(EPL - TSX Venture),announces that it has signed a definitive option agreement with Clear Creek Resources Ltd. (a private BC corporation with certain directors common to Eagle Plains), whereby Clear Creek may earn an undivided 60% interest in Eagle Plains' 100%-owned Tarku Property located approximately 40km southwest of Cameco/Areva's Centennial uranium deposit in northern Saskatchewan. Under terms of the agreement, Clear Creek will complete exploration expenditures of $5,000,000, make cash payments of $500,000 and issue 1,200,000 common shares to EPL over a five year period.

As announced January 17th, Clear Creek has signed a letter of intent with Ituna Capital Corp. (TSX-V:TUN.P) whereby the parties have structured a three-way amalgamation between Clear Creek, Itnua and its subsidiary, resulting in a Tier-2 listed, publicly-trading reporting issuer with a total of approximately 15M shares outstanding. The transaction is expected to close in March.

Tarku Property Geology

The Tarku property comprises ten mineral claims totaling 45,055 over a large northeast-trending area in northern Saskatchewan. The property is located along the Virgin River Fault, a major structure which demarcates the boundary between the Virgin River and Lloyd Domains. This feature creates a favorable setting for the deposition of significant structurally-related mineral deposits including the Dufferin Lake and Centennial deposits located 10km and 40km north of Tarku, respectively (management cautions that past results or discoveries on proximate land are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be achieved on the Tarku property).

The area is underlain by mixed metasedimentary units, intermediate volcanics and significant felsic intrusive bodies, all of which have been affected by numerous structural events related to re-activation of the Virgin River Fault. Several poorly to well defined northeast trending geophysical conductors, verified locally by geological mapping, have been identified by historic airborne surveys. All of these features, in conjunction with significant gold values up to 2.26 g/t and anomalous base metal and uranium values throughout the property illustrate the exploration potential of this property for both gold and uranium deposits.
