PlaGorm to commence discussions with mining companies regarding bioremedia1on of affected sites. Proposed projects aim to rehabilitate coastal and waterway ecosystems affected by mining and industrial pollu1on. BP8 aiming to deploy its proprietary exper1se in cul1va1ng high-biomass, pollutant-absorbing seaweed and coastal plant species. Core species include Sesuvium portulacastrum and Gracilaria, both known for hyperaccumula1on of heavy metals such as mercury and arsenic. Harvested biomass may enable the extrac1on of strategic minerals for poten1al pharmaceu1cal and tradi1onal medicine use, suppor1ng broader health outcomes. Government engagement is essen1al due to regulatory control of coastal and inland waterways, with BP8 seeking necessary approvals to operate in these areas. The Board of BPH Global Ltd (ASX: BP8) (Company), is pleased to inform the market that the Company has commenced discussions with the Na:onal Economic Council of Indonesia (Dewan Ekonomi Nasional) regarding its bioremedia:on services. These discussions include the poten:al establishment of seaweed-based bioremedia:on projects to rehabilitate Indonesian coastlines and waterways affected by mining opera:ons. Managing Director MaXhew Leonard said: “This engagement with The Na:onal Economic Council of Indonesia represents a significant step forward for the Company. We are op:mis:c about the poten:al to deploy our bioremedia:on technologies in partnership with Indonesian authori:es to address environmental damage caused by mining ac:vity. Our seaweed-based solu:ons offer a sustainable, scalable approach to rehabilita:ng coastal and waterway ecosystems, aligning with our environmental mission and our commitment to improved health outcomes — not only for directly affected communi:es, but also more broadly through the recovery of strategic minerals for use in tradi:onal medicine and pharmaceu:cal applica:ons”. The Company’s Objec1ves and Business Model The Company aims to partner with industries that discharge pollutants into coastal areas and waterways, focusing on delivering effec:ve, nature-based bioremedia:on solu:ons. Leveraging its technical exper:se in seaweed cul:va:on and harves:ng, the Company applies specialised knowledge in species selec:on to op:mise remedia:on outcomes. By iden:fying and cul:va:ng seaweed species or coastal plants best suited to specific polluted environments—par:cularly those that thrive in affected waters and act as hyperaccumulators of pollutants and valuable minerals—the Company seeks to provide sustainable environmental restora:on services. This approach not only supports ecosystem rehabilita:on but also creates poten:al value from the harvested biomass through the recovery of strategic minerals for applica:ons in tradi:onal medicine and pharmaceu:cals. As part of its strategic focus, the Company is targe:ng bioremedia:on opportuni:es within the mining sector—specifically the nickel and coal industries—where the environmental impact of opera:ons presents a pressing need for remedia:on solu:ons. In support of this strategy, the Company has undertaken preliminary due diligence on selected nickel and coal opera:ons in Indonesia, including a recent site visit to a nickel mine and refinery. These ac:vi:es mark an important step toward developing tailored remedia:on partnerships aligned with industry needs and na:onal environmental priori:es. About Bioremedia1on Bioremedia:on harnesses natural organisms to remove or neutralize pollutants from the environment. A key species is Sesuvium portulacastrum, a succulent coastal halophyte commonly known as salt marsh or :dal marsh plant. Its succulent nature allows it to produce significantly more biomass per unit area compared to typical seaweed species, which are o`en flat or thinly branched in tropical regions. Sesuvium growing in Medan, Indonesia Although Sesuvium is not technically a seaweed, it func:ons as a coastal weed within this context and is recognized as a hyper accumulator of heavy metals and other pollutants. Depending on sitespecific water condi:ons, the Company may also deploy a combina:on of Sesuvium alongside seaweed species like Gracilaria to maximize remedia:on effec:veness. Sesuvium can be grown on land or on the water surface using floating raft and mat structures as depicted in this photograph Focus on the Indonesia-based Mining Industry Indonesia’s mining sector is a significant contributor to coastal and waterway pollu:on, par:cularly through the discharge of heavy metals and other toxic substances into surrounding ecosystems. These impacts pose serious risks to biodiversity, public health, and local livelihoods. Recognising these challenges, the Indonesian Government has iden:fied environmental remedia:on as a na:onal priority, with a par:cular focus on the mining industry—especially the nickel and coal sectors. BP8’s seaweed-based bioremedia:on ini:a:ves are well aligned with these objec:ves, offering scalable, nature-based solu:ons to address pollu:on from nickel and coal opera:ons. Through this approach, BP8 aims to contribute meaningfully to Indonesia’s environmental rehabilita:on targets while suppor:ng the sustainable transforma:on of key industrial sectors. The Importance of Government Engagement and Regulatory Approvals While BP8’s bioremedia:on services are designed for industrial polluters, par:cularly within the mining sector, government involvement remains cri:cal. Coastal and internal waterways in Indonesia are under government jurisdic:on and control, with strict regulatory frameworks governing ac:vi:es conducted in these sensi:ve environments. To legally operate and implement commercial bioremedia:on projects, the Company must secure necessary government approvals and, where applicable, licenses or permits. This regulatory oversight ensures that remedia:on efforts align with na:onal environmental standards and policies, and that opera:ons are conducted responsibly. Engagement with the Na:onal Economic Council and other government bodies facilitates streamlined approvals and fosters collabora:ve partnerships that support both environmental objec:ves and sustainable economic development. About the Na1onal Economic Council of Indonesia (Dewan Ekonomi Nasional) The Na:onal Economic Council of Indonesia (Dewan Ekonomi Nasional) is a key advisory body within the Indonesian Government responsible for formula:ng and coordina:ng na:onal economic policies. It plays an important role in guiding sustainable development strategies, including environmental management and pollu:on control ini:a:ves. Engagement with the Council provides BPH Global with a strategic pla6orm to align its bioremedia:on projects with government priori:es and to collaborate on solu:ons addressing the environmental challenges posed by industrial pollu:on - END Authorised for lodgement by the Board of the Company For further informa:on, please visit our website at www.bp8global.com or contact: Mr Paul Stephenson Chairman of BPH Global Limited E: pauls@bp8global.com
