Platinum Group Metals Ltd. (TSX: PTM) (NYSE American: PLG)

The QualityStocks Daily Newsletter would like to spotlight Platinum Group Metals Ltd. (TSX: PTM) (NYSE American: PLG).

The electric car revolution has gained significant momentum in the recent years as countries around the world continue to phase out fossil fuels in favor of renewable energy. While the adoption of electric cars has made impressive strides, the aviation industry has lagged. The lack of growth in battery technology in this particular sector may be attributed to bulky Li-ion batteries and the fact that battery tech is currently unable to meet the power demands of airliners. For flights to be completely battery-powered, the power density of Li-ion batteries would need to be increased to 1000 watt-hours per kg. While this isn't possible, researchers have been exploring alternative options like sodium-air batteries, which possess more energy density but have issues when it comes to recharging. Researchers involved in the study include Saahir Ganti-Agrawal, Yet-Ming Chiang, Karen Sugano, Venkatasubramanian Viswanathan, Shashank Sripad, Alden Friesen, Sunil Mair, William Woodford, and Kailash Raman. Their primary focus now is to secure funding to bring their prototypes closer to commercialization, having already established a start-up, Propel Aero. If this new battery chemistry is commercialized, it could open up a whole new ecosystem that would create new market opportunities for enterprises like Platinum Group Metals Ltd. (NYSE American: PLG) (TSX: PTM) that are working to produce PGMs critical for battery making.

Platinum Group Metals Ltd. (NYSE American: PLG) (TSX: PTM) is the operator of the Waterberg Project, a bulk underground platinum group metals (PGM) deposit discovered by Platinum Group in 2011 and located on the Northern Limb of the Bushveld Complex in South Africa. The Waterberg Project is planned as a fully mechanised platinum, palladium, rhodium and gold mine, including by-product copper and nickel production, and is projected to be one of the largest and lowest cost PGM mines globally.

The project is a joint venture between Platinum Group; integrated PGM producer Impala Platinum Holdings Ltd. (OTCQX: IMPUY); Japanese consortium HJ Platinum, which includes trading house Hanwa Co. and the government-backed Japan Organization for Metals and Energy Security (JOGMEC); and local empowerment partner Mnombo Wethu Consultants (Pty) Ltd. Platinum Group has an effective 50.22% interest in the Waterberg Project.

The company’s primary business objective is to advance the Waterberg Project to a development and construction decision. An update to the 2019 Definite Feasibility Study is expected in 2024.

PGMs are essential and precious metals that include platinum, palladium, rhodium, iridium, osmium and ruthenium. These metals are known for their purity, high melting points and unique catalytic properties. They are utilized in a number of industrial processes, technologies and commercial applications and play a critical role in autocatalysis and pollution control in the automotive sector. The bulk of global PGMs are mined in Southern Africa and Russia.

The unique properties of PGMs are being applied to various technologies as possible solutions for more efficient energy generation and storage, which may create new demand for PGMs. The company’s battery technology initiative through Lion Battery Technologies Inc., using platinum and palladium in lithium battery technologies, represents one such new opportunity in the high-profile lithium battery research and innovation field.

Platinum Group Metals Ltd. founded Lion Battery Technologies Inc. in partnership with Anglo American Platinum Ltd. (AMS: JNB) to support the use of palladium and platinum in lithium battery applications. Lion Battery has entered into an agreement with Florida International University to further advance a research program that uses platinum and palladium to unlock the potential of Lithium Sulfur (Li-S) battery chemistries.

Platinum Group is headquartered in Vancouver, B.C., and Johannesburg, South Africa.

Waterberg Project

Platinum Group’s sole material mineral property, the Waterberg Project, is presently in process with pre-construction permitting; engineering work, including road upgrade and traffic studies; finalization of power and water infrastructure design; and construction camp design.

The company’s principal product from the Waterberg Project is planned to be a PGM-bearing concentrate. The concentrate will contain economic amounts of six elements comprising platinum, palladium, rhodium, gold, copper and nickel. The company’s partner in the Waterberg Project, Impala Platinum Holdings, has acquired a right of first refusal to enter into an offtake agreement, on commercial arm’s-length terms, for the smelting and refining of mineral products from the Waterberg Project.

The Waterberg project has proven and estimated reserves of 19.5 million ounces of PGMs and gold. When fully operational, the mine is projected to produce more than 400,000 ounces of PGMs annually during the peak period of steady state production. The life of the mine is projected at 45 years.

South Africa’s PGM mining sector remains closely tied to economic developments in the global automotive industry, which in 2022 accounted for approximately 43% of the total global demand for platinum and 82% of the total global demand for palladium.

Market Opportunity

According to a report from Straits Research, a global market and business research firm, the worldwide platinum market had an estimated value of $7.72 billion in 2022 and is projected to reach $11.95 billion by 2031. That represents a CAGR of 5.13% over the forecast period.

Platinum, one of the rarest of precious metals, is about 30 times scarcer than gold. It is crucial to the automotive and electronics industries and is also used to make jewelry. Stricter emissions regulations around the world have led to an increased demand for platinum to be used in catalytic converters to reduce automotive emission, the report states.

A report from Allied Market Research estimated the global palladium market at $16.3 billion in 2021 and projects the market will reach $28.6 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 5.8% over the period.

Palladium is also used in automotive catalytic converters for reducing emissions and in jewelry, dentistry, watchmaking, blood sugar test strips, aircraft spark plugs, surgical instruments, electrical contacts and musical instruments.

An increase in demand for consumer electronics has driven demand for palladium-based multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCC) used to store energy in electronic devices such as broadcasting equipment, mobile telephones, computers, electronic lighting and high voltage circuits, according to the report.

CNS Pharmaceuticals Inc. (NASDAQ: CNSP)

The QualityStocks Daily Newsletter would like to spotlight CNS Pharmaceuticals Inc. (NASDAQ: CNSP).

A recent study conducted by experts based at University of Nottingham in the UK has revealed that young individuals afflicted by certain kinds of cancer like bone malignancies take longer before being diagnosed. Cancer among children is now regarded to be a worldwide disease burden, and getting an early diagnosis has been made a priority. The researchers undertook their study in order to enable the broader research community to get an understanding of what kids and young people go through starting with the onset of symptoms to the point at which a cancer diagnosis is made. The study also discovered that in nearly 8 out of 10 cases, the subjects required 1-3 hospital visits before being diagnosed with the cancer affecting them. Brain cancers, soft tissue cancers and bone cancers often required more hospital visits before a diagnosis could be made. The team hopes that their findings will help in designing interventions to reduce the duration before diagnosis in the cases that exhibited the longer times prior to a diagnosis being made. As these efforts to reduce the time before a diagnosis is made get underway, other parallel efforts by companies like CNS Pharmaceuticals Inc. (NASDAQ: CNSP) to develop more efficacious treatments for pediatric central nervous system cancers and brain tumors in general, are also taking place to improve patient outcomes.

CNS Pharmaceuticals Inc. (NASDAQ: CNSP) is a clinical stage biotechnology company specializing in the development of novel treatments for primary and metastatic cancers of the brain and central nervous system.

The company was founded in 2017 and is headquartered in Houston, Texas.

Organ Targeted Therapeutics

The company’s lead drug candidate, Berubicin, is proposed for the treatment of glioblastoma multiforme (“GBM”), an aggressive and incurable form of brain cancer. Berubicin also has potential to treat other central nervous system malignancies. Based on limited clinical data, Berubicin appears to be the first anthracycline to cross the blood brain barrier in the adult brain, and it was the subject of a successful Phase 1 study which found the MDT and produced efficacy data as well.

CNS holds a worldwide exclusive license to the Berubicin chemical compound. The company has acquired all requisite data and know-how from Reata Pharmaceuticals Inc. related to a completed Phase I clinical trial of Berubicin in malignant brain tumors. In this trial, 44% of patients experienced a statistically significant improvement in clinical benefit. In 2017, CNS entered into a collaboration and asset purchase agreement with Reata.

CNS intends to explore the potential of Berubicin to treat other diseases, including pancreatic and ovarian cancers and lymphoma. The company is also examining plans to develop combination therapies that include Berubicin.

CNS estimates that more than $25 million in private capital and grants were invested in Berubicin prior to the company’s $9.8 million IPO in November 2019.

CNS intends to submit an IND for Berubicin during the fourth quarter of 2020 and expects to commence a Phase II clinical trial of Berubicin for the treatment of GBM in the U.S. in Q1 2021. A sub-licensee partner was awarded a $6 million EU/Polish National Center for Research and Development grant to undertake a Phase II trial of Berubicin in adults and a first-ever Phase I trial in pediatric GBM patients in Poland in 2021.

The company’s second drug candidate, WP1244, is a novel DNA binding agent licensed from the MD Anderson Cancer Center. In preclinical studies, WP1244 proved to be 500-times more potent than the chemotherapeutic agent, daunorubicin, in inhibiting tumor cell proliferation. The company has entered into a sponsored research agreement with the MD Anderson Cancer Center to further the development of WP1244.

CNS Pharmaceuticals recently engaged U.S.-based Pharmaceutics International Inc. and Italian BSP Pharmaceuticals SpA for the production of the Berubicin drug product. The company has implemented a dual-track manufacturing strategy to mitigate COVID-19-related risks, diversify its supply chain and provide for localized availability of Berubicin. CNS has already completed synthesis of Berubicin’s active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) and has shipped the API to both manufacturers in order to prepare an injectable form of Berubicin for clinical use.

Global Brain Tumor Therapeutics Market

The high recurrence rate of malignant brain tumors is due to reappearance of focal masses, indicating that a sub-population of tumor cells in these cancers may be insensitive to current therapies and may be responsible for reinitiating tumor growth. This necessitates the development of newer drugs in the market that demonstrate greater efficacy in treating such aggressive cancers.

A global increase in neurological disorders has placed increased attention on cancers of the brain over the past decade. Neurological disorders are becoming one of the most prevalent types of disorders, due to longer life expectancy, greater exposure to infection and an increasingly sedentary lifestyle. Because few treatments for primary and metastatic cancers of the brain exist, costs are high and have acted as a restraint for the brain tumor therapeutics market.

Despite progress in surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapeutic strategies, effective treatments for brain cancer are limited by a lack of specific therapies for the brain and the difficulty in transporting therapeutic compounds across the blood brain barrier. Therefore, there is a significant need for novel and effective therapeutic drugs and strategies that prolong survival and improve quality of life for brain tumor patients.

Several companies are making significant investments into R&D, which is expected to bring more treatment options to the market in the near future. Industry reports consistently project continued growth in the market.

One report estimates that the global brain tumor therapeutics market will reach a valuation of $2.74 billion in 2023, with the market expected to register a CAGR of 11% during the forecast period from 2018 to 2023. Another report projects that the global brain tumor therapeutics market will reach $3.4 billion by 2025, up from $2.25 billion in 2019 (https://nnw.fm/eDUjp).

The company also provides Debt Service Coverage Ratio (DSCR), bank statement, and conventional mortgage products tailored to investors, including short-term rental operators. Strategic partnerships with Rabbu and Red Awning streamline property analysis, financing, and management within a single ecosystem.

Market Opportunity

The U.S. mortgage market is poised for growth in 2025, with total mortgage origination volume expected to increase by 28% to $2.3 trillion, up from $1.79 trillion in 2024. This projection includes a 13% rise in purchase originations to $1.46 trillion.

Within this expanding market, investor lending, particularly through DSCR loans, represents a rapidly growing segment. DSCR loans, which are underwritten based on the income generated by the property rather than the borrower’s personal income, are ideal for real estate investors, particularly those purchasing long-term or short-term rental properties. Beeline has strategically positioned itself in this niche, with over one-third of its volume derived from DSCR products. Through its affiliate referral network and integrations with platforms like Rabbu, the company is actively expanding its market reach in this high-margin category.

Non-agency mortgage issuance, which includes DSCR loans, is projected to reach $160 billion in 2025, a 16% increase from 2024.

Nutriband Inc. (NASDAQ: NTRB)

The QualityStocks Daily Newsletter would like to spotlight Nutriband Inc. (NASDAQ: NTRB).

Nutriband (NASDAQ: NTRB) announced that CEO Gareth Sheridan will present at Noble Capital Markets' Emerging Growth Virtual Equity Conference on Thursday, June 5 at 4 p.m. ET. The session will feature a fireside-style Q&A open to live audience questions, with 1×1 meetings available for qualified investors. A webcast of the presentation will be accessible post-event on Nutriband's website and Channelchek.com, where it will remain archived for 90 days.

To view the full article, visit https://ibn.fm/2U9UL

Nutriband Inc. (NASDAQ: NTRB) is engaged in the development of a portfolio of transdermal pharmaceutical products. The company’s AVERSA™ technology can be incorporated into any transdermal patch and includes aversive agents to prevent abuse, diversion, misuse and accidental exposure to drugs with abuse potential, specifically opioids.

AVERSA technology has the potential to improve the safety profile of transdermal drugs susceptible to abuse, such as fentanyl, while making sure that these drugs remain accessible to patients who need them. The technology is covered by a broad intellectual property portfolio with patents granted in the United States, Europe, Japan, Korea, Russia, Canada, Mexico, Australia, and China, with recent extensions into Macao.

The company’s business model is to apply its transdermal technology to existing FDA-approved drugs with a goal of improving safety, efficacy and patient comfort while qualifying for a limited-development regulatory pathway that reduces the number of clinical trials required for approval of new drugs.

Nutriband has three subsidiaries, including 4P Therapeutics, its clinical and regulatory subsidiary; Pocono Pharmaceutical, a contract manufacturer for a wide range of clients; and Active Intelligence, a developer of sports recovery products. This ownership of manufacturing and clinical development capabilities drastically reduces costs for AVERSA and other technologies.

In April 2024, Nutriband announced that the company had been engaged by and received a first order from Fit For Life Group, a major brand license holder. A fully executed supplier agreement is expected to follow. Nutriband’s wholly owned Active Intelligence subsidiary will act as manufacturer.

In February 2025, the company formalized its product development partnership with Kindeva Drug Delivery through a long-term exclusive agreement. The collaboration supports the commercial pathway for AVERSA Fentanyl by leveraging Kindeva’s FDA-approved transdermal fentanyl patch system.

The company is headquartered in Orlando, Florida.

Products

Nutriband’s lead product candidate is AVERSA Fentanyl, an abuse-deterrent fentanyl transdermal patch. The company announced in March 2024 that it will submit a New Drug Application to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration seeking approval to market AVERSA Fentanyl. In subsequent updates, Nutriband confirmed that the NDA submission remains the company’s primary focus and is backed by a strong cash position.

Nutriband has partnered with Kindeva Drug Delivery, a leading global contract development and manufacturing organization, to incorporate Nutriband’s AVERSA abuse-deterrent transdermal technology into Kindeva’s FDA-approved transdermal fentanyl patch system. Because Nutriband’s abuse-deterrent technology is incorporated into the fentanyl patch but is physically separate from and does not come in contact with the drug layer, the clinical trials typically needed to demonstrate safety and efficacy for a new drug formulation would not be required.

In support of this commercialization strategy, Nutriband closed an $8.4 million private placement in April 2024 to fund development activities related to AVERSA Fentanyl. The company also licensed Bitrex®, a widely used aversive agent, to enhance the deterrent profile of its patch formulation.

AVERSA Fentanyl has the potential to be the first and only abuse deterrent patch approved anywhere in the world. The company plans to seek an expedited review by the FDA, as has been granted for certain abuse-deterrent oral opioid products, which shortens the regulatory review period to six months from the conventional 10-month FDA review cycle for NDAs.

Nutriband’s AVERSA product development pipeline also includes abuse deterrent versions of currently approved and marketed transdermal patches containing buprenorphine, an opioid used to treat opioid use disorder, and methylphenidate, a central nervous system stimulant used in the treatment of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Both are labeled with FDA-required warnings for the risk of abuse and misuse, as well as warnings against accidental exposure.

Market Opportunity

Nutriband cites a market analysis report from Boston-based Health Advances, a healthcare and life sciences consulting firm. According to the report, upon FDA approval, AVERSA Fentanyl has the potential to reach peak annual sales of $200 million in the U.S.

The company further states that, should non-abuse-deterrent transdermal fentanyl products lose FDA marketing approval, AVERSA Fentanyl would have greater pricing flexibility and would have the potential to generate more than $500 million in annual revenue.

Mullen Automotive Inc. (NASDAQ: MULN)

The QualityStocks Daily Newsletter would like to spotlight Mullen Automotive Inc. (MULN).

Analysis published by Wards Intelligence has revealed that hybrid vehicle sales in the U.S. have continued to rise while battery electric vehicle (BEV) and plug-in hybrid vehicle (PHEV) sales stagnated and stayed flat. BEVs, hybrids, and PHEVs accounted for roughly 22% of the light-duty cars sold in the U.S. in Q1 2025, up from 18% during the same quarter in 2024, indicating a slight increase in demand for alternative energy vehicles in the U.S. Wards Intelligence data show that while the market share for hybrids in the U.S. is increasing, plug-in hybrid and battery electric vehicles haven't made any market share gains. Unlike BEVs and PHEVs, hybrid cars are not equipped with plugs and don't draw energy directly from the grid. They feature both a combustion engine and an electric motor, which is charged by the engine or via regenerative braking. BEVs are still, on average, more expensive than gas-powered cars, with EV purchase prices rising from $55,500 last December to $59,200 this March. In comparison, average prices for new internal combustion engine cars have fallen from $49,700 to $47,500, making ICE cars the obvious choice for drivers with limited budgets. Now that the Trump administration is looking to halt federal EV tax credits, we may see more American drivers opting for more affordable hybrids over premium BEVs and PHEVs. These evolving market conditions present headwinds to EV industry players like Mullen Automotive Inc. (NASDAQ: MULN), and they will have to come up with strategies to navigate this difficult landscape in order to thrive.

Mullen Automotive (NASDAQ: MULN) announced the relaunch of its ultra-high-performance Mullen FIVE RS EV Crossover, with vehicle sales targeted to begin in Germany by December 2025. Following successful 800V battery testing at TUV SUD in Munich, the vehicle is entering on-road validation as part of its final homologation process. Mullen has partnered with Germany-based Faissner Petermeier Fahrzeugtechnik AG (FPF), a veteran automotive engineering and manufacturing firm, to ensure production meets the highest global standards. The FIVE RS boasts a top speed of 200 mph, 0–60 acceleration under two seconds, and over 1,100 horsepower. Mullen plans to expand sales across the EU, UAE, and South Africa in 2026, with a U.S. launch to follow based on international performance.

The road ahead has never been brighter for Mullen, and I am proud to lead us into the future.”

The milestone came in the wake of the company’s stock-for-stock merger with Net Element Inc.

The Mullen FIVE

The Mullen FIVE EV Crossover, debuting at the Los Angeles International Auto Show (LAIAS) on November 17, 2021, embodies Mullen’s Southern California roots with an inspired design focused on two complementary Golden State themes – California landscape and California urban.

LAIAS provides Mullen an opportunity to display multiple variants of the FIVE model while also showcasing its powertrain, battery and charging technology. The company intends to bring the FIVE to market in 2024, and reservations are currently open here.

Mullen’s development portfolio also includes EV Fleet Vans, which it intends to bring to market in Q2 2022, and the pure electric, high performance Mullen DragonFLY.

Expansion of Manufacturing Capacity

On November 2, 2021, Mullen announced plans to expand its facility in Robinsonville, Mississippi.

Mullen’s Advanced Manufacturing and Engineering Facility (AMEC) currently occupies 124,000 square feet of manufacturing space. The total available land on the property is over 100 acres, and Mullen is moving ahead with plans to build out another 1.2 million square feet of manufacturing space to support class 1 and class 2 EV cargo vans and the Mullen FIVE EV Crossover.

On the expanded site, Mullen plans to build a body shop, a fully automated paint shop and a general assembly shop.

EV Market Outlook

The global EV market was reported to consist of 3,269,671 units in 2019, a figure that is expected to grow at a CAGR of 21.1% through 2030 to a total of 26,951,318 units worldwide. This market’s monetary value was estimated at $162.34 billion in 2019 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 22.6%, resulting in an approximate value of $802.81 billion by 2027.

David Michery is the CEO and Founder of Mullen and has been leading the company and its divisions since inception in 2014. With over 25 years of executive management, marketing, distressed assets, and business restructuring experience, Mr. Michery brings a wealth of relevant knowledge and expertise to the Mullen brand.

Mr. Michery manages risks and company expectations as a pathway to success and has personally overseen several businesses that totaled over $1 billion in transactions. His key strength is the ability to be fiscally responsible and lead teams to complete projects on time and within budget. As a seasoned professional in this space, Mr. Michery has demonstrated skill in building businesses from the ground up and into successful entities that subsequently sold for hundreds of millions of dollars.

AI, RaaS are redefining how the hospitality sector delivers what guests expect

Robots are becoming an integral part of hotel operations, performing tasks such as room service deliveries, housekeeping support and facility maintenance

ESGold Corp. (CSE: ESAU) (OTCQB: ESAUF)

The QualityStocks Daily Newsletter would like to spotlight ESGold Corp. (CSE: ESAU) (OTCQB: ESAUF).

ESGold Corp. (CSE: ESAU) (OTCQB: ESAUF) is a fully permitted, pre-production resource company on a clear path to near-term gold and silver production. With established infrastructure in place and a significant gold-silver resource, the company is uniquely positioned to generate near-term cash flow while unlocking the full potential of its Montauban Gold-Silver Project in Quebec—one of the top mining jurisdictions in the world.

ESGold is building a foundation for long-term growth through a dual-track strategy: cash-flow generation from tailings reprocessing to fund district-scale exploration.

The Montauban site, which operated as a mine for over 80 years, is now undergoing its first-ever systematic exploration program to determine just how large the remaining deposit may be. Near-term cash flow from tailings reprocessing will be used to fund exploration, with the goal of increasing the resource base and uncovering new discoveries across the expansive land package.

ESGold is advancing a scalable and replicable clean extraction model that turns legacy mine sites into revenue generating assets while setting a new industry benchmark for sustainable resource recovery.

The recent completion of a C$3.4M financing has enabled ESGold to initiate the final construction phase of its mill circuit—moving the company decisively toward production of gold and silver in Q3 2025.

Montauban Gold-Silver Project: Production Imminent

Located approximately 80 kilometers west of Quebec City, the Montauban Project is a past-producing gold-silver mine with surface and underground mineralization and over 900,000 tonnes of historical tailings. ESGold has invested over C$15 million to date, building out roads, power access, and a 16,000 sq. ft. processing facility. The company recently completed a C$3.4M financing to begin final construction of the mill circuit.

The company is fully permitted to enter into production that is expected to commence in Q3 2025 with a capacity of 500 tonnes per day, scaling to 1,000 tpd. An updated Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) is currently underway to reflect all-time high gold prices and the anticipated upside from the near-surface resource.

Parallels Between Broken Hill & Montauban

Broken Hill, discovered in 1883 in Australia, became the world’s largest source of silver, lead, and zinc—producing over $100 billion worth of metals. What made it unique was that the richest mineral zones were hidden deep underground in a twisted, boomerang-like shape, and it took decades to fully understand just how large the deposit really was.

Geologists now believe ESGold’s Montauban Project in Quebec may share similar traits. Like Broken Hill, it contains high-grade silver, lead, and zinc, along with gold—and sits within the same type of geological system known to host large, high-value mineral deposits. The rock formations, mineral assemblages, and structural complexity all suggest that Montauban could be hiding much more than what’s been historically uncovered. Academic studies now support this possible geological parallel, pointing to further evidence suggesting Montauban was formed under similar conditions as Broken Hill.

Exploration Upside

With production on the horizon, ESGold is advancing a major exploration campaign. Montauban has never undergone systematic modern exploration.

The company is currently completing a large-scale Ambient Noise Tomography (ANT) survey—a powerful 3D imaging technology that will define the size, shape, and continuity of the mineralized system. ANT is already showing strong results, with imaging going beyond the original 400m depth target and now expected to exceed 800m. This cutting-edge technology has the potential to reveal the full extent of the anomaly for the first time in Montauban’s 110-year history.

Scalable, Replicable, Clean Mining

Montauban is also part of a broader vision. Across Canada and globally, there are hundreds of orphaned or legacy mine sites that remain unrehabilitated despite containing valuable residual metals in tailings. Quebec alone is home to more than 259 of these sites, highlighting the scale of the opportunity. ESGold is advancing a scalable and replicable clean extraction model that transforms legacy sites into productive assets while setting a new benchmark for sustainable resource recovery.

The company has also performed testing that utilizes Dundee Sustainable Technologies’ CLEVR Process™, a proprietary non-cyanide extraction method that achieved 90.9% gold recovery in lab testing. This clean processing approach remains a valuable and scalable asset supporting ESGold’s near-term production and exploration growth strategy.

As a complement to its core mining operations, ESGold is developing clean technology solutions through a joint venture with DMCMS Inc. This initiative includes a polymer division that manufactures environmentally friendly products such as road stabilizers, dust suppressants, and other industrial blends—expanding the company’s sustainable commercial footprint.

Market Opportunity

ESGold is operating in a unique and specialized segment of the mining industry—reprocessing and revitalizing legacy mine sites. The Montauban Project offers both near-term cash flow and long-term growth potential by converting tailings into revenue while systematically exploring for additional high-value mineral endowments. The company’s established infrastructure, full permitting, and reclamation approvals reduce development risk and enhance execution timelines.

The broader green mining market is projected to reach $15.92 billion by 2030, according to Grand View Research. This growth is being driven by increased demand for responsible extraction methods, ESG-aligned practices, and critical mineral security. With construction underway at its fully permitted Montauban site—and exploration advancing along a Broken Hill-type geological model—ESGold is well positioned to emerge as Canada’s next premier gold and silver producer.
