Eminent Gold Corp. (OTCQB: EMGDF) has completed the final payment for its Celts Project acquisition in Nevada's Walker Lane Trend. The payment of US$325,000 was satisfied through issuing 1,364,752 common shares at CAD$0.3283 per share.

The 560-hectare Celts Project shares geological features with the significant Silicon-Merlin hydrothermal system. Surface samples have yielded up to 33 g/t gold, and recent IP surveys have identified a potential mineralizing structure. Notably, Barrick Gold has staked approximately 1,743 hectares adjacent to Celts, validating the area's potential.

This acquisition strengthens Eminent's portfolio of three 100%-owned, drill-ready projects across Nevada's gold trends, including Hot Springs Range and Gilbert South.

Eminent Gold Corp. (OTCQB: EMGDF) ha completato il pagamento finale per l'acquisizione del Celts Project nella Walker Lane Trend del Nevada. L'importo di US$325.000 è stato corrisposto con l'emissione di 1.364.752 azioni ordinarie al prezzo di CAD$0,3283 per azione.

Il progetto Celts, esteso su 560 ettari, presenta caratteristiche geologiche in comune con il rilevante sistema idrotermale Silicon-Merlin. Campioni di superficie hanno restituito fino a 33 g/t d'oro e recenti indagini IP hanno individuato una possibile struttura mineralizzante. In particolare, Barrick Gold ha acquisito circa 1.743 ettari adiacenti a Celts, confermando il potenziale dell'area.

Questa acquisizione rafforza il portafoglio di Eminent, che comprende ora tre progetti di proprietà al 100% e pronti per la perforazione nelle principali tendenze aurifere del Nevada, inclusi Hot Springs Range e Gilbert South.

Eminent Gold Corp. (OTCQB: EMGDF)는 네바다의 워커 레인 트렌드에 위치한 Celts Project 인수에 대한 잔금을 완료했습니다. US$325,000의 대금은 주당 CAD$0.3283로 1,364,752주의 보통주를 발행하는 방식으로 지급되었습니다.

560헥타르 규모의 Celts Project는 중요한 실리콘-멀린(Silicon-Merlin) 열수 시스템과 유사한 지질 특성을 보입니다. 지표 시료에서 최대 33 g/t의 금이 확인되었고, 최근 IP(유도분극) 조사에서는 잠재적인 광화 구조가 식별되었습니다. 특히 Barrick Gold는 Celts 인근 약 1,743헥타르를 스테이킹하여 해당 지역의 잠재력을 입증했습니다.

이번 인수로 Eminent는 네바다의 주요 금광 트렌드에 걸쳐 100% 소유하고 시추 준비가 된 세 개의 프로젝트(Hot Springs Range 및 Gilbert South 포함) 포트폴리오를 더욱 강화하게 되었습니다.

Le projet Celts, d'une superficie de 560 hectares, partage des caractéristiques géologiques avec le système hydrothermal important Silicon-Merlin. Des échantillons de surface ont révélé jusqu'à 33 g/t d'or et des levés IP récents ont identifié une structure potentiellement minéralisée. Notamment, Barrick Gold a revendiqué environ 1 743 hectares adjacents à Celts, confirmant le potentiel de la zone.

Cette acquisition renforce le portefeuille d'Eminent, qui comprend désormais trois projets détenus à 100 % et prêts à forer sur les principaux axes aurifères du Nevada, notamment Hot Springs Range et Gilbert South.

Eminent Gold Corp. (OTCQB: EMGDF) hat die Schlusszahlung für die Übernahme des Celts Project in der Walker Lane Trend in Nevada abgeschlossen. Die Zahlung in Höhe von US$325.000 wurde durch die Ausgabe von 1.364.752 Stammaktien zu je CAD$0,3283 beglichen.

Das 560 Hektar große Celts Project weist geologische Merkmale auf, die mit dem bedeutenden Silicon-Merlin-Hydrothermal-System übereinstimmen. Proben von der Oberfläche ergaben bis zu 33 g/t Gold, und jüngste IP-Untersuchungen haben eine potenzielle mineralisierende Struktur identifiziert. Bemerkenswert ist, dass Barrick Gold rund 1.743 Hektar angrenzend zu Celts beansprucht hat, was das Potenzial der Gegend unterstreicht.

Die Übernahme stärkt Eminents Portfolio von drei zu 100 % gehaltenen, bohrbereiten Projekten in den Goldtrends Nevadas, darunter Hot Springs Range und Gilbert South.

VANCOUVER, BC, Aug. 25, 2025 /PRNewswire/ - Eminent Gold Corp. (TSXV: EMNT) (OTCQB: EMGDF) (FSE: 7AB) is pleased to announce it has made the final payment on its acquisition of the Celts Project, totaling 560 hectares within the prolific Walker Lane Trend of southwestern Nevada (see Figures 1 to 3). The project shares key geological features with the Silicon-Merlin1 hydrothermal system—including host lithology, alteration style, and structural setting—making it a compelling analogue in terms of exploration potential. The Silicon-Merlin system was originally identified and optioned by Orogen Royalties Inc. to AngloGold Ashanti and is now recognized as one of Nevada's most significant recent gold discoveries.

Notably, Barrick Gold has recently staked ground adjacent to Celts (see Figure 4), further highlighting the strategic significance of the area. Finalizing ownership of the Celts Project aligns with Eminent's strategy to maintain majority ownership across its portfolio and positions the Company in a highly prospective region with analogues to world-class gold systems.

This milestone follows Eminent's previously announced news releases dated December 12, 2024, and February 12, 2025, and underscores the Company's intent to aggressively advance the Celts Project—now recognized as a high-potential asset within its Nevada portfolio. With Celts joining Hot Springs Range (drilling to resume shortly) and Gilbert South, Eminent holds three 100%-owned, drill-ready projects across multiple prolific gold trends in Nevada. Celts is distinguished by its geological similarities to other high-sulfidation epithermal systems and is rapidly emerging as a priority target with near-term discovery potential. With increasing demand for new gold discoveries across Nevada's major trends, Eminent is advancing Celts as a technically robust and strategically timed opportunity.

Paul Sun, President and CEO of the Company, commented:

"Celts is a valuable part of our U.S. gold-focused portfolio of significant exploration opportunities, all of which host multiple targets. Our pipeline of high-impact, drill-ready opportunities is unique in both the scale each project represents and the stage defined by new concepts in areas that have not been previously considered.

We are preparing to resume drilling at Hot Springs Range, our flagship project, where initial drill results are supporting our thesis of a nearby, emerging potential new gold trend parallel to Getchell. As we prepare to enter the next leg up in the gold market, we are planning to explore across multiple discovery-driven projects in Nevada."

Celts Project Highlights:

  • Defined by a rhyolite dome complex intruding through thick basalt, capped by a steam-heated zone with extensive silica and advanced argillic alteration—hallmarks of high-sulfidation epithermal systems.
  • Surface samples up to 33 grams per tonne (g/t) gold from peripheral veins suggest the presence of low-sulfidation mineralization beneath the steam cap and basalt cover.
  • Recent Induced Polarization (IP) surveys have outlined a northeast-trending structure beneath the steam cap, interpreted as a potential conduit for mineralizing fluids and geologically analogous to structural controls at the Silicon deposit.
  • Orogen Royalties Inc., who originally identified and optioned the Silicon deposit prior to its discovery, has recognized striking geological similarities between Celts and the early-stage characteristics observed at Silicon1.
  • The maiden drill program is planned to test structure beneath the steam cap.
  • Barrick recently staked approximately 1,743 hectares contiguous to the Celts Project, underscoring the district's emerging potential and regional prospectivity.

Transaction Highlights:

  • Final payment completed under the previously announced Purchase Agreement with Orogen Royalties Inc. and Altius Resources Inc.
  • Remaining consideration of US$325,000 satisfied through the issuance of 1,364,752 common shares at a deemed price of CAD$0.3283 per share.
  • The shares are subject to a statutory hold period expiring December 19, 2025.
