Iron Range Project Summary

The Iron Range deposits were originally staked in 1897, and were covered by
Crown grants held by Cominco Ltd. and the Canadian Pacific Railway. Eagle Plains
Resources Ltd. ("Eagle Plains") staked the current claims immediately after the
Crown grants reverted in 2000, and has been exploring the property since then.
Exploration work to date includes geological mapping, geochemical surveys,
diamond drilling and a 690-line-kilometre airborne geophysical survey.


The Iron Range project is owned 100 per cent by Eagle Plains and holds no
underlying royalties or encumbrances. An additional 35,800 hectares of claims
were added to the original land package, resulting in a total of 56,200 hectares
-- an area approximately 11 km by 50 km. The land package now covers over 30 km
of the Iron Range structure, most of it unexplored. The claims also overlie
rocks of the Aldridge formation, including the same stratigraphic time horizon
that hosts the world-class Sullivan deposit located 70 km to the northeast. Over
its 100-year lifetime, Sullivan produced approximately 150 million tonnes of ore
including three billion ounces of silver, eight million tonnes of zinc and eight
million tonnes of lead, collectively worth over $30-billion at current metal
prices. The parties caution that past results or discoveries on proximate land
are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be achieved on the Iron
Range property.


Providence Option Agreement

The Iron Range project is owned 100% by Eagle Plains and holds no underlying
royalties or encumbrances. Providence holds the option to earn a 60% interest in
the Property by spending $3,000,000 on exploration, making $500,000 in cash
payments and issuing 1,000,000 shares to EPL over 4 years.
