ESGold (CSE:ESAU) has received additional processing equipment as commissioning advances at its Montauban Gold-Silver Project in Québec, Canada.
The delivery includes a Falcon gravity concentrator manufactured by Sepro Mineral Systems and industrial thickeners supplied through A.M. King for the project’s permitted 1,000-tonne-per-day processing facility.
The concentrator uses centrifugal force to separate denser precious-metal particles from lighter material. The thickeners will separate solids from liquids and allow clarified water to be reused within the processing circuit.
Both components will undergo installation, integration, and testing as ESGold continues commissioning the plant.
The facility incorporates gravity recovery alongside screening, grinding, cyanide leaching, clarification, deoxygenation, Merrill-Crowe precipitation, and doré production.
CEO Gordon Robb says the equipment delivery brings the company closer to integrating the plant’s processing systems.
“The Falcon Concentrator and thickeners are now at Montauban and moving into the next stages of installation, integration, and commissioning,” Robb says.
The delivery follows the start of ESGold’s 5,000m maiden drilling program at Montauban. The program is designed to validate historical data and test geophysical anomalies across underexplored areas.
ESGold says it plans to reprocess historical tailings at Montauban while exploring the broader property for additional mineralisation. The company aims to use cash flow from the processing operation to support longer-term exploration.
ESGold is a Canadian pre-production mining company advancing the fully permitted Montauban Gold-Silver Project in Québec.
