NOV.4 News for EPL.V 'EGPLF' - (Eagle Plains Reports Results on Sprogge Gold Project, Yukon Territory)


Cranbrook, British Columbia CANADA, Nov 04, 2010 (Filing Services Canada via
COMTEX) -- Eagle Plains Resources Ltd. (EPL - TSX Venture)(EGPLF -
OTCBB_Pink_Sheets), has received and compiled analytical results from its 100%
owned Sprogge project, located within the Tintina Gold Belt approximately 35km
southeast of the Cantung Mine, along the Yukon/NWT border. The property lies
15km east of the Nahanni Range Road, and is located 9km east of Northern Tiger
Resources' 3-Aces project. A $200,000 exploration project was conducted on the
claims during the 2010 summer exploration season and yielded the following
encouraging results.

Highlights

* Channel sampling in the Main Zone returned 1.4 g/t Au, 3 g/t Ag and

0.18 % Cu over 11m

Including: 3.04 g/t Au, 4 g/t Ag and 0.22% Cu over 3 m

* Additional Main Zone sampling returned2.07 g/t Au, 1.47 g/t Ag,

0.06% Cu over 7 m

Including: 3.15 g/t Au over 3m

* Channel sampling at the Confluence Zone returned 1.6 g/t Au, 2.4 g/t

Ag over 4 m

* Chip Samples from the Kangas Zone returned up to 2.85 g/t Au. 4.2 g/t

Ag over 1.5 m

* A new gold discovery was made (the Pow Zone), which returned 0.54 g/t

Au, 3.27 g/t Ag over 3m and .88 g/t Au, 2.5 g/t Ag over 1 m. Grab

samples of mineralized vein material returned up to 2.9 g/t Au.

Accessory metals include copper, molybdenum and zinc.

* Historical grab samples from the Confluence Zone reported up to

59.25g/t Au, with historical chip samples from the Main Zone returning

2.38g/t Au over 22.5m

The Sprogge property has the potential to host both high-grade and bulk-tonnage
gold mineralization. Many targets on the property remain to be tested with
further exploration including trenching and diamond drilling. Follow-up
exploration work is strongly recommended for the property.

2010 Program:

The 2010 exploration program consisted of a 207 line km airborne geophysical
survey and a 16 day field program.The focus of the field program was to evaluate
and re-sample the known mineralization occurrences and locate further
mineralization on the property.The purpose of the airborne geophysical survey
was to locate any buried intrusions and major structural features that could be
controlling and influencing mineralization on the property.Channel samples were
taken over the known Main and Confluence zones and chip samples taken over the
Kangas zone.Prospecting and Geological Mapping was completed over areas that had
seen less historic work.

A new mineralized zone was discovered during the program, the Pow Zone.This zone
consists of both a calc-silicate skarn system as well as chalcedonic and quartz
veining with arsenopyrite and pyrhhotite in coarse clastic sediments.On the
margin of this zone is a newly discovered granodiorite plug.It is the first
surficial expression of intrusive activity located in the greater Hyland valley
region.

The airborne geophysical program was successful in identifying some major
structural features that are likely to play a major role in controlling
mineralization on the property.Many areas of magnetic highs from the survey
correlate with known pyrite hornfels zones and some areas of magnetic lows could
represent buried intrusive plugs.

The Sprogge property contains widespread mineralization of different styles and
consistent values of anomalous gold.Sampling from the 2010 program confirmed and
expanded on the historic results of known mineralization, including 1.4 g/t Au
over 11 m at the Main Zone and 2.85 g/t Au and 4.2 g/t Ag over 1.5 m from the
Kangas Zone.New mineralization was located at the Pow Zone, where a new skarn
was found on the margins of an intrusive plug and returned up to 2.4 g/t Au from
the skarn and 2.9 g/t Au from mineralized quartz veins.Another new skarn unit
was also found to the south of the Confluence Zone, returning 83.4 g/t Ag and 9%
Pb-Zn from a subcrop grab sample.

Property Geology

The regional geology of the southeast Yukon is represented by the basement rocks
of the Selwyn Basin, Late Precambrian to Early Cambrian Hyland Group sediments.
Regional mineralization is generally controlled by Mid-Cretaceous Tombstone
Suite quartz monzonite intrusive stocks. The Sprogge Property is underlain by
sedimentary rocks assigned to the Yusezyu Formation. Three distinct styles of
mineralization are documented on the property. These are thought to be a direct
reflection of a long lived, widespread mineralizing event occurring in reactive
calcareous sediments.

Property History

The claim area was first explored in 1964, when the area was staked to cover
skarn and replacement style pyrite, pyrrhotite and chalcopyrite mineralization.
Various operators worked the property sporadically until the late 1980s. Four
holes were drilled in 1987 and returned encouraging, but sub-economic results.
The property was restaked by Bernie Kreft in 1995 and subsequently optioned to
Hemlo Gold, Viceroy Exploration and NovaGold Resources. These companies explored
the property during the late 1990s and conducted geologic mapping, prospecting,
soil sampling, and limited hand trenching. The property was optioned from Kreft
by Eagle Plains in 2002 and subsequently purchased 100% from (subject to a 1%
Net Smelter Royalty) 2005. The 2010 exploration program represents the first
major exploration program undertaken by Eagle Plains Resources since acquiring
the property.
