August 9, 2011 - News for 'EPL.V/EGPLF' - Eagle Plains/Blackrock Commence Geophysical Survey on Elsiar
Copper-Gold Project, West-Central B.C.



Cranbrook, British Columbia CANADA, Aug 09, 2011 (Filing Services Canada via
COMTEX) -- Eagle Plains Resources Ltd. (EPL - TSX Venture, EGPLF - OTC
Pink),reports that Blackrock Resources Ltd. (a private B.C. corporation) has
commenced a $200,000 exploration program on the Elsiar copper-gold-moly
property. Crews are now in place on the property and line-cutting and
geophysical surveying (magnetometer and induced polarization "I.P.") is
currently underway. A total of 18 line-km of survey work is planned for the
property and will be followed up by prospecting and geological mapping. Drill
targets for future exploration are expected to be generated by this season's
work.

2011 fieldwork is directed and funded by Blackrock, which 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 2014.

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 based on 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.

The property hosts widespread mineralization in surface occurrences over a 3.5
sq. km. area. Both surface and drillhole data suggest the presence of a
well-developed copper-gold-molybdenum porphyry system with high-grade Au
mineralization present in shears and veins. A 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.

Fieldwork is being conducted by TerraLogic Exploration Ltd. of Cranbrook, BC, a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Eagle Plains.
