[{"type":"text","content":"Eagle Plains Reviews 2023 Drilling Results at Vulcan, Engages Sinn for Communications and MarketingCRANBROOK, BC / ACCESSWIRE / January 18, 2024 / Eagle Plains Resources Ltd. (TSX-V:EPL) (\"EPL\" or \"Eagle Plains\") reports that final analytical results have been received from its Summer, 2023, seven-hole, 4253m (13,953') drill program on Eagle Plains' 100% owned Vulcan Project located 30km west of the world-class Sullivan deposit in Kimberley, BC. The Vulcan Property is accessible by an extensive network of well-maintained forest service roads. All holes completed during the 2023 program successfully intersected alteration and mineralization interpreted to represent stratabound Sedimentary Exhalative (\"Sedex\") style zinc-lead-silver. Drilling was successful in further defining sub-basin architecture and expanded the known area of bedded mineralization hosted in the Lower Aldridge Formation, first intersected in 2022 (DDH VU22004). Mineralized clasts within a fragmental unit have been defined over a strike length of approximately 700m and approximately 250m down-dip (west). In addition to the reported mineralization, significant tourmaline alteration of sediments, coupled with an increase in fragmental thicknesses suggests close proximity to basin-controlling faults and a mineralized feeder zone. Downhole electromagnetic surveying (BHEM) was carried out at the completion of drilling activity, though due to caving hole conditions only select holes could be adequately surveyed. Results and interpretation for this survey are pending.View Vulcan Project Drillhole Plan here2023 Drilling Highlights/Observations:All holes drilled in 2023 intersected mineralized clasts within a broad fragmental package. Mineralized fragmental has been defined over a strike length of ~700 m and ~250 m down-dip;Bedded mineralization in lower-Aldridge sediments (newly defined \"Vulcan Horizon\") appears to be best defined in southern drill holes (VU22004, VU23001, VU23002);Intense tourmaline alteration associated with semi massive pyrrhotite-pyrite±chalcopyrite±arsenopyrite increases in intensity and thickness to the south.2023 Drill-hole Summaries:DDH VU22004 (extension)Drillhole extended to test for additional mineralization intersected in VU22004DDH VU23001further defined lower Aldridge \"Vulcan Horizon\" mineralization first intersected in...
