Eagle Plains Resources ( (TSE:EPL) ) has shared an announcement.

Eagle Plains Resources said partner Refined Energy Corp. has mobilized a ground geophysical crew to the 100%-owned Dufferin West uranium property in Saskatchewan, ahead of a 2026 diamond drilling program. The Dufferin Project lies near the Virgin River Shear Zone and close to notable regional uranium deposits, with prior work indicating prospective unconformity- and basement-hosted mineralization supported by geophysical and geochemical anomalies.

The current time-domain EM program will generate detailed inversion models and three-dimensional Maxwell plates to refine targets for at least three drill holes totalling about 1,200 metres, with concurrent ground gravity surveys to sharpen drill focus. Backed by an approved 2026 budget of roughly $1.7 million and an option structure that could see Refined earn up to 75% in the project through staged cash, share payments and exploration spending, the work program underscores Eagle Plains’ role as operator and positions the Dufferin asset for potential value creation if drilling validates the historical indications of uranium potential.

The most recent analyst rating on (TSE:EPL) stock is a Hold with a C$0.23 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Eagle Plains Resources stock, see the TSE:EPL Stock Forecast page.

Spark’s Take on TSE:EPL Stock

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, TSE:EPL is a Neutral.

The score is driven primarily by solid financial stability from minimal leverage and improving revenue/profitability, tempered by weak cash flow and still-negative operating earnings. Technical trends are supportive, but the high P/E and lack of dividend yield weigh on the overall rating.
