Envirogold obtains 99.6% Au recovery in phase 3 testing

NVRO · Price

Executive Summary

  • Envirogold Global Ltd. announced exceptional Phase 3 metallurgical results from its proprietary NVRO Process applied to major tailings reprocessing projects.
  • Independent testing at ALS Laboratories validated high recovery rates for gold and silver, with significant increases in concentrate grades compared to previous benchmarks.
  • The project involves over 9 million tonnes of tailings with estimated gross in-situ metal values exceeding $3 billion USD, offering potential multiple revenue streams from precious metals and base/critical metals.

Key Details

  • Gold Recovery: 99.55% of gold recovered to a saleable concentrate.
  • Silver Recovery: 98.96% of silver recovered to a saleable concentrate.
  • Gold Grade Increase: Gold in concentrate increased by 380%, rising from 5.5 g/t to 20.9 g/t.
  • Silver Grade Increase: Silver in concentrate increased by 602%, rising from 92 g/t to 554 g/t.
  • Base/Critical Metals: Base and critical metals reporting to the pregnant leach solution (PLS) increased by 8%.
  • Model Validation: Strong correlation observed between laboratory results and Andritz IDEAS simulation modelling, confirming the reliability and scalability of the NVRO Process.
  • Environmental Benefits: The plan aims for an 86% reduction in acid mine draining potential by reducing pyrite content and a 14% reduction in on-site tailings volumes.
  • Production Volume: Estimated 1.2 million tonnes of saleable precious metal concentrates.
  • Resource Value: Existing tailings facilities contain more than 9 million tonnes of material with gross in-situ metal values exceeding $3 billion (U.S.).
  • Next Steps: Phase 4 of the rapid deployment pathway will validate mass balance, recovery performance, project economics, and environmental outcomes at scale.

Notable Quotes
