About the Findlay Project

Eagle Plains and Amaroq Gold Corp. ("Amaroq") have amended the option agreement on EPL's 100% owned Findlay Project (the "Property") (see EPL NR May 08, 2023). The due date on certain cash payments and exploration expenditures on the Property have been extended an additional year to June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2025, respectively. In consideration of the extension, Amaroq has issued an additional 200,000 common shares to Eagle Plains.

The Findlay Project overlies Aldridge Formation stratigraphy, considered prospective for sedimentary-exhalative ("sedex") deposits. Structurally, this area has been identified as an extension of the North Star-Sullivan corridor which hosts the world-class Sullivan critical metals deposit located 35km to the southeast. Over its 100+ year lifetime, Sullivan contained a total of 160 million tonnes of ore averaging 6.5% lead, 5.6% zinc and 67 g/t silver, resulting in 298 million ounces of silver, 18.5 billion pounds of lead, 17.5 billion pounds of zinc and significant quantities of associated metals; collectively worth over $40B at current metal prices.

In 2023, PJX Resources Inc. discovered high-grade sediment hosted "Sullivan style" zinc, lead and silver mineralization on their Dewdney Trail Property, located approximately 40 km SE of the Findlay Project. The mineralization is thought to occur at the same stratigraphic horizon as the historical Kootenay King Mine, a stratiform, Aldridge-hosted lead-zinc deposit. PJX recently announced plans to drill test the Dewdney Trail mineralization in 2024.

The Findlay property displays Sullivan-style exhalative tourmalinite (boron) horizons, massive fragmental sections, anomalous lead, zinc, and indicator geochemistry, and base-metal occurrences. This "Sullivan smoke" occurs throughout the Lower to Upper Aldridge formation and indicates the potential for Sullivan-style mineralization at multiple stratigraphic levels. The correlative "Kootenay King" stratigraphy at the Findlay is marked by anomalous multi-element Sullivan type geochemical soil anomalies, extensive tourmalinite alteration and untested EM-VLF geophysical anomalies. The Mid Fork area of the property also exhibits many of the geological features associated with the Sullivan deposit including extensive, thick fragmental lithologies, and discordant structures marked by a gabbro arch, both occurring near the Lower-Middle Aldridge contact (LMC), the stratigraphic horizon that hosts the Sullivan deposit. A 2013 AMT survey in the Mid fork basin located a deep low resistivity response, which has not been drill tested.

Information regarding PJX and the Dewdney Trail property is taken from the PJX Resources Inc. website. Management cautions that past results or discoveries on proximate land are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be achieved on the Findlay property.
