Eagle Royalties reports encouraging drill results from the AurMac gold project in Yukon, where it holds royalty interests ranging from 0.5% to 2.0%. Banyan Gold's drilling program revealed significant gold intercepts across 13 holes in the Powerline resource area, subject to Eagle's 1% net smelter return royalty. Notable results include intersections of visible gold and high-grade intervals, with highlights such as 197.0m grading 0.72 g/t Au and exceptional grades of 539.30 g/t over 0.2m. Banyan completed 118 drill-holes totaling over 21,000m in 2024, with test recoveries showing 93% at Powerline and 90% at Airstrip using conventional mill processing.
Eagle Plains Resources (TSXV:EPL) and Ya'thi Néné Lands and Resource Office (YNLR) have signed an Exploration Agreement for mineral exploration in Nuhenéné, the traditional territory of the Athabasca First Nations. The agreement covers six uranium exploration projects in the Lake Athabasca region, which are under option to Xcite Resources Inc.

Eagle Plains Resources (TSXV:EPL) announces that partner Refined Energy Corp (RUU)(RFMCF)(CWA0) has started 2024 work on the Dufferin Project in Saskatchewan. The project, consisting of North and West Dufferin properties, is located near Cameco's Centennial Deposit. Planned work includes an airborne MobileMT geophysical survey at Dufferin North and interpretation of historical geophysical data at both sites.
Refined Energy has the option to acquire a 75% interest in the project. The partners have also acquired an additional 2,837 hectares at Dufferin West, expanding the project to 10,140 hectares. The Dufferin Project is prospective for uranium mineralization near the Virgin River Shear Zone.

Eagle Plains Resources (TSX-V:EPL) has completed 2024 fieldwork at its 100%-owned Adamant Property in British Columbia, which hosts Rare Earth Element (REE) mineralization. The company has also received a Multi-Year Area Based Permit (MYAB) for geophysics, trenching, and drilling. The 2024 fieldwork focused on extending known syenite and pegmatite dyke swarms and evaluating additional targets. It generated 23 rock samples and 2 stream-silt samples, along with scintillometer survey traverses. Previous work in the area has shown high-grade REE mineralization, with samples returning up to 12.63% Total Rare Earth Oxides (TREO). Eagle Plains is actively seeking a partner for the project, which meets qualifying transaction requirements for both CSE and TSX.V listings.

1. A 267-line kilometre helicopter-borne magnetic survey at Pine Channel, identifying ten new prospective trends.
2. A 148-line kilometre infill, high-resolution airborne EM and magnetic survey at Shasko Bay.
The Pine Channel Property has shown promising historical results, including bonanza-grade gold mineralization up to 870 g/t Au in grab samples and significant drill intercepts. The Shasko Bay uranium target has potential for unconformity and basement style uranium mineralization. An exploration permit for Shasko Bay is valid until March 1st, 2026, allowing for advanced exploration activities.
Eagle Plains Resources (TSXV:EPL) has commenced fieldwork on its 100%-owned Snowstorm Property, located 45km E of Nakusp, British Columbia.

Previous exploration revealed high-grade samples, including:
- Up to 572 g/t silver, 2.81 g/t gold, and 22.4% lead at the Snowstorm occurrence
- 1.4 g/t gold, 600 g/t silver, 29% lead, and 29.8% zinc at the Juno occurrence
- 1540 g/t silver, 41.1% lead, 16.1% antimony, and 1.58% copper at the West Ridge vein
- 27.5 g/t gold, 1083 g/t silver, 56.2% lead, and 0.55% zinc at the Silver Sparrow occurrence
- 144 g/t gold, 158 g/t silver, 6.04% lead, and 3.47% zinc at the Lakeview occurrence
