[{"type":"text","content":"Eagle Plains / SKRR Announce 2022 Winter Drilling Program at Olson Gold Project, SaskatchewanCRANBROOK, BC / ACCESSWIRE / January 27, 2022 / Eagle Plains Resources Ltd. (TSXV:EPL)(\"EPL\", \"Eagle Plains\") and SKRR Exploration (\"SKRR\": CSE) are pleased to announced that crews and equipment have been mobilized to EPL's 100%-owned Olson property (the \"Property\") to commence a 10-hole, 1850m (6000') diamond drilling program. SKRR may earn up to a 75% interest in the property over three years (option agreement details below). The Olson property area covers 5,712 ha located within the Trans Hudson Corridor 100 km east of La Ronge, Saskatchewan and 80km south of SSR Mining's Seabee Gold Operation. The 2022 diamond drill program is fully funded by SKRR.2022 Drill ProgramThe current program will follow up on results from the EPL/SKRR 18-hole, 2981 m (9778') drill program completed in Fall 2020 and the 12-hole, 1674m (5492') drill program completed in Winter 2021. The 2020/21 programs were successful in defining significant gold mineralization at known but underexplored target areas as well as identifying new mineralized zones at the previously undrilled Michael's Lake and Ackbar Target Areas (see EPL News Releases May 6, 2021, February 4th, 2021 and March 25th, 2021). The current 10-hole, 1850m (6000') 2022 drill program is designed to further test gold mineralization at the Olson, Ackbar Lake, Carina and Michael's Lake zones.See Olson regional map here2022 Target AreasOlson:Drilling at the Olson Target Area is designed to complete a series of step-out drill holes along strike and along dip from previous mineralized intersections at the Olson Zone.Previous highlights include:OL20017: 19.94m @1.19 g/t Au (130.46m - 150.40m), including1.23m @ 9.64 g/t Au (140.65m - 141.88m)OL21025: 13.1m @ 0.89 g/t Au (32.22m - 45.32m),OL21026: 29.44m @ 1.30 g/t Au (105.04m - 134.48m), including0.78m @ 14.55 g/t Au (126.45m - 127.23m)Ackbar Lake:Drilling at the Ackbar Lake area is designed to test a broad magnetic anomaly positioned perpendicular to known shears. Soil geochemistry surveys from the area returned highly anomalous Au-in-soil results that correlate well with mapped geology.Previous highlights include:OL21029: 8.12m @ 0.75 g/t Au (98.00m - 106.12m), including:1.40m @ 2.39 g/t Au (101.75m - 103.20m)Michael's Lake:The Michael's Lake Target ...
