Envirogold launches muNVRO pilot, appoints PPM Global

Executive Summary

• Envirogold Global completed its 2025 NVRO Process optimization program and finalized the design of a mobile pilot‑scale “muNVRO” plant.
• The company appointed PPM Global to construct and commission muNVRO units, with the first unit now under construction at the Fremantle (Western Australia) facility.
• A fleet of containerized, mobile muNVRO plants is planned for deployment in three priority jurisdictions (plus two under review) to accelerate customer tailings‑reprocessing projects and expand Envirogold’s commercial pipeline.

Key Details

• 2025 Optimization Program: Updated NVRO Process flowsheet completed; incorporated extensive lab work, advanced process modelling, and the IDEAS digital twin developed by Andritz with engineering support from Hatch.
• PPM Global Appointment: Engaged as specialist partner for construction and commissioning of muNVRO plants; brings experience in metallurgical project delivery across international mining jurisdictions.
• muNVRO Design: Mobile, precision‑engineered pilot‑scale plant (microNVRO) that replicates full‑scale NVRO Process performance; equipped with integrated sensors, analytical systems, and real‑time monitoring via the IDEAS digital twin platform.
• Construction Status: First muNVRO unit under construction at Envirogold’s Fremantle facility; intended for customer site‑specific validation and generation of high‑resolution technical data to support feasibility studies.
• Fleet Deployment Plan: After commissioning, PPM Global will build a fleet of containerized muNVRO units for deployment across three priority jurisdictions with attractive tailings targets; two additional jurisdictions are under review. Units will be delivered directly to customer sites for in‑situ testing, engineering validation, and cost studies.
• Strategic Expansion: Planning relocation and expansion of test‑work infrastructure, including establishing a dedicated United States‑based testing site to support North American deployments and accelerate customer engagement.
