en.Wedoany.com Reported - Canadian junior mining company Eminent Gold Corp. (TSXV: EMNT, OTCQB: EMGDF, FSE: 7AB) announced on July 20, 2026, that drilling operations have officially commenced at its Hot Springs Range gold project in Humboldt County, Nevada, USA. The drill program, totaling 10,000 meters, utilizes reverse circulation (RC) technology and aims to systematically test multiple fault zones in the Otis and Eden target areas to expand previously discovered oxidized gold mineralization zones.
Eminent Gold Corp. is a junior mining company focused on gold exploration in Nevada, USA. Its Hot Springs Range project is located approximately 15 kilometers northwest of the renowned Getchell gold trend, featuring a structural corridor about 10 kilometers long. This drilling campaign builds on four previously completed diamond core holes, all of which intersected fault-related oxidized gold mineralization, with the best intercept yielding 9.2 meters at 3.2 grams per tonne gold.
According to the plan, the 2026 drilling program will complete 14 reverse circulation holes in the Otis target area, focusing on four priority fault zones, including the Otis Fault, Little Humboldt Fault, and the Hinkey and Paradise faults, which are being drilled for the first time. Meanwhile, the project will conduct an initial phase of up to five reverse circulation holes in the Eden target area to preliminarily test three key faults beneath a 3-kilometer-long soil gold anomaly. The RC drill rig has a maximum depth capacity of approximately 460 meters, and depending on initial results, some holes may be extended as diamond core holes to obtain deeper geological information.
Dan McCoy, President and CEO of Eminent Gold, stated that the company is excited to resume drilling at the Hot Springs Range project, as previous drilling has advanced the target from a concept to a new, drilled Carlin-type oxidized gold mineralization system. This drilling aims to expand the mineralization footprint discovered at Otis and conduct initial testing of the highly prospective Eden target. Success at both targets would strongly support the company's exploration model for discovering a new Carlin-type gold trend in northern Nevada.
All drill pads, access roads, and related permits were prepared in early April 2026. Drilling operations are being conducted by Alford Drilling LLC, utilizing multi-shift continuous operations. Samples will be processed using the PhotonAssay rapid analysis method. The company expects to release assay results progressively over the summer.
