ESGold Corp. (CSE: ESAU) (OTCQB: ESAUF) has entered into two definitive agreements to acquire 44 mineral claims covering approximately 2,448 hectares in Québec’s Montauban region. The acquisitions expand the company's district-scale land position surrounding the Montauban Gold-Silver Project, adding prospective ground with historical gold, silver, copper and zinc mineralization. This move supports ESGold’s strategy of consolidating the broader Montauban mineralized corridor and advancing toward production.
The newly acquired claims provide ESGold with a 100% interest for total consideration of $70,000 in cash and 600,000 common shares, with no retained royalty. The company plans to incorporate these claims into its district-scale exploration strategy, combining historical exploration data with geological, geochemical, geophysical and Ambient Noise Tomography datasets. This approach aims to evaluate potential extensions of known mineralized trends and identify additional exploration targets, further de-risking the project and enhancing its resource base.
The Montauban Gold-Silver Project, ESGold’s flagship asset, is fully permitted and fully funded, with construction underway and production anticipated in 2026. The project is part of a broader clean mining model that the company is advancing across North and South America. ESGold’s dual-track strategy focuses on generating cash flow from near-term production while pursuing exploration for long-term discovery, positioning the company for sustainable growth and shareholder value.
According to the company, the acquisitions align with its vision of building a platform for clean, sustainable mining. The Montauban region is known for its historical mining activity, and ESGold aims to leverage modern exploration techniques to unlock its full potential. The addition of these claims strengthens the company’s position in the district and provides a pipeline of targets for future drilling.
