Canada’s Next Premier Gold & Silver Producer

• Fully Permitted and Funded for Near-Term Production: Construction underway soon at Montauban with gold-silver production expected in Q3 2025.
• Tailings-to-Cashflow Strategy: Near-term cash flow from processing historic tailings will fund exploration across the district-scale land package.
• Replicable Clean Mining Model: Scalable approach to legacy mine redevelopment in Canada and globally.
• Broken Hill Analogue: Geological and structural parallels suggest Montauban may host a larger, mineralized system at depth.
• Modern 3D Imaging Tech: Cutting-edge ANT survey is producing subsurface imaging beyond 800m, uncovering the potential size of the deposit.

ESGold (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.

• A shaft tailored to a golfer’s unique swing can enhance performance by optimizing swing speed, ball trajectory and overall control.
• Newton Golf Company offers high-quality, custom-fitted shafts that are redefining how golfers approach their game.
• NWTG is not only enhancing golf equipment but also empowering players of all levels to unlock their true potential on the course.

Golf is a sport that demands precision, consistency and control, where even the smallest adjustments in equipment can significantly impact performance. One of the most critical yet often overlooked components of a golf club is the shaft, frequently referred to as the “engine” of the club. Newton Golf Company (NASDAQ: NWTG), a technology-forward golf-equipment manufacturer, understands the importance of this key piece of equipment and is dedicated to becoming a leader in the shaft space.

While many golfers place considerable emphasis on selecting the right clubhead or grip, the importance of using a properly fitted shaft cannot be overstated. A shaft tailored to a golfer’s unique swing can enhance performance by optimizing swing speed, ball trajectory and overall control.

A study published in the Journal of Sports Engineering and Technology indicates that custom club fitting can enhance golf swing characteristics, though the improvements may vary based on the golfer’s skill level (https://ibn.fm/GCLwY).

These findings suggest that custom-fitted golf shafts can lead to better performance and greater enjoyment on the course.

Fitted shafts are customized to align with a golfer’s specific swing characteristics, including tempo, angle of attack and desired launch conditions. In contrast, standard off-the-shelf shafts may not suit every player, leading to inconsistent results and missed opportunities on the course. A properly fitted shaft minimizes the likelihood of mishits and inconsistency by adapting to a player’s individual swing dynamics. For example, golfers with faster swing speeds may require a stiffer shaft to prevent excessive flex, while those with slower swings often benefit from a more flexible shaft that maximizes launch and distance. Shaft flex, weight and torque all play critical roles in influencing ball flight, and custom fitting ensures these factors are precisely calibrated to meet a player’s needs.

Additionally, fitted shafts enhance shot dispersion, providing greater control and consistency. Golfers using standard shafts often encounter erratic ball flights due to mismatched shaft characteristics. Custom-fitted shafts address these inconsistencies by aligning the club’s performance with the golfer’s natural tendencies, resulting in more predictable ball behavior and improved course management.

• D-Wave’s research shows that quantum-based blockchain operations could use up to 1,000 times less electricity than classical computing methods.
• In an industry first, D-Wave successfully deployed blockchain operations across four of its cloud-based quantum computers in North America.
• The company’s proof of quantum work algorithm leverages quantum-generated hashes, providing an added security layer.
• The novel quantum blockchain architecture follows the company’s recent quantum supremacy demonstration, serving as another example of how D-Wave helps customers realize the value of quantum computing now.

D-Wave Quantum Inc. (NYSE: QBTS) (“D-Wave”), a leader in quantum computing systems, software, and services, has published a research paper introducing a new quantum blockchain architecture that could improve security and significantly reduce the electricity required for blockchain operations (https://ibn.fm/Tndwv). The paper, “Blockchain with Proof of Quantum Work,” details how quantum computing can be used to generate and validate blockchain transactions more efficiently than classical computers (https://ibn.fm/6nVTE).

The company has also conducted the first-ever demonstration of distributed quantum computing for blockchain. This involved deploying the new blockchain architecture across four of its cloud-based quantum computers located in Canada and the United States. According to D-Wave, the results show that quantum computing can support stable blockchain operations across different generations of hardware. “This is the first time a blockchain has successfully operated on a distributed network of four quantum computers across two countries,” said Dr. Mohammad Amin, chief scientist at D-Wave.

Traditional blockchains rely on hashing functions and proof of work (“PoW”) algorithms to validate transactions. These operations are computationally demanding and consume significant amounts of electricity. For example, Bitcoin mining alone is estimated to use as much electricity annually as Poland consumes.

D-Wave’s paper highlights how the company built and tested a “proof of quantum work” algorithm that uses quantum computation to generate and validate blockchain hashes. The research shows that replacing classical computation with quantum-based hashing and proof of work could lead to significant energy savings. The paper states that, in this context, the proof of quantum work algorithm could reduce electricity consumption by up to a factor of 1,000.

Furthermore, this algorithm could enhance security by generating blockchain hashes using quantum computation, instead of classical computers. By integrating quantum-generated hashes, the system can eliminate some of the vulnerabilities associated with traditional proof-of-work models.

D-Wave’s approach relies on programmable spin glasses, which were used in its recent quantum supremacy demonstration. These quantum-generated hashes provide a more complex security framework than classical methods, potentially making blockchain networks more resistant to attacks.

“Despite spanning two generations of D-Wave annealing quantum computers with different architectures and fabrication stacks, the systems’ outputs were able to cross-validate each other and facilitate stable blockchain operation for thousands of transaction blocks. We believe that this approach could significantly reduce energy consumption and enhance security,” Dr. Amin added.

Blockchain technology has applications beyond cryptocurrency, including supply chain management, healthcare, identity verification, and decentralized finance. The introduction of quantum-powered blockchain could address some of the scalability and energy consumption challenges currently faced by blockchain networks.

D-Wave is inviting businesses and researchers to explore potential use cases for this technology. The D-Wave(TM) annealing quantum computers used in the company’s recent quantum supremacy demonstration and this new blockchain research are available for customers to use today via D-Wave’s Leap(TM) real-time quantum cloud service.

“Coming off the heels of our recent quantum supremacy demonstration, this serves as yet another example of how D-Wave is helping customers realize the value of quantum computing now,” said Dr. Alan Baratz, CEO of D-Wave. “We invite the blockchain community to work with us to utilize this exciting new use case for quantum computing.”

Healthcare providers often struggle to navigate complex insurance contracts to determine whether they are receiving proper reimbursement for services. A lack of transparency in how the process unfolds can result in lost revenue and financial instability, particularly for smaller clinics and new practices.

Adageis, a forward-thinking healthcare technology company, is reshaping patient care through flexible AI-centric software solutions for healthcare organizations. The company offers a software solution designed to help providers understand what they should be paid under each insurance contract, with insights into revenue expectations.

Adageis’ AI-driven platform allows clinics to quickly and easily:

• Compare expected vs. actual payments from insurance companies
• Identify underpayments and reimbursement gaps
• Analyze financial performance under different contracts

By providing real-time visibility into these details, healthcare organizations can make more informed decisions about contract negotiations and patient care models.

As healthcare moves away from fee-for-service models toward value-based care, many providers struggle to adjust. Adageis offers tools to help new practices transition smoothly to value-based care structures, highlighting the most profitable insurance contracts while maintaining high-quality care, and ensuring that providers are fairly compensated for delivering effective patient outcomes.

Beyond financial insights, Adageis positions itself as an advocate for healthcare providers. The company’s technology enables organizations to negotiate better contracts with insurers, providing clarity on expected revenue before signing agreements, and making sure they are paid what they are owed for patient care. By empowering providers with solid data, Adageis aims to level the playing field between healthcare organizations and insurers.

The healthcare technology sector is experiencing growing investor interest, particularly in solutions that address billing inefficiencies and revenue optimization. Adageis offers practical AI applications in healthcare finance, designed to provide increased transparency, simplicity, and real financial gains. The company stands out as a promising investment opportunity in a rapidly evolving landscape.
