ESGold Corp. announced that it has staked an additional 39 Mining Claims totaling 2286 hectares. The staked mining claims are open ground adjacent to its main mining claim block.

More specifically some of the newly acquired mining claims are directly adjacent to semi massive sulphides (35%65%) showings as indicated on the Gestim website. With the acquisition ESGold now holds 255 mining claims totaling approximately 13,116 hectares representing the largest mining claim package held by one mining company within the Montauban mining region. ESGold with its commitment to responsible resource development and sustainable mining practices, is embarking on an ambitious exploration program aimed at unlocking the full mineral potential of the region.

Through systematic claim staking, the company aims to strategically position itself to capitalize on promising mineral deposits while ensuring environmental stewardship and community engagement. The decision to continue additional claims staking was based on the continued positive results of comprehensive and systematic geological surveys, including geophysical and geochemical analyses and preliminary exploration activities that have indicated significant potential mineralization within the region. One of the primary objectives of the company is to delineate the regional mineralization trends and identify potential targets for further exploration and development as well as to verify the immediate extension of the deposit at depth.

Reported historical past production from the Montauban Property includes 150,000 ounces of gold, and 7,000,000 ounces of silver as well as 109,000 metric tons of zinc and 37,000 metric tons of lead. The Montauban mines, known for their zinc and silver deposits, have not been systematically explored on a regional scale. This lack of in-depth exploration could be due to several factors, including but not limited to geographic constraints, limited financial resources, or a lack of interest in the past.

Additionally, the Montauban deposits are primarily associated with massive sulfides, meaning that zinc and silver minerals are present in high concentrations in specific areas rather than disseminated. Historical results and past work clearly demonstrate the continued development of the property over the years on a limited area of the bearing geological unit. Underground workings include declines, shafts, and an extensive network of drifts on various levels.

Additionally, of the many significant highlights on the property, the south strike zone contains near surface mineralised rock as well as the St.
