ESGold Corp. (CSE: ESAU) (OTCQB: ESAUF) has announced that metallurgical testing at its Montauban Gold-Silver Project in Quebec confirms the Merrill Crowe closed circuit as the optimal processing path for all site feedstock, including railway tailings. The results, supervised by Edmond St-Jean, P.Eng., and analyzed by ALS Global in Val-d'Or, de-risk equipment procurement and support ongoing mill construction, which is reportedly ahead of schedule.
Gravity separation tests indicated that concentrate grades were insufficient for direct gold and silver pouring, leading to the conclusion that all material will be processed through the Merrill Crowe system during the final construction phase. The company emphasized that this validation aligns with its processing strategy and reinforces the project's development timeline.
ESGold also noted continued infrastructure expansion, including the gold room and laboratory, and the completion of advanced 3D geological modeling to guide an expanded exploration program. The Montauban property, located 80 kilometers west of Quebec City, is fully permitted and serves as a model for responsible mining practices, combining near-term production with district-scale discovery potential.
