# Eagle Plains Samples up to 269g/t Au at the Pine Channel Gold Project, Saskatchewan Canonical Atlas analysis: https://atlas-staging.minestarters.com/news/eagle-plains-samples-up-to-269g-t-au-at-the-pine-channel-gold-project-saskatchew--01372d8b-ca28-4c72-9b55-7e9f273c723b Original source: https://money.tmx.com/en/quote/EPL/news/6226375663142246/eagle-plains-samples-up-to-269g-t-au-at-the-pine-channel-gold-project-saskatchew Publisher: tmx Original announcement: 2026-08-17T11:00:00.000Z Analysis by Minestarters Atlas Atlas analysis published: Unknown date Atlas analysis updated: Unknown date - Company: Eagle Plains Resources Ltd. - Ticker: EPL - Exchange: TSX - Region: Saskatchewan - Primary commodity: Gold - Secondary commodities: Silver, Lead, Antimony, Nickel, Copper - Document categories: Drill results, Other - Extracted: 2026-08-21 10:22:10 UTC Narrative sentiment: 0.60 · Bullish ## Minestarters Atlas summary Eagle Plains Resources reported 2026 field program results from the Pine Channel Gold Project, featuring high-grade gold grab samples up to 269 g/t Au. The sampling confirmed several historical high-grade targets across multiple occurrences, including Algold Bay and North Norite Bay. Reasoning: The program confirmed high-grade gold \(up to 269 g/t Au\) via surface sampling, supporting historical targets, though the reliance on grab samples limits geological representativeness. - Positive factor: High-grade gold grab samples - Positive factor: Confirmation of historical high-grade zones - Positive factor: QA/QC disclosed - Negative factor: Results are primarily grab samples \(selective/not representative\) - Negative factor: Historical data not verified by QP Facts used in scoring: 8 ## Classification and evidence **QA/QC Disclosed** Polarity: positive Definition: Release includes QA/QC disclosure — certified lab, QP sign-off, or stated methods \(blanks, standards, duplicates\). Why it applies: Release mentions samples were analysed by ALS Canada Ltd. using fire assay and multi-element characterization. Evidence · text > The samples were analysed by ALS Canada Ltd. using fire assay \(Au\) and multi-element characterization. **Bonanza Intercept** Polarity: positive Definition: Exceptionally high-grade zone, well above the deposit-type norm. Why it applies: Grab sample returned 269 g/t Au, which is exceptionally high. Evidence · text > highest value of 269g/t Au \(grab sample\) ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 8. Some facts used in scoring do not have a stored record. ## Drill Results (8) ### LUPCR003 [Link to this fact](https://atlas-staging.minestarters.com/news/eagle-plains-samples-up-to-269g-t-au-at-the-pine-channel-gold-project-saskatchew--01372d8b-ca28-4c72-9b55-7e9f273c723b#fact-drill-facts-0) Pine Channel Gold Project · gold Historical result Needs review: historical\_restatement #### Identity - Hole ID: LUPCR003 - Project: Pine Channel Gold Project - Commodity: gold - Region: canada\_sk - Reported Region: Saskatchewan - Ticker: EPL #### Geometry - Grade: 269 - Grade Unit: g/t #### Classification - Sample Type: surface #### QA/QC - Laboratory: ALS Canada Ltd. - QA/QC Disclosed: Yes - QP Signed: Yes #### Review - Needs Review: Yes - Review Reason: historical\_restatement - Interp.

Sentiment reflects the extracted narrative and classification rules; it is an interpretation, not a reported measurement. Evidence quotes and context are provided where available. Missing data, low-confidence results, and review flags indicate limitations. Check the original publisher announcement before relying on an interpretation.
