[{"type":"text","content":"Eagle Plains Provides Update on Saskatchewan Gold and VMS Projects CRANBROOK, BC / ACCESS Newswire / May 8, 2025 / Eagle Plains Resources Ltd. (TSXV:EPL) (\"EPL\" or \"Eagle Plains\") is pleased to provide an update on select properties in the La Ronge region of northeastern Saskatchewan, in the area of Ramp Metals' (TSX-V : RAMP) recent discoveries on their Rottenstone SW Project. The highlighted projects are owned 100% by Eagle Plains with no underlying royalties or encumbrances, and all are available for option.See Gold and Base Metals La Ronge Region Map HERECampbell LakeThe 7852 ha Campbell Lake property is located 73 km north of La Ronge, and is contiguous with the Rottenstone SW project. Eagle Plains acquired the property by staking immediately after Ramp announced the results from discovery hole Ranger-01, which returned 73.55 g/t Au over 7.5m (Ramp Metals NR June 17, 2024). The Campbell Lake property is underlain by metamorphic rocks assigned to the Rottenstone Domain, which also hosts mineralization at the Rottenstone SW Project. The Campbell Lake claims have seen very limited historical work, and Eagle Plains has not carried out any work on the property to date.CookThe 2741 ha Cook Project is located 92km northeast of La Ronge and overlies two Saskatchewan Mineral Deposit Index (\"SMDI\") occurrences. The Cook Showing (SMDI 2300), is reported to include historical channel samples up to 1m @ 73.7 g/t (2.612 oz/ton) Au and is associated with lesser Pb-Zn-Cu mineralization. The PA Showing (SMDI 2301) reports historical grab samples up to 4.5 g/t Au (0.161 oz/ton), associated with molybdenum (Mo). Mineralization identified on the property is associated with quartz veins and shear zones up to 50cm in width, hosted in intrusive, metasedimentary and metavolcanic rocks.2023 work on the property by Terralogic Exploration Inc. focused on locating the historic Cook SMDI showing and collecting grab samples for modern fire assay and multi-element analysis. Results confirmed the presence of high-grade vein-hosted gold mineralization at the Cook showing. Grab sample CFCKR001 contained visible gold hosted in a 10 cm wide vein and returned 9.01 g/t Au. Grab sample CFCKR004, comprised of quartz-vein material from the same vein, returned 10.8 g/t Au. Grab Sample VBCKR002, in-situ vein material collected from along a trench wall, returne...
