Eminent Expands HSRP Claims in Key Area

Rhea-AI Summary

Eminent (OTCQB: EMGDF) staked 370 hectares of new claims at its 100%‑owned Hot Springs Range Project (HSRP) in Humboldt County, Nevada, expanding the HSRP package to 4,311 hectares.

The staking secures an extension of the emerging Carlin‑style oxide gold system along the Eden Corridor after the Company's Otis intercept (9.2 m @ 3.2 g/t Au). Company data cite a 3 km gold‑in‑soil anomaly, CSAMT and gravity results indicating a larger continuous structural corridor, and thrust faults interpreted as deep feeders. Management says the ground was secured quickly following gravity confirmation.

Positive

• 370 hectares newly staked at HSRP
• HSRP land package increased to 4,311 hectares
• Otis discovery: 9.2 m @ 3.2 g/t Au (previously announced)
• 3 km gold‑in‑soil anomaly along Eden Corridor
• Gravity and CSAMT data confirm a continuous structural corridor

Negative

• Exploration stage; no mineral resource or economic study reported
• Discovery evidence is early and not proof of commercial mineralization

VANCOUVER, BC, Jan. 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ - Eminent Gold Corp. (TSXV: EMNT) (OTCQB: EMGDF) (FSE: 7AB) ("Eminent" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the staking of new claims totaling 370 hectares (see Figure 1) at its 100%-owned Hot Springs Range Project ("HSRP") in Humboldt County, Nevada. This strategic expansion along the prospective Eden Corridor — directly following the Company's significant oxide gold intercept at Otis (9.2 m @ 3.2 g/t Au) announced in the news release dated January 6, 2026 — highlights the emerging district-scale potential of the project, bringing the total HSRP land package to 4,311 hectares under claim.

This latest staking secures an important extension of the emerging new Carlin-type oxide gold system discovery at HSRP, positioned parallel to the prolific Getchell Trend — home to major high-grade Carlin-style deposits including Turquoise Ridge and Twin Creeks¹. The new claims target the Eden Corridor, where recent gravity survey results (see Figure 2) confirm a much larger and continuous structural corridor than previously recognized, extending southwest from the high-priority Eden target. Supporting data includes a 3 km long gold-in-soil anomaly (defined by CSAMT surveys and soil sampling through pediment cover), with geochemical signatures and structural architecture closely mirroring world-class Getchell Trend deposits, including robust thrust faults intersecting deep crustal feeders — the same controls observed at Turquoise Ridge and at the Company's Otis discovery hole.

Following gravity confirmation of the scale, continuity, and strength of these fault corridors, the Company moved quickly to secure the entire anomalous trend before further competitive activity.

Dan McCoy, President and CEO, stated:

"As we advance this new oxide Carlin-style discovery within our HSRP property, we have acquired key claims based on the geological data and prospectivity collected to date. The Eden area has long been a high-priority focus, and this move ensures we control the key ground in this promising new trend in Nevada."
