Beginning in 2005, Eagle Plains Resources Ltd. has carried out regional exploration for Zn-Pb deposits throughout the northern Mackenzie Mountains. During the 2005 to 2007 period a large amount of geological and geochemical data was acquired, compiled and interpreted.

Eagle Plains Resources holds a significant ground position in the northern Mackenzie Mountains consisting of 32 prospecting permits and 7 claim groups. The Bronco Prospecting Permit 7030 was obtained in 2006 and following the discovery of several significant showings during fieldwork that year, Prospecting Permits 7317, 7318, 7319, 7320 were acquired. These permits are located on NTS map sheets 105O15 and 105O16, approximately 230 km southwest of Norman Wells, NWT.

The latest phase of the work on these permits was carried out in 2007 (see project details PDF). Field activities began mid-June and concluded at the end of August. A base camp in the central area of the region was established at Willow Handle Lake, which was supplied by fixed wing aircraft out of Norman Wells.

This property is available for option and represents a project of merit.
