Montauban fills up as ESGold closes in on commissioning

More equipment is landing. Montauban is filling up fast.

Mining.com.au catches up with ESGold (CSE:ESAU) CEO and Director Gordon Robb for the latest from the Montauban Gold-Silver Project in Québec, Canada.

Gordon breaks down what is moving:

Thickeners: Key industrial equipment has arrived on site
Concentrator: The Falcon gravity concentrator is now part of the build-out
Doré: The furnace is in place for future gold-silver doré production
Drilling: A 5,000m campaign is underway
Next: Commissioning and exploration updates are both in the pipeline

The site is getting busier.

The path to commissioning is getting shorter.
