Agreement terms

Under the terms of the agreement, Trident will purchase a 100% interest in the properties for a cash consideration of $14,730, with EPL retaining a 2% Net Smelter royalty on all of claims.

The agreement is a Non-Arm's-Length transaction, as such term is defined in the TSX Venture Exchange's Policy 1.1, and therefore constituted a related party transaction, as such term is defined in Multilateral Instrument 61-101, Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions. Tim Termuende is a director and officer of Eagle Plains, and is also a director of Trident.

In respect of the requirements of MI 61-101 and exchange Policy 5.9, the company relied on the exemptions from the formal valuation and minority approval required under MI 61-101. The company was exempt from the formal valuation requirement of MI 61-101 in reliance of sections 5.5(b) as no securities of the company are listed on the specified markets outlined therein. Additionally, the company was exempt from minority shareholder approval of MI 61-101 in reliance of Section 5.7(1)(a) (fair market value not more than 25 per cent of the company's market capitalization).

In accordance with the exchange Policy 5.3, the agreement constitutes a reviewable transaction, as such transaction involves a non-arm's-length party.

About Eagle Plains Resources

Based in Cranbrook, B.C., Eagle Plains is a well-funded, prolific project generator that continues to conduct research, acquire and explore mineral projects throughout western Canada, with a focus on critical metals integral to an increasingly electrified, decarbonized economy.

The Company was formed in 1992 and is the fourth-oldest listed issuer on the TSX-V (and the only one of these four that has not seen a roll-back or restructuring of its shares). Eagle Plains has continued to deliver shareholder value over the years and through numerous spin outs has transferred over $100,000,000 in value directly to its shareholders, with Copper Canyon Resources and Taiga Gold Corp. being notable examples. Eagle Plains latest spinout, Eagle Royalties Ltd. (CSE:"ER") was listed on May 24, 2023, and holds a diverse portfolio of royalty assets throughout western Canada. On July 02, 2025, ER announced that it had entered into a definitive amalgamation agreement with Summit Royalty Corp. pursuant to which Summit will "go-public" by way of a reverse takeover (RTO) of ER. Eagle Royalties shareholders will receive a consideration of $0.18 per ER share, representing a premium of 47% based on ER's closing price on June 30, 2025 on the Canadian Securities Exchange. Completion of the RTO is subject to a number of conditions, including, but not limited to, Exchange acceptance and required shareholder approvals of ER and Summit. There can be no assurance that the RTO will be completed as proposed or at all.

On October 2, 2024, Eagle Plains announced the formation of a separate division within the Company that will give Eagle Plains' shareholders direct exposure to strategic opportunities in Canadian green energy transition. As a wholly owned subsidiary of Eagle Plains, Osprey Power Inc. ("OP") will focus on identifying and advancing innovative and diverse clean energy project portfolios in target markets throughout Canada, with an initial focus on Western Canada.

Eagle Plains' core business is acquiring grassroots critical- and precious-metal exploration properties. The Company is committed to steadily enhancing shareholder value by advancing our diverse portfolio of projects toward discovery through collaborative partnerships and development of a highly experienced technical team.

Expenditures from 2010-2024 on Eagle Plains-related projects exceed $39M, the majority of which was funded by third-party partners. This exploration work resulted in approximately 50,000m of diamond-drilling and extensive ground-based exploration work facilitating the advancement of numerous projects at various stages of development.

Throughout the exploration process, our mission is to help maintain prosperous communities by exploring for and discovering resource opportunities while building lasting relationships through honest and respectful business practices.

President and CEO
