CRANBROOK, BC / ACCESS Newswire / February 24, 2025 / Eagle Royalties Ltd. (CSE:ER), or "Eagle Royalties")) has recently learned of encouraging drill hole intercepts from the Airstrip Deposit at Banyan Gold Corp.'s AurMac project in central Yukon (see Feb 19th BYN news release here). Eagle Royalties holds a 2% royalty (with no buy-down provision) on mineral claims overlying the area of recently reported drilling. Eagle Royalties holds royalty interests ranging from 0.5% to 2% (with no buy-down provision) on numerous claims located within an inferred resource area as defined by Banyan.

The above technical information relating to drill collar location and analytical results have been taken directly from the Banyan Gold news release dated February 19th, 2025. More detailed drilling information, analytical procedures and results are available in the full news release issued by Banyan. Eagle Royalties management believes that although the reported true thickness estimates and drill collar location coordinates are accurate, it cautions that ER does not have detailed geological data or final surveyed locations of the drill hole traces in relation to the claims that are underlain by the ER royalty interests.
As reported by Banyan, the company initiated its 2024 exploration program on June 1 2024, and has completed 118 drill-holes and over 21,000 m of drilling within the Powerline and Airstrip deposit areas.
On September 16th 2024 Banyan reported test recoveries of 93% in samples at Powerline and 90% at Airstrip using multiple conventional mill processing options including gravity recovery in combination with Carbon in Leach ("CIL")/Carbon in Pulp ("CIP") processes, and that work is ongoing for flotation-leach (see complete BYN news release here).
