ESGold Receives Tilting Furnace for Montauban Gold-Silver Project, Advancing Toward Commissioning

ESGold Corp. (CSE: ESAU) (OTCQB: ESAUF) announced the delivery of a propane-fired tilting furnace to its Montauban Gold-Silver Project in Québec, marking another milestone 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 alongside previously delivered processing equipment, including Humphrey spirals and shaker tables.

The company said the furnace is expected to support future onsite melting and doré production once Montauban enters operations, complementing its 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 works toward commissioning at the fully permitted project.

The arrival of the tilting furnace is significant because it brings the Montauban project closer to becoming a fully operational mine. With the project fully permitted and funded, ESGold is positioned to begin production in 2026, which could generate early cash flow and reduce reliance on external financing. The furnace enables the company to produce doré bars onsite, eliminating the need to transport concentrates to third-party smelters and potentially improving margins.

ESGold’s dual-track strategy focuses on both near-term production from Montauban and longer-term exploration upside. The company is advancing a scalable clean mining model across North and South America, and the Montauban project serves as a flagship for this approach.
