ESGold Corp. (CSE: ESAU) (OTCQB: ESAUF) has achieved a significant milestone in its transition to near-term production by entering into a definitive gold and silver dore purchase agreement with Ocean Partners UK Ltd. Under the terms of the agreement, Ocean Partners will purchase 100% of the dore production from ESGold's flagship Montauban Project. In return, ESGold gains access to a non-dilutive working capital facility of up to C$9 million, providing critical funding as the company advances toward production.
Gordon Robb, CEO of ESGold, emphasized the importance of this agreement, noting that it marks the company's evolution from a development-stage entity to a near-term producer. "Ocean Partners is an internationally respected organization with extensive experience across metals trading, mine finance, and global mining operations," Robb stated. "Securing a definitive agreement with a group of this caliber significantly strengthens our production strategy and validates the progress our team has made behind the scenes."
The Montauban Gold-Silver Project in Quebec is fully permitted and currently under construction, with production anticipated in 2026. The project is central to ESGold's dual-track strategy of generating cash flow from near-term production while pursuing exploration for long-term growth. The working capital facility from Ocean Partners will be used to support the construction and development activities at Montauban, helping to de-risk the project's path to production.
This agreement is a critical step for ESGold as it seeks to establish itself as a near-term gold and silver producer. By securing a offtake partner and a non-dilutive financing source, the company is positioning itself to capitalize on the current precious metals market environment. The deal also provides validation of the project's economic viability and the quality of its dore production, as Ocean Partners is a reputable international metals trading and mine finance group.
