– CANADA, Vancouver – ESGold Corp. (CSE: ESAU | OTCQB: ESAUF | FSE: Z7D) announced the appointment of Peter Espig to its Board of Directors, effective immediately.
About Peter Espig
Peter Espig served as VP at Goldman Sachs Japan in both the Principal Finance and Securitization Group and the Asia Special Situations Group, where his team participated in more than $10 billion in structured deals, capital raises, and cross-border transactions. Before Goldman Sachs, he was VPt at Olympus Capital, a New York-based private equity firm, where he focused on corporate restructurings, investment analysis, and international financing negotiations. He also played a pioneering role in some of the earliest SPAC transactions, totaling over US$1.2 billion, and brings deep experience in disciplined capital deployment and turnaround execution.
Since 2013, Peter Espig has served as President and CEO of Nicola Mining Inc., where he led the company out of creditor protection and transformed it from a distressed asset into a cash-flowing mining enterprise — a rare achievement for a junior miner. Under his leadership, Nicola not only achieved production but also established multiple milling partnerships and saw its market capitalization grow over tenfold — a testament to disciplined execution, lean operations, and long-term value creation.
Peter Espig holds a Bachelor of Arts from the University of British Columbia and an MBA from Columbia Business School, where he was a Chazen International Scholar. He has served on various public boards and was recognized among Industry Era’s “Top 10 Admired Leaders” in 2023.
“ESGold is entering a transformational phase — one that few mining companies successfully reach,” said Peter Espig. “With a permitted asset, near-term production, and an ambitious but disciplined leadership team, I believe ESGold has the building blocks to become a scalable and sustainable Canadian producer. I look forward to contributing my experience to support this transition and help guide long-term growth.”
