When the Dollar Blinks, Real Assets Take Center Stage

NetworkNewsWire Editorial Coverage

NEW YORK, Oct. 6, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The story today is not simply that gold prices are rising. It is that the U.S. dollar is weakening, real rates are softening, and global buyers are rushing toward scarce, nonsovereign stores of value. Spot gold keeps hitting new records, recently trading near $3,700 to $3,730 per ounce, as markets anticipate additional Federal Reserve cuts and a softer dollar. Silver is also climbing, reaching its highest level in more than 14 years. Central banks continue to be consistent buyers, with record levels of gold added since 2022, underscoring a broader trend of de-dollarization. In this environment, the setup for mining equities is increasingly compelling. With gold consistently reaching all-time highs, the valuation gap between bullion and quality mining companies is primed to close, creating an opportunity for investors seeking leverage to this cycle. One company positioned to take advantage of this dynamic is ESGold Corp. (CSE: ESAU) (OTCQB: ESAUF) (Profile), which has a fully funded business plan, is backed by permits and offers near-term profit potential. With a clear pathway to production in 2026, ESGold provides investors with leverage and scalability that few junior miners offer. The company is a top contender in a strong group of notable mining entities, including Franco-Nevada Corp. (NYSE: FNV), Alamos Gold Inc. (NYSE: AGI), Eldorado Gold Corporation (NYSE: EGO) and OR Royalties Inc. (NYSE: OR), that are jostling for position in a precious metals market that is capturing the investment spotlight.

• ESGold's strategy centers on a tailings-first approach, with Montauban in Quebec as the primary near-term development.
• With recent financings in place, ESGold has signaled that it is fully funded to complete Montauban construction and advance validation in Colombia. 
• The economics of tailings reprocessing are attractive because feedstock is already near surface, and requires lower costs and energy consumption.
• ESGold's upside is not confined to near-term production; the company has invested in exploration and geophysics.
• ESGold has also been progressing a multijurisdictional growth plan, including a binding MOU in Colombia to validate a replicable clean-mining blueprint across legacy districts.
