Eminent Gold to drill up to 10,000 m at Hot Springs

Executive Summary

• Eminent Gold Corp. has signed a drilling contract with Alford Drilling LLC for a reverse circulation (RC) program of 5,000 to 10,000 metres at the Otis target of its Hot Springs Range project (HSRP) in Nevada.
• Drilling is scheduled to commence on or around April 15, 2026, focusing on testing extensions of previous mineralization and new untested areas.
• The program aims to delineate an oxide resource of economic value, building on prior encouraging results including a significant intercept in hole HSC005.

Key Details

• Contractor: Alford Drilling LLC (Nevada-based).
• Program Scope: Minimum 5,000 metres, up to 10,000 metres of Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling.
• Location: Otis target, Hot Springs Range project (HSRP), Nevada (15 km northwest of the Getchell trend).
• Start Date: On or around April 15, 2026.
• Methodology: RC drilling for quicker turnaround and lower cost per metre; utilization of photon assaying as a faster, environmentally friendly alternative to fire assays.
• Prior Context: Builds on hole HSC005 intercept of 9.2 metres grading 3.2 grams per tonne Au (fire assay total gold), reported Jan. 6, 2026.
• Technical Findings: Positive shaker leach tests support visual indications that mineralization is oxide, enhancing the attractiveness of the intercept and justifying the expansion to potentially delineate an economic oxide resource.
• Future Plans: CEO Dan McCoy indicated plans to scale exploration in 2026, including expanding drilling to the HSRP Eden target and beginning the inaugural drill program at the Celts project in the Walker Lane trend.
• QA/QC: Samples assayed by Paragon Geochemical using 30-gram pulp split fire assay with aqua regia digestion/AAS finish and one-hour room-temperature cyanide solution leach (shaker leach) on 10g pulp split/AAS finish. Rigorous QA/QC includes blanks, standards, and duplicates.

Notable Quotes

• Dan McCoy, President and CEO: "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 get to test nearby fault intersections that are similar in orientation to gold-bearing fault intersections at the nearby Getchell trend."
• Dan McCoy, President and CEO: "The company is currently well financed for this program and is looking at scaling its exploration programs throughout 2026. We are eager to expand its exploration drilling to our HSRP Eden target... and to begin our inaugural drill program at the Celts project... in the coming months."
