A New Mining Model Built for Speed, Scale and Profit

NEW YORK, July 17, 2025 /CNW/ -- For years, the mining industry has revolved around high-risk, capital-intensive exploration, where the odds of success are slim—often it's a one-in-a-thousand discovery that leads to a viable operation, with the majority of junior miners never making it to production. In addition, investors are frequently diluted, and project timelines can extend over decades. At scale, most mining ventures are unattractive to investors due to their cyclical nature, massive capital requirements, and significant permitting and execution challenges. ESGold Corp. (CSE: ESAU) (OTCQB: ESAUF) (Profile) is taking a different approach. Rather than pursuing speculative exploration, ESGold focuses on reviving past-producing or legacy-mining sites — locations with established resource volumes, historical grades and existing infrastructure. These sites weren't abandoned due to resource depletion or economic infeasibility, but rather because prior operators lacked the necessary resources to fully realize their potential. With gold prices at historic highs and demand for minerals across the board surging, this is an opportune moment for experienced, well-capitalized companies to secure their place in a revitalized market that's drawing renewed attention from Wall Street. ESGold is focused on becoming a key player in a high-quality group of mineral miners, including Teck Resources Ltd. (NYSE: TECK) (TSX: TECK), Alamos Gold Inc. (NYSE: AGI) (TSX: AGI), Pan American Silver Corp. (NYSE: PAAS) (TSX: PAAS) and Newmont Corp. (NYSE: NEM) (TSX: NGT). While bullion has been a safe haven, today's investors are demanding more — they're looking for leverage, scalability and consistent cash flow. ESGold has crafted a scalable, repeatable business model designed to generate steady cash flow by starting with low-cost, low-impact reprocessing of tailings. ESGold has established a strong track record of execution while building a scalable mining platform centered on clean technology and environmental restoration ESGold's Montauban Project, now fully permitted and actively under construction, represents a key turning point as the company shifts from exploration to production. The company's newly appointed CEO brings a strong combination of financial expertise and resource-sector insight. Click here to view the custom infographic of the ESGold Corp. editorial. Capitalizing on the Shift Gold prices are reaching historic highs ( U.S. national debt continues to climb ( and central banks are purchasing gold at record-breaking levels ( But while bullion is a safe haven, today's investors are demanding more — they're looking for leverage, scalability and consistent cash flow. The opportunity in the mineral sector is evolving, and it looks unlike anything we've seen before. ESGold Corp. (CSE: ESAU) (OTCQB: ESAUF) is capitalizing on this shift. Leveraging modern technology, high commodity prices and a strong push for environmental solutions, ESGold's strategy focuses on extracting value from legacy tailings — efficiently, sustainably and with minimal costs. There are no speculative drilling efforts, no decade-long waits for permits. Instead, ESGold offers a low-capex model with short project timelines and clear, measurable economics. And ESGold's mission goes beyond profitability. While delivering strong margins, the company is actively contributing to environmental remediation, turning waste into value and leaving sites cleaner than before. And because its process can be replicated, ESGold isn't just developing a single project — it's building a scalable business model. Wall Street values platforms that can grow and fund themselves, and ESGold is doing just that: generating cash flow, reinvesting in expansion, and transforming overlooked assets into modern producers. The company is already fully permitted, under construction, and expects to pour both gold and silver within the next two quarters. This is not traditional mining. It's a forward-thinking model designed to align with institutional capital, clean-tech goals, operational discipline, and — above all — profitability. Built to Scale with Repeat Potential ESGold has crafted a scalable, repeatable business model designed to generate steady cash flow by starting with low-cost, low-impact reprocessing of tailings. The company then reinvests those profits into acquiring and exploring legacy mining projects that meet its strict criteria for low capital expenditure and high-margin potential. At the center of this strategy is ESGold's flagship Montauban Project in Quebec ( a fully permitted site with infrastructure already in place, including a gravity separation circuit approved to process up to 1,000 tonnes per day of historical tailings. The company anticipates producing gold, silver and mica as soon as late 2025 or early 2026. With processing costs as low as C$29.83 per tonne and a minimal environmental footprint, the project is set to generate strong free cash flow while remediating long-neglected sites ( Importantly, ESGold is not stopping there. It's channeling that cash flow directly into targeted, district-scale exploration efforts. The company holds over 32,000 acres (13,000 hectares) of mineral claims and is conducting modern geophysical work, including Ambient Noise Tomography (ANT) scans that reach depths of more than 800 meters. This systematic approach provides consistent funding for uncovering and developing high-grade legacy resources. As CEO Gordon Robb explains, ESGold has "laid the foundation for something extraordinary" ( This approach is built for scale, with the potential to be repeated across the estimated 500,000+ legacy mine and tailings sites in North America ( By focusing first on low-capex tailings reprocessing, then using the returns to expand its portfolio through exploration and acquisition, ESGold aligns profitability with sustainability, environmental cleanup, and long-term growth. Execution Track Record, Scalable Platform ESGold has established a strong track record of execution while building a scalable gold and silver mining platform centered on clean technology and environmental restoration. Its business model is underpinned by a focused leadership team and supported by a policy environment that increasingly prioritizes global sustainability objectives. At the Montauban Project, ESGold is developing a gravity-based processing facility for historical tailings and investigating alternative extraction methods that avoid the use of cyanide. This low-impact, environmentally conscious approach aims to remediate legacy waste while generating cash flow without shareholder dilution, laying the groundwork for reinvestment in exploration and the redevelopment of additional assets ( The company is also working closely with government agencies at both the Quebec and Canadian federal levels to secure nondilutive funding that would help finance construction, purchase equipment and support expansion. This funding strategy aligns with local incentives promoting clean industries and broader sustainability initiatives ( Through these collaborative efforts, ESGold anticipates creating up to 30 direct jobs, along with supporting positions in exploration and drilling, reinforcing its long-term vision for responsible and sustainable resource development. Positioned to Move Swiftly ESGold's Montauban Project in Quebec has reached a pivotal stage, now fully permitted and actively under construction — a key turning point as the company shifts from exploration toward near-term production. With more than 60% of the required infrastructure already built and C$3.4 million in secured financing supporting the final construction and mill assembly, ESGold is positioned to move swiftly into gravity-based tailings processing. This approach not only lowers regulatory risk but also shortens the timeline to its first gold and silver output ( By May 2025, ESGold had completed the delivery and installation of critical gravity separation components, including Humphrey spiral concentrators, which form the heart of its chemical-free processing circuit. Designed to handle up to 1,000 tonnes per day of historic tailings, the system is engineered to recover gold, silver and saleable mica, setting the stage for a clean, environmentally sustainable pilot production phase. Construction momentum has continued. Since late June, the company expanded its mine facility to 4,000 square feet, doubling its size to house essential operational features such as control rooms, processing laboratories, staff facilities and a secure "gold room" for on-site storage of recovered metals ( This expansion underscores ESGold's commitment to scaled execution and smart capital deployment. To complement this physical progress, on-site testing of the spiral circuit concentrate is currently underway. The company is also conducting metallurgical assays and preparing updated geophysical surveys, which will help refine downstream recovery methods and guide further exploration planning ( Serving as a prototype for fast-tracked, low-impact resource development, the Montauban Project presents a fully permitted, under-construction example of ESGold's broader strategy. It offers a lower-risk path to gold and silver production by year-end, while validating the company's scalable, environmentally responsible model. With regulatory hurdles cleared and infrastructure rapidly advancing, ESGold is demonstrating its readiness to replicate this success across legacy mining sites throughout the Americas. Entering Production, Uncovering Potential ESGold is quickly advancing from development to revenue generation, with initial gold and silver production imminent at its fully permitted Montauban Project. This marks a key achievement in the company's two-pronged approach: launching a low-capex, gravity-based tailings operation while simultaneously scaling up its exploration efforts. The strategy is designed so that revenue from operations can be reinvested directly into discovery and expansion across the broader Montauban property. Fueling ESGold's exploration strategy is Ambient Noise Tomography (ANT), an advanced, noninvasive seismic imaging method. ANT utilizes sensitive geophones to capture both natural and human-made ground vibrations, building 3D models of subsurface structures without the need for active seismic sources ( Unlike conventional seismic techniques, ANT records ambient energy and processes it into deep imaging data, enabling visualization of geological features at depths exceeding 800 meters — twice the range initially planned. This capability helps ESGold identify important structural formations, such as repeated layers, lens-shaped bodies, and deeper mineralized zones that previous drilling could not reach. As ESGold awaits the final ANT results, there is strong potential for confirmation of a district-scale volcanogenic massive sulfide (VMS) system at Montauban. Preliminary geophysical surveys have already revealed a significant magnetic and conductive anomaly in the property's southwestern section, which supports the VMS hypothesis ( Should the ANT data confirm this, ESGold will have clear, high-priority drill targets and a refined 3D geological model that incorporates ANT imaging alongside historical assay and VTEM data, accelerating its resource definition efforts. In summary, ESGold is poised not only to enter its first phase of production but also to uncover major new mineral potential. With cash flow from tailings processing on the horizon and powerful imaging tools guiding exploration, the company is positioned at a critical juncture — generating near-term revenue while pursuing what could be a substantial mineral discovery. Key Executive Leadership in Place Gordon Robb, the newly appointed CEO of ESGold, brings a strong combination of financial expertise and resource-sector insight to lead the company through its upcoming production and growth stages. With more than 10 years of experience in global capital markets, Robb's background aligns well with ESGold's strategy to scale environmentally responsible mining initiatives ( His skills in structuring sophisticated deals and handling investor communications are expected to play a critical role as the company transitions into a near-term producer with a focus on long-term scalability. Prior to joining ESGold, Robb held the position of business development and investor relations manager at Scottie Resources. There, he was instrumental in securing capital and strengthening shareholder relations. Under his guidance, the company improved its investor messaging and obtained key funding, highlighting Robb's strategic approach to financial growth. Those who worked with him at Scottie credit him with significantly shaping the company's financial health and enhancing its credibility in the marketplace. Now at ESGold, Robb steps into a leadership role overseeing a fully permitted, environmentally conscious operation centered on the Montauban tailings project, which is currently under construction. "The Montauban Project is fully permitted, construction is well underway and a major discovery opportunity is unfolding alongside the tailings-to-cash flow model," Robb said. "We are building what the market has long been waiting for — a replicable, scalable, clean mining company that delivers returns through both production and discovery, while minimizing environmental and permitting risk." Robb's experience in finance, his proven success in capital markets and his strategic leadership are key assets as ESGold works to deliver on its dual-track approach: generating near-term revenue from tailings reprocessing and pursuing district-scale exploration of legacy mining sites. His appointment sends a clear message to investors and stakeholders that ESGold has the executive leadership required to execute its strategy with precision and foresight. Mining Majors Advance Projects, Attract Investors The global mining sector continues to evolve through major project expansions, strategic mergers and impactful community investments.

ESGold's (ESAU) (ESAUF) Gold-Silver Project - Risk-Off in a Risky Industry

Vancouver, Kelowna, and Delta, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - July 16, 2025) - a global investor news source covering mining and metals stocks issues a snapshot of fully permitted, pre-production gold and silver miner ESGold Corp. (CSE: ESAU) (OTCQB: ESAUF) (FSE: Z7D) and its strategy from its founding fifteen years ago, to minimize risk for its shareholders. ESGold Gold-Silver Project To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit: The Management From choosing a property that could fast-track to production, to attracting the right management, to a funding strategy that was less dilutive, founder and former CEO, Paul Mastantuono, embedded the philosophy of protecting the shareholders from inception into the Company. Mastantuono now continues to serve as Chairman of the Board while also taking on the role of Chief Operating Officer. Mastantuono told in a recent Exploring Mining Podcast that, "In 2010 we put together a group of family/friends investors with an idea of building an asset that we could fast-track and get a mining project up and running into production; creating value for shareholders for a long time." Taking his vision to a pivotal point nearing production, Mastantuono, thinking as a shareholder, felt it was the right time to bring a leader on board that could take the company to the next level. New CEO, Gordon Robb, possesses more than ten years of expertise in investment banking, fixed income trading, and capital markets within the mining sector. Most recently, he held the position of Business Development and Investor Relations Manager at Scottie Resources (TSXV: SCOT.V), where he played a pivotal role in securing funding for the company and driving effective shareholder communication strategies. Previously, Robb occupied senior positions at prominent global financial firms, including ICAP in Hong Kong, BGC Partners (once a division of Cantor Fitzgerald), and the TMX Group. In these roles, he managed complex fixed income instruments for major institutional clients worldwide. His career has taken him to key financial hubs, including Hong Kong, London, New York, and Dubai, placing him at the forefront of global capital markets and international investment activities. Gordon Robb also shares the shareholder philosophy of Paul Mastantuono, a lesson deeply rooted in his years at Scottie Resources. He recently shared with host Cali Van Zant on an Exploring Mining Podcast, "I was very fortunate to work with Scottie Resources and the CEO, Brad Rourke. Brad was an investor first and saw how money was being spent and ended up taking over the company. To see a company run by an investor, worried about dilution, making sure the shareholders were put first consistently, is a skill I plan on taking forward with ESGold." ESGold also announced the addition of Mr. Peter Espig to the Board of Directors in May as part of its production strategy moving forward. Espig is an experienced capital markets and mining executive with a proven history of success in project financing, corporate restructuring, and guiding junior companies to become cash-flow positive producers. The Property Montauban, situated 80 km west of Quebec City, serves as a model for redeveloping legacy sites into cash-flow-generating projects throughout North America. Talking about its Gold-Silver Project and the risk strategy in choosing it, Mastantuono said, "We wanted to focus on a very different model. Finding a property like Montauban, where it had low hanging fruit, with a million metric tons of tailings made it very simple. It was above ground, no cost exploration; no risk. "We could see it, we could touch it, and we could walk on it. We didn't have to spend millions of dollars to find out where it is and what we have. "It was simple; just process the material and then we have cash flow and then from the cash flow model - take the money and invest it into the ground. We want to tap into what is potentially underground," CEO Gordon Robb said to Investorideas, "We're not just exploring first and going down the same path as most exploration companies do. It is move into production quickly and first generate cash flow and then use that money to go back and explore." In June, the company announced a milestone towards its goal of production. ESGold reported a significant expansion of its Montauban Project mine building to support the Company's transition into gold and silver production. Originally planned at approximately 2,000 square feet, the building is now being expanded to 4,000 square feet to accommodate enhanced operational needs and support infrastructure. More recently ESGold made a major announcement on the Montauban Project, making the potential even bigger than originally anticipated. From the news: The company announced the results of its recent Ambient Noise Tomography (ANT) survey operated by Caur Technologies at the Montauban Gold-Silver Project in Quebec. The preliminary interpretation of this advanced seismic imaging has revealed multiple deep-seated geological structures, suggesting that the Montauban system may extend far beyond its historically mined zones — opening the door to a potential district scale mineral system. Originally scoped to map subsurface structures to 400 metres, the ANT survey exceeded expectations — imaging to depths of 1,200 metres and revealing a vertically extensive, laterally continuous geological system. These findings suggest that Montauban may represent a district-scale Volcanogenic Massive Sulphide (VMS) environment, rather than a singular deposit, with structural and lithological features consistent with some of the most prolific mining camps globally. Key Highlights: Imaging Unveiled to Depths of 1,200 Meters: ANT survey has revealed deep-seated structural zones potentially hosting stacked mineralized lenses - a breakthrough for exploration at Montauban. New Interpretation Supports District-Scale Opportunity: Montauban may represent a clustered VMS system with structural repetition and geological similarities to world-class deposits like Sweden's Skellefte district. North-Central Feeder Zone Emerges: Strong contrast between high-velocity basement in the north and structurally complex southern domains presents multiple potential discovery targets; while the southern area shows more structural complexity - both priority areas for high-value targeting. Historic Assays + VTEM + ANT = Advanced Model Underway: The ongoing 3D geological model will integrate over 950 historic drill holes results, 2015 VTEM survey data, and this new deep seismic imaging to identify next-generation discovery zones. André Gauthier, Director of the Company, added: "We now believe Montauban may be far more than a single deposit — it is emerging as a deep, district-scale system with possible structural and geological continuity," said André Gauthier, as a director of exploration. "These results may place Montauban into a new category of exploration potential. Where previous generations saw a series of shallow pods, we now see the signature of a vertically integrated mineral system — potentially with stacked, repeating lenses akin to those in VMS system or Broken Hill-style districts. We're seeing signatures that resemble the structural architecture of globally significant systems, but we are still in the early stage of exploration." "Montauban is no longer just a development story — it's a discovery story in the making," said Gordon Robb, CEO of ESGold. "This survey has fundamentally changed the way we understand this special deposit. The continuity, depth, and scale of the structures we're seeing suggest that the original mine was just the tip of the iceberg. As we build toward production from the tailings, we're simultaneously unlocking the blue-sky potential beneath. This data confirms Montauban may be just the first chapter in a much larger district-scale opportunity, and we're excited to share that story with the world." Full news: The ESG Factor For mining companies one of the biggest risks and hurdles is the environmental challenges they face in taking a mine to production. The Montauban Property offers a distinctive opportunity to convert legacy tailings into valuable resources through modern milling techniques, while promoting environmental restoration. Chairman Paul Mastantuono explained to Exploring Mining,"Today you need to be socially responsible but it is beyond that with the Government's new mining acts checks and balances. It's a challenge, but it's not rocket science. "The material left behind is an aggregate; a rock. If you have a rock processed at a quarry, different granulation sizes; there is a value to that. In this case the rock is considered waste because of the way it was treated. "If we are able to reprocess it and neutralize it, then you have a material that is worth a lot of money in the industry. What we are able to do is create a byproduct that is 100% reusable, and that makes us full circle ESG. "And more importantly we don't have to manage a tailings pond." The Risk Chief Executive Officer, Gordon Robb, said to Investorideas, "What investors are looking for is risk-off. That is why ESGold is so exciting to me. We are fully permitted, very close to production with a mill on-site and tailings piles ready to be processed. "We just have a few more steps to get there; start producing, be cash flow positive and then funnel that money into exploration, where we don't need to go the market with our hand out. "This is not the dilution model that so many other exploration companies have being doing over the past 30-40 years. "It's risk-off in a risky industry." Learn more about ESGold Corp.

A New Mining Model Is Emerging -- And Wall Street Is Paying Attention

NetworkNewsWire Editorial Coverage NEW YORK, July 15, 2025 /CNW/ -- For decades, mining has been defined by high-risk, high-capex exploration, where success hinges on one-in-a-thousand discoveries. Most juniors never reach production. Investors face dilution. Timelines stretch into decades. Most mining companies are uninvestable at scale because they are capital destroyers, cyclical and heavy capex, with high permitting and execution risk. ESGold Corp. (CSE: ESAU) (OTCQB: ESAUF) (Profile) is challenging that model. Instead of chasing theory, ESGold is redeveloping past-producing or legacy mine sites — sites with known volumes, historical grades and existing infrastructure. These are assets left behind not because they were depleted or economically unviable but because previous owners and operators lacked the resources and technology to develop them. With gold at an all-time high and demand for all types of minerals booming, now is the time for companies with the experience, insight and capital to position themselves in a market where potential has never been more promising and Wall Street has never been more interested. ESGold joins an elite group of mineral miners, including BHP Group Ltd. (NYSE: BHP), Barrick Mining Corporation (NYSE: GOLD), Franco-Nevada Corp. (NYSE: FNV) and Kinross Gold Corp. (NYSE: KGC) that are leveraging their expertise to make the most of this golden opportunity. For investors, bullion isn't enough — Wall Street wants leverage, scalability and cash flow. ESGold has developed a highly scalable, repeatable cash‑flow model that begins with low‑cost, low‑footprint tailings reprocessing and leverages the proceeds to fuel exploration and acquisition of legacy projects. The company has demonstrated proven execution and robust platform potential, leveraging clean processing and environmental remediation. ESGold's Montauban Project is now fully permitted and firmly under construction, marking a major milestone in the company's evolution from exploration to near-term production. ESGold's newly appointed CEO brings a compelling blend of finance expertise and resource-sector acumen to guide the company into its production and expansion phase. Click here to view the custom infographic of the ESGold Corp. editorial. A Different Opportunity Gold is hitting all-time highs ( U.S. debt is surging ( and central banks are buying more gold than at any point in history ( But for investors, bullion isn't enough — Wall Street wants leverage, scalability and cash flow. Today, the opportunity in the minerals space looks different than it ever has. With modern technology, elevated metals prices and environmental incentives, ESGold Corp.'s (CSE: ESAU) (OTCQB: ESAUF) model is to unlock value from legacy tailings — quickly, cleanly, and at low cost. No high-risk drilling campaigns. No decade-long permits. Just low capex, fast timelines and tangible economics. And that's not all. While extracting high margins, ESGold is also committed to cleaning up the environment. And because the approach is repeatable, this isn't just a mine — it's a scalable platform. Wall Street loves scalable models. ESGold provides exactly that: a system that generates cash flow, funds its own growth and turns forgotten sites into modern producers. ESGold is fully permitted, under construction, and on track to pour gold and silver within the next two quarters. This isn't the old mining story. It's a new chapter, one that aligns with institutional capital, clean-tech mandates, disciplined execution and, most importantly, profitability. Cash-Flow Model Built to Scale ESGold has developed a highly scalable, repeatable cash‑flow model that begins with low‑cost, low‑footprint tailings reprocessing and leverages the proceeds to fuel exploration and acquisition of legacy projects that meet its low‑capex, high‑margin criteria. The company's flagship Montauban Project in Quebec exemplifies this model ( With fully permitted infrastructure and a gravity separation circuit permitted for processing up to 1,000 tonnes per day of historic tailings, ESGold expects near-term gold, silver and mica production by late 2025 or early 2026. With processing costs at just C$29.83 per tonne and minimal environmental impact, the model generates robust free cash flow while cleaning up legacy sites ( Crucially, ESGold intentionally redirects this cash into systematic, district‑scale exploration. With more than 32,000 acres (or 13,000 hectares) of mineral claims and modern geophysical work, including Ambient Noise Tomography (ANT) scans to depths of 800-plus meters underway, the approach provides defined funding for discovering and expanding high‑grade legacy deposits. As CEO Gordon Robb states, the company has "laid the foundation for something extraordinary" ( This blueprint is built for replication across North America's estimated 500,000+ legacy mine and tailings sites ( By capitalizing on existing low‑capex tailings reprocessing before allocating proceeds to exploration or acquisition of new legacy deposits, ESGold's model aligns operational profitability with sustainability and environmental stewardship. Proven Execution, Platform Potential ESGold has demonstrated proven execution and robust platform potential, leveraging clean processing and environmental remediation to build a scalable gold and silver mining model. That foundation is reinforced by a focused leadership team and a favorable policy climate aligned with global sustainability goals. At its Montauban project, ESGold is advancing a gravity-based tailings processing facility, while exploring non-cyanide environmentally friendly extraction methods. This low-footprint, environmentally friendly operation is designed to clean up legacy tailings while generating nondilutive cash flow, setting the stage for redeployment into further exploration and redevelopment efforts ( In addition, the company is actively engaging with Quebec and Canadian governments, seeking nondilutive funding to support construction, equipment purchase and expansion, an approach that dovetails with regional clean industry incentives and sustainability mandates ( Through these partnerships, ESGold expects to create 20–30 direct jobs, plus additional roles in drilling and exploration, while affirming its commitment to sustainable resource stewardship. Permitted and Under Construction ESGold's Quebec-based Montauban Project is now fully permitted and firmly under construction, marking a major milestone in the company's evolution from exploration to near-term production. With more than 60% of the project's infrastructure already in place, financing has been secured, including a C$3.4 million raise, to initiate the final construction phase and mill assembly. This foundational work positions ESGold to transition decisively into gravity-based tailings processing, significantly reducing regulatory risk and accelerating the timeline to first gold and silver output ( In May 2025, ESGold completed the delivery and installation of key gravity separation equipment, including Humphrey spiral concentrators, which finalize the core processing circuit. Designed to handle up to 1,000 tonnes per day of historical tailings without chemical reagents, this system will recover gold, silver, and marketable mica, laying the groundwork for a clean, environmentally friendly pilot operation. Since late June, the team has expanded the Montauban mine building to 4,000 square feet, doubling its original size to accommodate personnel, control rooms, processing labs and a secure "gold room" for gold and silver storage, further evidencing serious capital deployment and operational scale-up ( Complementing the construction progress, onsite testing of spiral circuit concentrate is now underway, with metallurgical assays and updated geophysical surveys expected soon to optimize downstream recovery and exploration planning ( As a test-pilot model for fast-tracked, low-impact resource redevelopment, the fully permitted and under-construction Montauban Project offers a derisked path to production by year-end. It simultaneously validates ESGold's scalable, environmentally aligned platform — poised for expansion across the Americas — by demonstrating successful regulatory navigation, strategic infrastructure investment and operational readiness at scale. Cash Flow in Sight, Discovery Around the Corner ESGold is rapidly moving from project development to cash-flow generation, with first gold and silver production at the fully permitted Montauban Project. This milestone will complete the company's dual-track strategy — launching low-capex, gravity-based tailings processing while scaling up systematic exploration — so that operating revenues can directly fund discovery efforts across the broader property. The company's exploration engine is powered by Ambient Noise Tomography (ANT), a nonintrusive seismic imaging technique that captures natural and anthropogenic ground vibrations using highly sensitive geophones to map subsurface structures in 3D ( Unlike traditional seismic surveys, ANT passively records ambient seismic energy and converts it into deep-imaging models, enabling visualization up to depths of 800-plus meters, double the originally planned scope. This advanced deep-imaging capability allows ESGold to pinpoint structural repetitions, lens-like zones and deep-seated mineralized bodies beyond the reach of historical drilling. Pending the release of ANT results, ESGold could validate the presence of a district-scale volcanogenic massive sulfide (VMS) system at Montauban. Preliminary geophysical work has already identified a major conductive and magnetic anomaly in the southwestern portion of the property, reinforcing the VMS thesis ( If confirmed, this validation will support high-priority drilling targets and bolster a 3D geological model that combines ANT data with historical assay and VTEM records, paving the way for accelerated resource delineation. In essence, ESGold is not only nearing its inaugural production phase but also primed for transformational discovery. With cash flow in sight and geophysical confirmation around the corner, the company stands at a pivotal point: near-term gold and silver revenues that derisk and fund deeper drilling, and ANT-driven insights that may unveil a much larger mineralized footprint. The Right CEO for the Cycle Gordon Robb, ESGold's newly appointed CEO, brings a compelling blend of finance expertise and resource-sector acumen to guide the company into its production and expansion phase. With more than a decade of experience in global capital markets, Robb's background supports ESGold's ambitions for scalable, clean-mining initiatives ( His fluency in structuring complex deals and managing investor relations is expected to greatly benefit the company as it transitions into a near-term producer with long-term growth potential. Before joining ESGold, Robb served as business development and investor relations manager at Scottie Resources, where he was pivotal in capital-raising efforts and enhancing shareholder engagement. Under Robb's leadership, Scottie professionalized its investor communications and secured strategic funding, an achievement emblematic of Robb's deal-making mindset. Colleagues describe his tenure there as having an instrumental influence on the company's financial positioning and market credibility. At ESGold, Robb inherits a clean and environmentally responsible operation anchored by the Montauban tailings project, already under construction. "The Montauban Project is fully permitted, construction is well underway and a major discovery opportunity is unfolding alongside the tailings-to-cash flow model," Robb has stated. "We are building what the market has long been waiting for — a replicable, scalable clean mining company that delivers returns through both production and discovery, while minimizing environmental and permitting risk." Taken together, Robb's global finance pedigree, proven capital markets track record and strategic vision provide essential fuel for ESGold's dual ambitions: near-term cash flow through tailings reprocessing and district-scale discovery across legacy mine sites. His appointment signals to investors and stakeholders that ESGold has the executive depth necessary to execute both fronts with sophistication and discipline. Mining Moves, Wall Street Watches Wall Street is paying close attention as top-tier mining companies take strategic steps to align operations with next-generation growth drivers. For investors, these milestones signal a broader trend, where innovation and disciplined capital deployment are creating new opportunities across the resource space. BHP Group Ltd. (NYSE: BHP), a multinational mining and metals company, has announced that it will establish its first Industry AI Hub in Singapore ( The hub is designed to accelerate digital transformation and AI adoption in the mining and resources sector. The company noted that the hub will focus on solving BHP enterprise-wide challenges using AI technologies to improve safety and lift productivity. The hub of BHP AI specialists will also look at further integration of data-driven decisions, intelligence and automation into the company's core operations. BHP selected Singapore to further develop its AI capabilities for its vibrant innovation ecosystem, strong digital infrastructure and alignment with BHP's ambitions to scale technologies that deliver operational value. Barrick Mining Corporation (NYSE: GOLD) has released its 2024 sustainability report ( Titled "Beyond the Horizon," the report highlights Barrick's journey from its transformational merger in 2019 to becoming a leader in responsible mining, underscoring its commitment to sustainability-driven growth, community empowerment and environmental stewardship, focused on long-term value creation and measurable outcomes. As Barrick Mining Corporation enters a new growth phase through the rest of the decade, it has also recalibrated its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions profile and reduction roadmap to align with its expanding production base, and increased renewable energy footprint supporting its ambitious Net Zero by 2050 target. Kinross Gold Corp. (NYSE: KGC), a Canadian-based global senior gold mining company, also published its 2024 sustainability report ( The report noted that the company had delivered a strong sustainability performance, including a $4 billion total benefit footprint through taxes, wages, procurement and community investment. "Kinross' commitment to Sustainability is deeply rooted in our values and culture, and we remain steadfast in our commitment to responsible mining," said Kinross CEO J. Paul Rollinson. "We prioritize health and safety and environmental stewardship, as well as providing sustainable benefits to the communities where we operate. Partnerships are core to our operating philosophy, and we strive to be a trusted partner that delivers impactful community investments." Franco-Nevada Corp. (NYSE: FNV), a leading gold-focused royalty and streaming company, has entered into an agreement to acquire an existing royalty package on the Côté Gold Mine in Ontario from a private third party for total cash consideration of $1,050 million ( The Côté Gold Mine is one of the newest, large scale, and most modern gold mines to be built in Canada with an already extensive gold mineral resource base of more than 16 million ounces of Measured and Indicated Mineral Resources and 4 million ounces of Inferred Mineral Resources. Franco-Nevada partnered with IAMGOLD Corporation and Sumitomo Metal Mining Co. Ltd. for the acquisition of the Royalty, which exclusively allows Franco-Nevada access to conduct detailed due diligence. For analysts and institutional investors, key developments underscore a compelling narrative: mining is no longer just about extraction, it's about transformation. Whether through strategic cash-flow models, scalability, or community value delivery, leading mining operations are positioning themselves for sustainable growth. As this evolution continues, Wall Street will be watching closely for companies that execute with both operational precision and forward-looking vision.

A New Mining Model Is Emerging -- And Wall Street Is Paying Attention

NEW YORK, July 15, 2025 /CNW/ -- For decades, mining has been defined by high-risk, high-capex exploration, where success hinges on one-in-a-thousand discoveries. Most juniors never reach production. Investors face dilution. Timelines stretch into decades. Most mining companies are uninvestable at scale because they are capital destroyers, cyclical and heavy capex, with high permitting and execution risk. ESGold Corp. (CSE: ESAU) (OTCQB: ESAUF) (Profile) is challenging that model. Instead of chasing theory, ESGold is redeveloping past-producing or legacy mine sites — sites with known volumes, historical grades and existing infrastructure. These are assets left behind not because they were depleted or economically unviable but because previous owners and operators lacked the resources and technology to develop them. With gold at an all-time high and demand for all types of minerals booming, now is the time for companies with the experience, insight and capital to position themselves in a market where potential has never been more promising and Wall Street has never been more interested. ESGold joins an elite group of mineral miners, including BHP Group Ltd. (NYSE: BHP), Barrick Mining Corporation (NYSE: GOLD), Franco-Nevada Corp. (NYSE: FNV) and Kinross Gold Corp. (NYSE: KGC) that are leveraging their expertise to make the most of this golden opportunity. For investors, bullion isn't enough — Wall Street wants leverage, scalability and cash flow. ESGold has developed a highly scalable, repeatable cash‑flow model that begins with low‑cost, low‑footprint tailings reprocessing and leverages the proceeds to fuel exploration and acquisition of legacy projects. The company has demonstrated proven execution and robust platform potential, leveraging clean processing and environmental remediation. ESGold's Montauban Project is now fully permitted and firmly under construction, marking a major milestone in the company's evolution from exploration to near-term production. ESGold's newly appointed CEO brings a compelling blend of finance expertise and resource-sector acumen to guide the company into its production and expansion phase. Click here to view the custom infographic of the ESGold Corp. editorial. A Different Opportunity Gold is hitting all-time highs ( U.S. debt is surging ( and central banks are buying more gold than at any point in history ( But for investors, bullion isn't enough — Wall Street wants leverage, scalability and cash flow. Today, the opportunity in the minerals space looks different than it ever has. With modern technology, elevated metals prices and environmental incentives, ESGold Corp.'s (CSE: ESAU) (OTCQB: ESAUF) model is to unlock value from legacy tailings — quickly, cleanly, and at low cost. No high-risk drilling campaigns. No decade-long permits. Just low capex, fast timelines and tangible economics. And that's not all. While extracting high margins, ESGold is also committed to cleaning up the environment. And because the approach is repeatable, this isn't just a mine — it's a scalable platform. Wall Street loves scalable models. ESGold provides exactly that: a system that generates cash flow, funds its own growth and turns forgotten sites into modern producers. ESGold is fully permitted, under construction, and on track to pour gold and silver within the next two quarters. This isn't the old mining story. It's a new chapter, one that aligns with institutional capital, clean-tech mandates, disciplined execution and, most importantly, profitability. Cash-Flow Model Built to Scale ESGold has developed a highly scalable, repeatable cash‑flow model that begins with low‑cost, low‑footprint tailings reprocessing and leverages the proceeds to fuel exploration and acquisition of legacy projects that meet its low‑capex, high‑margin criteria. The company's flagship Montauban Project in Quebec exemplifies this model ( With fully permitted infrastructure and a gravity separation circuit permitted for processing up to 1,000 tonnes per day of historic tailings, ESGold expects near-term gold, silver and mica production by late 2025 or early 2026. With processing costs at just C$29.83 per tonne and minimal environmental impact, the model generates robust free cash flow while cleaning up legacy sites ( Crucially, ESGold intentionally redirects this cash into systematic, district‑scale exploration. With more than 32,000 acres (or 13,000 hectares) of mineral claims and modern geophysical work, including Ambient Noise Tomography (ANT) scans to depths of 800-plus meters underway, the approach provides defined funding for discovering and expanding high‑grade legacy deposits. As CEO Gordon Robb states, the company has "laid the foundation for something extraordinary" ( This blueprint is built for replication across North America's estimated 500,000+ legacy mine and tailings sites ( By capitalizing on existing low‑capex tailings reprocessing before allocating proceeds to exploration or acquisition of new legacy deposits, ESGold's model aligns operational profitability with sustainability and environmental stewardship. Proven Execution, Platform Potential ESGold has demonstrated proven execution and robust platform potential, leveraging clean processing and environmental remediation to build a scalable gold and silver mining model. That foundation is reinforced by a focused leadership team and a favorable policy climate aligned with global sustainability goals. At its Montauban project, ESGold is advancing a gravity-based tailings processing facility, while exploring non-cyanide environmentally friendly extraction methods. This low-footprint, environmentally friendly operation is designed to clean up legacy tailings while generating nondilutive cash flow, setting the stage for redeployment into further exploration and redevelopment efforts ( In addition, the company is actively engaging with Quebec and Canadian governments, seeking nondilutive funding to support construction, equipment purchase and expansion, an approach that dovetails with regional clean industry incentives and sustainability mandates ( Through these partnerships, ESGold expects to create 20–30 direct jobs, plus additional roles in drilling and exploration, while affirming its commitment to sustainable resource stewardship.

This foundational work positions ESGold to transition decisively into gravity-based tailings processing, significantly reducing regulatory risk and accelerating the timeline to first gold and silver output ( In May 2025, ESGold completed the delivery and installation of key gravity separation equipment, including Humphrey spiral concentrators, which finalize the core processing circuit. Designed to handle up to 1,000 tonnes per day of historical tailings without chemical reagents, this system will recover gold, silver, and marketable mica, laying the groundwork for a clean, environmentally friendly pilot operation. Since late June, the team has expanded the Montauban mine building to 4,000 square feet, doubling its original size to accommodate personnel, control rooms, processing labs and a secure "gold room" for gold and silver storage, further evidencing serious capital deployment and operational scale-up ( Complementing the construction progress, onsite testing of spiral circuit concentrate is now underway, with metallurgical assays and updated geophysical surveys expected soon to optimize downstream recovery and exploration planning ( As a test-pilot model for fast-tracked, low-impact resource redevelopment, the fully permitted and under-construction Montauban Project offers a derisked path to production by year-end.

Pending the release of ANT results, ESGold could validate the presence of a district-scale volcanogenic massive sulfide (VMS) system at Montauban. Preliminary geophysical work has already identified a major conductive and magnetic anomaly in the southwestern portion of the property, reinforcing the VMS thesis ( If confirmed, this validation will support high-priority drilling targets and bolster a 3D geological model that combines ANT data with historical assay and VTEM records, paving the way for accelerated resource delineation.
