EnviroGold Global is a clean technology company committed to capitalizing 
environmental stewardship and accelerating the world's transition to a circular 
resource economy. EnviroGold Global was incorporated for the purpose of 
commercializing, marketing, developing, operating, and licensing a suite of 
environmentally friendly technical solutions for the recovery of precious, 
critical and strategic metals and minerals from mine tailings, ores, resource 
development waste streams and other resource bearing materials.

"Obtaining a listing on a major securities exchange is an important milestone 
in the growth of our Company. We are grateful for the support of our 
shareholders and the efforts of our experienced, talented team," said Dr. Mark 
Thorpe, the CEO of EGGL. "We believe this listing will enhance our visibility 
and liquidity, strengthen and broaden our shareholder base, and pave the way 
for accelerated growth as we create long-term value for shareholders, 
stakeholders and the environment by leading the future of a sustainable, 
circular economy in metals & mining."

Overview of the Transaction

The Transaction was completed by way of a three-cornered amalgamation (the 
"Amalgamation") pursuant to which EnviroGold Global amalgamated with a 
wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and the Company acquired all the issued 
and outstanding common shares of EnviroGold Global (the "EnviroGold Global 
Shares") in exchange for its common shares ("EGGL Shares") on the basis of one 
EGGL Share for each EnviroGold Global Share issued and outstanding, as a result 
of which EnviroGold Global became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The 
Amalgamation also provides that all outstanding options, restricted share units 
and warrants to purchase EnviroGold Global Shares remain outstanding and now 
entitle the holders thereof to acquire equivalent securities of EGGL in lieu of 
EnviroGold Global on the same terms and conditions.


For further information with respect to the Transaction and the business of 
EGGL, please refer to the listing statement (the "Listing Statement") of EGGL 
which will be filed under its profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

Commencement of Trading

The Transaction constituted a fundamental change in accordance with the 
policies of the Canadian Securities Exchange (the "CSE").  Trading in the 
common shares of the Company is currently halted; however, the CSE has 
conditionally approved the listing of the EGGL Shares in connection with the 
Transaction. Listing is anticipated shortly but is subject to EGGL fulfilling 
all listing requirements of the CSE. Subject to final approval, the EGGL Shares 
are anticipated to commence trading on the CSE under the ticker symbol "NVRO". 
The Company will provide an update once the CSE has issued a bulletin 
confirming the date on which trading on the CSE will commence.

Unit Financing

Prior to the closing of the Transaction, EnviroGold Global completed a 
non-brokered private placement (the "Unit Financing") resulting in the sale of 
an aggregate of 8,201,413 units (the "Units") at a price of $0.56 per Unit, 
each comprised of one (1) EnviroGold Global Share and three (3) subscription 
receipts of EnviroGold Global (the "Subscription Receipts") for aggregate gross 
proceeds of approximately C$4,592,791.28 (the "Offering"). The proceeds from 
the Subscription Receipt portion of the Offering were placed into escrow on 
completion of the Offering. Immediately prior to the completion of the 
Transaction, the Subscription Receipts were converted on a one-for-one basis 
into EGGL Shares. The escrowed proceeds from the Offering, less certain 
transaction fees and expenses, have been released from escrow to EGGL. 
Outstanding finder warrants issued in connection with the Offering remain 
outstanding and now entitle the holders thereof to acquire equivalent 
securities of EGGL in lieu of EnviroGold Global on the same terms and 
conditions. 

The net proceeds from the Offering will be used to fund the Company's first 
site operations and for general working capital.
