Delivery of Humphrey Spirals Marks Key Milestone in Construction Timeline; Circuit Designed for 1,000 TPD Tailings Reprocessing to Produce Gold, Silver, and Mica
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - May 27, 2025) - ESGold Corp. (CSE: ESAU) (OTCQB: ESAUF) (FSE: Z7D) ("ESGold" or the "Company"), a fully permitted, near-term gold and silver mining company, is pleased to announce the successful delivery of its Humphrey spiral concentrators to the Montauban site in Quebec. These spirals complete the full gravity separation circuit-an essential piece of infrastructure that brings ESGold one step closer to production.
The circuit is designed to process up to 1,000 tonnes per day (TPD) of historic tailings into a marketable mica concentrate, while also recovering gold and silver through ESGold's integrated processing flow.

A Tangible Step Toward Production
The installation of the gravity separation system is a foundational step in ESGold's transition as it moves toward becoming one of Canada's next gold and silver mining companies. The Humphrey Spirals are industry-standard gravity concentrators that utilize centrifugal force and fluid dynamics to separate lighter waste material from heavier, valuable minerals such as mica, gold, and silver. Widely used in mineral processing operations around the world, these systems are known for their efficiency, low operating cost, and ability to operate without chemical reagents-making them ideal for high-throughput tailings reprocessing. This system will process the Montauban tailings into a clean, marketable mica concentrate, while recovering residual gold and silver values using the Company's integrated processing approach.
Combined with existing infrastructure, this equipment establishes the backbone of the Company's tailings-to-cash flow model, enabling production of valuable industrial minerals with a minimal environmental footprint.
"The delivery of our gravity separation circuit marks a tangible step as we accelerate toward production," said Paul Mastantuono, CEO of ESGold. "With boots on the ground, key equipment on site, and construction progressing on schedule, there is a high level of excitement across the company. It's one thing to plan for production-it's another to physically see it coming together for our shareholders."
Next Steps
- Updated Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) coming soon, expected to outline enhanced project economics based on current metal prices
- Circuit Assembly & Integration: On-site installation of the gravity system and final mechanical alignment
- First Production: Remains on track for year-end 2025
