News - Sept. 14 Eagle Plains Commence Exploration Program on Elsiar Copper-Gold Project

News for EPL.V 'EGPLF' - (Eagle Plains Commence Exploration Program on Elsiar Copper-Gold Project, West-Central B.C.)


Cranbrook, British Columbia CANADA, Sep 14, 2010 (Filing Services Canada via
COMTEX) -- Eagle Plains Resources Ltd. (EPL - TSX Venture)(EGPLF -
OTCBB_Pink_Sheets), and 0802906 BC Ltd. (a private B.C. corporation) have
commenced a $100,000 exploration program on the Elsiar copper-gold-moly
property. Crews are now on route to the property area to commence geological
mapping and soil geochemical sampling work. 0802906 may earn a 60% interest in
the property by making exploration expenditures of $3,000,000 and completing
payments of 1,000,000 shares and $250,000 cash by the fourth anniversary of the
Agreement.

The Elsiar property is located 40km north of Terrace, B.C. and is held 100% by
EPL (subject to a 1% NSR). The project area has seen little historical activity
and was acquired by Eagle Plains in 2003 due to the presence of numerous strong
multi-element geochemical signatures in stream sediments. The property benefits
from excellent infrastructure including logging roads, hydroelectric power lines
and close proximity to rail and deep-water international ports in Kitimat and
Prince Rupert.

After acquisition by Eagle Plains, the property was subsequently optioned to
Northern Continental Resources which carried out approximately $1,000,000 in
exploration work during 2004 and 2005, including an airborne geophysical survey
and 20-hole, 7900' (2,400m) drilling program. Sandstorm Resources optioned the
property in 2008 and completed geological mapping and soil geochemical surveys.

The property hosts widespread mineralization in surface occurrences over a 3.5
sq. km. area. Both surface and drill hole data suggest the presence of a
well-developed copper-gold-molybdenum porphyry system with high-grade Au
mineralization present in shears and veins.The 2005 drill program intersected
high-grade Au mineralization with values ranging from trace quantities to up to
14.0g/T Au over 1.0m (DDH LC05018). Molybdenum mineralization was encountered in
most holes, with assay values ranging from trace quantities to .01% Mo over 50.0
m, including 0.4% Mo over 6.0m (DDH LCO5016). Cu mineralization ranged from
trace quantities to 0.43% Cu over 6.1m (DDH LC04001). Additional broad areas
containing anomalous soil geochemical results were delineated during 2008 work,
with soil sample values ranging from trace values up to 31.9 g/t Au.
