ESGold Corp. (CSE: ESAU | OTCQB: ESAUF | FSE: Z7D) has announced the arrival of a Falcon Gravity Concentrator and a series of industrial thickeners at its fully permitted Montauban Gold-Silver Project in Québec, marking another milestone in the company's ongoing commissioning program. The equipment, now on site, will move through installation, integration, and commissioning as part of ESGold's broader effort to bring its 1,000-tonne-per-day processing facility into operation. The announcement signals continued physical progress at Montauban as the company works toward establishing operating cash flow from historic tailings reprocessing.

Key Points

  • ESGold Corp. (CSE: ESAU | OTCQB: ESAUF | FSE: Z7D) announced key equipment arrivals at Montauban on September 10, 2026
  • A Sepro Mineral Systems Falcon Gravity Concentrator and industrial thickeners supplied through A.M. King have arrived at the Québec project site
  • The facility is designed for a permitted capacity of up to 1,000 tonnes per day and incorporates a Merrill-Crowe recovery circuit
  • Investors may be watching the pace of installation, integration, and commissioning activity as the company advances toward operational readiness

Falcon Gravity Concentrator Expands Precious-Metal Recovery Capability at Montauban

The Falcon Gravity Concentrator, manufactured by Sepro Mineral Systems, uses high-speed centrifugal forces to separate heavier valuable minerals from lighter material, making it particularly effective at recovering fine liberated gold, silver, and other precious metals. At Montauban, the unit will form an integrated part of the broader processing flowsheet, operating alongside the plant's separation, thickening, leaching, and recovery systems. The release states the concentrator is intended to support overall precious-metal recovery across the complete processing circuit as commissioning activities continue.

Industrial Thickeners to Support Solid-Liquid Separation and Water Management

The series of industrial thickeners supplied through A.M. King will play an important role in solid-liquid separation within the Montauban processing circuit. By allowing mineral slurry to settle under controlled conditions, the thickeners produce a higher-density underflow while clarified overflow is recovered and reused within the process. The disclosure suggests these components will support both process control and water management by maintaining appropriate slurry conditions for downstream processing while reducing fresh-water requirements, contributing to ESGold's clean mining approach at the site.

Montauban Flowsheet Takes Shape as Main Mill Infrastructure Nears Completion

ESGold reports that the main mill building is complete and that major processing components continue to arrive at site. The Montauban facility's broader flowsheet encompasses screening and separation, grinding, cyanide leaching, clarification and de-oxygenation, Merrill-Crowe precipitation, and doré production. The company's Operations Director noted in the release that commissioning is a progressive process, with each component installed, connected, and tested moving the overall processing system forward. The company's stated strategy is to generate recurring operating cash flow from historic tailings reprocessing while advancing district-scale exploration.
