ESGold Corp. reports developments in precious-metals exploration and pre-production mine development centered on the Montauban property in Quebec. The company describes Montauban as a fully permitted, past-producing gold-silver mine with historical tailings, surface and underground mineralization, and a strategy that combines tailings reprocessing with broader exploration across the land package.
Recurring updates for ESAUF include project construction, mill and gravity-circuit components, technical and economic study references, private-placement financing, and commentary tied to gold and silver market conditions. Coverage also includes company interviews and resource-sector media features that discuss ESGold's clean-mining approach, permitting position, and plans to move Montauban toward production.
ESGold (CSE:ESAUF) agreed to acquire 44 mineral claims totaling ~2,448 hectares near its Montauban gold-silver project for $70,000 cash plus 600,000 common shares (deemed $0.50/share, $300,000 value), with closing expected within ~30 days subject to conditions.
The lands adjoin existing claims, cover historical polymetallic occurrences, and will be integrated into a district-scale exploration program that includes a 70 km2 Ambient Noise Tomography survey and 3D modelling; no mineral resources have been defined.
ESGold (OTCQB: ESAUF) issued 305,088 common shares to AGORACOM as payment for online marketing services at approximately $0.467 per share, representing aggregate consideration of $125,000 plus HST.
The shares carry a four-month-plus-one-day hold period under applicable securities laws and the issuance remains subject to approval by the Canadian Securities Exchange. The issuance implements an Advertising Agreement dated January 29, 2025 and follows prior company disclosure on March 6, 2025.
ESGold (OTCQB:ESAUF) reports concurrent progress toward 2026 operations at the Montauban Gold-Silver Project: drill permits have been submitted with drilling targeted for May 2026, an expanded 70 km² ANT geophysical survey is underway, and all major mill equipment has been secured with fabrication and deliveries in progress.
The company says it is fully funded for its 2026 operational and exploration plan; initial ANT imaging indicated mineralized architecture to ~900 m depth and over 2 km strike, and results will be integrated into an updated 3D model to guide drilling.
ESGold (OTCQB: ESAUF) appointed Jason Tong, CPA, CA, CFA, as Chief Financial Officer effective March 13, 2026.
Mr. Tong brings 15+ years of capital markets and senior financial experience across TSX, TSXV and Nasdaq to support the fully permitted Montauban Gold-Silver Project as the company advances toward planned production in 2026. The company also disclosed a 12-month investor relations engagement with AXINO for €60,000 in cash (no equity).
ESGold (CSE: ESAU; OTCQB: ESAUF) has engaged AXINO Capital GmbH to provide marketing services in Europe for an initial 12-month term starting March 1, 2026. AXINO will support news distribution, investor outreach, and visibility in German-speaking financial communities while complying with exchange and regulatory rules.
ESGold continues to advance the fully permitted Montauban Gold-Silver Project in Québec toward production in 2026 and promotes a dual-track strategy of near-term cash flow and district-scale exploration upside.
ESGold (OTCQB:ESAUF) launched a 70 km2 Ambient Noise Tomography (ANT) survey at Montauban on February 17, 2026, expanding its initial 10 km2 program seven-fold. The company's integrated 3D model imaged a mineralized corridor to ~900 m depth with at least 2 km strike, widening at depth and open beyond prior survey limits. Results will guide step-out drilling planned for spring 2026 and feed an updated predictive model while the site advances toward near-term production.
ESGold (OTCQB:ESAUF) appointed Galen Carson, founder of Caram Media, to its Advisory Board effective February 17, 2026. Mr. Carson has advised ESGold since October 2024 and helped shape capital markets strategy during a period when the company raised more than C$20 million.
The company says Montauban is fully permitted with construction progressing and a fully funded path to first gold and silver production in 2026, while geological work expanded the district-scale opportunity.
ESGold (OTCQB:ESAUF) staked an additional 144 claims (~7,668 hectares), expanding its Montauban position to 417 claims (~20,618 hectares / 206 km²), the largest contiguous tenure in the Montauban region. A new ANT-based 3D model identified a deep anomaly to ~900 m depth and >2 km strike, remaining open beyond surveyed limits.
The company plans a ~70 km² expanded ANT survey and targeted step-out diamond drilling while advancing near-term tailings production expected in 2026. Qualified Person: André Gauthier, P.Geo.
ESGold (OTCQB:ESAUF) completed an ANT-based 3D geological model at Montauban that images mineralized corridors to ~900 metres depth and about 2 kilometres of strike within the surveyed area.
The model shows mineralization widening at depth and remaining open beyond current ANT coverage; ESGold plans expanded geophysics and step-out drilling ahead of planned drilling in early Spring 2026.
ESGold (CSE:ESAU / OTCQB:ESAUF) engaged Atrium Research Corporation to provide sponsored research and recorded management interviews beginning December 15, 2025 for a 12‑month term.
