Vancouver, Canada, October 17, 2022 – Eminent Gold Corp. (TSX-V: EMNT) (OTCQB: EMGDF) (the "Company" or “Eminent”) is pleased to announce that it has begun a geophysics survey at its Meadow Canyon target (Fig. 1 and Fig. 2) after receiving approval from the U.S. National Forest Service (“USFS”). Additionally, positive results from several infill soil samples further support the concept of a buried mineralizing system at Meadow Canyon. A geophysical program designed to reveal the architecture of obscured faults to determine the structure’s potential to host gold mineralization has launched with results expected before year end.
Paul Sun, President and CEO of the Company commented:
“The geophysics at Meadow Canyon will be a key step in determining the strength of our thesis that we could have a potential epithermal system analogous to the 23 Moz Round Mountain mine1,2 13km away on the other side of the mountain range. We look forward to working with the USFS personnel through our Plan of Operations and continue to maintain our stewardship to the environment we work in.”
- The Company received an approved Notice of Intent (“NOI”) from the positive Record of Decision from the USFS to proceed with a geophysical survey at Meadow Canyon. This decision establishes a positive working relationship with the Forest Service in this district and bodes well for future permitting of the Plan of Operations.
- Eminent’s geophysical survey will cover 5.6 square kilometers at Meadow Canyon. Results of this survey will provide data the Technical Team needs to move forward with development of drill targets and the associated Plan of Operations for the Project.
- Infill soil tests surrounding an earlier gold anomaly (see April 27, 2022 News Release) bolster the concept of a buried gold system at Meadow Canyon.
Dan McCoy, Chief Geologist and Director commented:
“The Meadow Canyon target has the potential to develop into a new major gold target in Nevada. Early discrete indications through geochemistry results on surface and its proximity to the Round Mountain mine indicate the potential for an obscured mineralized gold system to be present. The geophysics will be the remaining study required to identify drill targets prior to completion of the Plan of Operations and drilling.”

Forward-looking statements made in this news release include the Company’s exploration plans for the Spanish Moon property, the Company’s expectations for the potential of the Spanish Moon property, the Company’s plans for generating drill targets based on current information and the generation of information from the proposed geophysical survey. Although Eminent Gold Corp. believes the expectations expressed in such forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, including the assumption that records and reports of historical work on the Spanish Moon property are accurate and correct and that the sampling results are indicative of the target areas as a whole, such statements are not guarantees of future performance, are subject to risks and uncertainties, and actual results or realities may differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements.
