These actions eliminate all outstanding convertible and promissory liabilities from the company's balance sheet, marking a major milestone for Envirogold as it advances toward commercialization of its proprietary NVRO Process.

The notes were issued with a face value of $4,119,000, this debt has been converted in full through the issue of 68,650,446 shares at six cents per share with an additional 3,192,363 shares issued for interest and costs at prevailing share prices on the conversion dates ranging from May 20, 2025, to Nov. 7, 2025.
Chief executive officer David Cam commented: "With all convertible debt now retired, a clean balance sheet, Envirogold enters its next phase from a position of strength. These steps underpin our focus on executing the commercialization of the NVRO Process, scaling partnerships and delivering sustainable, recurring revenue growth."

The participation of these insiders in the note offering and in the subsequent conversion constitutes a related party transaction under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 -- Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions. The company is relying on the exemptions from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements under sections 5.5(b) and 5.7(1)(b), respectively, of MI 61-101, as the fair-market value of the securities issued to insiders and the consideration paid by them does not exceed $2.5-million.
