ESGold Corp (CSE: ESAU) Completes Deep Subsurface Imaging at Montauban
ESGold has completed a groundbreaking Ambient Noise Tomography (ANT) survey at its Montauban Project in Quebec, achieving imaging depths of over 800 meters—double the initial expectations.
The 3D subsurface model, now in development, will refine drill targets and could confirm the presence of an expanded mineralized system.

With a $54.4 million contract backlog—87% denominated in USD—PyroGenesis is well-positioned for further growth as global demand for decarbonized, electrified industrial solutions rises. Its high-margin technologies are gaining adoption as governments and corporations transition away from fossil fuels.
Zefiro Methane Corp (Cboe Canada: ZEFI) Remediates 18 Orphaned Wells in Pennsylvania
Zefiro Methane, through its subsidiary Plants & Goodwin, has completed the remediation of 18 orphaned oil and gas wells in Clarion County, Pennsylvania. One well was located just six feet from a private drinking water source and had rendered it unusable due to contamination.
The project underscores the environmental and public health importance of Zefiro’s work—and the growing demand for certified remediation services as federal and state governments fund well-plugging programs.
Zefiro is building a scalable business model at the intersection of environmental cleanup, methane reduction, and infrastructure modernization.
