[{"type":"text","content":" Historical report outlines a 3.4 km by 400-800 m corridor, high-grade channel samples up to ~170 g/t Au, and broad drill intercepts that remain untested by modern exploration technologies. VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESS Newswire / September 30, 2025 / ESGold Corp. (\"ESGold\" or the \"Company\") (CSE:ESAU) (OTCQB:ESAUF) (FSE:Z7D) is pleased to outline the prospective potential of a concession in Colombia's Bolívar region, informed by historical NI 43-101 data and prior operator disclosures. The Bolívar district represents one of South America's most prolific artisanal gold-producing regions, with historical work pointing to the scale, grade, and structural complexity consistent with a major mineralized system. Historical Highlights (La Pantera, Bolívar - NI 43-101, July 25, 2018*) Large mineralized footprint: Zone No. 6, the most important structural corridor identified, measures approximately 3.4 km in strike length and 400-800 m in width. Multiple additional zones of mineralization occur across the 1,734-hectare concession. Widespread artisanal production: Hundreds of small-scale workings exploit saprolite and hard rock, with historical recoveries limited by rudimentary gravity methods - tailings still carry recoverable gold. High-grade samples: Underground channel sampling at Mina Bulla returned assays up to ~170 g/t Au, while saprolite \"head\" grades averaged ~1 g/t Au in places. Historical drilling: 19 holes (~4,180 m) at Los Matos reported broad, lower-grade intercepts (0.4-0.6 g/t Au over tens of metres), suggesting vein clusters and stockwork-style mineralization at depth. Untested depth potential: No systematic geophysics or modern drilling has tested below ~200 m, leaving deeper intrusive-related mineralization untested. Regional and Historical Context The Bolívar region, specifically the Serranía de San Lucas belt, has long been recognized for its gold endowment. Prior operator Origin Gold outlined in 2018 that the concession contained multiple mineralized zones, highlighting Zone No. 6 as the priority target. Despite pervasive artisanal mining and encouraging high-grade samples, the property remained underexplored, with no systematic geophysics, trenching, or follow-up drilling to test the system's scale.
