Eminent Gold has intersected 57.9 metres grading 0.3 g/t gold, including 6.1 metres of 0.9 g/t gold, in reverse circulation drilling at the Otis target within its 100%-owned Hot Springs Range Project in Humboldt County, Nevada.

Designed to expand on previous core drilling and test the continuity of mineralisation along the Otis structure, hole HSR2601 returned the thickest mineralised width encountered at the project to date. The hole was terminated within mineralisation due to rig capabilities, returning 3.0 metres grading 2.1 g/t gold at its base.

HSR2602 and HSR2603 did not pierce Otis. HSC005 is previously disclosed Phase 1 core and is not part of this RC batch.

Additional results from the Little Humboldt target included hole HSR2604 returning 35.0 metres at 0.3 g/t gold, including a 3.0-metre interval grading 1.1 g/t gold. Hole HSR2605 intersected 15.2 metres at 0.3 g/t gold, and hole HSR2606 returned 4.6 metres at 0.2 g/t gold.

Analysis of the drilling data showed that clay alteration and pathfinder elements, particularly arsenic, strengthen to the northeast and at depth along the Otis corridor. Eminent initiated exploration at the project with a maiden core drilling program in November 2024 to test a conceptual Getchell Trend analogue.

Eminent plans to re-enter hole HSR2601 with a core rig during its next drilling program to follow the northeast-trending vector at depth.

“We are encouraged by our results to date, Carlin systems are complex however they have no bottom. The mineralization at Otis, much like most Carlin systems, is getting stronger at depth. Our next steps are going to be to follow the NE trending vector on the Otis structural corridor with deeper core testing. We will begin by re‑entering Hole HSR2601, which terminated in plus‑gram mineralization.”

District activity in the surrounding region includes Lodestar Metals Corp. reporting high-grade gold-silver drill results at its Gold Run project on 5 August 2026, intersecting 16.8 metres grading 6.07 g/t gold and 41.1 g/t silver.
