Earthwise completes phase 1 fieldwork at Iron Range

WISE · Price

Executive Summary

  • Earthwise Minerals Corp. has completed Phase 1 of its 2025 field program at the Iron Range gold project in British Columbia, conducted by TerraLogic Exploration Inc.
  • The phase involved extensive sampling and mapping across four key target zones (Pyromorphite, Golden Cap, DIP, and Star West), including 538 soil samples and 15 rock samples.
  • Analytical results are currently pending; however, the release provides significant historical context, including high-grade historical grab samples and past drilling intersections that justify the current exploration focus.

Key Details

  • Phase 1 Field Program Completion:
    • Sampling: 538 soil samples collected over 13.5 line km; 15 rock samples collected.
    • Activities: Structural mapping and prospecting conducted across key target zones.
    • Status: Samples submitted for analysis; results to be released once compiled and interpreted.
  • Target Zone Details & Historical Data:
    • Pyromorphite Zone:
      • Discovered in 2009 via road construction exposing sheared/brecciated sediments.
      • Historical grab sample SK10-207: 27.0 g/t Au, 173.0 g/t Ag, 13.4% Pb.
      • Historical grab sample MK10-170: 54.7 g/t Au, 42.2 g/t Ag, 2.8% Pb.
    • Golden Cap:
      • 2025 sampling designed to test cross-fault intersections along the main Iron Range fault zone.
      • Historical soil sampling by Eagle Plains returned values up to 230 ppb Au.
    • DIP Zone:
      • Soil sampling conducted over an area with a historical multielement soil geochemical anomaly previously unanalyzed for gold.
    • Star West:
      • Soil sampling conducted over an area with a historical multielement soil geochemical anomaly previously unanalyzed for gold.
  • Historic Drilling Context:
    • Talon Zone (2010): Drill hole IR10-010 intersected:
      • 14.0 m grading 5.1 g/t Au, 1.86% Pb, 2.1% Zn, 75.3 g/t Ag.
      • 7.1 m grading 8.13 g/t Au, 2.84% Pb, 3.07% Zn, 86.6 g/t Ag.
    • North of Talon (2008): Drill hole IR08006 intersected 7.0 m grading 51.52 g/t Au (1.50 oz/t).
  • Project Ownership & Terms:
    • Earthwise holds an exclusive option to acquire up to an 80% interest in the Iron Range gold project.
    • Project is 100% owned by Eagle Plains Resources Ltd.
    • Subject to an underlying 1.0% Net Smelter Return (NSR) royalty.
  • Project Infrastructure & Permitting:
    • Located near Creston, B.C., covering 21,437 hectares (10 km x 32 km).
    • Fully permitted under a multiyear area-based (MYAB) permit allowing geophysical surveys, trenching, trail construction, and diamond drilling.
    • Access via well-developed transportation/power corridor (high-pressure gas pipeline, high-voltage hydroelectric line, CPR mainline, Highway 3).
    • Efficient access to Teck’s smelter in Trail, B.C. via rail.
  • Historical Exploration Summary (Since 2001):
    • 21,593 m of diamond drilling in 87 holes.
    • 2,482 line km of airborne and surface geophysical surveys.
    • 10,053 soil geochemical samples.
    • 495 rock samples.
    • 6,955 drill core samples.
