Providence Resources Corp. (TSX VENTURE:PV) and Eagle Plains
Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:EPL) have received analytical
results from the Iron Range drill program in southeastern British
Columbia. Results are from the Talon Zone in which significant gold
and base-metal mineralization was reported in Hole IR10-010 by
Eagle Plains/Providence (see news release Dec 21, 2010).
Results are as follows:

IR11-015 intersected an additional zone of mineralization 170m
below that reported on March 28, 2011. This zone appears to
correlate with a southern extension of the mineralization at depth
in IR11-011. Drilling direction does not allow for an estimate of
true width.
IR11-017, from a similar collar location as IR11-015, was
drilled on a westerly azimuth within the oxide zone. This intercept
appears to approximate a true width within the oxide zone.
Drill holes IR11-021 and IR11-023 were drilled at 140° and 330°,
respectively, to cross the mineralized structure. Both holes
intersected weak mineralization inferred to lie above the elevation
range noted to host the most well developed mineralization. The
IR11-021 intercept is inferred to have a true thickness of
approximately 6.0 metres, consistent with narrowing at higher
levels. IR11-023 generated insignificant results.
IR11-025 encountered near surface mineralization in proximity to
the upper mineralized zone previously announced for IR11-015.
Additional drilling is required to determine the actual thickness
of the zone.
IR11-026 crossed a section of pervasive silicic and sericitic
alteration variably hosting disseminated to locally net-textured
sulphide and minor sulphosalts. This intercept is interpreted to
lie within a steep west dipping alteration zone. The limited
drilling through this zone places a preliminary estimate of actual
thickness at 30 metres.
Drill holes IR11-027, 028, and 029 have since been completed and
are currently being logged and sampled.
The partners have elected to suspend drilling operations within
the Talon Zone during spring break-up. This timeframe will be used
to compile structural, lithological, and analytical data to aid in
delineating the apparent offset of precious and base metal
mineralization encountered in a number of the drill holes. A
geophysical survey may be employed to discern zones of conductivity
and resistivity.
Drill targets to the south, northwest, and northeast of the
Talon Zone are currently being analyzed and planned for. To the
northwest, the Sullivan horizon (LMC) will be tested for SEDEX
mineralization within a group of upper elevated Pb, Zn, and As soil
anomalies. This location lies proximal to the western flank of the
structural graben, approximately 600 meters to the west of the
Talon zone.
The LMC east of the Talon Zone underlies elevated base metal
geochemistry over a near continuous distance of 1.5km. Drilling is
planned to target this expression. Additional drill targets to the
north and south utilizing airborne magnetic and conductivity
signatures with coincident soil geochemistry are currently being
detailed as target areas.
Analytical Details and QAQC
QAQC: Blank material, standard grade base metal and precious
metal standards, and high grade standards were routinely introduced
into the sample chain of custody for analysis. Statistical analysis
of the QAQC data was completed for Au, Pb, Zn and Ag and the
results are consistent with all analytic procedures completed by
Acme Analytical Labs Ltd. being within acceptable parameters.

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 staked the current claims immediately
after the Crown Grants reverted in 2000, and have 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 existing land package, resulting in a
total of 56,200 ha -- 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
which hosts the world-class Sullivan deposit located 70km to the
northeast. Over its 100 year lifetime, Sullivan produced
approximately 150,000,000 tonnes of ore including 300,000,000
ounces of silver, 8,000,000 tonnes of zinc and 8,000,000 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.
