Gravity Separation Circuit Delivered to Montauban as ESGold Advances Toward Production
ESGold Corp (ESAUF) has announced the delivery of Humphrey spiral concentrators to its Montauban site in Quebec, marking a significant milestone in its construction timeline. The gravity separation circuit is designed to process 1,000 tonnes per day of historic tailings, producing marketable mica concentrate while recovering gold and silver.
The Humphrey Spirals are industry-standard gravity concentrators that use centrifugal force and fluid dynamics to separate minerals without chemical reagents. The company is on track for first production by year-end 2025. Upcoming catalysts include an updated Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA), circuit assembly and integration, and the release of ANT survey interpretation and 3D geological model in the coming weeks.
ESGold Corp (ESAUF) ha annunciato la consegna dei concentratori a spirale Humphrey presso il suo sito di Montauban, Quebec, segnando una tappa importante nel cronoprogramma di costruzione.

A Tangible Step Toward Production
The installation of the gravity separation system is a foundational step in ESGold's transition as it moves toward becoming one of Canada's next gold and silver mining companies. The Humphrey Spirals are industry-standard gravity concentrators that utilize centrifugal force and fluid dynamics to separate lighter waste material from heavier, valuable minerals such as mica, gold, and silver. Widely used in mineral processing operations around the world, these systems are known for their efficiency, low operating cost, and ability to operate without chemical reagents-making them ideal for high-throughput tailings reprocessing. This system will process the Montauban tailings into a clean, marketable mica concentrate, while recovering residual gold and silver values using the Company's integrated processing approach.
Combined with existing infrastructure, this equipment establishes the backbone of the Company's tailings-to-cash flow model, enabling production of valuable industrial minerals with a minimal environmental footprint.
"The delivery of our gravity separation circuit marks a tangible step as we accelerate toward production," said Paul Mastantuono, CEO of ESGold. "With boots on the ground, key equipment on site, and construction progressing on schedule, there is a high level of excitement across the company. It's one thing to plan for production-it's another to physically see it coming together for our shareholders."
Next Steps
- Updated Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) coming soon, expected to outline enhanced project economics based on current metal prices
- Circuit Assembly & Integration: On-site installation of the gravity system and final mechanical alignment
- First Production: Remains on track for year-end 2025
- Exploration Update: ANT survey interpretation and 3D geological model release expected in the coming weeks
This milestone underscores ESGold's steady progress toward near-term production and revenue generation. With construction advancing, key infrastructure in place, and an updated PEA forthcoming, the Company remains focused on delivering value through disciplined execution and operational readiness.
