[{"type":"text","content":" Strategic staking has taken place by the Company to secure key ground adjacent to modeled mineralization and Company prepares expanded ANT survey and step-out drilling program VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA / ACCESS Newswire / February 5, 2026 / ESGold Corp. (CSE:ESAU) (OTCQB:ESAUF) (FSE:Z7D) (\"ESGold\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce that it has staked an additional 144 mining claims totaling approximately 7,668 hectares in and around its Montauban project, significantly increasing the size of its Montauban land position in Québec. With these newly staked claims, ESGold now controls 417 mining claims covering approximately 20,618 hectares or 206 square kilometres around its Montauban project, representing the largest contiguous mineral tenure held by a single company in the Montauban region. Most of the newly acquired claims are open ground and are strategically located adjacent to the Company's core Montauban property. Figure 1: Map showing ESGold's expanded Montauban land position, highlighting both newly staked regional claim blocks and newly staked claims adjacent to the Company's core Montauban property. The decision to continuing staking and expand the land position follows the completion of ESGold's recently announced ambient noise tomography (ANT) based 3D geological model(the \"Model\") (see the Company's press release dated February 3, 2026 here), which identified a deep, laterally extensive anomaly that suggests the potential for a mineralized corridor extending to approximately 900 metres depth and over two kilometres of strike, remaining open beyond the limits of the existing survey area at the Company's Montauban property. The Model has materially expanded the interpreted footprint of the mineral system and has highlighted areas that had not been evaluated by historical operators at Montauban. Figure 2: ANT-based 3D geological model showing mineralized corridors extending beyond the available area prior to land expansion. Based on the interpretation of this new geological understanding from the Model, ESGold was able to quickly secure additional ground along the interpreted structural and lithological trends to ensure control over potential extensions of the system.
