Arthur Gooch Appointed Chief Technology Officer (CTO)
EnviroGold has appointed Arthur Gooch, P.Eng., as Chief Technology Officer, effective immediately.

Based in Vancouver, British Columbia, Arthur joins EnviroGold following a distinguished 20-year career with Andritz where he most recently served as Global Director of Autonomous Operations, leading international R&D programs that developed fully autonomous, AI-enabled industrial control systems.
Previously, Arthur held senior innovation and process-engineering roles within Andritz, including Director of Innovation and Manager of Process Control, where he pioneered AI-driven optimization platforms across mining, pulp and paper, and heavy industrial sectors.
"We are pleased to welcome Arthur to the EnviroGold team," said Grant Freeman, Co-CEO of EnviroGold Global. "Arthur's expertise uniquely positions him to help our clients reduce risk and costs as we advance through commercialization and commissioning. His appointment marks a major step forward in building the technological backbone for EnviroGold's deployment phase. His leadership in automation, AI, and process integration will help accelerate the NVRO Process™ from pilot to commercial scale, ensuring efficiency, repeatability, and superior performance."
"EnviroGold represents the intersection of technology and sustainability, a company using innovation to redefine how the world accesses critical and precious metals," said Arthur Gooch. "I'm proud to join the team at this exciting stage and to help deploy the NVRO Process™ globally."
