ESGold Corp. (CSE: ESAU) (OTCQB: ESAUF) has announced the launch of a 70 square kilometers district-scale Ambient Noise Topography (ANT) survey at its flagship Montauban Gold-Silver Project in Québec. This second-phase survey follows an initial 10 km² survey completed in 2025, whose results formed the basis of ESGold's integrated 3D geological model. The model has been integral in highlighting Montauban's full potential, according to the company.
“This next phase marks an important step in defining the full scale of Montauban,” noted Gordon Robb, ESGold’s CEO. “Our initial ANT survey and integrated 3D model revealed a deep and expanding mineralized corridor extending to approximately 900 meters and over at least two kilometers of strike. The expanded 70 square kilometer program is seven times larger than our initial survey and represents the most comprehensive geophysical assessment ever conducted across the Montauban district.”
The ANT survey is designed to map subsurface structures and identify potential mineralized zones through ambient seismic noise. By expanding the survey area to 70 km², ESGold aims to assess the broader geological framework of the Montauban district, which could lead to the discovery of additional mineralization beyond the known corridor. This comprehensive assessment is expected to provide critical data for future exploration and development activities.
ESGold is a fully permitted, pre-production resource company focused on clean mining and exploration innovation. The company is advancing its projects toward production and feasibility while delivering long-term value through sustainable resource recovery and exploration. The Montauban property, located 80 kilometers west of Quebec City, serves as a model for responsible mining practices, combining near-term production potential with district-scale discovery opportunity.
The implications of this expanded survey are significant for ESGold and the mining industry. If the survey confirms a larger mineralized system, it could substantially increase the resource base at Montauban, enhancing the project's economic viability. For investors, this development represents a potential catalyst, as successful results could lead to upward revaluation of the company's assets. The use of advanced geophysical techniques like ANT also underscores the industry's shift toward more efficient and less invasive exploration methods.
