# Eagle Plains Samples up to 269g/t Au at the Pine Channel Gold Project, Saskatchewan Canonical Atlas analysis: https://atlas-extractions.minestarters.com/news/eagle-plains-samples-up-to-269g-t-au-at-the-pine-channel-gold-project-saskatchew--7fa995e5-e982-4080-a738-004a45739a79 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: 2026-09-13 22:23:29 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 program focused on surface sampling and ground-truthing historical targets, confirming mineralization at several key occurrences. Reasoning: The program returned several high-grade gold grab samples \(up to 269 g/t Au\) confirming historical targets, though the reliance on surface grab sampling limits geological representativeness. - Positive factor: High-grade surface samples - Positive factor: Confirmation of historical high-grade zones - Positive factor: QA/QC disclosed - Negative factor: Surface grab samples are selective and not necessarily representative - Negative factor: Historical data not verified by QP Facts used in scoring: 7 ## Classification and evidence **Bonanza Intercept** Polarity: positive Definition: Exceptionally high-grade zone, well above the deposit-type norm. Why it applies: 269 g/t Au is exceptionally high for an orogenic gold system. Evidence · text > highest value of 269g/t Au **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 analysis by ALS Canada Ltd using fire assay. Evidence · text > analysed by ALS Canada Ltd. using fire assay \(Au\) **Deleterious Elements Present** Polarity: negative Definition: A source-stated penalty, refractory or recovery concern in the fact's scope. Element detection alone, including measured elements explicitly below penalty thresholds, does not trigger this tag. Respect negation and retain a separately stated concern even when another risk is explicitly absent. Why it applies: Antimony and lead reported in Thompson Island Gold sample. Evidence · text > 8.7% Pb and 3.1% Sb ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 7.

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.
