ESGold Corp. (CSE: ESAU) (OTCQB: ESAUF) has confirmed that the Merrill Crowe closed circuit is the optimal processing path for all site feedstock at its fully permitted Montauban Gold-Silver Project in Quebec, based on recent metallurgical work. The results validate the company’s processing strategy for all material, including railway tailings, and de-risk equipment procurement while supporting ongoing mill construction, which is 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 metallurgical work was supervised by Edmond St-Jean, P.Eng., and analyzed by ALS Global in Val-d'Or. The company also noted continued infrastructure expansion, including the gold room and laboratory, and completion of advanced 3D geological modeling to guide an expanded exploration program.
“These results confirm that our processing strategy is sound and that the Merrill Crowe circuit is the right choice for maximizing recovery from all feedstocks at Montauban,” said a company spokesperson. The Montauban property, located 80 kilometers west of Quebec City, is a model for responsible mining practices, combining near-term production with district-scale discovery potential.
