Eminent Gold Corp (TSXV: EMNT) (OTCQB: EMGDF) has initiated a test geophysical program at its Celts project in Nevada, consisting of two Induced Polarization (IP) lines. The company believes Celts is analogous to the Silicon discovery, which has 3.40 million ounces of indicated and 800,000 ounces of inferred gold resources.
The IP program, conducted by Zonge International from Reno, will cover the high-grade historical vein on the property's east side and potential precious metal mineralization under the steam-heated alteration cap. If significant chargeability-resistivity signals are detected, additional lines will be added to better define potential gold-bearing structures. This technique was successfully used by AngloGold Ashanti at Silicon to identify gold-bearing zones under similar conditions.
Eminent Gold Corp. (EMGDF) has completed the acquisition of the Celts Project in Nevada for US$400,000. The transaction includes an initial payment of US$30,000 in cash and 145,384 common shares valued at US$45,000. The remaining US$325,000 will be paid within six months either in cash or shares.
The company now holds 100% interest in the Celts Project through its subsidiary Hot Springs, subject to a 3% net smelter returns (NSR) royalty. The project is located approximately 100 km northwest of the Silicon multimillion-ounce mining complex. Eminent can reduce the NSR royalty by one-third (to 2%) for US$1,500,000.
The company plans to initiate a geophysical survey followed by a maiden drill program. Currently, drilling operations at Hot Springs Range have reached approximately 1,400 feet of an estimated 1,600-foot target in the second hole.
Eminent Gold Corp (TSXV: EMNT) (OTCQB: EMGDF) has announced significant gold assay results from its first completed drill hole (HSC002) at the Hot Springs Range Project in Nevada. The hole, located near the Getchell Trend, revealed multiple gold-bearing intercepts including:
- 3.9m of 2.4 g/t Au (including 0.5m of 8 g/t Au)
- 4.6m of 1.4 g/t Au (including 0.9m of 4.4 g/t Au)
- 1.4m of 2.4 g/t Au
The mineralization occurred over a 427-meter interval, with sixteen additional samples ranging from 0.1 g/t Au to 1.3 g/t Au. The presence of significant arsenic mineralization suggests a Carlin-type system. A second hole (HSC003) is currently in progress, showing significant alteration with pending assays.
Eminent Gold Corp (TSXV: EMNT) (OTCQB: EMGDF) has announced significant results from its first core hole (HSC002) at the Hot Springs Range Project in Nevada.
