The latest update is out from Secova Metals ( (TSE:ESAU) ).

ESGold Corp. reported initial metallurgical test results from historical gold and silver tailings in Colombia’s Bolívar region, showing that the material is amenable to simple gravity separation using a flowsheet similar to its Montauban project. Bench‑scale tests delivered encouraging feed grades and concentrate grades with no chemical reagents, although gold recoveries varied due to manual bench procedures and will require optimization.

The company plans further work on process parameters, confirmatory sampling and onsite pilot‑scale testing to stabilize recoveries and refine concentrate specifications ahead of potential modular deployment. Management says the Colombian tailings concept could shorten the path to cash flow by avoiding drilling and blasting, and, alongside the advancing Montauban project, it sees this as strengthening ESGold’s long‑term growth outlook and positioning it as an emerging, sustainable producer in the gold and silver sector.

The most recent analyst rating on (TSE:ESAU) stock is a Hold with a C$0.78 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Secova Metals stock, see the TSE:ESAU Stock Forecast page.

Spark’s Take on TSE:ESAU Stock

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, TSE:ESAU is a Neutral.

The score is primarily held back by weak financial performance: no revenue, widening losses, and ongoing cash burn despite a low-debt balance sheet. Technicals are supportive with a strong uptrend, but overbought signals reduce confidence near-term. Valuation is constrained by negative earnings and no dividend support.
