- Eagle Plains Resources (TSXV:EPL) discovered gold, silver and copper mineralization associated with a remote sensing anomaly on its Orbit Project in BC, yielding up to 3.8 grams per ton (g/t) gold, 130 g/t silver and 0.964 per cent copper.
- The mineral project generator has spun out companies valued at more than C$115 million since inception in 1992, including Copper Canyon Resources, Taiga Gold and Eagle Royalties.
- Eagle Plains Resources stock has added 75 per cent year-over-year and 23.53 per cent since 2021.
After only one day of field work in 2025, Eagle Plains Resources (TSXV:EPL) discovered gold, silver and copper mineralization associated with a remote sensing anomaly on its 49-per-cent-owned Orbit Project, located in the Toodoggone District of BC, yielding up to 3.8 grams per ton (g/t) gold, 130 g/t silver and 0.964 per cent copper.
The 39 samples collected, part of a reconnaissance program on the 6,595-hectare project, delivered strong alteration and mineralization across 300 metres in the Calypso Zone, sampling less than 5 per cent of the anomaly, which shows evidence for typical indicators of porphyry mineralization.
According to Thursday’s news release, the company believes its program is the first geologic investigation of the property, which touches on both the Quesnellia and Stikinia terranes, where many of BC’s producing and past-producing porphyry deposits are found.
Orbit was identified thanks to remote sensing data evaluating Eagle Plains’ Theory Project, located 14 kilometres to the west and currently under option to Sun Summit Minerals (TSXV:SMN), which owns 51 per cent of Orbit and co-funded the program reported on today.
Eagle Plains now holds ownership rights and net smelter royalty interests in more than 17,000 hectares in the Toodoggone District in north-central BC, one of the province’s most underexplored and resource-rich regions, which is home to the past-producing Kemess Mine owned by Centerra Gold (TSX:CG), the Joy Project, co-owned by Freeport-McMoRan (NYSE:FCX) and Amarc Resources (TSXV:AHR), as well as the Lawyers-Ranch gold-silver project owned by Thesis Gold (TSXV:TAU).
Eagle Plains is planning a follow-up exploration program at Orbit in 2026 in conjunction with its Theory and JD projects.
Leadership commentary
“The identification of widespread mineralization and alteration at Orbit have us excited to continue exploration this summer,” Jesse Campbell, Vice President of Exploration at Eagle Plains Resources, said in a statement. “The traverse that found Calypso ended in mineralization and there are high-priority targets that have yet to be prospected. We’re also encouraged that the tenor of mineralization is consistent with several of the known, bulk-tonnage deposits of the region. 2025 was an exceptional year for Eagle Plains with the discoveries of the Saboteur Zone at the Theory Project and the Calypso Zone at Orbit. In this modern exploration era, it’s becoming rarer to make a significant grassroots discovery, so we are very proud of our team to do it twice in just a single season.”
