ESGold Corp. Commences Field Validation at Colombian Planta Magdalena Project

ESGold Corp. has deployed its geological and engineering team to Colombia to commence on-the-ground validation and due diligence at the Planta Magdalena Project. This field program follows the memorandum of understanding signed on August 20, 2025, and represents the transition from planning to operational execution for the mining company. The technical team's objectives include confirming historic tailings grades, assessing existing site infrastructure and throughput potential, and evaluating exploration opportunities across the Bolívar concession area.

These activities are crucial for determining the project's viability and scaling potential within ESGold's broader corporate strategy. Gordon Robb, CEO of ESGold, emphasized the significance of this development, stating that the team's presence in Colombia marks an exciting step forward in the company's strategy to build a scalable, multi-jurisdictional platform for responsible gold and silver production. The move from intent to execution demonstrates ESGold's commitment to advancing its international projects.

Concurrent with the field activities, ESGold has shipped bulk samples from both Colombia and Quebec to ALS Global in Val-d'Or for comprehensive metallurgical testing. These tests are designed to verify gold and silver recoveries under ESGold's clean-processing framework, which emphasizes environmentally responsible mining practices. The Planta Magdalena Project represents ESGold's expansion beyond its established operations in Quebec, where the company maintains its flagship Montauban property located 80 kilometers west of Quebec City.

This property serves as a model for responsible mining practices, combining near-term production with district-scale discovery potential.

The company's emphasis on clean processing and responsible practices aligns with growing industry standards for sustainable mineral extraction.
