ESGOLD ADVANCES MONTAUBAN COMMISSIONING WITH ARRIVAL OF KEY PROCESSING EQUIPMENT

Esgold Corp. has received additional key processing equipment at its fully permitted Montauban gold-silver project in Quebec as installation, integration and commissioning activities continue across the company's 1,000-tonne-per-day processing facility.

The newly arrived equipment includes a Falcon gravity concentrator manufactured by Sepro Mineral Systems and a series of industrial thickeners supplied through A.M. King. These components represent important additions to the Montauban processing circuit and will now move through installation, integration and commissioning as part of the company's broader plant advancement program.

With the main mill infrastructure nearly completed and major equipment continuing to arrive at site, Esgold is progressively assembling and commissioning the systems required to bring the Montauban processing facility into operation.

The arrival of these components represents another important milestone in Esgold's plant commissioning program. Commissioning activities have commenced at Montauban and will continue to advance progressively as individual systems and components are installed, integrated and prepared for operation.

The arrival of these components represents another important milestone within Esgold's ongoing commissioning program, as equipment installation, mechanical and electrical integration, system testing and operational readiness activities continue across the Montauban processing facility.

Key equipment arrives at Montauban

Sepro Falcon gravity concentrator

The Falcon gravity concentrator, manufactured by Sepro Mineral Systems, is an enhanced gravity separation system designed to recover liberated precious metals from mineral-processing streams. Using high-speed centrifugal forces, the system increases the effective gravitational force acting on mineral particles, allowing heavier valuable minerals to be separated from lighter material. Falcon concentrators are particularly effective in recovering fine liberated gold, silver and other precious metals.

Industrial thickeners

The series of thickeners will play an important role in solid-liquid separation within the Montauban processing circuit. Mineral slurry entering the thickeners is allowed to settle under controlled conditions, producing a higher-density underflow while the clarified overflow can be recovered and reused within the process.

From equipment procurement to plant integration

The arrival of the Falcon concentrator and thickeners follows Esgold's previously announced equipment procurement program and the company's technical inspections of manufactured equipment prior to shipment.

The facility is designed around a permitted processing capacity of up to 1,000 tonnes per day and incorporates a Merrill-Crowe recovery circuit. The broader flowsheet includes screening and separation, grinding, cyanide leaching, clarification, and de-oxygenation, Merrill-Crowe precipitation and dore production. Commissioning activities have commenced and will continue progressively as additional equipment and individual process systems are installed, integrated and tested.

Montauban: advancing operations and exploration

Esgold's strategy at Montauban combines the advancement of its fully permitted tailings-reprocessing operation with district-scale exploration across the broader property. The company's objective is to establish recurring operating cash flow from the reprocessing of historic tailings while continuing to evaluate the longer-term mineral potential of the Montauban mining camp.
