ESGold Corp. (CSE: ESAU) (OTCQB: ESAUF), a development-stage company focused on acquiring, exploring, and developing high-quality mineral properties, announced the delivery of a propane-fired tilting furnace at its Montauban Gold-Silver Project in Quebec. The furnace, which features a hydraulic tilting system, supporting crucibles, and thermocouple temperature monitoring, can safely hold and melt up to 150 kilograms of metal and handle temperatures up to 1300°C (https://nnw.fm/lqfW9). This equipment will form part of the company's planned precious metal recovery circuit, enabling on-site melting and casting of gold and silver into doré bars once the site becomes operational.
The receipt of this furnace is a crucial milestone as ESGold progresses toward commissioning the Montauban Project. The company has been receiving infrastructure and equipment since April and continues to engage in activities to prepare the site for operational status. The furnace is intended to be used in conjunction with the Merrill-Crowe process, a technique for recovering precious metals from permitted tailings material. This advancement underscores ESGold's commitment to developing its Montauban Project, which holds significant potential for gold and silver production.
The Montauban Project, located in Quebec, is a key asset for ESGold, and the company's progress in securing essential equipment like the tilting furnace demonstrates its dedication to moving the project forward. The ability to produce doré bars on-site could streamline operations and reduce reliance on external processing facilities, potentially improving project economics. As ESGold continues to receive equipment and infrastructure, the company is positioning itself to achieve its goal of commissioning the site and commencing production.
