Fieldwork Commences on Eagle Plains' Snowstorm Gold Project
Eagle Plains Resources (TSXV:EPL) has commenced fieldwork on its 100%-owned Snowstorm Property, located 45km E of Nakusp, British Columbia. The 1026 ha property hosts polymetallic veins with significant gold-silver-lead-zinc mineralization. The property is part of the historic Slocan Mining Camp and contains 6 BC Minfile occurrences. 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
Eagle Plains aims to assess the project for its bulk-tonnage potential, as no historical drilling has been reported on the property.
Eagle Plains Resources (TSXV:EPL) ha iniziato i lavori di campo sul suo proprietà Snowstorm, di cui detiene il 100%, situato a 45 km a est di Nakusp, nella Columbia Britannica. La proprietà di 1026 ha ospita vene polimetalliche con significativa mineralizzazione di oro, argento, piombo e zinco. Essa fa parte del storico Slocan Mining Camp e contiene 6 occorrenze del Minfile della Columbia Britannica. Le esplorazioni precedenti hanno rivelato campioni ad alta legge, tra cui:
- Fino a 572 g/t di argento, 2.81 g/t di oro e 22.4% di piombo all'occorrenza di Snowstorm
- 1.4 g/t di oro, 600 g/t di argento, 29% di piombo e 29.8% di zinco all'occorrenza di Juno
- 1540 g/t di argento, 41.1% di piombo, 16.1% di antimonio e 1.58% di rame alla vena di West Ridge
- 27.5 g/t di oro, 1083 g/t di argento, 56.2% di piombo e 0.55% di zinco all'occorrenza di Silver Sparrow
- 144 g/t di oro, 158 g/t di argento, 6.04% di piombo e 3.47% di zinco all'occorrenza di Lakeview
Eagle Plains punta a valutare il progetto per il suo potenziale di tonnellaggio bulk, poiché non sono stati segnalati fori di perforazione storici sulla proprietà.

CRANBROOK, BC / ACCESSWIRE / September 18, 2024 / Eagle Plains Resources (TSXV:EPL) has mobilized personnel to commence fieldwork on its
Snowstorm Geology and Project History
The Snowstorm Property is located within the historic Slocan Mining Camp where active exploration began in the mid-1860s. The camp and surrounding areas contain 173 past producing mines with reported total production in excess of 1,000,000kg of silver (BCGS General File 1997-02 / Klondike Silver Website). The Snowstorm Property is underlain by 6 BC Minfile occurrences, one of which, the White Eagle (Minfile 082KSW126), is covered by an historical Crown Grant.
The current Snowstorm tenures were worked extensively from 1925 -1930 when a series of trenches, shallow shafts, adits and tunnels were established at the Snowstorm (Minfile 082KSW086), Juno (Minfile 082KSW125), Silver Sparrow (Minfile 082KSW143) Lakeview (Minfile 082KSW198) and West Ridge (Minfile 082KSW197) occurrences. Subsequent activity included geological mapping and soil geochemical surveys. The most recent work was reported in 2015 which consisted of a structural analysis of the area.
Mineralization at the Property is associated with quartz-calcite veins hosted in sediments. At the Snowstorm occurrence, a series of veins are exposed by 26 trenches, with the largest vein measuring 1m in width. Historical grab samples of trench material returned up to 572 grams per tonne silver, 2.81 grams per tonne gold, and 22.4 per cent lead (ARIS 18136). The Juno occurrence has been explored by several trenches and a 12m long adit, with a 60cm chip sample of vein material returning 1.4 grams per tonne gold, 600 grams per tonne silver, 29 per cent lead and 29.8 per cent zinc (ARIS 18136). The West Ridge vein has been explored with several trenches and a 15m deep shaft. A selected grab sample of the mineralized vein assayed 1540 grams per tonne silver, 41.1 per cent lead, 16.1 per cent antimony and 1.58 per cent copper (ARIS 18136). The Silver Sparrow occurrence consists of two separate quartz veins approximately 90 metres apart, which have been explored by trenches and a 6m deep inclined shaft. The best grab sample from the vein assayed 27.5 grams per tonne gold, 1083 grams per tonne silver, 56.2 per cent lead and 0.55 per cent zinc (ARIS 18136). At the Lakeview occurrence, two mineralized quartz veins have been exposed by two trenches. A composite sample of vein material taken from the western end of one of the trenches assayed 144 grams per tonne gold, 158 grams per tonne silver, 6.04 per cent lead and 3.47 per cent zinc (ARIS 18136).
Rock grab samples are selective samples by nature and as such are not necessarily representative of the mineralization hosted across the property. The above results were taken directly from MINFILE descriptions and assessment reports (ARIS) filed with the BC government. Management cautions that historical results were collected and reported by past operators and have not been verified nor confirmed by a Qualified Person but form a basis for ongoing work on the subject properties. Management cautions that past results or discoveries on proximate land are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be achieved on the subject propertiesManagement cautions that rock grab samples are selective samples by nature and as such are not necessarily representative of the mineralization hosted across the property.
Though historically explored purely as a high-grade, narrow vein system, Eagle Plains further intends to assess the Snowstorm project for its bulk-tonnage potential. No historical drilling has been reported on the property.
