Eagle Plains Resources reports mobilized field crews to begin work on its 100% owned Eagle Lake uranium project, central Saskatchewan, Canada.

Exploration in the area now covered by the Eagle Lake property by Great Plains between 1969 and 1971 reportedly identified a float boulder train 1.5 kilometers in length. Historical records document that four boulders collected from the float train assayed 0.19, 0.32, 0.56, and 0.50% U3O8 (note these are historical results and cannot be confirmed by EPL). The boulders were collected from an area adjacent to a prominent north-south trending fault structure visible on government aeromagnetic surveys. Great Plains reported high radon gas values from both water and soil samples collected near the uraniferous boulder train. Notably, the bedrock source for these float boulders was not located.
