Eagle Plains/Greywacke Complete Acquisition, Royalty Agreement in LaRonge Gold Belt, Saskatchewan Area

Saskatchewan |

Cranbrook, B.C., 18 June, 2105: Eagle Plains Resources Ltd (TSX-V:EPL) and Greywacke Exploration Ltd. (TSX-V:GWL) have completed an agreement whereby Greywacke will acquire a 100% interest in certain mineral claims in the LaRonge Gold Belt area, located 70km northeast of LaRonge, Saskatchewan. The claims comprise approximately 10,700 ha and are in part, contiguous with Greywacke’s existing holdings in the area.

By property purchase agreement dated June 15th, 2015, Greywacke will acquire 20 mineral claims from Eagle Plains by issuing 700,000 common shares upon regulatory approval.  These claims are subject to a 2.5% NSR payable to EPL.  Greywacke may, at any time purchase 1.5% of the NSR for $1.05 million.

The acquisition makes the Greywacke one of the largest landholders in this highly prospective region.  The properties cover the extension of the “Wacke Trend”, a known gold bearing assemblage of volcaniclastic rocks. Although very little work has been carried out along this highly prospective trend, a recent airborne survey along with geological reconnaissance has identified the Wacke Trend over a strike length in excess of 40 kilometers. The project area is contiguous to the LaRonge South Gold Joint Venture property hosting the Greywacke Deposit, currently under development. Management cautions that past results or discoveries on proximate land are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be achieved on the Carter Lake property.
