ESGold Corp. (CSE: ESAU) (OTCQB: ESAUF) announced the delivery of a propane-fired tilting furnace to its Montauban Gold-Silver Project in Québec, signaling continued progress in the company’s construction and commissioning preparation activities. The furnace, designed for high-temperature melting applications and capable of handling up to 150 kilograms of metal, will form part of the project’s onsite precious metals handling and doré pouring infrastructure. It joins previously delivered processing equipment, including Humphrey spirals and shaker tables, as ESGold works toward bringing the fully permitted project into operation.
The furnace is expected to support future onsite melting and doré production once Montauban enters operations, complementing the planned gold and silver recovery circuit that includes Merrill-Crowe processing. ESGold continues to advance installation and integration of key processing components, development of precious metals handling infrastructure, and gold room preparations as it moves toward commissioning. The company has positioned Montauban as a scalable clean mining model, with production anticipated in 2026.
For business and technology leaders, this development underscores the tangible progress being made in the mining sector toward modernizing precious metals recovery. The receipt of the tilting furnace represents a critical infrastructure milestone that brings ESGold closer to generating cash flow from its flagship asset. With the project fully permitted and funded, the company is executing on a dual-track strategy of near-term production and long-term exploration, aiming to deliver shareholder value while maintaining a focus on sustainable practices.
The Montauban project’s integration of advanced processing equipment, such as the tilting furnace and Merrill-Crowe circuit, highlights the industry’s shift toward efficient, onsite precious metals handling. This reduces reliance on third-party smelters and potentially lowers operational costs and turnaround times for doré production. For investors and industry observers, the commissioning timeline and ability to achieve first production in 2026 will be key metrics to watch.
ESGold Corp. is a fully permitted, pre-production mining company advancing a scalable clean mining model across North and South America. The company’s flagship Montauban Gold-Silver Project in Quebec is under construction with production anticipated in 2026. With a dual-track strategy of cash flow today and discovery tomorrow, ESGold is building a platform for clean, sustainable growth and long-term shareholder value.
