Saint-André remains optimistic that his squad can overturn the daunting odds at Thomond Park in January. "If we can win our next two games we can still qualify," said the head coach, aware that Montauban and Clermont have come close to winning in Limerick this season
His compatriot Sébastian Chabal also refused to accept the game is already up
"It will be very difficult but our destiny is in our own hands
We just have to go to Munster and win and then beat Clermont at home with a bonus point
If we do that we'll be in business.."
The inescapable truth, however, is that Sale have all but squandered their stunning opening away win at Clermont
The Sharks should still have registered more than four Charlie Hodgson penalties
Their lineout failed to function initially and their attacking game only rarely flickered into life
with a potential match-winner like Mathew Tait barely touching the ball
still feeling his way back after hamstring trouble
the position to which Saint-André believes he is best suited
is in danger of falling between two stools
"I need to speak to England but from what I see at the moment I think centre is his best position," said Saint-André
"Changing club is difficult and he has struggled with injury ..
he needs to get some confidence back."
another England squad member who was unable to make a game-breaking impact
spent the entire match on the bench and the supposed muppets of Montauban
clad in a shade of green reminiscent of Kermit the Frog
were rarely stretched as they defended their first-half lead of 10–6
The game's solitary try was scored by the Fijian winger Vilimoni Delasau
who kicked ahead and outpaced the cover after a pass from Hodgson had been dropped
Kristian Ormsby and Lee Thomas will help and the Sharks remain in the hunt domestically
rarely fail to finish off distracted opponents
has strengthened its leadership team by appointing Peter Espig
a seasoned mining executive and former global investment banker
The strategic appointment comes as the company prepares its Montauban Gold-Silver Project for anticipated production in 2025
Espig brings extensive experience in capital markets and mining operations
including a notable turnaround success as CEO of Nicola Mining
His addition to the board underscores ESGold’s commitment to advancing its Quebec-based project with strategic expertise
represents a significant opportunity for ESGold
The company is currently focusing on multiple critical aspects of project development
ESGold’s approach emphasizes sustainable resource recovery and responsible mining practices
The Montauban property is positioned as a model for integrating near-term production capabilities with long-term district-scale discovery potential
The appointment of Espig signals the company’s strategic intent to leverage experienced leadership in preparing the Montauban project for successful implementation
His expertise is expected to provide valuable insights into optimizing the project’s development and maximizing its economic potential

2025) - ESGold Corp. (CSE: ESAU) (OTCQB: ESAUF) (FSE: Z7D) ("ESGold" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the completion of an internal review of its 2015 VTEM survey data and historic drill database
which confirms the presence of a large-scale geophysical anomaly in the southwestern portion of the Montauban Project
is considered by ESGold's technical team to be a high-priority target for future exploration

now fully enclosed within ESGold's claim package

The southwest target is defined by a broad
laterally continuous conductivity high (bfz30 EM) coinciding with a strong magnetic anomaly (TMI) — a dual geophysical signature commonly associated with buried sulfide-rich VMS environments
Independent internal interpretation suggests that this zone may be deeper
and potentially larger than the historically mined lens to the northeast
it's important to note that since the original VTEM survey was flown in 2015
ESGold has strategically expanded its land position and now holds 255 mining claims totaling approximately 13,116 hectares — the largest claim package in the Montauban region
This expansion was specifically designed to encompass high-priority anomalies identified in the survey
Given that VMS systems are known to occur in clusters
ESGold's expanded land package now positions the Company to fully capture the district-scale discovery potential that the geophysical data suggests
The original VTEM survey was flown From December 6
and was included in an NI 43-101 Report commissioned and filed by the Company in February 2022 (JPL Geoservices)

Montauban has been viewed as a single-deposit system
based on the interpretation of geophysical data from the 2015 VTEM survey
ESGold believes the project may be situated within a broader
potentially stacked or clustered VMS environment
While this concept is supported by the scale and distribution of conductivity and magnetic anomalies identified in the survey
further exploration and drilling will be required to validate the presence of additional mineralized systems
ESGold is currently finalizing a comprehensive 3D geological model — the first in the project's 110-year history
The ongoing ANT survey — which has been tested to 800 meters in imaging depth — will play a critical role in determining the true scale and continuity of the southwestern anomaly
ESGold plans to expand the ANT program to cover a broader section of the property
targeting additional zones of interest revealed by the new model
The Company continues advancing toward near-term production through tailings reprocessing at Montauban
this new anomaly marks a potential inflection point — one that could redefine the company as a district-scale discovery story
"The southwest anomaly represents a technically interesting and previously untested zone at Montauban," said Brad 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
ESGold is well positioned to pursue both production and the longer-term potential of the Montauban system"

The quality of the acquired data has exceeded expectations
Initially designed to map to 400 metres depth
current readings are expected to extend below 800 metres
The resulting interpretation will be integrated into Montauban's first fully integrated 3D geological model
"This is a critical step forward in ESGold's mission to fully define the mineralized potential at Montauban," said Brad Kitchen
"We are entering a new phase of discovery powered by cutting-edge imaging tools that will allow us to explore below the limits of historic drilling and uncover the full scope of the Montauban system
Our team is excited and looks forward to sharing results with the market before the end of the month."
Ambient Noise Tomography (ANT) is a non-intrusive seismic imaging technique that uses natural and man-made ground vibrations to develop 3D models of the subsurface

The tested sample[1] was collected from an on-site stockpile of tailings material grading 1.21g/t Au and 137g/t Ag (Duplessis et al.
The metallurgical results indicate high gold recovery potential using the CLEVR Process™
following an oxidation pre-treatment process
The results provide preliminary insights into the applicability of this technology at the Montauban Project
though further studies are required to confirm economic feasibility
High Gold Recovery: CLEVR leaching achieved over 90.9% gold recovery
with final residue gold levels below the limits of detection
High-Grade Silver Values: The tested sample returned silver assay values of 760 g/t Ag
indicating strong silver recovery potential[2]
Increased Gold Grade After Oxidation: The initial assayed gold grade of the tested sample was 3.69 g/t Au and improved to 6.01 g/t Au post-oxidation. This significant increase in grade resulted from mass-loss associated with sulphide removal, which improved gold recovery (Gold and Silver Non-cyanide CLEVR process report)
Successful Sulphide Removal: The oxidative thermal pre-treatment reduced sulphide content from 29.0% to 0.48%
significantly improving processing conditions
Fast Processing Time: Gold leaching was completed in one (1) hour
demonstrating the efficiency of the CLEVR Process™
Potential for Process Optimization: Future work will explore increasing solids concentration
and enhancing silver recovery to further enhance economic efficiencies
Note: Samples were processed at Dundee Sustainable Technologies' metallurgical facility in Canada
including the use of certified reference materials
were followed to ensure the accuracy and reliability of results
As part of ESGold's ongoing commitment to sustainability and responsible mining
the CLEVR Process™ presents a non-cyanide alternative that minimizes environmental impact while maintaining high recovery rates
The process utilizes hypochlorite-based chemistry in a closed-loop system
reducing toxic tailings and supporting Environmental
Social and Governance compliance at Montauban
"This successful test confirms that the CLEVR Process™ is an effective
environmentally sustainable alternative for processing Montauban's gold-bearing material," said Brad Kitchen
"These results align with our strategy to develop a clean
efficient processing operation while maximizing resource recovery
Our next steps will focus on optimization to further refine recoveries and incorporate silver extraction improvements."
ESGold and DST are now working towards process optimization and refining engineering parameters to support the integration of the CLEVR Process™ at the Montauban Project
-45% to improve throughput efficiency.Reducing reaction time to 30 minutes for enhanced operational performance.Developing an optimized flow sheet with METSIM modeling for full-scale production integration.Exploring silver recovery enhancements through adapted CLEVR parameters and additional process steps.Advancing Toward Production at Montauban
The CLEVR test results provide a key technical validation as ESGold continues to advance the Montauban Project

ESGold (CSE: ESAU; OTCQB: ESAUF) announced the commencement of on-site construction and assembly at its Montauban gold-silver project in Quebec
a key milestone that moves the company into the execution phase of its near-term production strategy
The Montauban project is located 80 km west of Quebec City
Following the successful completion of its C$3.45 million financing in April
ESGold has officially initiated the build-out and expansion of its milling and processing facilities
This represents the final major phase of infrastructure development before production begins—transforming Montauban from a legacy mine site into one of Canada’s next active gold and silver operations
said: “This is the moment we’ve been working toward—breaking ground and moving decisively toward gold and silver production
and stakeholders are aligned and energized to deliver on our strategy
and modern operation that reflects the new era of mining in Quebec
Montauban is on track to become a model for sustainable redevelopment of legacy mines.”
the company has engaged a prime contractor to lead the mobilization and assembly process at Montauban
Key milestones now underway or scheduled over the coming weeks include: Mobilization of cranes and heavy equipment to commence structural build-out
delivery and installation of mill components
ensuring reliable and scalable on-site power capacity
deployment of secure communications and monitoring systems
including STARLINK-enabled site connectivity
The company has also committed to installation of security perimeter fencing and surveillance infrastructure to support 24/7 oversight and operational integrity
extension of the mill building by 1,800 sq
site cleanup and staging to accommodate phased installation of the mill circuit and finally overtime work schedules for field crews to expedite construction and adhere to the Company’s early Q4 production timeline
EsGold has said this initial construction and mobilization stage will last approximately one month
after which the company will immediately advance into the next phase of mill circuit installation and commissioning
ESGold remains focused on achieving its dual-track strategy: near-term gold and silver production paired with district-scale exploration

Dundee Sustainable Technologies (CSE: DST) and ESGold (CSE: ESAU; OTC Pink: SEKZF) have joined forces to test Dundee’s revolutionary CLEVR gold recovery process on tailings from the Montauban tailings
gold and silver miners will enjoy sustainable technology
are 100%-owned by ESGold and fully permitted
The project has reached the preliminary economic assessment (PEA) stage
ESGold is advancing the project towards a startup in the second quarter 2025
The CLEVR process is at the forefront of sustainable mining advancements regularly achieving over 95% gold recovery rates
The process uses no cyanide or toxic effluents; the residues are inert to mitigate environmental risks
Processing times are reduced to 2 hours from 36 hours with improved throughput and efficiency
CLEVR is a closed-loop system that recirculates reagents
significantly reducing environmental impact
the process has the potential to be highly profitable
"Our collaboration with ESGold allows us to showcase the CLEVR process as a next-generation solution for environmentally responsible mining,” says Jean-Philippe Mai
president and CEO of Dundee Sustainable Technologies
“By achieving superior recovery rates and significantly reducing processing times and environmental liabilities
our technology aligns perfectly with ESGold's vision.”
The aim is to achieve superior recovery rates and significantly lower processing times and minimize environmental liabilities
showcasing scalable and sustainable solutions that can be applied to orphaned mine sites across Quebec
The project has an indicated resource of 604,70 tonnes grading 0.40 g/t gold and 31.45 g/t silver and an inferred resource of 319,300 tonnes grading 0.41 g/t gold and 36.93 g/t silver

which Marchand extended with a 57.29 breaststroke split
and Guth brought the quartet home in 48.73 for an overall time of 3:30.36
but it allowed him to race for his club team and get more practice racing in short-course meters before the SC World Championships next month

The city of Montauban in southern France is the birthplace of the painter Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres (1780-1867) and the sculptor Emile-Antoine Bourdelle (1861-1929). Its star museum, formerly known as Musée Ingres and home to the world’s second-largest Ingres collection after the Louvre, will reopen on 14 December after a three-year revamp under the names of both French masters.
Ingres’s The Virgin (hands and feet) (1867) is one of 4,500 drawings that will be shown on rotation at the renovated Musée Ingres Bourdelle in France Ville de Montauban/Musée Ingres Bourdelle
Musée Ingres Bourdelle “does not exactly roll off the tongue”, admits its director, Florence Viguier. “But we wanted to highlight that Montauban has been a cultural crossroads for centuries.”
A €13m expansion has overhauled the museum’s displays and improved visitor facilities and access. Part of the third floor, which had been demolished in the 19th century for safety reasons, was rebuilt, adding 700 sq. m of space where Ingres’s drawings will be shown on rotation among items from his personal collection.

“Ingres’s drawings are so detailed they call for slower contemplation,” Viguier says. “We thought it best to display them in wide drawers to protect them from artificial lighting and let visitors enjoy them in their own time.”
She describes the reinstalled museum as a “bouquet”, in which “each floor is a flower and the stems connect at the entrance”. The second level will be dedicated to paintings made or owned by Ingres, as well as works by his students. Temporary exhibitions will be located on the ground floor, along with a new bookshop and café. Two underground levels are devoted to Bourdelle and the museum’s archaeological collections.
Miguel Chevalier's L’œil de la machine (2019)
As the oldest part of the building, which has not yet been renovated, the basement is “where I wanted to invite the 21st century in”, Viguier says. French artist Miguel Chevalier has created an interactive digital installation that distorts images of Ingres’s most emblematic paintings as visitors move around the space.

as the scrum-half has the potential to be a special troublemaker
Gauthier Gibouin (Soyaux-Angoulême – loose forward) and Santi Ovejero (Stade Niçois – hooker)
USAUSA’s numbers in the Pro D2 have dwindled since COVID, with only two making the fray being: Nani Ma’afu (Biarritz Olympique – lock) and Renger van Eerten (CA Brive – lock)
The Pro D2 also has players from nations like Netherlands (dutch captain Koen Bloemen is one of the biggest names in the Stade Aurillacois squad), Chile, Venezuela, Brazil, Germany, Denmark, Belgium, Algeria, Cameroon, Zimbabwe, Namibia (Richard Hardwick will play for Grenoble until 2026)
The following list only compromises the players from the top-20 Nations of the World Rugby official ranking
The 2024/25 Pro D2 season gets going next weekend
with Olympique pencilled in for a Friday night home clash versus Valence Romans
and getting organised has been a rush at the second-tier strugglers hoping for an uptick in fortunes
New Zealand is the only nation with no Test Match players playing in the Pro D2
Theres a fair few in it that are now representing another nation (who they are listed under in this article) though
Anyone know if France (community) has ever entertained the idea of having non French teams slots in Pro D2
Giulio Sari and Lorenzo Nanni are both at Oyonnax with Odiase
and Biarritz have just signed Martino Pucciariello who'll join Olmo d'Alessandro
This makes a good argument that Georgia and Portugal to be given some recognition at the T1 table
Based on their maximum squad sizes of 35 players
this works out to be around 42% OS players in the Pro D2

Henry Pollock and his band of brothers pulled off a remarkable heist in Dublin on Leinster to make them believe anything's possible
Is the Queensland boss the right man to lead Australia forward
And will Joe Schmidt be tempted to stick around for Rugby World Cup 2027
Northampton Saints found a way of beating the fabled Jacques Nienaber blitz and inflicting another 'horrific' Champions Cup loss on the Leinster giants
🤣 famously when a photographer asked Doc Craven to smile (he was wearing his usual bull dog face) he replied:”I am smiling”
The full last five minutes were spent in the Northampton half (mostly in the 22)
and a score deficit of 3 in favor of the Saints
And that period included two Leinster penalties
Leinster did not do enough to ensure ball security
All three attacking opportunities (disallowed try
and final tap penalty) should have resulted in a clean ruck recycle but all ended up with losing the ball
The opponents did some naughty things in those tackles/rucks
Leinster should have protected the ball better
and should have managed the recycle better
it was blatantly obvious to read what they were doing
even without it being a repeat of the earlier tap fake
If you look at the defenders they were fully lined up expected that crash ball on the 15m line
got that read reinforced when the Leinster forwards moved wider from the spot
and the defense were ready with a gang tackle
The ball carrier literally had no options other than to take the tackle
and what it looked like was a planned recycle with a pass to RG Snyman off 9
followed bby a Snyman offload and a famous try by a midfielder
But instead of setting the ruck properly the ball carrier face planted
You know where and how you are going to hit the defense
You have your support players right in behind you
The Saints played the ball illegally in the ruck (and got away with it)
but they should never have had the chance to do so
This was like match point in a tennis final
Before you disrespect other fans you should reveal your own nationality…..
Who cares??
Bundee Aki was MOTM in that game sounded confident when he said he’s sure Ireland will meet SA again
I agree with the above although was not quote as hard on Conan and the loss of Doris may play him in?
You should really read my posts and stop trying to justify why the irish keeps choking
How many times have they choked in big a game?
now lets see you sing the same old tune as to how you beat us a handful of times( Irish overall record against SA is just embarrassing) and how we stole the WC and how the ref helped us…….boring
its all about how the irish can not close out big games…….hence the choking tag
Even with all the SH help the irish cant do it…… Just face it…..there is a problem acceptance is the first step :)
What country do you come from
If youre going to throw shade on Ireland identify yourself
Too much of a coward to reveal your homeland
Leinster won the ERC in 2018 plus a few URCs since
Leinster have been in 16 semi finals and won 8
Toulouse have been in 17 semi-finals and won 6
Considering Ireland and Irish teams could count the number of wins they won in the 90s in one hand we will take that
Not enough for an arrogant guy like you too ch1cken sh1t to reveal his country I guess
You’ve got to feel sorry for the lad
he's got some pretty big shoes to fill
Can only imagine the pressure he must be under to perform etc
Oh he's a mug alright 😂
Yes he certainly is
I remember when he said in the preview to the WC QF
that if Ireland play to 90% of their potential
My daughter had warned me multiple times about the risks of crypto scams
but I never imagined I would fall victim to one
It all started when I came across an ad on YouTube for an “Ethereum mining pool” that promised high returns with minimal effort
what I believed was a legitimate investment opportunity was a sophisticated scam
The regret and despair I felt were overwhelming
but the fear of how I would secure my future
I did not know how to get it back or where to start
That's when a friend recommended Tech Cyber Force Recovery
I was surprised at how understanding and patient they were with my situation
They assured me they had the tools and expertise to trace my lost funds
Tech Cyber Force Recovery did exactly what they promised
but they also uncovered the full scope of the scam operation
collaborating with international exchanges and law enforcement to identify the culprits and retrieve as much of my money as possible
What truly impressed me was their professionalism and compassion
They didn’t just treat me like another case; they treated me like a person
I was beyond grateful for their support and expertise throughout the process
Tech Cyber Force Recovery is a miracle worker with a heart of gold
I highly recommend them to anyone facing a similar situation

Another reason for Jordie Barrett
He has not been involved in any of those losses
He is more likely to keep his thinking cap on and not slide down the well worn mud slide to panic that Henshaw was muddied the back of his shirt/shorts with several times in recent years
NH were not going to win that match in the second half
They needed a decent lead from teh 1st half to try and hold
Judging from a few years of poor end game match management my hunch is that sorting it out has fallen between the stools of Cullen-Nienaber and previously Cullen-Lancaster
That’s a finger pointing right at Cullen as overall manager
The lack of big (challenging) matches could also have been mitigated by Leinster by doing a stress test on potential weaknesses
NH obviously did such a test and emerged with a bit of an array of attacking opportunities and as NB has said ways to diminish the rush D
Agree
Sam would be better getting a few learning matches under his belt with some pressure off
(Apart from any Munster supporter Crowley-ite pressure)
Steven Donald very much in the news these days
Whatever blows your skirt up
So how many big tournament has Leinster/ Ireland won in the last 6/7 year
Even with them being the so called favourites
You can’t argue the fact that Irish rugby has an issue when it comes to closing out big games……
as for my team/country we have won more WC’s than Ireland made it past a QF…….Stop making excuses and just except that Irish rugby teams choke and wear that tag proudly……you have earned it!
…so you’ve finally given up farting against thunder in the face of overwhelming evidence on how cocksure Leinster fell flat on their arses then??

Meafua’s club Montauban is in shock after the player died after jumping into the river Tarn
A rugby club has been left in shock after Samoan back row forward Kelly Meafua died after jumping from a bridge into the river Tarn hours after playing in a French second division match
Meafua’s club Montauban confirmed the 32-year-old had not survived the incident in the early hours of Saturday morning despite the efforts of a teammate
named as prop Christopher Vaotoa in French media reports
jumped into the water but was unable to save Meafua
Vaotoa was taken to hospital with hypothermia and was discharged in good health on Saturday
The pair had reportedly been out celebrating Montauban’s 48-40 win over Narbonne just hours earlier in the team’s final home Pro D2 game of the season at Stade Sapiac
Montauban said the club was in shock following Meafua’s death
“The entire club is shocked and everyone is thinking of his wife
his teammates and more generally everyone who loves the club,” a club statement read
“Kelly was a player who was well liked by everybody
His joy for life was infectious and radiant
Born in Samoa, Meafua moved to New Zealand when he was a teenager but did not start playing rugby until he was 20
he moved to Sydney where he played for West Harbour in the Shute Shield and the Greater Sydney Rams
He was also a member of the NSW Waratahs extended training squad in 2014 before leaving for France to play for Narbonne in 2015
He had a spell with Beziers before moving to Montauban last year
This season he played 24 Pro D2 matches and scored eight tries for Montauban

Apple orchards in the French commune of Montauban
were hit by an unexpectedly severe storm last week
Witnesses described seeing a small tornado around 1km wide wreaking destruction along a path of up to 25km
ripping apples from branches and damaging the fruit left hanging
Although the fruit will be covered by insurance
and assistance offered to growers for the replacement of damaged trees
these orchards will be down in production for the next three years
which is a disaster for individual growers impacted
Exporter Blue Whale estimated that losses could reach 3 per cent of the total crop
comparable to the natural variability of the crop during the season
Blue Whale’s growers are located in four different production areas in France - the southwest
the Alps and the Loire Valley - meaning that
the risk associated with climatic disasters is spread out
“It is a real advantage in terms of supply,” said Peyres
“and it protects Blue Whale’s business from the consequences of this kind of storm and even from heavy rainfall in the autumn.”
Peyres equally expressed his sympathy and support for those growers affected
“We would like to extend sincere and special thoughts to our growers affected by this really uncommon event,” he said
“Blue Whale will act to support and help our growers in this ordeal
This is also one of the group's main strengths.”
