Eminent Gold Corp. has confirmed a standalone oxide Carlin-type gold discovery at its Hot Springs Range Project, highlighted by a drill intercept of 9.2 metres grading 3.2 grams per tonne gold. This intercept, from hole HSC005 between 295.5 m and 304.7 m, included a higher-grade sub-interval of 0.9 m at 5.4 g/t Au. All four deep core holes drilled to date at the Otis target intersected significant disseminated gold mineralization along two key fault structures, representing the first-ever drilling on these specific structures. True widths are estimated at 60% of core lengths based on structural data.

In an exclusive CEO.CA ‘Inside the Boardroom’ interview, President and CEO Dr. Daniel McCoy detailed the company’s multi-structure approach, noting four parallel fault zones now defined over a 3 km trend. Early drilling has averaged 6.4 m at 2.1 g/t Au across shallow oxide zones, with plans to accelerate the program to 10,000 m in Q1 2026. McCoy emphasized the strategic 9.9% equity investment by Kinross Gold as validation of the project’s potential world-class scale in a proven jurisdiction where comparable Carlin deposits host 5 million to 20 million ounces.

Eminent Gold appointed Ivan Bebek as Strategic Advisor for Corporate Development and Finance, leveraging his 25-year track record that includes co-founding Keegan Resources (now Galiano Gold) and leading Cayden Resources through a C$205 million acquisition by Agnico Eagle. Bebek’s expertise in discovery monetization and transaction execution is expected to support upcoming financing initiatives for the expanded 2026 drill program. His prior collaboration with Dr. McCoy at three companies underscores a shared history of delivering multi-million-ounce discoveries and strategic value creation.
