Eminent Gold Commences Large-Scale Drilling at Nevada Project
Event summary
- Eminent Gold has started a 10,000-meter reverse circulation drill program at its Hot Springs Range Project in Nevada on July 17, 2026.
- Initial drilling encountered oxide gold mineralization in all four diamond core holes, including a highlight of 9.2 meters grading 3.2 g/t Au.
- The program includes 14 RC holes at the Otis target and up to five RC holes at the Eden target.
- Airborne geophysical data suggests potential Comus-type host rocks at the Eden target, commonly associated with major Carlin-type gold systems.
The big picture
Eminent Gold's large-scale drilling program at the Hot Springs Range Project aims to establish a new gold trend in northern Nevada, an area where no new Carlin-style trend has been identified in decades. The project's geological characteristics align with major gold-bearing systems in the region, potentially unlocking significant exploration upside. Success could validate Eminent's thesis of multiple new Carlin-style gold discoveries in this part of Nevada.
What we're watching
- Drilling Results
- The pace at which assay results are released and their potential to expand the known mineralization at both Otis and Eden targets.
- Structural Interpretation
- Whether the updated geophysical interpretation will lead to successful targeting of high-priority fault zones.
- District-Scale Potential
- How the systematic exploration approach may uncover additional prospective areas across the Hot Springs Range structural corridor.
