RockBreaks – ESGold Corp. (CSE: ESAU) (OTCQB: ESAUF) Launches Final Spiral Tests Ahead of Montauban Gold-Silver Production

ESGold (CSE: ESAU) (OTCQB: ESAUF) has begun final spiral concentration tests at its Montauban Gold-Silver Project in Quebec, marking a major milestone toward initiating production later this year. Conducted on high-grade railbed material—geologically distinct from the Anacon tailings—the tests target a concentrate representing under 0.3% of total mass while capturing over 50% of contained gold and silver. If successful, the process could enable direct on-site bullion pours, cutting cyanide use and accelerating cash flow. Final lab results are expected within a month, as commissioning of the Montauban plant continues to advance. To view the full press release, visit https://ibn.fm/BztDY About…
