Building Momentum at Montauban
Construction at the fully permitted Montauban project continues on track, with infrastructure development and building completion anticipated mid-Q4 2025. The facility is advancing toward readiness for equipment delivery and commissioning, aligning with the Company’s strategy to begin production in 2026.
Thanks to recent funding, ESGold is in a strong financial position to complete Montauban and advance its Colombia joint venture without the necessity of returning to the market for capital. Once the team arrives in Colombia for on-the-ground validation, ESGold will be fully equipped to close and execute.
In parallel with construction, ESGold is advancing exploration at Montauban. Despite over a century of historic mining, the deposit has never been systematically explored. Recent technical work has identified large, continuous geological structures extending to 1,200 meters, underscoring the district-scale potential of the property.
Why This Matters to Investors
This update reinforces ESGold’s unique position as a fully funded, fully permitted, near-term producer with significant exploration upside. Unlike most juniors that rely on continuous dilution, ESGold is advancing toward cash flow in 2026 while systematically unlocking discovery potential. The dual track model of cash flow today and discovery tomorrow positions the Company to deliver sustainable shareholder value through both near term production and long-term growth.
What’s Next
-
Concentrate test results for both Montauban and Colombia.
-
Colombia validation by ESGold’s technical team, followed by deal closure and execution.
-
Comprehensive 3D geological model of Montauban currently in progress, designed to integrate ANT survey results and guide systematic exploration.
-
Exploration at Montauban will progress to include systematic drilling to highlight the district-scale significance of the deposit.
ESGold is now fully funded and remains focused on advancing Montauban into production, with cash flow targeted for 2026. The Company’s strategy centers on completing construction at its fully permitted Quebec project, generating high-margin revenue from tailings reprocessing, and using that cash flow to fund systematic exploration across the land package. This disciplined approach minimizes dilution and compounds shareholder value over time. With Montauban as the blueprint, ESGold is building a scalable platform designed to deliver sustainable, long-term value for its shareholders.
