VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Oct. 02, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- EnviroGold Global (“EnviroGold Global” or “the Company”) today announced its readiness to support the United States’ drive for silver supply security by deploying the Company’s proprietary NVRO Process™ to recover silver from U.S. mine tailings and other mine-waste streams.
This announcement follows the U.S. Department of the Interior’s publication of the Draft 2025 List of Critical Minerals, which, for the first time, includes silver, elevating its strategic importance for national security and clean-energy supply chains.
Why Silver from Tailings, and Why Now
- Policy support: The Interior Department has directed agencies to prioritise recovery of critical minerals from mine waste, including tailings, coal refuse and legacy sites, by streamlining permitting, and extending federal support to waste-recovery projects.
- Strategic dependence: According to the USGS 2025 Mineral Commodity Summaries, the U.S. remains a net importer of silver, with 2024 domestic production of 1,100 t versus 4,200 t imported.
- Above-ground resource: The USGS Earth MRI “Mine Waste” program is inventorying metal endowment in legacy waste to accelerate domestic recovery. Recovering minerals from mine waste can significantly reduce the environmental footprint compared to new (greenfield) mining projects.
- Scale and opportunity: A recent Colorado School of Mines study concluded that the U.S. could meet much of its demand for several critical minerals by recovering metals in mining waste streams, highlighting tailings as a major, under-utilised source.
- EnviroGold’s pipeline: The Company has identified billions of dollars’ worth of silver contained in U.S. tailings, including a project currently in Stage 3 testing under its Rapid Deployment Pathway™.
EnviroGold’s NVRO Process™ Mineral Processing Solution
EnviroGold’s NVRO Process™ is designed to extract precious and critical metals from tailings while helping mine owners reduce environmental liabilities. By reclaiming metals already above ground, the NVRO Process™ supports:
- Supply security: Reducing U.S. reliance on foreign imports.
- Environmental remediation: Restoring legacy mining sites and reducing pollution.
- Local economic development: Creating jobs in mining communities.
Envirogold is preparing to engage with U.S. federal and state stakeholders and is actively advancing pilot and commercial reprocessing programs with mine and tailings owners.
David Cam, CEO of EnviroGold Global, said: “With silver now recognised on the U.S. draft critical minerals list, unlocking domestic silver from tailings is no longer optional, it’s a U.S. Federal Government directive. EnviroGold Global enables the U.S. to reclaim metals already above ground, reducing import reliance while transforming environmental liabilities into resilient sovereign supply.”
