The accelerating demand for gold and silver as essential conductors supporting global artificial intelligence infrastructure represents a significant shift in precious metal markets. According to World Gold Council data, technology demand reached approximately 326 tonnes last year, representing a 7% increase from previous levels. During the same period, electronics and industrial applications consumed more than 10.5 million ounces of silver, highlighting the expanding industrial consumption of precious metals beyond traditional uses into advanced technological sectors.
The growing deployment of AI technologies is driving further expansion in demand for conductive metals, positioning companies like ESGold Corp. to benefit from this emerging trend. ESGold is advancing its fully funded, fully permitted gold-silver project designed for near-term production and long-term scalability. The company's strategic positioning comes at a time when industrial applications for precious metals are expanding significantly, with tightening reserves adding further pressure to supply chains.
ESGold Corp. operates as a fully permitted, preproduction resource company with expertise in Quebec mining operations. The company's flagship Montauban property, located 80 kilometers west of Quebec City, serves as a model for responsible mining practices that combine near-term production capabilities with district-scale discovery potential. This project represents the company's commitment to sustainable resource recovery and exploration innovation during a period of increasing industrial demand.
