The MiningNewsWire Podcast

June 27, 2025

Gold’s meteoric rally, fueled by waning confidence in U.S. fiscal policy and soaring inflation, has not only pushed prices past the historic US$3,300 per ounce mark in early 2025 but also opened the door to even more ambitious forecasts. Some analysts now predict a climb to US$4,000 within the next 12 to 18 months. With this in mind, gold-focused equities and Canadian gold producers are gaining renewed attention for offering high leverage to rising bullion prices within a stable jurisdiction known for quality deposits and operational reliability. Among these, LaFleur Minerals Inc. (CSE: LFLR) (OTCQB: LFLRF) (FSE: 3WK0) (Profile) stands out with its fully permitted gold mill situated in Canada’s most prolific gold-producing region — a combination that aligns perfectly with today’s market demands, providing investors both near-term production potential and exposure to the upside of surging gold. LaFleur Minerals is laser focused on positioning itself as a strong contender in a space known for quality gold-mining operations, including Barrick Mining Corporation (NYSE: B) (TSX: ABX), Royal Gold (NASDAQ: RGLD), Nicola Mining (TSX.V: NIM) (OTCQB: HUSIF) and ESGold Corp. (CSE: ESAU) (OTCQB: ESAUF).

About LaFleur Minerals Inc.

LaFleur Minerals Inc. is focused on the development of district-scale gold projects in the Abitibi Gold Belt near Val-d’Or, Québec. Our mission is to advance mining projects with a laser focus on our resource-stage Swanson Gold Project and the Beacon Gold Mill, which have significant potential to deliver long-term value. The Swanson Gold Project is approximately 16,600 hectares (166 km2) in size and includes several prospects rich in gold and critical metals previously held by Monarch Mining, Abcourt Mines, and Globex Mining. LaFleur has recently consolidated a large land package along a major structural break that hosts the Swanson, Bartec, and Jolin gold deposits and several other showings which make up the Swanson Gold Project. The Swanson Gold Project is easily accessible by road with a rail line running through the property allowing direct access to several nearby gold mills, further enhancing its development potential. Lafleur Minerals’ fully-refurbished and permitted Beacon Gold Mill is capable of processing over 750 tonnes per day and is being considered for processing mineralized material at Swanson and for custom milling operations for other nearby gold projects.

AUSTIN, Texas, June 10, 2025 – via IBN – IBN, a multifaceted communications organization engaged in connecting public companies to the investment community, is pleased to announce the release of the latest episode of The MiningNewsWire Podcast as part of its sustained effort to provide specialized content distribution via widespread syndication channels.

The MiningNewsWire Podcast features revealing sit-downs with executives who are shaping the future of the global mining industry. The latest episode features Peter Espig, CEO and Director of Nicola Mining Inc. (TSX.V: NIM) (OTCQB: HUSIF), a junior resource company focused on monetizing high-grade mineral assets in British Columbia.

To begin the interview, Peter outlined Nicola Mining’s mission: delivering shareholder exposure to gold, silver and copper while maintaining a disciplined, cash-flow-first approach.

“We aim to provide shareholders exposure to gold, silver and copper with a strong foundation of cash flow,” he said, citing his background in distressed debt. “We’ve worked hard to get the company where it is today. We have all our permits, we’re producing, and we’re generating operating cash flow that reduces the need for dilution.” He added that Nicola still offers “the upside of an explorer” through its copper asset and is now actively monetizing — a position many peers haven’t yet reached.

Peter went on to discuss the company’s infrastructure advantage: owning and operating British Columbia’s only provincially permitted mill capable of processing gold and silver from across the province.

“Our permit reads: Nicola Mining has the right to accept and process gold and silver mill feed from anywhere in British Columbia,” he explained. “There’s no need for additional testing or consultation — we’ve already completed that.” Production at Nicola’s Merritt-based mill resumed in June 2025, marking a shift to consistent operations at the centrally located New Craigmont site, which also hosts the company’s copper exploration project.”

He also framed Nicola as a hub for smaller high-grade projects that can’t justify mill construction. “We’re the airport, and all those high-grade projects not backed by billion-dollar companies are the airplanes,” he said. “They need a place to land, and that material comes to us.” As cash flow scales, Nicola plans to take a measured acquisition approach, targeting near-production assets that can be integrated over time to build long-term value around its milling infrastructure.

Join IBN’s Carmel Fisher and Peter Espig, CEO and Director of Nicola Mining, for a discussion on ramping up gold production, advancing key B.C. assets and building long-term value through disciplined growth.

AUSTIN, Texas, June 6, 2025 – via IBN – NetworkNewsAudio announces the Audio Press Release (APR) titled " Next Gold Powerhouse Emerges as Prices Break Records," featuring ESGold Corp. (CSE: ESAU) (OTCQB: ESAUF).

To hear the NetworkNewsAudio version, visit https://nnw.fm/RXwAi

To read the original editorial, visit https://nnw.fm/A3rsX

Earlier this year, ESGold closed on C$3.45 million financing earmarked to advance its Montauban Project toward production. This successful closing marked a pivotal point for the company, providing the necessary capital to initiate mill circuit construction and mobilize the final phase of development at Montauban. Located in Quebec, Montauban is a past-producing gold-silver mine with surface and underground mineralization and more than 900,000 tons of historical tailings.

With much of the funding in place, ESGold has already begun on-site construction and assembly at Montauban, a key milestone that moves the company into the execution phase of its accelerated production strategy, targeting near-term cash flow within the next six months. The construction and mobilization stage is expected to last about a month. According to the company, this is the final major phase of infrastructure development before production begins, transforming Montauban from a legacy mine site into one of Canada’s next active gold and silver operations.

“This is the moment we’ve been working toward — breaking ground and moving decisively toward gold and silver production,” a member of ESGold’s leadership team stated in a news release. “Our team, contractors and stakeholders are aligned and energized to deliver on our strategy. We are building a clean, scalable and modern operation that reflects the new era of mining in Quebec. With production targeted for Q4, Montauban is on track to become a model for sustainable redevelopment of legacy mines.”

About ESGold Corp.

ESGold Corp. (CSE: ESAU) (OTCQB: ESAUF) is a fully permitted, preproduction resource company at the forefront of clean mining and exploration innovation. With proven expertise in Quebec, the company is advancing its projects toward production and feasibility while delivering long-term value through sustainable resource recovery and exploration. ESGold’s flagship Montauban property, located 80 kilometers west of Quebec City, serves as a model for responsible mining practices, combining near-term production with district-scale discovery potential.

AUSTIN, Texas, May 14, 2025 – via IBN – IBN, a multifaceted communications organization engaged in connecting public companies to the investment community, is pleased to announce the release of the latest episode of The MiningNewsWire Podcast as part of its sustained effort to provide specialized content distribution via widespread syndication channels.

The MiningNewsWire Podcast features revealing sit-downs with executives who are shaping the future of the global mining industry. The latest episode features Brad Kitchen, President and Director of ESGold Corp. (CSE: ESAU) (OTCQB: ESAUF), a fully permitted, pre-production resource company on a clear path to near-term gold and silver production.

To begin the interview, Kitchen outlined ESGold’s unique approach—prioritizing near-term production from historic tailings to fund future exploration and long-term growth.

“We’re different from every other junior resource company in that we are looking for gold and silver, but we’re actually going to be in production first and then follow up with our exploration,” Kitchen said. “We’re in a very unique situation in that we’re fully permitted… We’re actually taking the revenue from tailings. Montauban was a mine for 80 years. There’s roughly $100 million worth of tailings sitting on the ground that needs to be reprocessed.”

Kitchen noted that while production is still ramping up, ESGold’s return to Montauban is already having an impact on the local community.

“Not that we even started in production yet, but there’s that small little element that we’ve already brought to the community that we want to continue,” he added. “We’re not generating a ton of jobs—it’ll be about 20 to 30—but they’re good, solid jobs, and the numbers will likely increase as we do more exploration and potentially do some mining on the site.”

Kitchen next detailed his goals for the company.

“We have three key components. One is to get into production; two is to explore and develop a model of the resource; and three is to make sure everybody knows about it,” Kitchen said. “We’ve developed an extremely good operations plan. We’ve mirrored that with our marketing plan, so people will be aware of what we’re doing. This isn’t rocket science. It’s taking an existing product and extracting so much value—especially in today’s market.”

Join IBN’s Stuart Smith and Brad Kitchen, President and Director of ESGold Corp., for a discussion on the company’s tailings-to-production strategy and key milestones targeted for the remainder of 2025.

AUSTIN, Texas, May 14, 2025 – via IBN – IBN, a multifaceted communications organization engaged in connecting public companies to the investment community, is pleased to announce the release of the latest episode of The MiningNewsWire Podcast as part of its sustained effort to provide specialized content distribution via widespread syndication channels.

The MiningNewsWire Podcast features revealing sit-downs with executives who are shaping the future of the global mining industry. The latest episode features Brad Kitchen, President and Director of ESGold Corp. (CSE: ESAU) (OTCQB: ESAUF), a fully permitted, pre-production resource company on a clear path to near-term gold and silver production.

To begin the interview, Kitchen outlined ESGold’s unique approach—prioritizing near-term production from historic tailings to fund future exploration and long-term growth.

“We’re different from every other junior resource company in that we are looking for gold and silver, but we’re actually going to be in production first and then follow up with our exploration,” Kitchen said. “We’re in a very unique situation in that we’re fully permitted… We’re actually taking the revenue from tailings. Montauban was a mine for 80 years. There’s roughly $100 million worth of tailings sitting on the ground that needs to be reprocessed.”

Kitchen noted that while production is still ramping up, ESGold’s return to Montauban is already having an impact on the local community.

“Not that we even started in production yet, but there’s that small little element that we’ve already brought to the community that we want to continue,” he added. “We’re not generating a ton of jobs—it’ll be about 20 to 30—but they’re good, solid jobs, and the numbers will likely increase as we do more exploration and potentially do some mining on the site.”

Kitchen next detailed his goals for the company.

“We have three key components. One is to get into production; two is to explore and develop a model of the resource; and three is to make sure everybody knows about it,” Kitchen said. “We’ve developed an extremely good operations plan. We’ve mirrored that with our marketing plan, so people will be aware of what we’re doing. This isn’t rocket science. It’s taking an existing product and extracting so much value—especially in today’s market.”

Join IBN’s Stuart Smith and Brad Kitchen, President and Director of ESGold Corp., for a discussion on the company’s tailings-to-production strategy and key milestones targeted for the remainder of 2025.

AUSTIN, Texas, April 30, 2025 – via IBN – IBN, a multifaceted communications organization engaged in connecting public companies to the investment community, is pleased to announce the release of the latest episode of The MiningNewsWire Podcast as part of its sustained effort to provide specialized content distribution via widespread syndication channels.

The MiningNewsWire Podcast features revealing sit-downs with executives who are shaping the future of the global mining industry. The latest episode features Frank R. Hallam, Co-Founder, Director, President, and CEO of Platinum Group Metals Ltd. (NYSE American: PLG) (TSX: PTM), operator of the Waterberg Project, a bulk underground palladium and platinum deposit located in South Africa.

To begin the interview, Hallam provided an overview of the platinum industry in South Africa and explained why the Waterberg Project offers such promise.

“The platinum industry in South Africa provides about 70% of the world's platinum. It's mined primarily in two mineralized layers, or reefs, as we call them – the Merensky Reef and the UG2 Reef,” he said. “They're typically mined at about one-to-three-meters thick, and they're getting deeper now. They’ve been mining in these zones for 50 to 100 years. It’s very labor intensive and dangerous work.”

“We discovered the Waterberg deposit in 2011. It’s a brand-new discovery. It’s shallow, at about 140 meters vertical, but the most important feature about it is that it’s thick – over 100 meters thick in places. Because it’s shallow and thick, we can access the deposit with declines, kind of like a tunnel going into a mountain rather than a vertical shaft.”

“You can use machinery, remote mucking, large trucks, and multiple drill jumbos. All of these things are kind of like force multipliers for men. We can mine with far fewer people. We can keep them away from the rock face and let the machines do the work. It’s very efficient, low cost, and safe.”

Join IBN’s Carmel Fisher and Frank R. Hallam, Co-Founder, Director, President, and CEO of Platinum Group Metals, to learn more about Lion Battery Technologies, the company’s joint venture focused on exploring the use of palladium and platinum in lithium battery applications.
