[{"type":"text","content":"VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA – TheNewswire - August 24, 2022 – ESGold Corp. (“ESGold” or the “Company”) (CSE:ESAU), (CNSX:EAU.CN), (Frankfurt:N4UP), (OTC:SEKZF) is pleased to report that the assay results from the Company’s initial sampling program on its Ottawa River Project has confirmed the presence of gold in every processed sample at MSALabs in Val D’Or. The sampling program was carried out over an eight (8) day period commencing on July 18, 2022 and completed at noon on Monday July 25, 2022. In total, sixty-one (61) 2kg samples were extracted by the Soderholm Maritimes Services Inc. divers along the six (6) grid lines that ESGold’s independent consultant GoldMinds Geoservices Inc. (“GoldMinds”) established to accurately locate the source of the samples. A total of 32 of the 61 samples were assayed and returned gold results ranging from trace amounts to 1.872 grams per tonne. A total of 29 samples could not be processed due to the overwhelming presence of saturated wood. It is important to mention that slag material was observed in different samples. Once recovered, the 2 to 4 kg samples filled with sediment material in 15-liters bags were laid out in a pan, some water removed, a description of the sample was quickly catalogued, the sample was then split in two parts, one part to remain with the Company for potential future analysis and the other half sealed, tagged and put is a plastic pail by independent technical team. At the end of the campaign, the pails were put on a pallet, sealed and shipped by Manitoulin Transport Inc. directly to MSALabs’ laboratory in Val D’Or, Quebec. At the Laboratory, the samples were logged in, dried, crushed in 1 kg sample size and then split into 500 g testing amounts. These testing amounts were then exposed to Gamma Ray analysis for gold using a photon assay instrument. The complete sampling program was under the supervision of GoldMinds with Claude Duplessis, P. Eng (Licensed PGO #100222741) & Maude Marquis Eng.(OIQ # 5089140) serving as the Independent Qualified Persons with regards to NI-43-101 regulations. ESGold has already started the next steps in the development of the Ottawa River Project by sending composite samples augured from the four (4) tonne bulk residuals extracted by the airlift method from the riverbed.
