NetworkNewsWire Editorial Coverage : For years, the mining industry has revolved around high-risk, capital-intensive exploration, where the odds of success are slim—often it’s a one-in-a-thousand discovery that leads to a viable operation, with the majority of junior miners never making it to production. In addition, investors are frequently diluted, and project timelines can extend over decades. At scale, most mining ventures are unattractive to investors due to their cyclical nature, massive capital requirements, and significant permitting and execution challenges. ESGold Corp. (CSE: ESAU) (OTCQB: ESAUF) ( Profile ) is taking a different approach. Rather than pursuing speculative exploration, ESGold focuses on reviving past-producing or legacy-mining sites — locations with established resource volumes, historical grades and existing infrastructure. These sites weren’t abandoned due to resource depletion or economic infeasibility, but rather because prior operators lacked the necessary resources to fully realize their potential. With gold prices at historic highs and demand for minerals across the board surging, this is an opportune moment for experienced, well-capitalized companies to secure their place in a revitalized market that’s drawing renewed attention from Wall Street. ESGold is focused on becoming a key player in a high-quality group of mineral miners, including Teck Resources Ltd. (NYSE: TECK) (TSX: TECK), Alamos Gold Inc. (NYSE: AGI) (TSX: AGI) , Pan American Silver Corp. (NYSE: PAAS) (TSX: PAAS) and…

Lung cancer, one of the most common types of cancer, has for a long time been known to largely develop among smokers.

NetworkNewsWire Editorial Coverage : For decades, mining has been defined by high-risk, high-capex exploration, where success hinges on one-in-a-thousand discoveries. Most juniors never reach production. Investors face dilution. Timelines stretch into decades. Most mining companies are uninvestable at scale because they are capital destroyers, cyclical and heavy capex, with high permitting and execution risk. ESGold Corp. (CSE: ESAU) (OTCQB: ESAUF) ( Profile ) is challenging that model. Instead of chasing theory, ESGold is redeveloping past-producing or legacy mine sites — sites with known volumes, historical grades and existing infrastructure. These are assets left behind not because they were depleted or economically unviable but because previous owners and operators lacked the resources and technology to develop them. With gold at an all-time high and demand for all types of minerals booming, now is the time for companies with experience, insight and capital to position themselves in a market where potential has never been more promising and Wall Street has never been more interested. ESGold joins an elite group of mineral miners, including BHP Group Ltd. (NYSE: BHP), Barrick Mining Corporation (NYSE: B) , Franco-Nevada Corp. (NYSE: FNV) and Kinross Gold Corp. (NYSE: KGC) that are leveraging their expertise to…
