ESGold Corp. (CSE: ESAU) (OTCQB: ESAUF) has confirmed that metallurgical work at its fully permitted Montauban Gold-Silver Project in Quebec validates the company's processing strategy for all site feedstock, including railway tailings. The testing confirmed the Merrill Crowe closed circuit as the optimal processing path for the project, representing a significant milestone in the company's development timeline.
Gravity separation tests conducted during the metallurgical analysis revealed that concentrate grades were insufficient for direct gold and silver pouring. This finding led to the confirmation that all material will be processed through the Merrill Crowe system during the final construction phase. The results, supervised by Edmond St-Jean, P.Eng., and analyzed by ALS Global in Val-d'Or, provide critical technical validation for the company's operational approach.
The confirmation of the Merrill Crowe system as the optimal processing method de-risks equipment procurement and supports ongoing mill construction, which the company reports is ahead of schedule. This development is particularly significant for investors and stakeholders as it removes technical uncertainty around processing methods and provides clearer visibility into project economics and timeline.
ESGold also noted continued infrastructure expansion at the Montauban site, including progress on the gold room and laboratory facilities. The company has completed advanced 3D geological modeling that will guide an expanded exploration program, suggesting additional resource potential beyond the current project scope.
