ESGold Corp. (CSE: ESAU) (OTCQB: ESAUF) announced the delivery of a propane-fired tilting furnace at its Montauban Gold-Silver Project in Quebec, marking a significant infrastructure milestone as the company advances toward commissioning. The furnace, capable of holding and melting up to 150 kilograms of metal at temperatures up to 1300°C, will support on-site melting and casting of gold and silver into doré bars.
