ESGold Corp. (CSE: ESAU) (OTCQB: ESAUF) has announced a significant expansion of its land holdings in Québec’s Montauban region, entering into binding agreements to acquire 44 mineral claims totaling approximately 2,448 hectares. The acquisition, valued at $70,000 in cash and 600,000 shares of ESGold common stock (valued at $300,000), is subject to customary closing conditions and will expand the company’s contiguous position around its flagship Montauban Gold-Silver Project.
This strategic move underscores ESGold’s commitment to consolidating its footprint in the region, which is known for its gold and silver potential.

The transaction highlights the company’s dual-track strategy of generating cash flow from near-term production while pursuing exploration upside. According to the company, the newly acquired claims are adjacent to existing holdings, providing operational synergies and potential for resource expansion. The acquisition is financed through a combination of cash and equity, reflecting the company’s commitment to maintaining a strong balance sheet.
ESGold Corp. is a fully permitted, fully funded, pre-production mining company that is advancing a scalable clean mining model. The company’s focus on environmentally responsible extraction aligns with growing demand for sustainable mining practices.
