Eden Drilling to Test a Broader Nevada Gold Discovery

Eminent Gold Corporation (EMNT:TSXV; EMGDF:OTCQB; 7AB:FSE) is preparing its first drilling program at the Eden target within its 100%-owned Hot Springs Range Project in Humboldt County, Nevada. The program is designed to investigate a three-kilometer gold-in-soil anomaly approximately 10 kilometers north of the company's Otis discovery, where previous drilling returned gold intercepts of 9.2 meters grading 3.2 grams per tonne (g/t) and 57.9 meters grading 0.3 g/t.

The upcoming Eden program represents a separate test of the geological model Eminent has developed across Hot Springs Range. The company believes the property contains a previously unrecognized Carlin-style gold trend extending approximately 10 kilometers parallel to Nevada's established Getchell Trend. Gold-in-soil anomalies identified at both ends of the proposed corridor have provided the basis for exploration at Otis and Eden.

According to the company's October 17 investor presentation, the Hot Springs Range Project encompasses 521 claims totaling more than 4,311 hectares. Eminent completed the terms of its property acquisition agreement in April 2025 and holds a 100% interest in the project, subject to an existing net smelter royalty.

Otis Drilling Establishes Initial Gold Discovery

Eminent's exploration model centers on geological similarities between Hot Springs Range and the nearby Getchell Trend, which hosts the Turquoise Ridge and Twin Creeks gold deposits. The company has identified comparable host rocks, structural faults, and geological relationships that it believes warrant drilling. However, the presence of mineralization at established deposits along the Getchell Trend does not establish comparable mineralization at Hot Springs Range.

At Otis, the company's initial drilling provided evidence of gold mineralization within structures that had not previously been tested. Hole HSC-005 intersected 9.2 meters grading 3.2 g/t gold in oxide mineralization, while all four initial core holes encountered gold.

Subsequent reverse circulation drilling expanded the mineralized intervals encountered at the target. Hole HSR2601 returned 57.9 meters grading 0.3 g/t gold, including 19.8 meters at 0.5 g/t, 10.7 meters at 0.7 g/t, and 6.1 meters at 0.9 g/t. The hole ended in 3.0 meters grading 2.1 g/t gold after reaching the operational depth limit of the reverse circulation drill rig.

Additional drilling along the Little Humboldt Fault returned 35.0 meters grading 0.3 g/t gold in hole HSR2604, including 3.0 meters at 1.1 g/t. Hole HSR2605 intersected 15.2 meters grading 0.3 g/t, while HSR2606 returned 4.6 meters grading 0.2 g/t.

The company reported that gold grades, alteration, and associated geochemical indicators strengthened toward the northeast and at greater depths. Those observations informed plans to return to selected holes with core drilling equipment, including HSR2601, to investigate mineralization below the depths reached during the reverse circulation program.

Eden Drilling to Test a Potential 10-Kilometer Gold Trend

While Otis provided the initial drilling results, Eden represents a separate exploration target within the proposed Hot Springs Range trend.

The Eden target contains the largest gold-in-soil anomaly identified at the project, extending approximately three kilometers across an area covered by younger geological material. Eminent has interpreted the surface geochemical signature as evidence of potential gold-bearing structures beneath the cover.

The company's geological interpretation identifies deep faults that could have served as pathways for mineralizing fluids. Seismic studies have helped define these structures, and Eminent has incorporated the results into its planned drill locations.

In its October investor presentation, Eminent described Eden as a geological analogue to Twin Creeks, while Otis was compared with Turquoise Ridge. Both comparisons were based on the company's interpretation of geological structures and host rocks rather than established mineral resources at Hot Springs Range.

The proposed Eden drilling includes reverse circulation pre-collars and deeper core drilling designed to investigate the interpreted fault structures beneath the surface anomaly. The company's cross-section identified the Crossroads and Bullhead faults among the structures associated with its planned holes.

The distinction between Eden and Otis is central to Eminent's exploration program. Otis has already returned gold mineralization from drilling, while Eden's three-kilometer surface anomaly remains untested by the company's inaugural drill program. Results from Eden would provide the first direct drilling evidence needed to evaluate the company's interpretation of a broader mineralized corridor.

Kinross Ownership and Upcoming Nevada Drilling Programs

Eminent's exploration activities have also involved Kinross Gold Corp. (K:TSX;  KGC:NYSE), which held approximately 13.8% of the company's outstanding shares as of October 16, 2026.

Kinross increased its ownership position to that level on March 3, 2026. The major gold producer also staked claims adjacent to Hot Springs Range and has two technical advisers participating in the joint committee guiding exploration activities.

The ownership position and technical participation place Kinross within Eminent's exploration and corporate structure as the company advances drilling at Hot Springs Range. The neighboring claims also establish a separate land position held by Kinross beside the project. These developments do not establish additional gold mineralization or indicate any agreement to acquire Eminent's properties.

Alongside Eden, Eminent outlined additional exploration work at Otis and its Celts project elsewhere in Nevada.

In a September 8 technical analysis, Stewart Thomson assigned Eminent Gold a "Speculative Buy" rating.¹

At Otis, deeper core drilling was planned to investigate the continuation of mineralization below previously completed holes. The company's geological model identified targets along the Otis Fault and near its intersection with the Hot Springs Thrust, including areas where previous drilling encountered gold mineralization before reaching operational depth limits.

The planned core work included extensions beneath the 9.2-meter interval grading 3.2 g/t gold and the 57.9-meter interval grading 0.3 g/t gold. The company also identified a deeper target east of the existing drilling that remained conceptual and untested.

At Celts, Eminent outlined an inaugural drilling program targeting structures it compared with those associated with AngloGold Ashanti Plc's (AU:NYSE; ANG:JSE) Arthur Gold Project. The company reported geological age-dating results of 11.73 ± 0.12 million years, consistent with the timing of mineralization identified at the Silicon deposit within the Arthur project.

Eminent planned five holes totaling approximately 2,500 meters at Celts, targeting the Cool Boy and Gold Button fault systems. Two holes had received permits, while three remained subject to additional approvals and financing. The company's October 17 presentation placed the initial Celts drilling program in the first quarter of 2027.

The same presentation identified the fourth quarter of 2026 as the period for continued drilling at Otis and the beginning of the Eden program, with Eden drilling extending into the first quarter of 2027. 

The upcoming drilling at Eden and the deeper core work at Otis address different aspects of Eminent's interpretation of Hot Springs Range. At Otis, the company is investigating the depth and structural continuation of mineralization already encountered in drill holes. At Eden, the initial program is intended to determine whether gold mineralization occurs beneath a separate, three-kilometer surface anomaly approximately 10 kilometers away.

Together, the programs represent the next stage in testing Eminent's proposed 10-kilometer Carlin-style trend. The available drilling results establish gold mineralization at Otis, while the extent, continuity, and mineralization of the broader corridor remain to be determined.

Technical Analyst Maintained Speculative Buy Rating

¹In a September 8 technical analysis, Stewart Thomson assigned Eminent Gold a "Speculative Buy" rating. Thomson identified resistance levels of CA$0.63 in the short term, CA$0.76 in the medium term, and CA$0.87 in the long term. 

Discussing the company's daily share-price chart, Thomson wrote, "A flag-like drift is in play. A breakout could be imminent." He also identified a bullish divergence between the share price and the money flow index (MFI) and relative strength index (RSI). Thomson noted that the moving average convergence divergence (MACD) indicator was approaching a crossover buy signal near the zero line.

Thomson identified drilling at Hot Springs Range, the initial gold intercepts at Otis, and Kinross Gold's ownership position among the factors informing his assessment. He also cautioned that continued exploration depended on financing and that drilling might not confirm the company's geological model at scale.

The gold market remained a focus of attention in October as the value of government reserves, inflation concerns, and interest rate expectations influenced the precious metal's performance. Despite recent price fluctuations, gold continued to serve as a major component of national reserves and an investment asset during periods of economic and geopolitical uncertainty.

According to an October 25 report from Fortune, the United States held the world's largest official gold reserves, totaling approximately 261.5 million ounces. At prevailing market prices of approximately US$4,000 per ounce, those holdings carried an estimated value of US$1 trillion. However, the reserves remained recorded on the government's balance sheet at US$42.22 per ounce, a valuation established by Congress in 1973, resulting in an official book value of slightly more than US$11 billion.

The report examined renewed discussion surrounding the possibility of revaluing government gold holdings to reflect market prices. Jurrien Timmer, director of global macro at Fidelity Investments, considered the potential financial implications of such a change, including its effects on government financing costs and Treasury yields.

Timmer cautioned that a revaluation could introduce additional economic complications, particularly concerning inflation and borrowing costs. Addressing the possibility of the Treasury repricing its reserves, he stated, "My guess is that if the Treasury were to attempt to do this, it would backfire in a big way."

Fortune also referenced a Federal Reserve research note examining previous gold reserve revaluations in several countries. The report indicated that governments had used proceeds from those adjustments to reduce existing debt, although the broader fiscal benefits remained limited. The discussion highlighted the substantial difference between the historical accounting value of official gold reserves and their contemporary market valuation.

Gold prices subsequently remained under pressure as investors evaluated inflation data, energy costs, and monetary policy developments. In an October 25 report updated October 26, Investing.com reported that gold had stabilized during Asian trading following a weekly decline of 4.1%. The metal had briefly fallen below US$4,000 per ounce for the first time since mid-July before recovering above that level.

According to October 26 data from Trading Economics, gold traded at US$4,014.78 per troy ounce, gaining US$20.82, or 0.52%, during the day. Despite the daily increase, the precious metal had declined approximately 2.45% over the preceding month while remaining 0.82% higher on a yearly basis.
