Eminent Gold Kicks Off 10,000-Meter Drilling Program at Nevada Project
Event summary
- Eminent Gold Corp. begins mobilization for reverse circulation (RC) drilling at Hot Springs Range Project on July 6, 2026, with up to 10,000 meters planned.
- Drilling targets include follow-up at Otis (9.2m @ 3.2 g/t Au) and first test of Eden, a 3km gold-in-soil anomaly.
- Program uses PhotonAssay™ for rapid analysis, with initial results expected within one week per hole.
- Delay attributed to tight Nevada drill rig availability due to improved gold market conditions.
The big picture
Eminent's drilling program comes as Nevada's gold exploration sector experiences renewed activity, with tight equipment availability reflecting improved market conditions. The focus on Carlin-style systems positions the project within Nevada's historically productive mineral trends. Success at Hot Springs Range could validate the company's structural corridor interpretation approach, potentially unlocking additional targets across its Nevada portfolio.
