Eminent Gold Corp. Initiates Major Drilling Campaign at Hot Springs Range Project

Eminent Gold Corp., trading under TSXV: EMNT, OTCQB: EMGDF, and FSE: 7AB, has recently publicized an exciting milestone in their operational pursuits—the signing of a drilling contract with Alford Drilling LLC, a reputable drilling firm based in Nevada. This collaboration aims to conduct an extensive reverse circulation (RC) drilling program at the Otis target within the Hot Springs Range Project (HSRP). The ambitious project will cover a minimum of 5,000 meters and could extend up to 10,000 meters in depth, commencing around April 15, 2026.

The Hot Springs Range Project, strategically situated about 15 kilometers northwest of the renowned Getchell Trend, is noted for hosting high-grade Carlin-style gold deposits. This region is home to established operations like Turquoise Ridge and Twin Creeks, making it a hotspot for mineral exploration. The drilling initiative focuses on not just continuing the exploration of existing mineralization encountered in previous drilling but also unlocking new, previously untested areas in the vicinity.

Optimizing Drilling Strategy

Employing RC drilling as a method allows Eminent Gold Corp. to achieve faster results while maintaining cost-effectiveness per meter compared to conventional core drilling techniques. A hallmark of this operation is the incorporation of the photon assaying technique, which promises quicker assay reporting and a more environmentally-friendly approach compared to traditional fire assays.

The forthcoming drilling campaign draws upon past exploration successes, most notably the recent significant intercept reported from hole HSC005, which yielded 9.2 meters grading 3.2 grams per tonne (g/t) gold. This find, along with positive shaker leach test results indicating oxide mineralization, marks a crucial step forward in the project’s development and justifies an expanded drilling program aimed at potentially defining an economically viable oxide resource.

Dan McCoy, President and CEO of Eminent Gold, expressed his enthusiasm about this drill program, stating, “We are very excited to commence this discovery-expansion RC drill program at Otis. Not only will it build on our recent breakthrough intercepts, but we will also get to test nearby fault intersections that are similar in orientation to gold-bearing fault intersections at the nearby Getchell Trend.”

Eminent Gold Corp. is currently well-positioned financially to propel this drilling effort and is also looking into the scaling of exploration programs throughout 2026. Future plans include additional exploration drilling at the HSRP Eden target, located along an anomalous corridor with a striking 3-kilometer gold geochemistry signature and the initiation of drilling at the Celts Project in the prolific Walker Lane trend.

Quality Assurance and Technical Oversight

To ensure data integrity and accuracy, all samples from previous drilling were assayed by Paragon Geochemical in Reno, Nevada, using a blend of methodologies including fire assays and shaker leach tests. The results from both methods were found to be comparable, supporting the reliability of the findings.

The scientific and technical information featured in this announcement has been reviewed by Michael Dufresne, P.Geo., an Independent Consultant and Qualified Person under National Instrument 43-101 standards, further solidifying the credibility of Eminent Gold’s resource evaluation.

Looking Ahead

While the developments in their drilling endeavors are promising, the company remains aware of the risks and challenges associated with mineral exploration such as obtaining necessary permits, environmental regulations, and market conditions. However, with a robust management team and innovative methodologies, Eminent Gold Corp. is poised to make significant contributions to the mineral industry in Nevada.
