[{"type":"text","content":"Eagle Plains, SKRR Complete Phase One Fieldwork on the Olson Gold Project, Northern Saskatchewan; Fall Drilling PlannedCRANBROOK, BC / ACCESSWIRE / July 27, 2020 / Eagle Plains Resources Ltd. (TSXV:EPL) (\"EPL\" or \"Eagle Plains\") has completed the first phase of the 2020 exploration program on the Olson property (the \"Property\") located 100 km east of La Ronge, northern Saskatchewan. SKRR Exploration Inc. (formerly Canex Energy) may earn a 75% interest in the 5038ha property with details of the option agreement outlined below.Phase One fieldwork was designed to define targets for a follow-up diamond drilling program planned for the Fall 2020 season. The program consisted of a ground DC resistivity / IP geophysical survey in conjunction with geological fieldwork that included detailed prospecting and mapping, infill soil geochemical sampling and channel sampling of trenches (see news release June 02, 2020).Phase One Work SummaryPhase One fieldwork was designed to define targets for an upcoming diamond drilling program planned for Fall, 2020. Between June 01 to 11th, Discovery International Geophysics completed 13 lines (8.6 line kilometers total) of a combined IP/ DC resistivity geophysical survey over the Point, Tuscan and Juba areas. This was followed by a 13 day geological field program carried out by Terralogic Exploration Inc. Soil sampling, prospecting, field mapping, and channel sampling were undertaken to delineate new areas of gold mineralization as well as advance known showings to identify and prioritize drill targets.In total, 484 gridded soil samples were collected at the Point, Tuscan, Ackbar, Jena and Juba showing areas. Mapping and prospecting work was conducted to confirm gold mineralization at both known showings and in underexplored areas of the Property. The Juba, Jena, Point, Ackbar, Tuscan, Olson, and Dosko-Siskin were sampled, with channel sampling completed at the Point and Juba showings.All 2020 analytical and geochemical results are pending and results will be released as they are received, compiled and interpreted.Permitting is underway with the Saskatchewan Ministry of Environment for the upcoming diamond drilling program.Olson Project SummaryThe Olson project is host to regionally-sheared, highly-strained meta-volcanic rocks which are considered to be prospective for orogenic gold mineralization....
