ESGold Corp. (CSE: ESAU) (OTCQB: ESAUF) has achieved a significant milestone in its transition to a near-term producer by entering into a definitive gold and silver dore purchase agreement with Ocean Partners UK Ltd. The agreement, announced recently, outlines that 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.
ESGold's CEO Gordon Robb emphasized the importance of this milestone, noting it marks the company's evolution from a development-stage company 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 Project, located in Quebec, is a fully permitted gold-silver project under construction, with production anticipated in 2026. The agreement with Ocean Partners provides ESGold with a stable offtake partner and working capital to support its ramp-up to production. This partnership is expected to de-risk the project financially and operationally, as Ocean Partners brings decades of experience in metals trading and mine finance.
