ESGold CEO Gordon Robb Points to 2026 as a Transformative Year for Montauban Project

ESGold Corp. (CSE: ESAU) (OTCQB: ESAUF) CEO Gordon Robb has identified 2026 as a pivotal year for the company, emphasizing that the development-stage miner has laid the groundwork for significant operational milestones at its flagship Montauban Gold-Silver Project in Quebec. In a recent appearance on The MiningNewsWire Podcast, Robb detailed the company's progress, including the completion of a C$7.2 million financing round and the ongoing construction of a 20,000-square-foot processing facility.

Robb stated that the company has secured all necessary equipment and is rapidly advancing construction at the Montauban site, with an aim to begin operations this year. The CEO noted that 2026 marks a transition from preparatory work to active resource extraction, calling it a "very big year" for ESGold. The Montauban project, which hosts gold and silver mineralization, is central to the company's growth strategy, and the upcoming milestones include the commencement of milling and the release of a maiden resource estimate.

The financing, which involved the sale of 10,683,000 units at C$0.68 per unit, has provided the capital required to fund the facility and equipment. ESGold has been focused on de-risking the project through systematic exploration and engineering, positioning the company to move from development into production. The podcast appearance underscored management's confidence in the project's economics and the broader outlook for precious metals.
