ESGold Corp. (CSE: ESAU) (OTCQB: ESAUF) has achieved a significant milestone in its journey toward becoming a near-term gold and silver producer. The company announced a definitive gold and silver dore purchase agreement with Ocean Partners UK Ltd., a move that secures a non-dilutive working capital facility of up to C$9 million. Under the terms of the agreement, Ocean Partners will purchase 100% of the dore production from ESGold's flagship Montauban Project in Quebec.
The agreement marks a pivotal shift for ESGold, which has been focused on acquiring, exploring, and developing high-quality mineral properties. According to the company, the partnership with Ocean Partners provides a stable financial foundation for the Montauban Project, which is currently under construction with production anticipated in 2026. ESGold CEO Gordon Robb emphasized the importance of the deal, stating that it validates the company's progress and strengthens its production strategy. “Ocean Partners is an internationally respected organization with extensive experience across metals trading, mine finance, and global mining operations,” Robb said. “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.”
