ESGold Corp. (CSE: ESAU) (OTCQB: ESAUF) announced the arrival of additional processing equipment at its fully permitted Montauban Gold-Silver Project in Québec, marking a significant step in the ongoing installation and commissioning of its 1,000-tonne-per-day processing facility. The equipment includes a Sepro Mineral Systems Falcon Gravity Concentrator, designed to support precious-metal recovery, and industrial thickeners supplied through A.M. King for solid-liquid separation and water management. The company stated that with main mill infrastructure nearly completed, it is progressively assembling and commissioning the systems required to bring Montauban into operation.
The Montauban project, located in Quebec, is a key asset for ESGold as it transitions from a pre-production mining company to an active producer. The commissioning of the processing facility involves multiple stages, including screening and separation, grinding, cyanide leaching, clarification and de-oxygenation, Merrill-Crowe precipitation, and doré production. The arrival of the Falcon Gravity Concentrator and thickeners indicates that the project is advancing toward the final phases of construction and preparation for production, which is anticipated in 2026.
This development is important for several reasons. First, it demonstrates tangible progress on the ground, reducing execution risk for investors and stakeholders. The successful commissioning of a mining project often faces delays and technical challenges, so the arrival of specialized equipment and the near-completion of main mill infrastructure signal that ESGold is on track. Second, the Montauban project is positioned as a scalable clean mining model, aligning with growing industry and investor interest in sustainable resource extraction. The use of advanced gravity concentration and efficient water management systems supports this objective.
ESGold Corp. is a fully permitted, fully funded, pre-production mining company with a dual-track strategy of generating cash flow today while pursuing discovery tomorrow. The company aims to build a platform for clean, sustainable growth and long-term shareholder value across North and South America. The Montauban Gold-Silver Project is central to this strategy, and its progression to production could provide a near-term revenue stream.
For investors, the advancement of Montauban is a critical milestone. The project’s location in Quebec, a mining-friendly jurisdiction with established infrastructure, adds to its attractiveness. The company’s shares trade on the CSE under ESAU, on the OTCQB under ESAUF, and on the FSE under Z7D, providing multiple access points for investors.

As commissioning continues, the focus will be on integrating the new equipment and completing the remaining systems. The successful start-up of the processing facility will be a key catalyst for ESGold, potentially leading to first gold-silver production and establishing the company as a new producer in the region. The mining industry will be watching closely to see if ESGold can deliver on its timeline and operational targets.
