NetworkNewsWire Editorial Coverage

NEW YORK, June 4, 2025 /CNW/ -- 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. (CNSX:ESAU.CN) (OTC-BB: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.TO), Agnico Eagle Mines (NYSE:AEM) and Wheaton Precious Metals (NYSE:WPM) — that are committed to being leaders in the mining space.
