There are also a number of active gold placer mining operations established on drainages in the MPW property area.

Eagle Royalties' management cautions that past results or discoveries on proximate land are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be achieved on the MPW property.

Property Geology and History

The property is underlain by Nicola Group sedimentary and volcanic rocks. The MPW tenures cover ten BC Minfile occurrences consisting of copper bearing minerals hosted in basaltic and volcanic rocks.

In response to the discovery of the Mount Polley deposit in 1964, exploration work increased in the region as other copper porphyry deposits were sought out. In the mid-1960's, a host of companies conducted a series of geophysical surveys and soil sampling programs. After a period of relative quiescence, exploration work increased in intensity in the early 1980's. A number of operators completing soil sampling programs, rock sampling campaigns, and geophysical surveying into the 1990's. During this period, several copper occurrences were discovered on the MPW property. Exploration in the 2000's and 2010's has been comparatively more subdued with mainly smaller soil sampling and geological mapping programs. There has been limited shallow drill testing completed within the current MPW project area.

Work by Eagle Plains

After acquiring the core MPW claims, Eagle Plains Resources completed geological mapping and soil and rock geochemical sampling on the property. 2022 work confirmed copper mineralization, interpreted to be indicative of a deeper porphyry copper source. 2023 work consisted of wide spaced till sampling, with results pending.
