# ESGold Corp. - Press Release \(September 24, 2026\) Canonical Atlas analysis: https://atlas-staging.minestarters.com/news/esgold-corp-press-release-september-24-2026--b8a4692b-6bb6-421a-95a6-6a248fed8bc0 Original source: https://webfiles-primary.thecse.com/news_releases/neutral/4173/240dac8c-f24a-4ed5-9c95-f12fd7215c93 Publisher: cse Original announcement: 2026-09-24T15:11:06.000Z Analysis by Minestarters Atlas Atlas analysis published: 2026-09-24T15:17:56.999Z Atlas analysis updated: 2026-09-24T15:17:56.999Z - Company: ESGold Corp. - Ticker: ESAU - Exchange: CSE - Region: Québec - Primary commodity: Gold - Secondary commodities: Silver - Document categories: Drill results, Other - Extracted: 2026-09-24 15:17:57 UTC Narrative sentiment: 0.30 · Bullish ## Minestarters Atlas summary ESGold Corp. has completed approximately 2,030 metres of its 5,000-metre diamond drilling program at the Montauban Project. While sulphide-bearing intervals \(pyrite, pyrrhotite, and galena\) have been visually identified in several holes, assay results for the 400 submitted samples are still pending. Reasoning: The company reached a drilling milestone and observed sulphides, but no assay grades were reported in this release. - Positive factor: milestone achievement - Positive factor: sulphide presence observed - Positive factor: program advancing - Negative factor: assay results pending - Negative factor: visual observations only Facts used in scoring: 4 ## Classification and evidence **No QA/QC Disclosure** Polarity: negative Definition: Release does not disclose QA/QC — lab certification, CP/QP sign-off and assay protocols cannot be checked from this document. Why it applies: While the company mentions QA/QC procedures and a lab, specific assay results are pending, making the actual quality of the data currently unverifiable. Evidence · text > Assay results will be reported as they are received, reviewed and validated under the Company’s QA/QC procedures. ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 4. Some facts used in scoring do not have a stored record. ## Drill Results (4) ### MM-26-03 [Link to this fact](https://atlas-staging.minestarters.com/news/esgold-corp-press-release-september-24-2026--b8a4692b-6bb6-421a-95a6-6a248fed8bc0#fact-drill-facts-0) Montauban · gold #### Identity - Hole ID: MM-26-03 - Project: Montauban - Commodity: gold - Region: canada\_qc - Reported Region: canada\_qc - Ticker: ESAU #### Geometry - Intercept: 4.26 m - From: 20.42 m - To: 24.68 m - Intercept Depth: 20.42 m #### Classification - Program: exploration - Sample Type: drill - Group ID: MM-26-03:20.42-24.68 #### QA/QC - Laboratory: SGS Laboratories - QA/QC Disclosed: Yes - QP Signed: Yes - QA/QC Methods: standards #### Review - Needs Review: No - Interp.

Sentiment reflects the extracted narrative and classification rules; it is an interpretation, not a reported measurement. Evidence quotes and context are provided where available. Missing data, low-confidence results, and review flags indicate limitations. Check the original publisher announcement before relying on an interpretation.
