ESGold Launches First Ever Systematic Exploration of Montauban's District-Scale VMS Deposit
ESGold Corp (CSE: ESAU, OTC: SEKZF) has launched its first systematic deep exploration of the Montauban Project, marking the most extensive geological investigation in the property's 110-year history. The company has partnered with Caur Technologies to deploy Ambient Noise Tomography (ANT), a passive seismic technology for mapping deep mineralization.
The survey covers a 10 km² area of ESGold's 130 km² property, utilizing ultra-sensitive Geodes that are 10x more effective than traditional geophones. The technology will scan depths from 50m to 400m, aiming to expand the known deposit and identify new discoveries. The Montauban VMS deposit has historically produced gold, silver, lead, and zinc, but previous exploration was to shallow depths of 25m in the North and South Zones, with some areas reaching 200m near old mine shafts.
This initiative combines AI-driven analysis with historical drill data to create a comprehensive 3D subsurface model, potentially reshaping Montauban's geological understanding while minimizing exploration costs and environmental impact.
ESGold Corp (CSE: ESAU, OTC: SEKZF) ha avviato la sua prima esplorazione sistematica in profondità del Progetto Montauban, segnando l'indagine geologica più estesa nella storia di 110 anni della proprietà. L'azienda ha collaborato con Caur Technologies per implementare la Tomografia del Rumore Ambientale (ANT), una tecnologia sismica passiva per mappare la mineralizzazione profonda.
Il sondaggio copre un'area di 10 km² della proprietà di 130 km² di ESGold, utilizzando Geodes ultrasensibili che sono 10 volte più efficaci rispetto ai geofoni tradizionali. La tecnologia analizzerà profondità da 50m a 400m, con l'obiettivo di espandere il deposito conosciuto e identificare nuove scoperte. Storicamente, il deposito VMS di Montauban ha prodotto oro, argento, piombo e zinco, ma le esplorazioni precedenti si sono limitate a profondità poco superiori ai 25m nelle Zone Nord e Sud, con alcune aree che raggiungono i 200m vicino a vecchi pozzi minerari.
Questa iniziativa combina analisi guidate dall'IA con dati di perforazione storici per creare un modello 3D completo del sottosuolo, potenzialmente ridefinendo la comprensione geologica di Montauban e minimizzando i costi di esplorazione e l'impatto ambientale.

ESGold Launches ANT Survey Over a 10 km2 Area to Create a 3D Model of its Montauban's District-Scale VMS Deposit
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - February 6, 2025) - ESGold Corp. (CSE: ESAU) (OTC Pink: SEKZF) (FSE: Z7D) ("ESGold" or the "Company") is thrilled to announce the launch of its first-ever systematic deep exploration of the Montauban Project. Kicking off on Monday, this milestone marks the most extensive geological investigation in the property's 110-year history.
In partnership with Caur Technologies, ESGold is deploying Ambient Noise Tomography (ANT) - a cutting-edge, passive seismic technology designed to map deep mineralization, pinpoint high-value exploration zones, and uncover Montauban's full resource potential. Previously, ANT has been successfully implemented in Australia, Saudi Arabia, and select projects in Canada, notably Power Nickel's NISK Project, where it helped identify additional targets, significantly enhancing asset value. ESGold now aims to apply this game-changing exploration method to reveal a substantial ore body at Montauban.
Survey Details: Unlocking Montauban's True Potential
The ANT survey will provide high-resolution, 3D subsurface imaging across a 10 km² section of ESGold's 130 km² land package - less than
Survey Area: Covering 10 km² of Montauban's most prospective zones.
Strike Length: Mapping multiple kilometers along strike to identify mineralization extensions.
Depth Penetration: Scanning from 50m to 400m deep, with potential for further extension.
Advanced Technology: Utilizing Caur Technologies' ultra-sensitive Geodes, which are 10x more effective than traditional geophones, combined with AI-driven modeling that integrates historical drill data and satellite-assisted geophysics.
Expected Impact:
Expand the known deposit and enhance the potential for new discoveries.
Define high-priority drill targets for future exploration.
Assess the size, shape, and continuity of mineralized anomalies.

Defining Montauban's True Scale: A Historic Breakthrough
Montauban's Volcanogenic Massive Sulphide (VMS) deposit has historically yielded significant gold, silver, lead, and zinc values. However, it has never been consolidated under a single operator or explored using modern systematic methods.
Past drilling programs only tested shallow mineralization, reaching depths of just 25m in the North and South Zones, while deeper exploration was limited to 200m near old mine shafts. Given that VMS deposits typically occur in clusters and extend to significant depths, ESGold believes Montauban holds a much larger mineralized system than previously recognized.
"This is the first-ever deep imaging of Montauban. For the first time, we will be able to see beneath the surface in unprecedented detail," said Brad Kitchen, President of ESGold. "By detecting mineralized structures at depth, we are drastically increasing our chances of defining a major deposit while reducing exploration costs and environmental impact. This is a pivotal moment in ESGold's strategy to drive value through both production and discovery."
Game-Changing Technology: How ANT Works
Ambient Noise Tomography (ANT) leverages naturally occurring and human-made seismic vibrations. These signals travel through the earth and are recorded using ultra-sensitive Geodes. The data is then rapidly processed and transmitted, generating a high-resolution 3D model of the subsurface, with planned imaging depths of 400m and beyond based on initial results.
This groundbreaking technology has already proven to be a game-changer in the mining sector, with the potential to redefine Montauban's geological model. By integrating AI-driven analysis with historical drill data, ESGold anticipates actionable insights that could unlock a major discovery.
Transforming ESGold's Exploration Strategy
The launch of this first-ever deep exploration program could be a defining moment for ESGold. By identifying new drill targets, mapping the full extent of mineralization, and uncovering previously hidden ore bodies, this survey could dramatically reshape the future of Montauban.
ESGold is taking a bold approach, combining cutting-edge technology, systematic exploration, and near-term production. This strategy aims to create significant long-term shareholder value, flipping the traditional junior mining model by using cash flow from operations to fund meaningful discoveries while minimizing dilution.
