ESGold to Focus on Montauban Plant Production
ESGOLD TO FOCUS ON MONTAUBAN PLANT PRODUCTION
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA – July 24, 2024, ESGold Corp. (“ESGold” or the
“Company”) (CSE: ESAU, Frankfurt: N2W, OTC: SEKZF), is pleased to announce a shift in
the operating focus of the Company.
ESGold’s operating focus is to get the Montauban Plant into production in the near future. The
Company is in a position to begin the final phase of construction on the mill. Further, the Preliminary
Economic Assessment (“PEA”) prepared last year is being updated with current market conditions
and the preliminary results have demonstrated significant escalation of the Net Present Value and
Internal Rate of Return of the entire Montauban Project
“ESGold must take advantage of current market conditions and the rapid construction path to put
the Montauban Plant into production,” stated Brad Kitchen, President of ESGold Corp. “ The
Company has done a good job in the last couple of years to expand the future potential of an
increased near -surface and under -ground resource but must now pivot to focus on capturing
revenue.”
At the Montauban Plant, the Company currently has:
• Infrastructure in place includes steel structure building (16,000 ft2), Quebec Hydro power line
and all access roads to mill building and tailings piles;
• 60% of the required milling equipment required to operate which is on-site;
• Finalized engineering and construction plans;
• Construction and operating permits in place or are in process of being finalized; and
• Confirmation that construction of the processing circuit will take 9 to 12 months.
The Company estimates that it will cost approximately C$8.0 million to complete construction on
the Montauban Plant. Management hopes to secure this financing through non- dilutive means,
including a C$2.0 million credit facility already in place (the “Loan Facility”).
In addition to the Loan Facility, the Company is pleased to announce a non-brokered private
placement (the “Offering”) of up to 5,000,000 free trading common shares (the “Shares”) at a price
of $0.10 per Share, for aggregate gross proceeds of up to $500,000 (the “Proceeds”).
The Company intends to use the Proceeds from the Offering for exploration activities and general
working capital. The Offering is expected to close on or before August 15, 2024. The Offering is
subject to certain conditions including, but not limited to, receipt of all necessary approvals including
the approval of the Canadian Securities Commission (the “CSE”).
The Company may pay eligible finders a fee (the “Finder’s Fees”) on the Offering within the amount
permitted by the policies of the C SE. The Company may pay certain finders a commission of 8%
cash and/or 8% non-transferable share purchase warrants (the “Finder’s Warrants”) at an exercise
price $0.15 per Finder’s Warrant Share for a period of 12 months from the date of issuance.
The Offering is being completed pursuant to the listed issuer financing exemption under Part 5A of
National Instrument 45-106 Prospectus Exemptions and therefore the securities issued in the Offering
will not be subject to a hold period in accordance with applicable Canadian securities laws. There
will be an offering document related to the Offering that will be available under the Company's profile
at www.sedarplus.ca and on the Company’s website at www.esgold.com. Prospective investors

States or in any other jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.
