Re::EnviroGold Global to Build Demonstration Plant in Brisbane, Australia
C.NVRO | 7 hours ago
Centralized Demonstration Facility Will Process Tailings from Multiple Mining Sites
TORONTO, April 25, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- EnviroGold Global Limited (CSE: NVRO | OTCQB: ESGLF | FSE: YGK) (“EnviroGold,” “NVRO,” or the “Company”), a technology company enabling the global mining industry to monetize valuable metals contained in mine waste and tailings, reduce environmental liabilities and improve social and environmental outcomes, is pleased to provide an update on the Company’s plans to demonstrate and commercialize its proprietary leaching technology (“NVRO Clean Leach Process”).
EnviroGold has selected a manufacturer to construct the processing unit that will be used to demonstrate the NVRO Clean Leach Process to several potential customers, including major global mining companies. In addition, EnviroGold has received an indicative quote for the construction and containerization of the unit, which is materially less than initially estimated. The Company expects these developments will allow it to commence commercial demonstrations of the NVRO Clean Leach Process during the fourth quarter of 2024.
The Company has received interest from several major mining companies asking that it locate the NVRO Clean Leach Process processing unit at their mine sites. To better streamline the testing process and serve multiple clients in quick succession, the Company has opted to construct and install the unit at a centralized industrial facility near Brisbane, Australia, managed by the EnviroGold technical team. There are several benefits of installing the processing plant at a centralized location, which include, allowing multiple mines to ship tailings for processing and testing, eliminating regulatory and environmental permitting issues associated with mine site development, and allowing the Company to decrease turnaround time between mining company demonstrations.
Under this arrangement, customer tailings will be transported to the NVRO demonstration facility, processed using the NVRO Clean Leach Process with the residues transported back to the mine for disposal. The tailings throughput and data collected throughout each project’s tailings processing operations will be sufficient to enable customers to proceed to scale up, front end engineering, and design and project economic assessments.
In addition to allowing multiple mine sites to test the NVRO Clean Leach Process, the demonstration plant will allow the Company to extrapolate its findings into the necessary data for the bankable feasibility study (“BFS”) required to fully commercialize the business. The Company believes that having this will dramatically reduce timelines for major mining companies to deploy the NVRO Clean Leach Process on a much larger commercial scale.
“This is a very exciting development that we expect will decrease the time and cost to begin showcasing the NVRO Clean Leach Process and allow the Company to demonstrate its technology to more customers in less time,” said the Company CEO, Mr. David Cam.

Press Release | 11/29/2021
Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - November 29, 2021) - EnviroGold Global Limited (CSE: NVRO) (FSE: YGK) ("EnviroGold Global" or the "Company"), a Clean Technology Company accelerating the world's transition to a circular-resource economy through the production of metals without mining, is pleased to announce it has agreed to commercial terms with Hellyer Gold Mines Pty Ltd. ("Hellyer Gold Mines" or "HGM") to reprocess the tailings owned by HGM (the "Hellyer Tailings Reprocessing Project") at the Hellyer Gold Mine, Tasmania, Australia. The agreement contemplates a multi-stage Tailings Reprocessing Project wherein EnviroGold Global will add its mineral processing technology to the currently operational and permitted Hellyer Mine. EnviroGold Global and HGM expect that operational synergies resulting from the partnership in conjunction with EnviroGold Global's independently validated, proprietary metallurgical solution (link) for the Hellyer VMS tailings will drive significantly increased metal recovery rates for the gold (Au), silver (Ag), zinc (Zn), lead (Pb) and copper (Cu) contained in the Hellyer tailings.
As per the terms of the MOU, EnviroGold Global will initially focus on reprocessing tailings within the Hellyer Tailings Storage Facility ("Hellyer TSF") currently being operated by HGM. Subsequently, EnviroGold Global will reprocess additional tailings from legacy mining operations located on the Hellyer Mine Site. EnviroGold Global is entitled to 50% of the pre-tax cashflows resulting from the tailings reprocessing operations up to US$24M per year; thereafter, EnviroGold Global is entitled to 65% of the pre-tax cashflows. Consistent with EnviroGold Global's risk management strategy, the Company will not own any part of the Hellyer Mine Site or mining project but will be applying its proprietary mineral processing technology to various tailings deposits located on the Hellyer Mine Site. Commercial metal production is expected in Q4 2022 commencing with deployment of an up to ~500 tonnes per day (tpd) plant; thereafter, operations will be scaled up to ~3,500tpd during 2023.
Commenting on the Hellyer Tailings Reprocessing Project, EnviroGold Global CEO, Dr. Mark Thorpe, said, "The agreement with HGM is an important strategic milestone in the achievement of our corporate growth strategy and an outstanding opportunity to deliver positive environmental outcomes while creating substantial economic returns for the two companies, our shareholders and community stakeholders. We look forward to a long and productive relationship with the professionals at HGM as we establish circular-economy leadership by producing precious, critical and strategic metals without mining."
Per the terms of the MOU, EnviroGold Global and HGM will enter into a final, definitive agreement governing the terms of the Tailings Reprocessing Project. EnviroGold Global expects to provide additional information on the Hellyer Tailings Reprocessing Project, including project economics, in the near-term.
Hellyer TSF Project Summary
The Hellyer TSF tailings have been extensively studied by EnviroGold Global and HGM. A historical mineral resource estimate ("historical estimate") was completed in November 2020 in accordance with the JORC Code (2012) for the Hellyer TSF tailings for NQ Minerals Plc ("NQM"), the parent company of HGM. This historical estimate was completed by independent mining consultants CSA Global (UK) Limited and reported in a JORC Competent Persons Report (NQM, 2020), which can be sourced from NQM's corporate website (see link below). The Hellyer TSF historical estimate reported 6.37 Mt of Measured and Indicated Mineral Resources and 1.21 Mt of Inferred Mineral Resources with gross metal grades of 2.60 g/t Au, 94 g/t Ag, 2.33% Zn, 3.01% Pb and 0.19% Cu (Table 1).

Historical Estimate Notes:
The Hellyer TSF historical estimate was completed in accordance with the 2012 Australasian Joint Ore Reserves Committee Code ("JORC 2012 Code") and reported in a JORC Competent Persons Report for NQM dated November 11, 2020 for the "Hellyer Tailings Retreatment Project, Tasmania" (link to source: nqminerals.com)
No lower cut-off reporting grade was applied.
Metal tonnages and ounces rounded from calculated values. Gross metal grades include 2.60 g/t Au, 94 g/t Ag, 2.33% Zn, 3.01% Pb and 0.19% Cu.
This historical estimate is considered relevant as it appears to demonstrate the potential tonnages and grades and reasonable prospects for eventual economic extraction for the Hellyer TSF tailings. However, EnviroGold Global cautions readers that this historical estimate was not completed using 2014 CIM Definition Standards on Mineral Resources and Reserves and is not supported by a technical report completed in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 ("NI 43-101"). In addition, under the JORC (2012) Code standards, Measured, Indicated, and Inferred mineral resource tonnages can be combined, which is not permitted under NI 43-101. A Qualified Person ("QP") has not done sufficient work to classify this historical estimate as current mineral resources and EnviroGold Global is not treating this historical estimate as current mineral resources. A significant amount of work is required to verify the historical estimate as current resources including: (1) upgrading the geological model with any additional drilling data and mining depletions on the tailings since the historical estimate was completed, (2) a QP completing a full data verification of historical drill hole sampling procedures, analytical results, and metallurgical test results, and (3) additional bench-scale and field metallurgical test work to determine reprocessing and recovery characteristics using EnviroGold Global's proprietary tailings reprocessing technology. EnviroGold Global is not aware of any additional historical estimates for the Hellyer TSF tailings.

Range Energy Resources Inc.: Shewashan Operations Update
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Feb. 8, 2017) - Range Energy Resources Inc. ("Range" or the "Company") (CSE:RGO)(CSE:RGO.CN)(FRANKFURT:YGK) announced today that, Gas Plus Khalakan ("GPK"), the sole contractor of the Khalakan PSC in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq, issued an operations update regarding the Shewashan field.
The GPK Shewashan operations update provides details regarding key events and activities that have occurred as well as activities that are anticipated to occur over the near term, including;
2016 & 2017 Oil Production: During 2016 the Shewashan field produced 877,000 barrels of oil which was sold into the Kurdistan domestic market. GPK estimates 2017 total Shewashan field production of up to 3,000,000 bbls.
Shewashan -3 Commences Production: The Shewashan -3 well reached TD1 of 2874m MDBRT2 in December 2016 and was placed into production in late January 2017 at a rate of 2,600 bbl/d with a 24/64" choke, very low drawdown and no produced water. However the well has now started to pull formation water and this is being investigated.
Shewashan -4 Drilling Progress: The fourth Shewashan production well, Shewashan -4, was spud in November with dual targets including the existing productive zones in the Cretaceous and the unexplored and deeper Jurassic formations. Shewashan -4 is expected to reach TD in late March 2017.
Oil Payments: In 2016 a total of $10.98m in oil sales payments were received by GPK for oil sold through September 2016. Oil sold from October 2016 through December 2016 was paid for in January 2017, amounting to $4.57m.
Reserve Report: GPK intends to engage DeGolyer and MacNaughton to update its June 2015 reserve audit during Q1 2017.

(2) Measured depth below rotary table
Readers are encouraged to read the full GPK Operations Update which can be found at the NewAge website. http://www.newafricanglobalenergy.com/Related_News.
Range Financial Update: Based on the GPK Operation Update Range will seek to raise capital to meet it's near term capital requirements of USD $2,600,000 and to refinance its existing short term loans of CDN $5,720,000. To meet the remaining capital requirements of the Phase 1 Field Development Plan Range expects additional capital requirements of between approximately USD $4,000,000 and $5,500,000 depending on the amount of proceeds received from oil sales, oil production rate, the price per barrel of oil sold, drilling and operational expenses, and cash on hand amongst others. Range anticipates that the Phase 1 Field Development Plan capex requirements will conclude Q2 2017.
Mr. Toufic Chahine, Chairman of Range, commented: "We are pleased with GPK's efforts to enhance the productivity of the Shewashan field and are delighted with the Shewashan -3 production rates. With three wells successfully drilled it is still early in the fields development cycle and as we learn more about the underlying reservoir geology, we look forward to additional news from the Shewashan -4 drilling results."
The Company is a 24.95% indirect shareholder of GPK through its ownership of 49.9% of the shares of New Age Alzarooni 2 Limited ("NAAZ2"). NAAZ2 owns 50% of the shares of GPK.
Production rates and quantities, reserves and resources, both projected and historical are provided in this release according to disclosures provided by GPK. Range expects GPK to utilize reporting procedures that are in compliance with the COGE Handbook standards and NI 51-101 (National Instrument Standards of Disclosure for Oil and Gas Activities).
