CGC Inc to Commence Drilling on Eagle Plains’ Coyote Creek Property

Cranbrook, B.C., 28 May, 2007: Crews and equipment have been mobilized to the Coyote Creek gypsum project located in the Coyote Creek/Lussier River area 50km NE of Cranbrook, BC.  As announced October 19th, 2006, CGC Inc. has agreed to purchase a 100% interest in the property, and is in the process of completing their due diligence work. The transaction is expected to close on October 2nd, 2007.

The property consists of 1300 hectares acquired by Eagle Plains in 2001 by staking,  and holds no underlying royalties or encumbrances. The property is road-accessible with hydro-electric power and rail transportation located 24 km by existing road from property boundaries. The claims cover numerous gypsum occurrences hosted within the Burnais Formation.

In late fall, 2006, CGC carried out a 3,642 ft (1,110m), 24 hole program on the property, confirming the presence of high-quality gypsum material over significant widths. The 2007 drill program will be a continuation of this work. The current drill program is expected to take 10 days to 2 weeks to complete, and will consist of approximately 2,500 feet (762m) in 15-20 holes. The program will be funded by CGC and operated by Eagle Plains. Aggressive Diamond Drilling Ltd. of Kelowna, B.C. is the drilling contractor. Project Supervision will be the responsibility of Jim Ryley, P.Geo.- Exploration Manager of Eagle Plains.
