ESGold Corp. Reports Promising Metallurgical Results from Colombian Gold Recovery Project
ESGold Corp. announced positive initial metallurgical test results from its Colombian tailings project, demonstrating significant gold recovery potential using environmentally friendly gravity separation methods without chemical reagents.
ESGold Corp. (CSE: ESAU) (OTCQB: ESAUF) has reported encouraging initial metallurgical results from Deister table tests conducted on bulk tailings samples collected in Colombia's Bolívar region. The testing was performed under the company's Planta Magdalena memorandum of understanding and represents a significant step forward in the development of what could become a scalable, low-impact gold and silver recovery operation.
The bench-scale work, supervised by qualified engineer Edmond St-Jean, confirmed the material's amenability to simple gravity separation techniques. Test results revealed mean feed grades of approximately 4.88 grams per ton gold and 35.7 grams per ton silver, with gold recoveries reaching up to 52% without the use of chemical reagents. This achievement is particularly noteworthy as it demonstrates the potential for efficient metal extraction while minimizing environmental impact through reduced chemical usage.
Gordon Robb, CEO of ESGold, emphasized the importance of these findings, stating that the results validate the company's clean, low-reagent process design. The successful demonstration of gravity separation without chemical additives highlights strong potential economics as ESGold advances toward pilot testing and optimization phases. The company's approach aligns with growing industry and regulatory emphasis on sustainable mining practices and reduced environmental footprint.
The positive metallurgical results from Colombia's Bolívar region come as ESGold continues to advance its broader portfolio of mining projects. The company maintains its commitment to sustainable resource recovery and exploration, with its flagship Montauban property in Quebec serving as a model for responsible mining practices.

These initial results from the Colombian project have broader implications for the mining industry's approach to tailings reprocessing and environmental stewardship. The demonstrated ability to achieve meaningful gold recovery rates without chemical reagents could set a new standard for sustainable mining operations, particularly in regions where environmental concerns are paramount. As ESGold moves forward with pilot testing and optimization, the industry will be watching closely to see if these promising bench-scale results can be successfully scaled to commercial operations while maintaining both economic viability and environmental responsibility.
