Centralized processing model enhances access to critical minerals, accelerates project execution, and supports scalable commercial deployment
VANCOUVER, British Columbia, April 13, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- EnviroGold Global Limited (TSXV: NVRO OTCQB: ESGLF | FSE: YGK) (“EnviroGold& or the “Company&), a clean technology company focused on the recovery of precious and critical metals from mine waste and tailings, announces that it is advancing its strategy to support the expanded supply of precious and critical metals through the development of a centralized critical minerals processing hub model, enabled by its proprietary NVRO Process™.
EnviroGold has been developing a centralized processing strategy aimed at expanding its addressable market in the United States, Canada, and Australia in order to accelerate revenue opportunities. As the strategy advances towards execution, further details will be announced in the near-term.
Advancing Critical Minerals Supply Through Existing Assets
EnviroGold&s strategy is focused on enabling faster and more efficient access to metals from both existing above-ground tailings and complex sulphide ore systems, where conventional processing is less effective.
Unlike conventional mining, tailings have already been mined, transported, and processed, are typically well understood, and are often located within established mining districts with access to infrastructure.
Recovering metals from these sources contributes to more timely and reliable supply while reducing the development timelines associated with new mining projects.
Centralized Processing Hub Strategy
To support this objective, EnviroGold is advancing a centralized processing hub model under which tailings from multiple projects can be processed through shared, partner-operated infrastructure. This approach reduces the need for standalone processing facilities, improves access to processing capacity for owners of tailings, and enables the aggregation of feedstock across multiple sources. The model is expected to operate under a range of commercial structures, including licensing, tolling, and participation-based arrangements.
Accelerating Project Execution and Revenue Opportunities
By providing access to established processing infrastructure, the centralized hub model enables a faster transition from project evaluation to production, supporting earlier revenue generation while reducing capital requirements and development risks.
This approach will allow EnviroGold to convert a greater proportion of its project pipeline to production, supporting the development of multiple concurrent operations.
Expanding Access to Processing and Market Participation
The centralized model enhances EnviroGold&s ability to participate in a wider range of opportunities by enabling projects to progress without standalone plant development and by supporting access to multiple feed sources across jurisdictions. This, in turn, will facilitate the development of longer-term commercial relationships linked to processing capacity.
In parallel, the Company continues to evaluate the application of the NVRO Process™ as a primary processing pathway for certain complex sulphide deposits, which may further broaden its role within the mining value chain.
Aligned with Evolving Industry Priorities
EnviroGold&s approach is aligned with increasing global focus on securing a reliable supply of critical minerals. NVRO&s process for recovering metals from existing resources supports reduced environmental impact through tailings remediation and helps reduce development pathway risks.
The Company believes the centralized processing hub model provides a practical framework to support these priorities while advancing its own commercial objectives.
Complementary to a Scalable, Capital-Light Model
The centralized hub strategy complements EnviroGold&s technology-led, capital-light business model, which is focused on the deployment of the NVRO Process™, advancing project opportunities, and structuring commercial agreement.
Centralized processing facilities are expected to be operated by experienced partners, allowing EnviroGold to scale deployment while maintaining capital discipline.
Selective ownership of infrastructure may be considered where it supports accelerated strategic or commercial outcomes.
Strategic Significance
EnviroGold believes this strategy represents a key step in scaling its commercial platform, enabling broader participation in critical mineral supply opportunities, faster conversion of pipeline projects into commercial operations, and the development of a repeatable, multi-project revenue base.
“The centralized processing hub strategy has been developed to support our objective of enabling more efficient access to critical minerals from existing resources,& said Grant Freeman, CEO of the Company. “By leveraging existing processing capacity, we can accelerate the progression of projects and support earlier revenue opportunities across our pipeline. We believe this model enhances our ability to participate in the growing demand for critical minerals while maintaining a disciplined and scalable approach to deployment.&
