VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESS Newswire / May 11, 2026 / Earthwise Minerals Corp. (CSE:WISE)(FSE:966)(OTCQB:EWISF) ("Earthwise" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that diamond drilling has commenced at the Talon Zone of the Iron Range Gold Project in southeastern British Columbia, where it holds an option to earn up to an 80% interest from Eagle Plains Resources Ltd. (TSXV:EPL)(OTCQB:EGPLF) ("EPL" or "Eagle Plains").
The Phase I drill program is designed to define and expand mineralization from the high-grade core of the Talon system toward a priority geophysical Induced Polarization (IP) target along a down-plunge trend. Drilling will infill the strongest historical intercepts to refine the geometry and continuity of the Talon mineralized system, culminating in a targeted test of a coincident resistivity-conductivity IP geophysical anomaly interpreted to represent a potential extension of the mineralized corridor.
Program Highlights:
-
Drilling now underway at the Talon Zone, Iron Range Gold Project.
-
Three diamond drill holes planned for approximately 1,200 metres.
-
Systematic drilling designed to refine the geometry and continuity of the Talon mineralized system.
-
Final hole to test a down-plunge extension toward a strong, untested area of the IP geophysical anomaly associated with historically defined mineralization at the Talon Zone.
-
Program anchored by high-grade historical intercepts, including 56.5 m @ 1.9 g/t Au.
-
Fully permitted project with excellent road access and established infrastructure.
Drill Program Overview
The 2026 drill program consists of approximately 1,200 metres of diamond drilling across three holes designed to systematically advance the Talon Zone.
The initial two holes are designed to cross-cut the mineralized structure to better constrain the true thickness, orientation, and continuity of the Talon system. Mineralization is interpreted to be structurally controlled and associated with steeply dipping shear zones.
The third hole will test a down-plunge extension of the system along a southwest-trending vector, targeting a zone of stronger IP geophysical response. This hole represents the primary expansion test of the program and is designed to evaluate whether the Talon system strengthens or expands along this interpreted trend.
Drill targeting is based on the integration of historical drilling, geophysical datasets, and updated structural interpretation.
