ESGold Expands Montauban Footprint Through Strategic Claim AcquisitionsMay 5, 2026 7:30 AM
ACCESS Newswire44 additional claims totaling 2,448 hectares under binding acquisition agreements as ESGold strengthens its district-scale position in Montauban, QuébecVANCOUVER, BC / ACCESS Newswire / May 5, 2026 / ESGold Corp. ("ESGold" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has entered into binding purchase agreements to acquire an additional 44 mineral claims totaling approximately 2,448 hectares in the Montauban region of Québec. These acquisitions expand the Company's contiguous land position surrounding its Montauban Gold-Silver Project and provide additional exploration potential along a prospective mineralized trend. The Company has agreed to acquire a 100% interest in the claims for total consideration of $70,000 in cash and 600,000 common shares at a deemed price of $0.50 per common share, with a deemed value of $300,000. Closing of the claims is expected to occur within the next 30 days, subject to customary conditions including due diligence, transfer of title, and regulatory and exchange approvals where applicable.Strategic Expansion in a Prospective Geological CorridorThe newly acquired claims cover areas with historically documented polymetallic mineralization, including zones in the vicinity of Lac Viking, Lac Lanctôt, and Lac Charlie. Historical work conducted by various operators, including SOQUEM, reported the presence of semi-massive sulphide mineralization hosted in gneissic and metasedimentary rocksReported historical drill and sampling highlights include:1.65 g/t Au over 7.27 m, including 3.42 g/t Au over 2.68 m (hole 93-24)5.48% Zn, 0.36% Cu, 0.35 g/t Au, and 6.8 g/t Ag over 3.15 m (hole 097-91-19)1.67 g/t Au over 1.47 m (hole TR-15-01)3,447 ppm Cu and 2,615 ppm Cu over 1 m in channel samplesThese results are indicative of a polymetallic mineral system; however, they are historical in nature and have not been independently verified by the Company.Based on compilation of available data, mineralization is interpreted to occur within a structurally controlled corridor that may extend over several kilometers. This interpretation remains conceptual and requires confirmation through systematic modern exploration.Geological Context and Exploration ModelThe Montauban district is characterized by a polymetallic mineral system interpreted as a metamorphosed and structurally modified volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) environment, with gold enrichment and remobilization along deformation zones.Mineralization typically occurs as sulphide lenses and disseminations within deformed stratigraphy and may be structurally thickened or repeated. Exploration targeting is therefore focused on identifying:Structural controls on mineralizationContinuity of sulphide lenses along strike and at depthPotential extensions beyond historically mined zonesThe Company is currently integrating geological, geochemical, and geophysical datasets, including Ambient Noise Tomography (ANT), to develop a 3D geological interpretation of the district. These interpretations are conceptual in nature and are intended to guide future exploration drilling. No mineral resources or reserves have been defined.Ongoing Exploration and Target DevelopmentThe Company's ongoing exploration program includes a district-scale ANT survey and integrated 3D modeling initiative covering approximately 70 km². The objective of this work is to improve understanding of subsurface structural features and geological architecture.Preliminary interpretations from this work suggest the potential presence of structural features that may be associated with mineralization at depth and along strike; however, these interpretations have not been validated by drilling and should not be considered evidence of mineral continuity or economic potential.The expanded land position provides ESGold with increased flexibility to evaluate and prioritize exploration targets as new data is incorporated.CEO Commentary"These acquisitions reflect our disciplined approach to building a district-scale exploration opportunity at Montauban," said Gordon Robb, Chief Executive Officer of ESGold. "As our geological understanding evolves through ongoing data integration and interpretation, securing additional prospective ground positions us to systematically evaluate targets and advance exploration in a structured manner."Qualified Person StatementThe scientific and technical information contained in this news release has been reviewed and approved by André Gauthier, P.Geo., a Director of ESGold Corp. and a Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects.Mr. Gauthier has reviewed the available geological information relating to the claims acquired and considers it relevant for exploration purposes. Historical Data DisclosureThe historical results disclosed in this news release are derived from reports prepared by previous operators. The Company has not independently verified this information. While the Company considers these data to be relevant as an indication of the exploration potential of the property, the reliability of the data cannot be confirmed.The historical results do not comply with current Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (CIM) Definition Standards and should not be relied upon as mineral resource or reserve estimates. Additional work, including verification sampling, drilling, and modern analytical procedures, will be required to confirm and validate these results.Equity Incentive GrantsThe Company also announces that pursuant to its Omnibus Incentive Plan (the "Plan"), the Company has granted an aggregate of 2,575,000 stock options and 500,000 restricted share units ("RSUs') to certain employees, officers, directors, and consultants ("Stock Options"). Each Stock Option vests immediately and is exercisable into one common share of the Company at a price of [$0.505] per common share and 1,275,000 Stock Options expire three years from the date of grant and 1,300,000 Stock Options expire five years from the date of grant. The RSUs vest immediately and are governed by the terms of the Plan. The Stock Options and RSU's are subject to approval by the Canadian Securities Exchange.About ESGold Corp.ESGold Corp.

ACCESS NewswireDrill permits have been submitted, with mobilization expected in the near term. The expanded district-scale geophysical survey is nearing completion, and the full mill circuit has now been secured. ESGold continues to advance its fully funded 2026 operational and exploration plan.VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESS Newswire / April 9, 2026 / ESGold Corp. (CSE:ESAU)(OTCQB:ESAUF)(FSE:Z7D) ("ESGold" or the "Company") is advancing on multiple key fronts at its Montauban Gold-Silver Project in Québec, with drilling preparations, district-scale exploration, and mill development all progressing concurrently as the Company moves toward anticipated operations in 2026.Drill permits have now been formally submitted to the Québec government, with the Company targeting the commencement of drilling in May 2026. At the same time, ESGold's expanded 70 km² Ambient Noise Tomography ("ANT") survey is actively underway, and all major mill equipment has been secured and is currently in fabrication with completed equipment deliveries ongoing to site.Drilling Program Advancing Toward Early StartThe Company is preparing to initiate a targeted drill program designed to test high-priority zones identified through its evolving geological model. The program will include definition drilling of the surface crown pillar to better characterize near-surface mineralization, with the objective of supporting future resource estimation work. In parallel, drill targets have been developed through the integration of recent geophysical data, including ANT imaging, historical drilling, and detailed structural interpretation. This program represents the first time the Montauban system will be systematically drill tested using modern exploration techniques and an integrated geological framework informed by advanced data and analysis.Historically, drilling at Montauban was largely focused on shallow mineralization and conducted without the benefit of modern geophysics or a comprehensive understanding of the broader structural system. With permits submitted and planning well advanced, ESGold is now positioned to transition from interpretation to targeted execution, applying current best practices to test continuity, thickness, and potential extensions of mineralization across the system. Step-out drilling will also target interpreted zones where the model suggests mineralization may widen and remain open, providing an opportunity to evaluate the broader scale of the Montauban system.Expanded ANT Survey in Progress With Results to Update 3D ModelThe Company's expanded ANT survey is currently in progress across approximately 70 square kilometres of its Montauban land package, representing a seven-fold increase over the initial 10 km² survey completed in 2025.Geophone pods have been deployed across the property and are expected to remain in place through mid-April 2026, after which collected data will be processed and integrated into the Company's broader 3D geological model.The initial ANT survey identified mineralized architecture extending to approximately 900 metres in depth and over at least two kilometres of strike. The system appeared to widen at depth and remained open at the limits of the original land package.The current program is designed to determine whether this mineralized corridor continues across the broader land package and to further define the scale and structural framework of the Montauban system.Mill Equipment Secured With Fabrication and Delivery UnderwayIn parallel with the exploration and drilling preparation, ESGold has secured all major components required for the Montauban mill circuit. Letters of credit have been submitted to equipment manufacturers, and fabrication is currently underway with selected vendors.Deliveries of key processing equipment are ongoing and are expected to continue arriving on site as the Company advances toward mill buildout and commissioning.CEO Commentary"We've been working aggressively behind the scenes to bring all of these pieces together, and we are now entering a phase where that progress becomes visible," said Gordon Robb, Chief Executive Officer of ESGold."Drill permits are in, our expanded ANT survey is actively collecting data across a much larger footprint, and all major mill equipment has been secured and is moving through fabrication and delivery. These are foundational steps, and they are all advancing at the same time. What is particularly exciting is how these initiatives come together. We are moving toward production while, in parallel, expanding our understanding of what we believe could be a much larger system. The initial work has already shown depth and continuity well beyond what was historically recognized. With the next phase of ANT results and the start of drilling, we will begin to test and define that potential more directly.""We are fully funded to execute on this plan, and our focus is on disciplined execution across both development and exploration as we move through what we believe will be a very important period for the Company."The Company's approach is to move forward methodically, with each step building on the last, as it works toward both near-term production and the continued expansion of its geological understanding.Why This Matters to InvestorsThis update reflects a critical stage where multiple value drivers are advancing in parallel. ESGold is progressing toward near-term production with all major mill equipment secured and fabrication underway, while simultaneously expanding exploration across a significantly larger portion of its land package.The Company's initial 3D geological model demonstrated a system extending to depth and remaining open along strike. The current and expanded 70 km² ANT survey is designed to determine the extent of that system, with results expected to inform both drilling and long-term development strategy.With drilling targeted to begin in early May 2026 and ANT data integration to follow shortly thereafter, ESGold is entering a period of continuous milestones across exploration and development. This combination of near-term production and systematic district-scale evaluation positions the Company to generate both operational progress and exploration upside over the coming months.About ESGold Corp.ESGold Corp.

ESGold Launches 70 km2 District-Scale ANT Survey at Montauban Following 3D Model Identifying Deep, Expanding 2 km Mineralized CorridorFebruary 20, 2026 7:30 AM
ACCESS NewswireThe expanded program is seven times larger than initial survey and aims to define the full extent of a 900-metre-deep system that widened at depth and remained open beyond previous survey limitsVANCOUVER, BC / ACCESS Newswire / February 20, 2026 / ESGold Corp. (CSE:ESAU)(OTCQB:ESAUF)(FSE:Z7D) ("ESGold" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the commencement of a second-phase Ambient Noise Tomography ("ANT") survey covering approximately 70 square kilometres (the "Program") at its Montauban Gold-Silver Project in Québec. The expanded ANT survey commenced on February 17, 2026, and the Program represents the most extensive geological investigation conducted across the Montauban property in its 110-year history.This Program represents a seven-fold expansion of the Company's initial 10 km² ANT survey completed in 2025, which formed the basis of ESGold's integrated 3D geological model. That model imaged mineralized architecture extending to approximately 900 metres in depth and outlined at least two (2) kilometres of strike length indicated, with the corridor widening at depth and remaining open at the limits of the original survey coverage.The expanded survey Program is designed to confirm whether this interpreted structural corridor continues along strike and to assess the potential for additional mineralized lenses within the broader framework. Results will be incorporated into the Company's geological model to refine high-priority step-out drill targets and guide a focused drill program planned for spring 2026, with the objective to systematically evaluate the broader district-scale volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) potential at Montauban.CEO Commentary"This next phase marks an important step in defining the full scale of Montauban," said Gordon Robb, Chief Executive Officer of ESGold. "Our initial ANT survey and integrated 3D model revealed a deep and expanding mineralized corridor extending to approximately 900 metres and over at least two kilometres of strike. Critically, the system widened at depth and remained open where the survey ended. The expanded 70 square kilometre program is seven times larger than our initial survey and represents the most comprehensive geophysical assessment ever conducted across the Montauban district. For the first time in the project's history, this land package has been consolidated under one operator and is being evaluated using modern, deep-penetrating geophysical tools. We believe we are at a pivotal stage in understanding the broader geological framework of Montauban."Key Highlights of Survey and ProgramInitial ANT survey identified mineralized architecture extending to approximately 900 metres in depth - significantly deeper than historical drilling, which was largely confined to shallow levels.At least 2 kilometres of strike length defined within the initial 10 km² survey area.Mineralized corridor widened at depth and remains open where truncated by survey boundaries.New 70 km² ANT program expands coverage approximately seven times beyond the original survey footprint.Largest district-wide geophysical survey ever conducted at Montauban.First time in Montauban's history that a consolidated land package of this scale has been systematically evaluated under a single operator.Survey results will guide targeted step-out drilling planned for 2026.3D Geological ModelA video presentation of the integrated 3D geological model referenced in this press release can be viewed at the link below.
View Here: Video of 3D ModelDefining the True Extent of the SystemThe Company's initial ANT survey and integrated 3D model has most likely materially changed the geological understanding of Montauban. While historical mining operations extracted gold, silver, zinc, and lead from multiple shallow zones, drilling was largely confined to depths of approximately 50 metres, with the deepest historical holes reaching approximately 250 metres.The 3D model, constructed through integration of ANT seismic velocity data, historical drilling, geological mapping, structural interpretation, and geochemistry, identified a coherent mineralized corridor extending to approximately 900 metres in depth. Within the 10 km² survey footprint, the system demonstrated at least two (2) kilometres of strike length and showed indications of thickening or widening at depth.Because the initial survey area was limited in its extent, the modeled mineralized architecture was truncated at the survey boundaries. The new 70 km² Program is designed to determine whether the interpreted corridor continues along strike and to evaluate its broader district-scale potential.The expanded ANT survey will deliver high-resolution, three-dimensional subsurface imaging across a significant portion of ESGold's newly consolidated Montauban land package. The initial survey covered only a small fraction of the broader property, meaning the majority of the district has never been systematically evaluated using modern deep-imaging technology.Survey Program details are set out below:Survey Area: Covering 70 km² of Montauban's most prospective zones.Strike Length: Mapping multiple kilometers along strike to identify mineralization extensions.Depth Penetration: Scanning from 50 metres ("m") to 900 m deep, with potential for further extension.Advanced Technology: Utilizing Caur Technologies' ultra-sensitive Geodes, which are 10x more effective than traditional geophones, combined with AI-driven modeling that integrates historical drill data and satellite-assisted geophysics.Expected Impact of New Survey Program:Expand the known deposit and enhance the potential for new discoveries.Define high-priority drill targets for future exploration.Assess the size, shape, and continuity of mineralized anomalies.Integrate survey data into a state-of-the-art Predictability Model, leveraging all past regional and local exploration results.Map of ESGold's Ambient Noise Tomography (ANT) Survey at MontaubanFigure 1: Map of ESGold's Ambient Noise Tomography (ANT) Survey points at Montauban Advancing Exploration in Parallel with ProductionThe expanded ANT program is being conducted as ESGold continues to advance the Montauban Project toward near-term production in 2026. The Company's processing facility is fully permitted and construction-ready, with procurement of processing components underway.Data from the expanded ANT survey will be integrated into an updated predictive 3D geological model and used to refine high-priority step-out drill targets planned for execution in 2026.Game-Changing Technology: How ANT WorksAmbient Noise Tomography (ANT) leverages naturally occurring and human-made seismic vibrations. These signals travel through the earth and are recorded using ultra-sensitive Geodes. The data is then rapidly processed and transmitted, generating a high-resolution 3D model of the subsurface, with planned imaging depths of 400 m and beyond based on initial results.This groundbreaking technology has already proven to be a game-changer in the mining sector, with the potential to redefine Montauban's geological model. By integrating AI-driven analysis with historical drill data, ESGold anticipates actionable insights that could unlock a major discovery.Transforming ESGold's Exploration StrategyThe launch of this first-ever deep exploration program could be a defining moment for ESGold. By identifying new drill targets, mapping the full extent of mineralization, and uncovering previously hidden ore bodies, this survey Program could dramatically reshape the future of Montauban.ESGold is taking a calculated approach, combining cutting-edge technology, systematic exploration, and near-term production. This strategy aims to create significant long-term shareholder value, flipping the traditional junior mining model by using cash flow from operations to fund meaningful discoveries while minimizing dilution.Why This New Survey Program Matters to InvestorsThe initial 3D model demonstrated that Montauban extends significantly deeper and farther than historical exploration suggested. The identification of a 900-metre-deep system, widening at depth and open along strike, represents a material shift in the geological understanding of the Montauban project.The new 70 km² ANT Program seeks to determine whether this mineralized corridor continues beyond the limits of the initial survey and whether Montauban represents a larger, structurally controlled district-scale system.At the same time, ESGold is advancing toward production at a fully permitted facility. This dual-track approach - near-term cash flow alongside systematic district-scale exploration - positions the Company to translate geological progress into long-term value creation while maintaining strategic control over a consolidated land package.Qualified Person StatementThe scientific and technical information contained in this news release has been reviewed and approved by André Gauthier, P. Geo., a Director of ESGold Corp. and a Qualified Person within the meaning of National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects.

ESGold Appoints Galen Carson to Advisory BoardFebruary 17, 2026 7:30 AM
ACCESS NewswireAppointment formalizes an expanded relationship with Caram Media founder whose strategic leadership has helped reposition ESGold as a near-term gold and silver producer with district-scale upsideVANCOUVER, BC / ACCESS Newswire / February 17, 2026 / ESGold Corp. (CSE:ESAU)(OTCQB:ESAUF)(FSE:Z7D) ("ESGold" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the appointment of Galen Carson, Founder and Principal of Caram Media Inc., to its Advisory Board.Mr. Carson has worked closely with ESGold since October 2024 through Caram Media, establishing a long-term strategic relationship that has spanned more than a year and coincided with a fundamental transformation of the Company. The appointment reflects the evolution of a relationship that has played a meaningful role in strengthening ESGold's capital markets strategy, investor positioning, and broader market visibility.Since that time, the Company has raised more than C$20 million to advance its fully permitted Montauban Gold-Silver Project toward production, while expanding its shareholder base and market presence. Over this period, ESGold's market capitalization has grown materially as the Company transitioned from a small-cap development story into a pre-production company with a clear path forward."Over the past year, ESGold has undergone a fundamental transformation," said Gordon Robb, Chief Executive Officer. "We secured the capital required to move Montauban toward production, strengthened our shareholder base, and significantly elevated the technical understanding of the asset. Galen has worked alongside our team throughout this evolution, contributing across capital markets strategy, business development, and corporate positioning. We are pleased to formalize that relationship as we enter the next phase of growth."As an Advisor, Mr. Carson will continue to support ESGold across strategic planning, capital markets engagement, and long-term value positioning as the Company advances toward near-term production and executes its exploration and growth initiatives."I'm honored to be joining ESGold's Advisory Board and to be taking this relationship to the next level," said Mr. Carson. "What initially attracted me to ESGold was the immense potential of the asset and the team. What has reinforced my conviction over the past year is the Company's disciplined execution - raising capital responsibly, advancing construction, and redefining the scale of Montauban through modern geological work. With production approaching and exploration accelerating in parallel, ESGold is positioned to demonstrate the full potential of this project. I believe the most transformative chapter for ESGold and its shareholders is still ahead."The formalization of Mr. Carson's advisory role reflects ESGold's continued commitment to strengthening its leadership bench as it advances toward production and accelerates exploration across its expanded Montauban land package. With construction progressing, a fully funded path to first gold and silver production in 2026, and a rapidly evolving geological understanding of the district-scale opportunity, ESGold enters this next phase with momentum and a clear strategic roadmap.About ESGold Corp.ESGold Corp.

ESGold Expands Montauban Land Position Following 3D Geological Model Identifying Potential District-Scale Mineralized CorridorFebruary 5, 2026 7:30 AM
ACCESS NewswireStrategic staking has taken place by the Company to secure key ground adjacent to modeled mineralization and Company prepares expanded ANT survey and step-out drilling programVANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA / ACCESS Newswire / February 5, 2026 / ESGold Corp. (CSE:ESAU)(OTCQB:ESAUF)(FSE:Z7D) ("ESGold" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has staked an additional 144 mining claims totaling approximately 7,668 hectares in and around its Montauban project, significantly increasing the size of its Montauban land position in Québec.With these newly staked claims, ESGold now controls 417 mining claims covering approximately 20,618 hectares or 206 square kilometres around its Montauban project, representing the largest contiguous mineral tenure held by a single company in the Montauban region. Most of the newly acquired claims are open ground and are strategically located adjacent to the Company's core Montauban property.Figure 1: Map showing ESGold's expanded Montauban land position, highlighting both newly staked regional claim blocks and newly staked claims adjacent to the Company's core Montauban property. The decision to continuing staking and expand the land position follows the completion of ESGold's recently announced ambient noise tomography (ANT) based 3D geological model(the "Model") (see the Company's press release dated February 3, 2026 here), which identified a deep, laterally extensive anomaly that suggests the potential for a mineralized corridor extending to approximately 900 metres depth and over two kilometres of strike, remaining open beyond the limits of the existing survey area at the Company's Montauban property. The Model has materially expanded the interpreted footprint of the mineral system and has highlighted areas that had not been evaluated by historical operators at Montauban.Figure 2: ANT-based 3D geological model showing mineralized corridors extending beyond the available area prior to land expansion. Based on the interpretation of this new geological understanding from the Model, ESGold was able to quickly secure additional ground along the interpreted structural and lithological trends to ensure control over potential extensions of the system.Management CommentaryGordon Robb, Chief Executive Officer of ESGold, commented:"The recently completed 3D geological model fundamentally changed our understanding of Montauban and underscored the importance of securing control over the broader geological system. While we remain hyper focused on advancing Montauban toward near-term production of our tailings project, we are moving exploration forward in tandem, recognizing the opportunity to create value on two tracks simultaneously. The addition of nearly 76 square kilometres of strategically positioned ground around Montauban is aimed at providing the scale necessary to properly evaluate the potential extent of the mineralized corridor identified by the model and to ensure we are not constrained by the historical boundaries as we systematically assess what Montauban may ultimately become."Strategic Rationale for Expanded StakingThe expanded claim package positions ESGold to systematically evaluate the full extent of the Montauban mineral system as modern exploration advances beyond the historically mined footprint. Historical exploration in the region was largely confined to shallow depths and isolated zones, leaving much of the broader structural corridor untested.The newly staked claims may provide coverage over areas considered prospective for:along-strike extensions of modeled mineralization;parallel or stacked mineralized horizons; andstructural corridors interpreted to control fluid flow and mineral deposition.To date, only a portion of ESGold's land package has been evaluated using modern deep-penetrating geophysics.Next Phase of ExplorationBuilding on the results of the 3D geological model and expanded land position, ESGold is advancing the next phase of exploration, which will include:A significantly expanded ANT survey covering approximately 70 square kilometres, designed to assess the scale and continuity of the broader mineralized corridor:Integration of ANT results with existing geological, geochemical, and structural datasets; andDevelopment of a targeted step-out diamond drilling program focused on testing high-priority targets identified by the model and expanded geophysics.These exploration activities are being planned in parallel with the continued advancement of Montauban near-term production, which is expected to begin in 2026.Montauban (Historical Context)Reported historical production from the Montauban property includes approximately 150,000 ounces of gold, 7 million ounces of silver, 109,000 tonnes of zinc, and 37,000 tonnes of lead (source: John Langton, P.Geo., NI 43-101 Technical Report, February 4, 2022).Despite this production history, the broader Montauban region has never been systematically explored at a regional scale using modern techniques.Why the 3D Model and New Staked Ground Matters to InvestorsThis expanded land position reflects a critical inflection point for ESGold. As modern geophysics and 3D modeling indicate that mineralization at Montauban extends well beyond the historically mined footprint, control of a larger land position beyond the broader structural and geological setting becomes increasingly important. By consolidating this large, contiguous land package at this stage, ESGold is positioned to systematically evaluate the full potential of the emerging mineral system and not be constrained by its historical land base and boundaries. Limited opportunities allow for a company to redefine the scale of its historic mining camp while advancing towards production, and ESGold believes Montauban is now entering that phase.Qualified Person StatementThe technical content of this news release has been reviewed and approved by André Gauthier, P.Geo., a Director of ESGold and a Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects.

ESGold's Integrated 3D Geological Model Identifies Deep, Expanding Mineralized Corridor at Montauban, Supporting District-Scale Exploration PotentialFebruary 3, 2026 7:30 AM
ACCESS NewswireAdvanced ANT-based modeling indicates mineralization extending to approximately 900 metres depth and over 2 kilometres of strike, remaining open beyond current survey limits; Company plans expanded geophysical coverage and step-out drilling as Montauban continues to advance toward production in 2026VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESS Newswire / February 3, 2026 / ESGold Corp. (CSE:ESAU)(OTCQB:ESAUF)(FSE:Z7D) ("ESGold" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the completion and delivery of a comprehensive Ambient Noise Tomography (ANT)-based 3 dimensional (3D) geological model (the "Model") for the Montauban Project in Québec, prepared by Geomatic World Inc. in collaboration with CAUR Technologies.The integrated ANT-based 3D model illustrates mineralized architecture extending to depths of approximately 900 metres, significantly deeper than any historical exploration at Montauban, where most drilling was confined to shallow depths of approximately 50 metres and the deepest holes reached only approximately 250 metres. The Model also outlines approximately 2 kilometres of strike length within the current survey area, with mineralization appearing to widen at depth.Importantly, the identified mineralized trends remain open and are bounded by the limits of the existing ANT coverage, suggesting potential continuation beyond the current study area. In multiple orientations, the modeled mineralized corridors seem to extend to the edge of the current ANT survey, indicating that the system continues beyond the limits of existing coverageFigure 1: ANT-based 3D geological model showing mineralized corridors extending to the limits of current survey coverage, remaining open along strike and at depth. This Model represents the most advanced and integrated geological interpretation ever completed at Montauban and marks a pivotal milestone in the Company's evolution from a legacy mining site into a project with district-scale exploration potential advancing in parallel with near-term tailings production in 2026.Additional Information
A separate video showcasing the ANT-based 3D geological model is also available here: ANT-Based 3D Geological ModelManagement CommentaryGordon Robb, Chief Executive Officer of ESGold, commented:"This is the most important technical milestone in ESGold's history. The integrated 3D model has fundamentally changed how we understand Montauban. What is becoming clear is that mineralization extends well beyond the historically mined areas, to depths and along strike lengths that were never previously explored. The scale indicated by this work is beyond what we had originally envisioned, and it reinforces our conviction that Montauban has the potential to evolve into a much larger mineral system. We are more excited than ever to accelerate our efforts to fully explore what this project can become, while continuing to advance aggressively toward production."André Gauthier, Director of ESGold and the Company's senior consulting geologist, added:"The ANT and 3D geological modeling provide a coherent, technically robust framework that simply did not exist before. The identification of deep-seated structural corridors, lithological continuity, and coincident geochemical anomalies in areas that have never been drilled is highly encouraging. From a geological perspective, the size and continuity suggested by this model point to a system with significant upside potential. The priority now is to validate these interpretations through expanded geophysics and targeted drilling. This level of structural continuity at depth is particularly notable given the complexity of Grenville-age terranes and helps explain why this system was not previously recognized."Key Technical Highlights Based on ANT-Based 3D Geological ModelMineralized architecture imaged to depths of approximately 900 metres, which is significantly deeper than any historical exploration completed to date at MontaubanAt least 2 kilometres of strike length identified within the current ANT survey area, with mineralization appearing to widen at depthMineralized trends remain open and are truncated by the limits of the existing ANT coverage, indicating potential continuation beyond the current study areaIntegrated interpretation of ANT seismic velocity data, geological mapping, structural analysis, and geochemistry defines coherent lithological and structural corridors comparable to those hosting historical Montauban mineralization; andDominant NNW- and NE-trending structures interpreted as first-order controls on hydrothermal fluid flow and mineral deposition, consistent with large polymetallic volcanogenic massive sulfide (VHMS) systems globally.Next Steps: From Model to Drill Bit
Building on the results of this study, ESGold is advancing a systematic exploration plan that includes:Expansion of ANT coverage to evaluate the potential district-scale corridorIntegration of additional geophysical datasets to refine structural targetsDevelopment of a step-out diamond drilling program designed to test high-priority targets identified by the model: andThe Company anticipates commencement of drilling in early Spring 2026, subject to permitting, access, and logistics.These exploration activities are being planned and will advance in parallel with the Company's ongoing tailings project, as Montauban moves toward production in 2026.A Step Change in Geological Understanding
The Model demonstrates that mineralization at Montauban is not confined to the historically mined zones, but is part of a much larger, vertically extensive, and structurally controlled system. Importantly, the Model highlights areas that have never been drill tested by previous operators, largely due to the limitations of historical exploration methods in the structurally complex Grenville Province.Only a limited portion of ESGold's land package has been evaluated using ANT to date. Based on the strength and continuity of the features identified within the current survey area, the Company plans to expand ANT coverage to assess the full extent of the interpreted mineralized corridor, with the objective of defining the scale and geometry of the broader system.Positioned for Discovery While Advancing to Production
ESGold emphasizes that this exploration breakthrough is occurring as the Company continues to advance Montauban toward near-term production in 2026. As existing infrastructure and permitted processing capacity are brought online, any additional mineralization delineated through exploration has the potential to be integrated into future mine plans, subject to further evaluation. This allows exploration success to be pursued in parallel with development, providing leverage to discovery by reducing the time and capital typically required to convert new ounces into potential production, and supporting long-term value creation.About the ANT Study
The ANT-based 3D geological model was prepared by Geomatic World Inc., under the direction of Santiago Mayor, P.Geo., using seismic velocity data acquired by CAUR Technologies. ANT is a passive seismic method that leverages ambient vibrations to image subsurface density contrasts and structural features to depths of several kilometres. The resulting model is conceptual in nature and intended to guide exploration targeting; it is subject to refinement as additional data become available.Why This Matters to Investors
This milestone represents a fundamental inflection point for ESGold. The completion of the integrated ANT-based 3D geological model materially expands the scale of opportunity at Montauban, shifting the project from a historically constrained footprint to potentially a much larger, open-ended mineral system with the possibility for significant upside. Importantly, this exploration breakthrough is occurring as ESGold advances toward near-term production, creating a rare scenario where exploration success can be funded internally and rapidly translated into long-term value. For investors, Montauban is no longer a finite redevelopment story, but an expanding platform where cash flow, discovery potential, and disciplined execution converge-positioning ESGold to benefit from both rising precious metals markets and the delineation of a potential new mineral district. The upside at Montauban is likely no longer defined by a single zone or a finite footprint, but by the potential scale of a broader mineral system that is only beginning to be uncovered.Qualified Person Statement
