Next Gold Powerhouse Emerges as Prices Break Records

NetworkNewsWire Editorial Coverage

NEW YORK, June 4, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- As gold surges to record highs above $3,000+ per ounce in May 2025 — outpacing the S&P 500, NASDAQ and even bitcoin—Wall Street's focus is shifting. With U.S. debt-to-GDP now exceeding 120% and real interest rates still historically negative, gold has reaffirmed its role as the market's most reliable hedge. But for institutional investors, bullion and ETFs aren't enough anymore. What they want now is leverage, scalability and cash flow. That's why the spotlight is turning toward a new class of near-term gold producers: companies with clean balance sheets, high internal rates of return (IRR) and operational models designed to scale and generate recurring revenue — companies like ESGold Corp. (CSE: ESAU) (OTCQB: ESAUF) (Profile). With central banks buying more gold than ever and financial markets hungry for sustainable exposure to the yellow metal, the next wave of institutional capital is hunting for precisely the kind of scalable, cash-flow-driven opportunity that ESGold offers. With its focus on offering investors a viable pathway to include gold in their portfolios, ESGold joins an elite group of companies — including BHP Group Limited (NYSE: BHP), Barrick Mining Corporation (NYSE: B) (TSX: ABX), Agnico Eagle Mines (NYSE: AEM) and Wheaton Precious Metals (NYSE: WPM) — that are committed to being leaders in the mining space.

• ESGold is based on a replicable growth model, built for scale and designed to overcome the high failure rate among junior miners. 
• With funding in place, the company has begun on-site construction and assembly at Montauban.
• ESGold remains laser focused on achieving its dual-track strategy: near-term gold and silver production paired with district-scale exploration.
• Amid this forward momentum, ESGold remains constantly committed to clean-processing initiatives.

A Clear Path to Near-Term Production

"The best place to go if your faith in the [U.S.] dollar diminishes is gold as a reserve currency," stated billionaire hedge fund manager John Paulson (https://ibn.fm/Rl86S). Forecasting that central bank gold buying and global trade tensions are likely to push bullion prices to near $5,000 an ounce by 2028, Paulson is confident that "gold will increase its position in the world."
