Wall Street Targets Breakout Gold Producers as Bull Market Accelerates

NEW YORK, June 4, 2025 /CNW/ -- With gold soaring past $3,000 per ounce in May 2025 — outperforming NASDAQ, the S&P 500, and even bitcoin — Wall Street's attention is shifting. As U.S. debt-to-GDP climbs above 120% and real interest rates remain negative, gold continues to prove itself as the market's most dependable hedge. Yet for institutional investors, traditional holdings such as bullion and ETFs no longer offer enough upside. Today's focus is on leverage, scalability and consistent cash flow, providing an ideal opportunity for a new kind of mining company — a company such as ESGold Corp. (CSE: ESAU) (OTCQB: ESAUF) (Profile), which offers clean balance sheets, high internal rates of return (IRR) and scalable, revenue-generating operations. As central banks accelerate gold purchases and financial markets seek sustainable ways to gain exposure to the metal, ESGold presents an attractive option. ESGold is committed to joining the ranks of mining leaders such as Rio Tinto (NYSE: RIO), Newmont Corporation (NYSE: NEM), Freeport-McMoRan (NYSE: FCX) and First Majestic Silver (NYSE: AG) that are carving out a path for investors seeking real returns. Savvy investors are seeking permitted, low-risk ventures with defined production timelines and streamlined capital structures based on scalable, repeatable business models. With funding and permitting in hand, ESGold is delivering on commitment to build a scalable, profitable mining operation in one of the best jurisdictions in the world. Early revenues from the reprocessing of tailings means the company's valuation isn't tied to speculative drilling results, allowing district-scale exploration. As ESGold continues to advance its operations, the company remains steadfast in its dedication to environmentally responsible mining practices. Click here to view the custom infographic of the ESGold editorial. A Defined Path to Production "The best place to go if your faith in the [U.S.] dollar diminishes is gold as a reserve currency," observes billionaire hedge fund manager John Paulson ( who predicts that central banks' aggressive gold purchasing and rising global trade tensions could propel gold prices close to $5,000 per ounce by 2028. Paulson believes gold's role on the global financial stage is only going to expand. Others share Paulson's outlook. Gold has long been a go-to asset for investors seeking protection against inflation, currency risk and economic volatility. In today's uncertain climate, gold continues to attract interest from both individual and institutional investors. But instead of gravitating toward traditional large-cap mining companies or ETFs, many are now drawn to smaller-scale, capital-efficient operations that offer clear potential for scalability and returns. The challenge, however, is that the mining sector is crowded with early-stage exploration plays and overextended development projects. Many remain in a cycle of endless drilling and speculative hope, with few projects reaching actual production. Investors are increasingly turning away from this outdated "drill and hope" model, instead seeking permitted, low-risk ventures with defined production timelines and streamlined capital structures based on scalable, repeatable business models. That's where ESGold Corporation enters the scene. As a preproduction resource company with a defined plan to see gold and silver production in the near future, ESGold exemplifies the kind of opportunity today's gold-focused investors are pursuing. The company's strategy is built on a scalable model and a realistic path to generating revenue, one that avoids the common pitfalls that have hampered many junior miners. ESGold's approach is centered on revitalizing historic mining sites that already have infrastructure in place. By focusing on these legacy properties, the company significantly lowers upfront capital requirements, avoids lengthy permitting delays, and reduces the geological risks often associated with unexplored terrain. These advantages streamline the path to production and enhance investor confidence. In North America alone, there are more than 500,000 inactive mine sites in the United States with another 10,000-plus in Canada ( representing a vast pool of untapped potential. ESGold is focused on identifying only those projects that are economically sound and strategically located, particularly those with remaining high-value tailings or well-established routes to production. By using a data-driven approach to project selection, ESGold positions itself to grow responsibly, deploying capital only where the risk-reward profile is most attractive. This disciplined strategy gives the company a competitive edge and aligns with what today's investors are demanding: efficiency, near-term value, and repeatable success. Reaching Funding, Permitting Milestones ESGold recently successfully completed a C$3.45 million financing round to help advance its Montauban Project toward active gold and silver production ( This funding milestone marked a significant step forward for the company, providing essential resources to begin construction of the mill circuit and launch the final development stage at the Montauban site. Situated in Quebec, the Montauban Project is a former-producing mine with both surface and underground mineralization, as well as more than 900,000 tons of legacy tailings. Unlike many junior mining firms still navigating permitting processes and project timelines, ESGold's Montauban site already holds full permits for gold and silver production. This dramatically reduces the company's exposure to common development risks and sets it apart in the junior mining space with clear visibility toward near-term revenue generation. With the regulatory hurdles already cleared, ESGold is positioned to advance operations without the typical setbacks from permitting delays or capital dilution. " This financing represents a major inflection point for the company," said ESGold president Brad Kitchen, who noted that the financing supports the company's broader strategy to become one of Canada's next gold and silver mining producers through near-term production and long-term district-scale exploration. "With construction and processing circuit assembly now advancing, we are delivering on our commitment to build a scalable, profitable mining operation in one of the best jurisdictions in the world." Becoming a Model With the majority of its funding secured, ESGold has commenced on-site construction and assembly work at its Montauban Project, marking a significant advancement as the company enters the implementation phase of its fast-tracked production plan ( The company aims to achieve initial cash flow within the next six months. The current construction and mobilization efforts are expected to take approximately one month. This stage represents the final major infrastructure milestone before the site transitions into full-scale production, converting Montauban from a historic mining location into one of Canada's newest operating gold and silver mines. "This is the moment we've been working toward — breaking ground and moving decisively toward gold and silver production," said Kitchen. "Our team, contractors and stakeholders are aligned and energized to deliver on our strategy. We are building a clean, scalable and modern operation that reflects the new era of mining in Quebec. With production targeted for Q4, Montauban is on track to become a model for sustainable redevelopment of legacy mines." Given current market prices for gold and silver, the Montauban project is projected to generate strong profit margins, giving ESGold a rare opportunity to fund its own exploration and expansion initiatives while minimizing dilution and preserving shareholder value. Pursuing Both Production and Potential Once the construction and assembly phase at Montauban is complete, ESGold is set to move directly into the next critical step: the installation and commissioning of the mill circuit. With all necessary permits approved, core infrastructure in place and capital secured, the company is fully committed to its dual-pronged approach, which calls for initiating near-term gold and silver production while simultaneously exploring the broader district for long-term growth opportunities. Production will begin with the reprocessing of historical tailings. ESGold views Montauban as a rare chance to convert previously mined tailings into valuable output using updated milling technology, all while advancing environmental restoration efforts ( The Anacon Lead 1 tailings site will serve as the initial focus, where material will be both processed and remediated in alignment with ESGold's commitment to responsible, sustainable mining. Beyond this, the company is also reviewing four additional tailings sites as potential feed sources, further supporting efficient resource use. But ESGold's ambitions don't stop there. The company is confident that the hard-rock mineralization underlying the Montauban property, which had been partially mined in the past, holds significant untapped value. By applying modern exploration methods, ESGold aims to establish a lasting resource base that will continue supplying the mill once tailings are exhausted. Initial plans call for processing 150,000 tonnes of ore annually, with scalability up to 300,000 tonnes as operations mature. In support of these goals, ESGold recently completed a thorough review of its 2015 VTEM survey data and historic drilling records. The analysis confirms a large-scale geophysical anomaly in the southwestern section of the Montauban property, an area that has yet to undergo any drill testing ( This zone has now been identified as a top-priority target for exploration moving forward. To better understand this opportunity, ESGold is finalizing the first 3D geological model in the project's 110-year history. This comprehensive model incorporates a wide range of data sources, including the 2015 VTEM and TMI datasets; more than 950 historical drill holes; some 18,000-plus gold, silver and zinc assay results; structural analysis; and insights from an advanced Ambient Noise Tomography (ANT) survey. The ANT technology, which images to depths of up to 800 meters, will help determine the scale and continuity of the southwestern anomaly and may reveal additional mineralized zones elsewhere on the property. "The southwest anomaly represents a technically interesting and previously untested zone at Montauban," said Kitchen. "While our primary focus remains on advancing toward near-term production, the evolving geophysical model and recent land expansion are beginning to reveal a much broader opportunity. With a growing dataset, disciplined exploration approach and a pathway to self-funded discovery, ESGold is well positioned to pursue both production and the longer-term potential of the Montauban system." Because ESGold's early revenues will come from the reprocessing of tailings, its valuation isn't solely tied to speculative drilling results. Instead, exploration offers additional upside—allowing the company to grow its asset base without needing to repeatedly dilute shareholders at every phase of discovery. In today's junior mining landscape, that's a rare and highly strategic advantage. Setting a New Sustainability Standard As ESGold continues to advance its operations, the company remains steadfast in its dedication to environmentally responsible mining practices. Recently, ESGold shared results from testing that evaluated the effectiveness of Dundee Sustainable Technologies CLEVR Process(TM) on tailings material from its Montauban Project ( An ecofriendly, cyanide-free method for gold recovery, this innovative process is designed to both improve metal recovery rates and significantly reduce environmental impact, a strategy that aligns with Quebec's commitment to supporting sustainable mining technologies. Adoption of such methods may also make ESGold eligible for government funding geared toward green extraction and site remediation. The initial test results showed promising outcomes, with gold recovery rates exceeding 90.9% after an oxidation pretreatment. According to the company, these findings offer encouraging early insights into the CLEVR Process's potential application at Montauban. ESGold plans to conduct additional studies to assess the economic viability of implementing the technology on a larger scale. "We don't just talk about sustainability; we aggressively pursue it," Kitchen noted. "ESGold is advancing a cleaner future for mining by collaborating with industry leaders and academic institutions to transform extraction technologies. Our initiatives aim to balance environmental stewardship with economic returns, setting a new standard for mining innovation." Redefining Mining Success ESGold is part of a growing group of elite mining companies demonstrating that environmental responsibility and strong investor returns can go hand in hand. These pioneers are blending sustainable practices with sound financial management, cutting-edge technology and strategic business approaches to redefine what success looks like in the mining industry. Newmont Corporation (NYSE: NEM), the world's leading gold company and a producer of copper, silver, zinc and lead, has published its 2024 Sustainability Report, emphasizing the company's environmental, social and governance (ESG) performance ( "In 2024, we continued to strengthen our position as the world's leading gold company while embedding sustainability across all aspects of our business," said Newmont CEO Tom Palmer. "In generating $16 billion in economic contributions for the people and communities in which we operate, we are living our purpose to create value and improve lives through sustainable and responsible mining." Freeport-McMoRan (NYSE: FCX) is a leading international metals company with the objective of being foremost in copper. Headquartered in Phoenix, Arizona, FCX operates large, long-lived, geographically diverse assets with significant proven and probable reserves of copper, gold and molybdenum ( One of the world's largest publicly traded copper producers, FCX's portfolio of assets includes the Grasberg minerals district in Indonesia, one of the world's largest copper and gold deposits, as well as significant operations in North America and South America, including the large-scale Morenci minerals district in Arizona and the Cerro Verde operation in Peru. First Majestic Silver (NYSE: AG), a publicly traded mining company focused on silver and gold production in Mexico and the United States, has reported a second significant discovery of vein-hosted gold and silver mineralization within a year at the Santa Elena property in Sonora, Mexico ( The near-surface, newly identified Santo Niño vein, located approximately one kilometer south of the company's Santa Elena mine, marks a significant addition to the district. The Santa Elena property now hosts four significant gold-silver deposits: Santa Elena, Ermitaño, Navidad and Santo Niño, underscoring the growing scale and potential of the district. Rio Tinto (NYSE: RIO), a company committed to producing iron ore, copper, aluminum and a range of other essential minerals and materials, was recently confirmed as the preferred partner for the Salares Altoandinos lithium project in the Atacama region of Chile ( The confirmation came from Empresa Nacional de Minería (ENAMI), a state-owned Chilean mining company. Under the terms of the proposal, Rio Tinto would acquire an initial 51% stake in the project with ENAMI holding the remaining 49%. The transaction remains subject to the signature of binding agreements, receipt of all regulatory approvals and the satisfaction of other customary closing conditions. With worldwide demand for essential resources — particularly gold — steadily increasing, the urgency for ethical and efficient mining practices is at an all-time high. Companies that manage to align environmental responsibility with solid investor returns aren't only addressing current needs, they are actively defining the future direction of the mining sector.

Avant Technologies and Partner, Ainnova, Finalizing Automated Retinal Camera Prototype Ahead of Full-Scale Development

LAS VEGAS, June 4, 2025 /CNW/ -- Avant Technologies, Inc. (OTCQB: AVAI) ("Avant" or the "Company"), and its JV partner, Ainnova Tech, Inc., (Ainnova), a leading healthcare technology company focused on revolutionizing early disease detection using artificial intelligence (AI), today announced the Company is in the final stages of prototyping its proprietary automated retinal camera. Ainnova's new device will offer users a low cost, easier to use camera that captures images automatically and then uploads those images to the Company's Vision AI software platform, which then produces a "risk report" in mere seconds. Vinicio Vargas, Chief Executive Officer at Ainnova and member of the Board of Directors of the joint venture company, Ai-nova Acquisition Corp., said, "The cost of a fundus camera has always been a barrier to entry into in this market, so our low-cost camera, which is a fraction of the cost of currently available cameras on the market, should allow us to not only enter the market, but to capture a large share of the market. "Another significant advantage will be that our camera will be seamlessly packaged together with our Vision AI platform, allowing us to refer more patients in less time and accurately to medical specialists. Also, one of our objectives is to integrate other technologies to this preventive screening, expanding the scope from only diabetic patients to patients who have other risk factors and want to prevent other diseases from a more complete approach." Vision AI is a powerful cutting-edge, AI-driven platform that can quickly and accurately detect the early markers of a host of diseases by applying AI models to examine imaging data from the eye to expedite earlier detection and allow patients to better manage their disease. The diseases that Vision AI can detect, include diabetic retinopathy, other retinopathies, such as glaucoma, macular edema, age-related macular degeneration, and other anomalies, as well as other diseases that do not require retinal images, and instead, use other datapoints that Ainnova has integrated into the software like the detection of cardiovascular disease (CVD), type 2 diabetes, liver fibrosis, and chronic kidney disease (CKD). Currently, Ainnova's Vision AI software works well with any fundus camera on the market; however, Ainnova and Avant are aiming for exclusivity by developing a lower-cost, easier to use camera. Ai-nova Acquisition Corp. (AAC), the company formed by the partnership between Avant and Ainnova, will develop the retinal cameras as part of the joint venture and licensing deal to facilitate the development of Ainnova's technology portfolio. AAC owns the global licensing rights to develop, maintain, and market Ainnova's technology portfolio. About Ainnova Tech, Inc.
