Eagle Plains Resources Ltd. announced that it has recently received and interpreted final assays and geophysical data from the $400,000 2016 exploration program funded by Silver Standard Resources Inc. on company's 100%-owned Fisher project located 125 km east of La Ronge, Saskatchewan and contiguous to the north, south and east with Silver Standard's Seabee Gold Operation. Fieldwork for 2016 included a 3,590 line-km airborne geophysical survey, geological mapping, trenching and till and soil geochemical surveys designed to define high-grade gold targets for upcoming drilling activity. Highlights: Two new showings discovered at the George Lake Grid: Mineralization at the un-drilled BC-trench returned up to 143 g/t Au (grab) and 30.1 g/t Au over 30cm (chip); and the new King Fisher showing returned 1.4 g/t Au in quartz vein grab sample. Footprint Grid: 2016 resampling of historical trench returned 11.6 g/t Au Follow-up prospecting of soil geochemical anomaly led to discovery of new vein system with grab sample result of 19.4 g/t Au. Kettle Falls Grid: 32 soil samples returned over 95th percentile Au with best to 2,300 ppb Au. Soil results and three 2016 anomalous grab samples (2.6 g/t, 1.5 g/t, and 0.6 g/t Au) extend the known strike-length of the Fisher mineralized zone to over 1,100 meters. Spark Lake/Santoy Extension: a 47-sample till survey covering the southeastern strike-extension of the Santoy mine fault has identified a 5 sample-cluster anomaly Other significant results verified at historical showings in 2016, include: 15.2 g/t Au (George Lake Showing); 13.4 g/t Au (WEK Showing); and 4.1 g/t Au.
