ESGold Corp. (CSE: ESAU) (OTCQB: ESAUF) announced the delivery of a propane-fired tilting furnace at its Montauban Gold-Silver Project in Quebec, a significant infrastructure milestone as the company advances toward commissioning the site. The furnace, which features a hydraulic tilting system, supporting crucibles, and thermocouple temperature monitoring, can safely hold and melt up to 150 kilograms of metal and handle temperatures up to 1300°C (https://nnw.fm/lqfW9). This equipment will support on-site melting and casting of gold and silver into doré bars as part of the company’s planned precious metal recovery circuit.
The furnace is a crucial component of ESGold’s strategy to operationalize the Montauban site, which includes the Merrill-Crowe process for recovering precious metals from permitted tailings material. Since April, the company has received and continues to receive infrastructure and equipment, engaging in activities that prepare the site for commissioning. The receipt of this furnace marks another step forward in the company's efforts to become a producer of gold and silver doré bars.
ESGold is a development-stage company committed to the acquisition, exploration, and development of high-quality mineral properties worldwide. The Montauban Gold-Silver Project is a key asset in the company's portfolio, and the recent furnace delivery underscores the progress being made toward operational readiness. The ability to melt and cast gold and silver on site is expected to reduce transportation costs and improve efficiency in the production process.
