Eminent Confirms Structure Under Celts Steam Cap Analogous to Silicon
Eminent Gold Corp (TSXV: EMNT) (OTCQB: EMGDF) has announced significant resistivity results from two Induced Polarization (IP) lines at its Celts project in Nevada. The survey revealed a large west-dipping fault beneath steam-heated cap rocks, showing structural similarities to the Silicon deposit, which hosts 3.40 million ounces of indicated and 800,000 ounces of inferred gold resources.
The geophysical results identified a fault with normal displacement under high-resistivity steam-heated cap rocks rich in silica. This structural configuration mirrors the Silicon deposit's characteristics, where mineralized fluids historically moved up similar faults above the paleo water table. The company plans to initiate permitting for drill roads and pads to test this geological model.
Eminent Gold Corp (TSXV: EMNT) (OTCQB: EMGDF) ha annunciato risultati significativi di resistività da due linee di Polarizzazione Indotta (IP) nel suo progetto Celts in Nevada. Il sondaggio ha rivelato una grande faglia inclinata verso ovest sotto le rocce di copertura riscaldate dal vapore, mostrando somiglianze strutturali con il deposito di Silicon, che ospita 3,40 milioni di once di risorse auree indicate e 800.000 once di risorse auree inferite.
I risultati geofisici hanno identificato una faglia con spostamento normale sotto rocce di copertura riscaldate dal vapore ad alta resistività, ricche di silice. Questa configurazione strutturale rispecchia le caratteristiche del deposito di Silicon, dove fluidi mineralizzati si sono storicamente mossi lungo faglie simili sopra il paleo livello dell'acqua. L'azienda prevede di avviare le autorizzazioni per strade e piattaforme di perforazione per testare questo modello geologico.

Eminent Gold Corp (TSXV: EMNT) (OTCQB: EMGDF) a annoncé des résultats de résistivité significatifs provenant de deux lignes de Polarisation Induite (IP) dans son projet Celts au Nevada. L'enquête a révélé une grande faille inclinée vers l'ouest sous des roches de couverture chauffées par la vapeur, montrant des similitudes structurelles avec le dépôt de Silicon, qui abrite 3,40 millions d'onces de ressources aurifères indiquées et 800 000 onces de ressources aurifères inférées.
Les résultats géophysiques ont identifié une faille avec un déplacement normal sous des roches de couverture chauffées par la vapeur à haute résistivité, riches en silice. Cette configuration structurelle reflète les caractéristiques du dépôt de Silicon, où des fluides minéralisés se sont historiquement déplacés le long de failles similaires au-dessus de l'ancienne nappe phréatique. L'entreprise prévoit de demander des permis pour des routes et des plateformes de forage afin de tester ce modèle géologique.
Eminent Gold Corp (TSXV: EMNT) (OTCQB: EMGDF) hat bedeutende Widerstandsergebnisse von zwei Induzierten Polarisation (IP)-Linien in ihrem Celts-Projekt in Nevada angekündigt. Die Untersuchung offenbarte eine große nach Westen geneigte Verwerfung unter dampfbeheizten Deckgesteinen, die strukturelle Ähnlichkeiten mit der Silicon-Lagerstätte aufweist, die 3,40 Millionen Unzen angezeigte und 800.000 Unzen geschätzte Goldressourcen beherbergt.
Die geophysikalischen Ergebnisse identifizierten eine Verwerfung mit normalem Versatz unter hochwiderstandsfähigen dampfbeheizten Deckgesteinen, die reich an Siliziumdioxid sind. Diese strukturelle Konfiguration spiegelt die Eigenschaften der Silicon-Lagerstätte wider, wo mineralisierte Flüssigkeiten historisch entlang ähnlicher Verwerfungen über dem paläowasserstand aufstiegen. Das Unternehmen plant, die Genehmigung für Bohrstraßen und -plattformen zur Prüfung dieses geologischen Modells zu beantragen.

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - March 12, 2025) - Eminent Gold Corp. (TSXV: EMNT) (OTCQB: EMGDF) (FSE: 7AB) (the "Company" or "Eminent") is pleased to announce that it has received resistivity results from two Induced Polarization (IP) lines at its Celts ("Celts") project in Nevada (Figure 1). Eminent believes Celts is an exploration analogue to the recent Silicon discovery (3.40 million ounces of indicated and 800,000 ounces of inferred gold resources1,2). The program consisted of two test lines over the width of the property traversing the top of the steam-heated alteration cap (Figure 2).
Paul Sun, President and CEO of the Company commented:
"This marks an important advancement in our exciting Celts project, as the company is preparing to drill its third hole at Hot Springs Range, where early indications of a discovery are underway, and the second hole is pending assays. The structural confirmation of the Celts target through the IP survey supports analogous features to the world-class Silicon deposit and our model, which has guided our first planned drill holes. Further exploration and drilling plans will follow this announcement in the coming weeks."
The results show that there is a large fault residing in a small topographic divide on top of the rhyolite dome, which is picked up in both IP lines. The way the fault shows up in geophysics is by the offset in low-resistivity rocks (Figure 3). This offset appears to have a west dip. The fact that the low-resistivity rocks are down to the west suggests that the fault has normal displacement. The fault occurs below the steam-heated cap rocks, which show up as having high resistivity because of abundant silica.
This fault is of technical interest as it is analogous to the Silicon deposit (Figure 4), where a west dipping fault with apparent normal movement also occurs beneath a steam-heated cap with pervasive silica alteration. It is likely that, in both cases, fluids moved up these faults and, once above the paleo water table, created the silica rich, high resistivity steam cap. This creates compelling drill targets for Eminent, where the next steps will involve permitting drill roads and pads to test this model in the near future.
Dan McCoy, Chief Geologist and Director commented:
"The Celts Project, much like our Hot Springs Range Project, represents another analogue to major gold discoveries in Nevada. The hypothesis that the steam-heated model for potential underlying gold mineralization observed at Silicon may also exist at Celts is further supported by these results. We are thrilled to be the first company to initiate a maiden drill program on this promising target."
