EMNT Eminent Gold Corp

VANCOUVER, BC, Sept. 27, 2023 /CNW/ - Eminent Gold Corp. (TSXV: EMNT) (OTCQB: EMGDF) (the "Company" or "Eminent") is pleased to report it has signed a purchase and sale agreement with Orogen Royalties Inc. ("Orogen") for its Gilbert South property ("Gilbert South" or "Property") located 30 km west of Tonopah in the Walker Lane Trend (total gold endowment of over 80 Moz Au and 700 M oz Ag⁽¹⁾), Nevada (Figure 1).

Under the terms of the purchase agreement, Eminent will acquire 100-per-cent interest in the 110 unpatented claims (890 hectares) in exchange for 350,000 Eminent common shares. An additional 200,000 Eminent common shares will be issued to Orogen when the Company initiates a drill program at Gilbert South. As a result, the existing option agreement (the "Option Agreement") with Orogen has been terminated. The Property is comprised of three different claim blocks: (i) 2 unpatented claims known as the "Nevada Select Claims", (ii) 27 unpatented claims known as the "GL Claims", and (iii) 81 unpatented claims known as the "Timberline Claims". The Timberline Claims are currently subject to a 3% Net Smelter Return royalty, the Nevada Select Claims are currently subject to a 2% Net Smelter Return royalty, and GL Claims are currently subject to a 2.25% Net Smelter Return royalty (the "GL Royalty"). The Company shall have the option and right to repurchase one percent (1%) of the GL Royalty for US$1,000,000, thus reducing the GL Royalty to 1.25% of all products from the GL Claims. Orogen shall have the option to buydown 1% of the Timberline Net Smelter Return for US$1,500,000.

Paul Sun, President and CEO of the Company commented:

"The Gilbert South Property represents an exceptional opportunity to explore a well-known historic gold district and having ownership of it puts the company in a much better position to advance the project on its own timeline. We consider this to be one of the best epithermal prospects in the Walker Lane district in Nevada."

Dan McCoy, Chief Geologist and Director commented:

"The Gilbert South Property is a classic large epithermal system with high grades of gold. Previous drilling did not test the most prospective targets and little targeting has been done with respect to the potential bonanza grade gold that may exist at depth."

Eminent's exploration work on the Property's target areas identified by surface samples and mapping have been corroborated by geophysical data (Figure 2). The geophysical conductive anomalies commonly correlate with alteration of the host rock to clay minerals produced by the same fluids that formed veins; a common association in bonanza gold targets and one that Eminent geologists mapped on the surface at Gilbert South (Figure 3). The Company plans to prioritize and permit drill targets at Pretty Boy, Bighorn, and the East Bound areas in preparation for a drill program planned for 2024.
