EnviroGold Global Limited (CSE: NVRO | OTCQB: ESGLF | FSE: YGK)
(“EnviroGold,” 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 announce
that it has closed the fourth and final tranche of its previously
announced non-brokered private placement (the “Financing”) and
issued 17,310,900 units (the “Units”) at a price of $0.05 per Unit
for aggregate gross proceeds of $865,545. Each Unit consists of one
common share (each, a “Common Share”) and one full warrant (each, a
“Warrant”) which is exercisable to acquire one additional Common
Share at a price of $0.08 until April 30, 2026.
EnviroGold CEO David Cam commented, “We are excited to be
progressing through the next stage of the development of the NVRO
Process. This technology enables EnviroGold to continue its mission
to enhance sustainable mining practices, reducing acid generating
mine waste and recovering valuable metals.
The NVRO Process is a leach process that breaks down the acidic
generating sulphides in the waste stream and recovers metal that
was previously trapped. The benefits to mining companies is that
they can generate metal credits and reduce their long term
liabilities and risks associated with Tailings Storage
Facilities.
This new capital will also allow the Company to fully commission
its demonstration plant with two prospective clients to commence
demonstration plant testing on their tailings and waste materials
in October 2024 with results expected late 2024.”
In total, Envirogold has raised gross proceeds of $2,244,279
under the Financing, after twice increasing the size of the
Financing to a maximum amount of $2,250,000 due to continuing
investor interest.
Envirogold intends to use the proceeds from the Financing to
accelerate the establishment of the NVRO Clean Leach Process
demonstration facility, to advance revenue generating customer
relationships, for general operating and administrative
expenses.
As part of the Financing, the Company settled $20,545 of debt by
issuing 410,900 Units to a consultant.
All securities issued in connection with the Financing will be
subject to a statutory hold period of four months from the date of
issuance pursuant to applicable securities laws of
Canada. No finder’s fees were paid on this closing.
A director of the Company participated in this fourth tranche of
the Financing in the amount of $25,000. The participation by such
insider is considered a “related-party transaction” within the
meaning of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority
Security Holders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101”). The Company
has relied on exemptions from the formal valuation and minority
shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 contained in
sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101 in respect of related
party participation in the Financing as neither the fair market
value (as determined under MI 61-101) of the subject matter of, nor
the fair market value of the consideration for, the transaction,
insofar as it involved related parties, exceeded 25% of the
Company’s market capitalization (as determined under MI
61-101).
The Company did not file a material change report more than 21
days before the expected closing of the Financing as the details of
the participation therein by a related party of the Company were
not settled until shortly prior to closing of the Financing and the
Company wished to close on an expedited basis for sound business
reasons.
