VANCOUVER, BC, April 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ – Eminent Gold Corp. (TSXV: EMNT) (OTCQB: EMGDF) (FSE: 7AB) (“Eminent” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce the appointment of Justin B. Milliard, Ph.D., as Vice President of Exploration, effective immediately.
Dr. Milliard’s appointment comes at a pivotal time as the Company prepares to commence the second phase of drilling at its 100%-owned Hot Springs Range Project (“HSRP”), advancing the discovery and delineation of its emerging Carlin-style oxide gold system.
Dr. Milliard brings more than 20 years of experience as an economic geologist specializing in Nevada’s Carlin-type and structurally controlled gold deposits. Most recently, he served as Principal Geologist – North America at AngloGold Ashanti, where he generated and evaluated epithermal, porphyry, and Carlin-type targets across North America using integrated structural and mineral systems approaches. Prior to AngloGold Ashanti, Dr. Milliard served as Senior Exploration Geologist at Eminent from 2020 to 2022, where he conceptualized, staked, and advanced the Hot Springs Range Project from inception, establishing it as an emerging Carlin-style gold trend.
Dan McCoy, President and CEO, commented:
“We are excited to have Justin back with Eminent as discovery momentum builds at Hot Springs Range and we prepare to drill our Celts project later this year, followed by Gilbert South next year. His deep understanding of the projects and proven ability to generate high-quality targets significantly strengthen our exploration efforts and make him a welcome asset as we enter a highly active year of exploration and drilling.”
Justin B. Milliard, Ph.D., Vice President of Exploration, commented:
“I am excited to be back at Eminent as the initial phase of drilling has confirmed our original thesis that significant gold-bearing structures exist on the property in a setting analogous to the prolific Getchell Trend. The Hot Springs Range Project is exceptionally well situated, with multiple high-priority targets that remain largely untested by drilling yet show strong geological similarities to nearby major deposits. Targets such as Eden and Sitka are now near drill-ready and represent compelling opportunities as we advance this emerging gold trend.”
