ESGold Corp. reports developments in precious-metals exploration and pre-production mine development centered on the Montauban property in Quebec. The company describes Montauban as a fully permitted, past-producing gold-silver mine with historical tailings, surface and underground mineralization, and a strategy that combines tailings reprocessing with broader exploration across the land package.
Recurring updates for ESAUF include project construction, mill and gravity-circuit components, technical and economic study references, private-placement financing, and commentary tied to gold and silver market conditions. Coverage also includes company interviews and resource-sector media features that discuss ESGold's clean-mining approach, permitting position, and plans to move Montauban toward production.
ESGold (OTCQB:ESAUF) has received an Authorization of Impact-Causing Exploration Work (ATI) from Québec’s Ministère des Ressources naturelles et des Forêts for systematic drilling at its 100%-owned Montauban Gold-Silver Project. The ATI allows final field preparations, access planning and contractor mobilization for an initial drill program.
The program will prioritize historical crown-pillar mineralization and step-out targets defined by historical data, structural interpretation and Ambient Noise Tomography, which outlined an interpreted corridor to ~900 m depth over at least 2 km strike within a broader 70 km² survey. Drilling will advance alongside construction and commissioning of ESGold’s fully permitted tailings reprocessing operation, supporting the company’s dual-track strategy while maintaining that current exploration targets are conceptual and not yet mineral resources.
