Advanced modeling powered by artificial intelligence (AI) indicates that Montauban may be more than a reclamation or redevelopment story – it may be emerging as the nucleus of a potentially much larger gold, silver, and base metal district.
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA / ACCESS Newswire / November 13, 2025 / ESGold Corp. (CSE:ESAU)(OTCQB:ESAUF)(FSE:Z7D) (“ESGold” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce the partial completion and interpretation of a comprehensive three-dimensional geological model of its flagship Montauban Gold-Silver Project in Québec.
The model, developed by Geomatic World Inc., consolidates over half a century of geological data, drilling records, and mine plans into a single, modern three-dimensional (3D) representation. The results partially demonstrate that mineralization at Montauban may follow a mineralized system that may look like volcanogenic massive sulphide (“VMS“) system with consistent gold, silver, zinc, and lead enrichment-sharing certain key geological features with globally recognized deposits such as Broken Hill (Australia) and Millenbach (Noranda, Québec) although the deposit is not of the same age nor geological context than any of those deposits.
Watch the 3D Model in Action
A new video showcasing ESGold’s 3D geological model of the Montauban Project can be viewed here:
Figure 1. Three-dimensional (3D) geological model of the Montauban Property, Québec, The model integrates historical and modern data to reveal multiple stacked gold- and silver-rich sulphide zones aligned with major fault structures-geometry characteristic of large, metamorphosed VMS systems (Source: Geomatic World Inc., “Executive Summary – Montauban 3D Geological Modeling Project,” prepared for ESGold Corp., November 2025.)
Gordon Robb, CEO and Director of ESGold, commented, “The Montauban model is the most significant technical milestone in the project’s modern history. What was once seen as a series of small, isolated deposits now seems to emerge as a continuous, multilayered mineral system with dimensions not previously recognized at Montauban.”
Mr. Robb added: “The continuity of mineralized horizons, structural alignment, and metamorphic overprint identified in this model provide the geological backbone to explore Montauban as a true district. With our cash-flow-ready tailings operation and construction well advanced, we’re uniquely positioned to self-fund exploration across the property and accelerate discovery without excessive dilution.”
Key Geological Highlights from the 3D Model
Continuous, Stacked Mineralized Zones: The model defines multiple gold- and silver-rich sulphide horizons extending beyond historical mine workings, aligned with regional fault structures that remain open along strike and at depth.
Structural Coherence and Scale: Mineralized lenses follow predictable structural trends and fold geometries, indicating a large-scale, multi-horizon VMS system typical of mature mining camps such as Noranda and Broken Hill.
Broken Hill and Millenbach Analogues: Montauban exhibits similar geological architecture – metamorphosed VMS mineralization, strong structural repetition, and gold-silver enrichment – placing it within the same family of deposit types capable of hosting significant tonnages, however the Company acknowledges there is no assurance of same or even similar results to those analogous deposits.
Digital Integration of Tailings and Hard Rock: The 3D model integrates both mineralized zones and historical tailings volumes, giving ESGold a full “digital twin” of the property. This dual focus supports near-term reprocessing cash flow and long-term exploration upside. Additional technical data from the historical underground polymetallic zone is still being digitized, a process now underway that will further enhance the model once complete.
Camp-Scale Potential Emerging: The data suggest Montauban may represent the central node of a broader polymetallic corridor, with potential for additional pods or lenses extending well beyond known zones.
Next Steps for the Project
Proceed with Property-Wide ANT Survey: ESGold will expand its existing ANT passive seismic program across the entire Montauban property to map deeper structures, potential feeder systems, and additional mineralized pods.
Digitize and Incorporate Historical Mine Records: Historical mine plans, underground workings, and regional geological data will be merged into the 3D model to enhance resource continuity and target prioritization.
Develop a Systematic Exploration and Drilling Program: A comprehensive exploration roadmap will be finalized to include systematic step-out and infill drilling near the deposit along major structural corridors identified in the model as well as an exploratory program further from the known zones.
Initiate Drill Permitting Process: ESGold will begin the application process to secure all necessary permits for its next phase of exploration drilling.
Self-Funded Discovery Model: With construction of the Montauban mill building complete and the Company now advancing sourcing and procurement of the Merrill-Crowe processing circuit, ESGold’s near-term cash flow from tailings reprocessing has the ability to finance exploration internally, minimizing dilution while maximizing discovery leverage.
A Vision for Growth
Montauban now stands as a fully permitted project with mill building construction complete and processing circuit procurement underway, supported by a geological framework of district scale potential. The combination of near-term production readiness and multipod exploration upside uniquely positions ESGold among emerging producers in Québec, a province globally recognized for its mining stability, infrastructure, and access to clean energy.
Why This Matters to Investors
The new 3D model demonstrates that Montauban is not just a reclamation or redevelopment story – it is the nucleus of a potentially much larger gold, silver, and base-metal district. By continuing confirming geological similarities to world-class systems like Broken Hill and Millenbach, ESGold has established a foundation for multi-year, multi-target exploration across a structurally controlled corridor that remains vastly underexplored.
With a fully funded production path, robust economics, and an emerging exploration blueprint, ESGold offers investors the rare combination of near-term cash flow, low capital risk, and large-scale discovery potential – all within one of the safest mining jurisdictions in the world, being Quebec.

Crofelemer can potentially extend and save lives of microvillus inclusion disease patients, reducing the volume of the total parenteral support (PS) necessary for them to survive
Groundbreaking PS reduction of up to 37% is unprecedented; No approved treatments exist for MVID
“The intestines of patients with the ultrarare genetic disorder MVID do not function properly, as is often the case with patients having intestinal failure due to short bowel syndrome. The intestines of these patients are unable to absorb the fluids, electrolytes and nutrients required to survive and thrive. Intestinal failure is a debilitating, lifelong condition that often requires patients to receive life-sustaining fluids, electrolytes and nutrients through intravenous administration, which consists of total parenteral nutrition (TPN) with supplemental intravenous fluids, which together constitute parenteral support (PS). Most intestinal failure patients require PS up to 7 days a week, and sometimes for 20 hours or more per day,” said Lisa Conte, Jaguar’s founder, president, and CEO.
While crucial for these patients, total parenteral support is associated with significant toxicities to patients, similar to some toxicities associated with chemotherapy, often causing serious health problems including infections, metabolic complications, liver and kidney function problems – as well as a risk of neurodevelopmental delay. These symptoms may emerge at any time in intestinal failure patients, and often become life-threatening.
As presented at NASPGHAN, the results of this ongoing and independent proof-of-concept trial of crofelemer demonstrate disease progression modification through reduction of total parenteral support (PS) in pediatric intestinal failure patients that ranged from 12 to 37%. Specifically, in the two SBS-IF patients who have completed treatment, the results show crofelemer reduced PS between 12.5 to 15.6% at the highest dose over the 12-week treatment period, together with reduced loose watery stools frequency. For the initial MVID patient who has completed treatment, PS needs were reduced by up to 27% at the highest dose over the initial 12-week treatment period and up to 37% during the extension period upon reinitiation of crofelemer treatment, and also showed reduced frequency of loose watery stools. These findings support continued evaluation of crofelemer to reduce PS needs for pediatric intestinal failure patients.
The presentation on November 8, 2025 at NASPGHAN, was titled Exploratory Single-Arm, Open-Label Non-Randomized Trial Evaluating the Safety and Effectiveness of Crofelemer in Pediatric Patients with Intestinal Failure. The study’s primary investigator, Dr. Mohamad Miqdady, Division Chief of the Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology & Nutrition Division at Sheikh Khalifa Medical City (SKMC), a tertiary care center in Abu Dhabi in the UAE, described these initial findings in pediatric intestinal failure patients with crofelemer treatment.
A recognized leader in pediatric gastroenterology, Dr. Miqdady is Professor of Pediatric Gastroenterology at Khalifa University’s medical school, and completed his Fellowship in Pediatric Gastroenterology at Baylor College of Medicine and Texas Children’s Hospital in Houston. He is a member of Napo’s Scientific Advisory Board.
MVID is a devastating ultrarare pediatric disorder, with an estimated worldwide prevalence of 100-200 patients, characterized by severe malabsorption that requires life-sustaining parenteral support to meet the nutritional, fluid and electrolyte requirements of the child, and for which there are currently no approved treatments. MVID has a lethal natural history along with significant co-morbidities. Short bowel syndrome (SBS) affects approximately 10,000 to 20,000 people in the U.S., according to the Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation, and it is estimated that the population of SBS patients in Europe is approximately the same size.
In addition to supporting the IIT in the UAE, Napo is also conducting the placebo-controlled clinical trial of crofelemer in pediatric MVID patients at sites in the U.S., E.U., and Middle East under appropriate regulatory approvals in each of these geographies. The company is also providing crofelemer powder for oral solution for use in two expanded access programs in intestinal failure patients the U.S. to treat adult and pediatric intestinal failure patients with short bowel syndrome and MVID, respectively.
The mission of the North American Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition (NASPGHAN) is to be a world leader in research, education, clinical practice and advocacy for pediatric gastroenterology, hepatology and nutrition in health and disease. NASPGHAN strives to improve the care of infants, children and adolescents with digestive disorders by promoting advances in clinical care, research and education.

The platform replaces fragmented, manual workflows with an autonomous AI system that drafts, validates, and reviews SEC disclosures in real time.
CHICAGO, IL / ACCESS Newswire / November 13, 2025 / Greenshoe, the first AI-native platform built specifically to automate and improve U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) disclosures, today announced that it has raised $3 million in seed funding, led by AIX Ventures, with participation from Hearst Level Up Ventures, Blueprint FTC, Service Provider Capital, and various strategic angels. The capital will fuel Greenshoe’s engineering and go-to-market expansion as the company launches its commercial platform for public company reporting.
On average, as an example, it takes about 180 hours just to prepare a 10-Q, at an expense that can range from roughly $50,000 for smaller companies to well over $1 million for large-cap enterprises, a costly, error-prone process filled with repetitive work, complexity, and risk. Greenshoe modernizes these complex workflows with an AI-native system that uses regulatory precedent, market norms, and real-time company data to deliver faster, more consistent, and compliance-grade disclosures.
“SEC filings are the foundation of market transparency, but the workflows powering them are stuck in a pre-AI world,” said Payton McCoy, CEO and co-founder of Greenshoe. “As a lawyer, I spent hundreds of hours manually preparing SEC disclosures, including 10-Ks, 8-Ks, and IPO filings. That said, Greenshoe is about more than just saving time. It’s about improving disclosure quality and making this work easier to do. We’re laying the rails for a smarter, faster capital markets ecosystem.”
Greenshoe handles niche, but critical workflows such as:
Real-time compliance checks and validations
Draft generation based on regulatory precedent and market comparables
SEC comment analysis and response support
Peer-based benchmarking and research
“We’re building the infrastructure layer for AI-native disclosure intelligence,” said Dr. Yi Zhang, CTO and co-founder. “Our deep-research agent fuses reasoning, evaluation, reflection, and human feedback into a continuous improvement loop. Every interaction sharpens the system, compounding domain expertise into an advantage that makes the platform more intelligent.”
Greenshoe’s architecture is built for complex document processing, combining agentic retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), domain-specific benchmarking, and structured reasoning over SEC disclosure requirements. Greenshoe conducts deep research on each filing and transforms that analysis into precise, context-aware drafting actions grounded in how disclosures evolve, how they compare to peers, and how they align with SEC expectations.
“SEC disclosures are among the most important and complex documents in corporate finance, and Greenshoe is the first team we’ve seen that truly understands both the regulatory nuance and the AI infrastructure required to modernize them,” said Jason McBride, Partner at AIX Ventures. “We invested because Greenshoe isn’t just building a tool. They’re defining an entirely new layer in the regulatory tech stack.”
Greenshoe was built for the roughly 4,700 public companies in the U.S. that face similar challenges navigating evolving SEC expectations, internal approvals, and market comparables. The platform is commercially available and already being adopted by legal teams and capital markets professionals. Early feedback indicates time savings of up to 90% for certain tasks.

New York, NY November 13, 2025 –(PR.com)– FEMM Parlour (FEMM) has opened in New York City to turn dismissed intimate-health concerns into clear plans of care, through cutting-edge technology.
Many women facing intimate health challenges are often dismissed by providers who attribute these issues to gender, FEMM refuses to accept that these concerns are just a part of being women. Through FDA-approved treatments common issues are effectively addresses, with no pain, stigma or downtime.
At FEMM, empowerment is not a slogan, it’s the standard of care. The process starts with a private consultation where patients are heard, without euphemisms. From that conversation, each woman receives a personalized plan explained in plain language, alongside built-in follow-ups so progress is tracked and care evolves. The goal is simple: give women answers they can trust and steps they can take now, not someday.
“We’re not just a clinic; we’re a movement,” said Gina Cappelli. “We’re building a space where intimate health is approached with dignity and clarity, ensuring that every woman can confidently address her unique needs. We take concerns that have been minimized or dismissed and turn them into a plan of action.”
That plan of action is deliberately designed around a woman’s life, not the other way around. Care is delivered in straightforward terms, and the experience emphasizes comfort throughout. Non-surgical options are selected for practicality and accessibility, with no pain and no downtime, so women do not have to choose between addressing their health and keeping their day intact.
“Awareness matters but women are ready for answers,” said Cindy Barshop. “Our job is to listen, to lay out options without pressure, and to guide her through a plan that feels comfortable and credible. The measure of success is not a good conversation; it’s a woman walking out with next steps she believes in.”
FEMM’s approach extends beyond the appointment. When appropriate, clinicians integrate clinically informed intimacy tools to support at-home continuity between visits, keeping momentum steady without turning care into a performance. Every touchpoint reinforces the same idea: progress should be visible, supported, and personal.
“This is the clinic we wished existed,” added Cappelli. “It’s precise and empathetic. It centers a woman’s goals and builds a path that meets her where she is. No one should have to navigate intimate health alone.”
FEMM was built for the woman who is done waiting, who wants clarity instead of guesswork, who wants to feel at home in her body at every stage of life. By replacing stigma with straight talk and inertia with step-by-step care FEMM turns intention into outcome, one private consult, one personalized plan, and one documented follow-up at a time.
Media note: Editorial walk-throughs and clinician interviews are available on request.

Cindy Barshop has joined forces with Gina Cappelli and Maria Trusa to offer discreet consultations, physician guided non-surgical treatments, and a curated selection of clinically informed intimacy products.
