EMINENT APPOINTS IVAN BEBEK AS STRATEGIC ADVISOR FOR CORPORATE DEVELOPMENT AND FINANCE

Eminent Gold Corp. has appointed Ivan Bebek as strategic adviser, corporate development and finance.

Mr. Bebek brings more than 25 years of experience in the junior mining sector, distinguished by a record of discovery, strategic leadership, financing and the monetization of exploration success. He began his career as a co-founder of Keegan Resources Inc. (now Galiano Gold Inc.), where he played a central role in financing, corporate strategy and project advancement that led to the discovery and delineation of the approximately five-million-ounce Esaase gold deposit in Ghana -- now part of the producing Esaase gold mine. He later co-founded and served as chief executive officer of Cayden Resources Inc., leading the company through exploration success and its subsequent acquisition by Agnico Eagle Mines Ltd. for $205-million in 2014. Following Cayden, Mr. Bebek co-founded Auryn Resources (now Fury Gold Mines), where he served as executive chairman and helped guide multiple exploration portfolios across the Americas.

Mr. Bebek worked closely with Eminent's president and chief executive officer, Dr. Dan McCoy, PhD, during their tenure at Keegan, Cayden and the inception of Auryn, contributing to several notable exploration successes in the sector over the past two decades. His experience in corporate development, financing and strategic transactions will complement Eminent as it advances its emerging Hot Springs Range discovery within the company's Nevada gold portfolio.

Mr. Bebek, strategic adviser, corporate development and finance, commented: "It's an honour to join Eminent as a strategic adviser at this time as I believe the company is in the early stages of identifying a new, potential major gold discovery in Nevada at the company's Hot Springs Range property.

"The early evidence for a gold discovery represents a rare global opportunity for a new Carlin-style oxide gold trend in Nevada -- which caught the attention of Kinross, who purchased a 9.9-per-cent investment in the company last year. The limited drilling completed to date has intercepted gold on the only two of multiple faults that have ever been drilled, including a recent hole that showed impressive widths and strong disseminated gold continuity.

"I have worked closely with Dan McCoy throughout the most successful periods of my career, and the timing at Eminent aligns well with his proven track record of discovery."

Dr. McCoy, president and chief executive officer of Eminent Gold, commented: "We are delighted to welcome Ivan Bebek to our team. His ability to finance, advance and monetize discoveries as well as his successful experience guiding companies through M&A [merger and acquisition] transactions comes at an ideal time in the early stages of what we believe is a significant new gold discovery in Nevada. Our collaboration over the years has led to major successes, and we look forward to his guidance as we move forward with the exciting new discovery at Hot Springs Range."

The scientific and technical information in this news release, including summaries of previously disclosed drilling results referenced herein, has been reviewed and approved by Michael Dufresne, PGeo, independent consultant to the company and a qualified person as defined in National Instrument 43-101.

Note: The drilling results and context referenced in Mr. Bebek's comments were first disclosed in the company's news releases dated June 19, 2025 (earlier intercepts along the Otis fault structure, for example, 7.9 metres at 1.2 grams per tonne gold in HSC004 and other significant gold mineralization in HSC002 to HSC004) and Jan. 6, 2026 (hole HSC005 at the Otis target within the Hot Springs Range project: 9.2 m grading 3.2 g/t Au from 295.5 m to 304.7 m, including 0.9 m at 5.4 g/t Au, in oxide Carlin-style mineralization with strong continuity; true widths estimated to be at least 60 per cent based on structural data from core and cross-sections). All four deep core holes completed to date at Otis intersected significant gold mineralization along interpreted fault structures, representing the first drilling on these specific targets (with gold intercepted on the two key structures drilled to date out of multiple interpreted). Full details, tables and figures are available in Eminent's news releases dated Jan. 6, 2026, and June 19, 2025.
