains Highlights Intrusion Related Gold Potential at Dragon Lake Project, YTCRANBROOK, BC / ACCESS Newswire / August 18, 2025 / Eagle Plains Resources Ltd. (TSXV:EPL)(OTCQB:EGPLF) (\"EPL\" or \"Eagle Plains\") is pleased to provide an update on its 100% owned Dragon Lake gold project, located 85km northeast of Ross River, YT.The 893 ha Dragon Lake property is located within the prolific Tintina Gold Province, host to multiple million-ounce-plus gold mines and deposits across the central Yukon and Alaska, including Snowline Gold's Valley deposit, located approximately 105 km to the northeast.HighlightsLocated in Yukon within the prolific Tintina Gold Belt,Hosts Tombstone Suite intrusive rocks with associated gold mineralization,Historical trenching reported up to 1.2 g/t Au over 15m, 6.7 g/t Au over 4.0m, 2.8 g.t Au over 6.0m,Historical drilling returned up to 2.14 g/t Au over 10.2m, 0.56g/t Au over 11.54m,Broad, untested soil geochemical anomalies up to 400m x 700m in area.See Dragon Lake Project Information and Map hereProperty Geology and MineralizationMineralization 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 HistoryThe 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 ResultsEagle 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 ...
