Eminent mobilizes drilling at Hot Springs Range, Nevada

Canada NewsWire VANCOUVER, BC , June 15, 2026 /CNW/ - Eminent Gold Corp. (TSXV: EMNT) (OTCQB: EMGDF) (FSE: 7AB) ("Eminent" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that mobilization of the reverse circulation (RC) drill rig to its 100%-owned Hot Springs Range Project ("HSRP") in Nevada is scheduled for July   6, 2026 , with drilling to commence immediately thereafter. This drilling represents the previously announced program of up to 10,000   meters at HSRP. The Company has been fully prepared to drill since early April, with all drill pads, access roads, and permits in place.

The updated start date reflects the contractor's completion of a prior commitment. This phase of drilling will follow up on encouraging results from the Otis target, including 9.2   meters grading 3.2   g/t   Au in hole HSC005, and will also mark the first drill test of the Eden target at the opposite end of the 10-kilometre structural corridor. Eden is defined by a 3-kilometre-long gold-in-soil anomaly along a major structure refined by the Company's recent seismic survey, which also helped guide drill-site prioritization for this program (see Figure   1).

Planned Drilling Details Reverse circulation (RC) drilling across the Otis target area to follow up on previous high-grade intersections; Diamond core drilling at the Eden target, utilizing RC pre-collars through the cover sequence before transitioning to core; PhotonAssay™ analysis for rapid turnaround, with initial results anticipated within approximately one week per hole; RC holes expected to take approximately 48 hours to complete. Additional details on the Otis and Eden targets, including figures and seismic interpretations, are available in the Company's May 26, 2026 news release. Dan McCoy, President & CEO, commented: "We are pleased to announce a scheduled start to drilling at Hot Springs Range.

The Company experienced a delay due to increased demand for drill rigs across Nevada, where availability has tightened considerably with the improved gold market. We are excited to follow up on the promising results at Otis and to test additional structural corridors that form part of what we interpret as a robust Carlin-style gold system on the project, as we work to expand on our initial discovery holes and evaluate new targets." The Company remains well positioned to execute its active 2026 exploration program in Nevada. Drilling at Hot Springs Range is now commencing, with the Celts project scheduled to follow later this year.

Further updates will be provided as drilling progresses and results become available. The figure illustrates completed diamond-core holes at Otis (red stars), planned RC holes (yellow stars), and planned core holes (green stars) along the Otis and Eden structural corridors.

Drilling is scheduled to commence following drill-rig mobilization.
