[{"type":"text","content":"Earthwise Minerals Provides Update on 2025 Field Program at Iron Range Gold Project, British ColumbiaVANCOUVER, BC / ACCESS Newswire / May 5, 2025 / Earthwise Minerals Corp. (CSE:WISE)(FSE:966) (\"Earthwise\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce the planning of a summer exploration program at the Iron Range Gold Project (\"the Project\") has commenced. Earthwise holds the exclusive option to acquire up to an 80% interest in the Project, which is 100% owned by Eagle Plains Resources Ltd. (TSX-V:EPL) (\"EPL\" or \"Eagle Plains\").The 2025 field program will be under the direction of TerraLogic Exploration Inc. All of the exploration data collected by Eagle Plains since 2001, as well as all of the available historic data, has been integrated into a GIS database, which will be used to prioritize areas for ground follow up. Drill targeting at the Talon Zone discovery in 2010 was based on the presence of an extensive multi-element soil geochemical anomaly associated with a structural splay from the regional Iron Range Fault System. Drill hole locations and depths were successfully refined using Induced Polarization (IP) geophysics. 2025 fieldwork will focus on tight spaced soil sampling within previously defined geochemical anomalies, as well as extending soil coverage to new areas of the property, including fault splays and gold in till anomalies identified by Eagle Plains. Other 2025 work will include prospecting and structural mapping.Drilling at Iron Range in 2010 resulted in the discovery of the Talon Zone, where drill-hole IR10-010 intersected 2 intervals of strong and continuous mineralization including 14.0m grading 5.1g/t gold, 1.86% lead, 2.1% Zinc, 75.3g/t silver and 7.1m grading 8.13g/t gold, 2.84% lead, 3.07% zinc, 86.6g/t silver (Eagle Plains news release December 21st, 2010). Previous drilling 10km north of the Talon Zone in 2008 by Eagle Plains intersected gold mineralization in drill-hole IR08006 which assayed 7.0m grading 51.52g/t (1.50 oz/ton) gold (Eagle Plains news release dated April 20th, 2009).The 21,437ha Iron Range Project is considered by management of both Eagle Plains and Earthwise to hold excellent potential for the presence of structurally controlled gold-silver mineralization, iron-oxide copper-gold (\"IOCG\") and Sullivan-style lead-zinc-silver sedimentary-exhalative (\"sedex\") mineralization.
