ESGold Receives Tilting Furnace for Montauban Gold-Silver Project, Advancing Toward Commissioning
ESGold Corp. has received a propane-fired tilting furnace for its Montauban Gold-Silver Project in Québec, marking progress in construction and commissioning preparations for the fully permitted project.
ESGold Corp. (CSE: ESAU) (OTCQB: ESAUF) has announced the delivery of a propane-fired tilting furnace to its Montauban Gold-Silver Project in Québec, a key step in the company’s construction and commissioning preparation activities. The furnace, capable of handling up to 150 kilograms of metal, will be part of the project’s onsite precious metals handling and doré pouring infrastructure, complementing previously delivered processing equipment such as Humphrey spirals and shaker tables.
The furnace is expected to support future onsite melting and doré production once Montauban enters operations. It will integrate with the planned gold and silver recovery circuit that includes Merrill-Crowe processing, a method widely used for precipitating gold and silver from cyanide solutions. ESGold continues to advance installation and integration of key processing components, development of precious metals handling infrastructure, and gold room preparations as it works toward commissioning at the fully permitted project.
The Montauban project, located in Québec, is ESGold’s flagship asset and is under construction with production anticipated in 2026. The company describes itself as a fully permitted, fully funded, pre-production mining company advancing a scalable clean mining model across North and South America. Its dual-track strategy aims to generate cash flow while pursuing discovery opportunities, building a platform for sustainable growth and long-term shareholder value.
The arrival of the tilting furnace marks a milestone in the project’s development, bringing ESGold closer to its goal of becoming a producing miner. The furnace’s high-temperature melting capabilities are critical for converting recovered gold and silver into doré bars, a standard form for precious metals sale. This infrastructure, combined with the existing processing equipment, positions the project to efficiently handle material once operations begin.
ESGold’s progress on the Montauban project comes as the mining sector focuses on near-term production opportunities. With the project fully permitted and funded, the company is well-positioned to capitalize on current gold and silver prices. The successful integration of the furnace and other equipment will be closely watched by investors tracking the company’s path to production.
