[{"type":"text","content":"Fieldwork Commences on Eagle Plains' Black Diamond Antimony and Precious Metal ProjectCRANBROOK, BC / ACCESS Newswire / June 24, 2025 / Eagle Plains Resources (TSXV:EPL) has mobilized personnel to commence fieldwork on the Black Diamond Property, located 35km W of Invermere, British Columbia. The 866 ha, road-accessible property covers the Black Diamond structural zone, which has been traced for over 12km and hosts high-grade polymetallic silver-lead-zinc-antimony mineralization. The project is 100% owned by Eagle Plains with a 2% NSR held by Eagle Royalties containing a 1% buy-back clause.See Black Diamond Property Information and Map hereThe Black Diamond property has been held by Eagle Plains since 1996. Located within the Toby Creek area, the steeply-dipping north/south-oriented structure is exposed for approximately 760m vertically, and interpreted to have at least 1.6 km of strike-length within property boundaries. Historical pits, trenches and tunnels are located at irregular, exposed intervals over approximately 3km of the Black Diamond structure trace.Most of Eagle Plains work has focused on the northern part of the property, in the area of the historic Black Diamond workings (BC MINFILE 082KSE049). At the Battleship Zone, massive quartz vein material up to 8m in width occurs at the intersection of two structural splays. In 1995, a four-hole, 179.1m, helicopter-supported drilling program funded by a private partnership targeted the Battleship area. Results ranged from trace values to the best intersection in Hole 95-02 at 28.0m to 31.0m, which graded 93.73 g/t silver, 9.66% lead and 5.17% zinc over 3.0m. (true thickness estimated at approximately 1.4m). Concurrent with the 1995 drill program, continuous chip panel-sampling of an historical 66m-long tunnel located 60m vertically below the drill set-up returned an average of 746.3 g/t silver, 25.0% lead and 4.95% zinc over a 24m section which ran along the structure. Within this section, 6m of the tunnel length assayed 1444.7 g/t silver, 50.4% lead and 5.37% zinc. Antimony results from the panel sampling ranged from trace values up to 1180ppm Sb over a 1m interval. 1The current program will focus on the southern part of the property in the area of the Silver Spray Zone (BC MINFILE 082KSE007).
