Eagle Plains Reports up to 427g/t Au at the Pine Channel Gold Project, SaskatchewanCRANBROOK, BRITISH COLUMBIA / ACCESS Newswire / January 15, 2026 / Eagle Plains Resources Ltd. (TSXV:EPL)(OTCQB:EGPLF) ("EPL" or "Eagle Plains") is pleased to announce results from the 2025 field program at Eagle Plains' 100% owned Pine Channel Property, located approximately 40km km west of Stoney Rapids, Saskatchewan. The property is subject to a 2% NSR held by Summit Royalties, which includes a 1% buy-back clause to Eagle Plains. The focus of the 6-day field program was to follow-up on encouraging field results from 2020, with refined targeting provided by the compilation and interpretation of airborne magnetic and LIDAR results obtained in 2022 and 2024. A total of 64 rock samples were collected in 2025. Analytical results ranged from trace values to a highest value of 427g/t Au (grab sample), with eleven samples returning over 3 g/t Au, including 4 samples over 34 g/t Au. Sampling of targets identified through lineament analyses in the areas of known mineralization confirm the potential for additional gold bearing structures. The program was managed by TerraLogic Exploration Inc. of Cranbrook, BC.The highest-grade mineralization is concentrated at the Pit and ELA occurrences, where sampling returned bonanza gold grades (up to 427 g/t Au) with consistently anomalous silver (up to 111 g/t Ag), and associated pathfinder elements arsenic and antimony."The Pine Channel project has exceptional endowment of gold and silver mineralization in multiple zones throughout the property.", commented Jesse Campbell, Vice President of Exploration for Eagle Plains. "The bonanza grade gold mineralization sampled in 2025, combined with historically documented results, greatly increases our confidence that Pine Channel is an important precious metal prospect within the Eagle Plains generative portfolio. A permit application, which could enable drilling as early as Q2 2026, has been initiated and a comprehensive interpretation of project data is underway. 2026 is shaping up to be one of the most active years in company history with programs being considered at over 25 different projects including approved drill programs at George Lake and Dufferin West in Q1. With a strong treasury and a tail-wind of strong commodity prices, our management team couldn't be more excited for the year ahead."2025 HighlightsSee Pine Channel 2025 Exploration Results MapPit Occurrence and no. 10 showing Area (SMDI 1581, 2177)Rock sampling from historical trenches at the Pit Occurrence confirmed the presence of three NW-trending high grade gold bearing veins. Two 2025 grab samples from the central Pit vein (samples THPCR024 and THPCR025) returned 427 g/t Au, and 109 g/t Au, respectively, with silver to 111 g/t Ag. Three grab samples from the West Pit vein, located 70m west of the central vein, returned 34 g/t Au, 4.3 g/t Au, and 18.8 g/t Au. (samples THPCR022, THCPR021, THPCR023, respectively). Historical trenches on the east Pit vein, located 100m east of the central vein, were relocated in 2025. A grab sample by Eagle Plains on this vein in 2020 returned 1.9 g/t Au (PHPCR007).During the 2025 prospecting program, an additional set of previously undocumented NW-aligned trench-pits were located 375m SW of the main Pit vein. A grab sample of quartz vein rubble from one of the pits returned 6.7 g/t Au. (sample BRPCR011).ELA & no.5 showings (SMDI 1574,2174)The Ela showing is a NW-tending vein exposed in a series of trenches over a strike length of 325m. The emphasis in 2025 was to assess along-strike and off-axis potential for additional mineralized vein systems. MHPCR028, a grab sample of subcrop vein material with 10% visible sulphides, was collected 55m east of the main vein, along a probable parallel vein system and returned 12.2 g/t Au. A 2025 grab sample from an 80cm width exposure of the main Ela vein returned 34.7 g/t Au (NHPCR012).Algold Bay (SMDI 1575 & 1578)The main NNW-trending Algold vein is exposed in a series of historical trench pits over a strike length of approximately 150m. The vein is 30-40 cm wide with abundant arsenopyrite and pyrite. Two samples along the vein returned values of 8.2 g/t Au (MHPCR023) and 5.3 g/t Au (MHPCR024). An off-axis grab sample (MHPCR022: 408 ppb Au), collected 65m west of the main vein, suggests the potential for additional mineralized structures at the showing.Comprehensive data interpretation and analyses is underway to define and prioritize targets for diamond drill testing.See Pine Channel Project Information and Map hereAbout the Pine Channel Gold ProjectThe Pine Channel Property consists of 29 mineral dispositions covering 6,519 hectares located approximately 40 km west of Stony Rapids, Saskatchewan which is the logistics/business hub for northern Saskatchewan.
