Newlox Gold Granted Approval for the Installation of its Electrical Substation at Plant 2

Vancouver, BC, 30 November 2023 – Newlox Gold Ventures Corp. (“Newlox” or the “Company”) (CSE: LUX | Frankfurt/Stuttgart: NGO | PINK: NWLXF), is pleased to announce a significant milestone in its operations with the resolution of the electrical supply issue for Plant #2 (the Boston Project). The Boston Project will benefit from connection to the Costa Rican grid, which is a stable and 98% renewable electricity system.

After months of dialogue, Newlox has reached a comprehensive agreement with ICE, the Costa Rican Electrical Institute, to construct and install essential infrastructure, which will ensure a reliable and robust electrical supply to the project. The collaboration involved extensive and meticulous planning, which has resulted in ICE granting final approval.

After 5 months and considerable negotiations, ICE has approved the final deployment of appropriate equipment to sustain the current and future operations. Under the agreement with ICE, Newlox has acquired the necessary equipment at its own expense. Furthermore, ICE executed a series of upgrades to the power lines, contributing to the overall improvement of our facilities. While these enhancements temporarily impacted our operations, they are pivotal to ensuring our long-term success.

Newlox Gold has already secured a team of skilled professionals to execute the agreed-upon work and has initiated the procurement process for the required components, including the essential electrical transformer. This strategic move aligns with our commitment to operational excellence and positions the company for sustained power supply.

The Boston Project is slated to become the Company’s second environmentally and socially responsible precious metals project in Costa Rica. The Project will process feedstock newly extracted from the Boston Mine by the Company’s local mining partners. At full scale, Newlox will operate the new Boston mill to process 150 tonnes per day of material grading +- 15 grams per tonne gold with an anticipated gold recovery of 90%. All feedstock is to be provided by the Company’s mining partners, with profits to be split evenly between the parties.

“We are pleased to have successfully navigated through the complexities of securing a stable electrical supply for Plant #2. This achievement underscores our dedication to overcoming challenges and reinforces our commitment to responsible and sustainable growth,” said Jeffrey Benavides, CFO of Newlox Gold Ventures Corporation.

Newlox Gold Announces the Antioquia Community Coexistence Gold Project in Colombia

Newlox Gold Announces the Antioquia Community Coexistence Gold Project in Colombia

Vancouver, BC, 20 November 2023 – Newlox Gold Ventures Corp. (“Newlox” or the “Company”) (CSE: LUX | Frankfurt/Stuttgart: NGO | PINK: NWLXF), is pleased to announce it has signed an agreement to acquire 100% of the Antioquia Community Coexistence Project (the “Coexistence Project”) in San Roque, Department of Antioquia, Colombia for a total of US$1.5 million to be paid in upcoming installments. The Coexistence Project will follow the coexistence model for relations with artisanal mining, which was spearheaded by Dr. Marcello Veiga and embraced by the Colombian Government and local stakeholders. The Project will provide local small miners access to modern mineral processing options through a partnership with Newlox Gold.

As part of the agreement, Newlox Gold’s Coexistence Project will be the exclusive processing facility for all feedstock mined from the Gramalote artisanal mines over an initial term of 21 years, with an automatic renewal of the agreement occurring when the underlying mineral concessions are renewed. The Company intends to initially construct a 500 to 1,000-tonne-per-day processing plant to service the needs of local miners and anticipates that future demand may grow well beyond this level.

This groundbreaking initiative involves establishing and operating a processing plant dedicated to refining ore from initially up to 80 mining concessions within the immediate area, which are being granted by the Gramalote project, a gold development endeavour approximately 120 km northeast of Medellin, Antioquia. To date, the Government of Antioquia has announced the formalization of 60 artisanal mining areas into legal mining concessions, which will exclusively supply feedstock to the Coexistence Project’s processing plant. Newlox’s processing plant will provide modern and environmentally friendly processing facilities to the local miners, which are expected to significantly improve the economic, social, and environmental outcomes of artisanal mining.

Newlox has secured the exclusive rights to process all gold-bearing ore produced by the artisanal mining concessionaires granted in the area. In return, the company has pledged a comprehensive social responsibility program, reinvesting 20% of the net, after-tax profit from the plant into a Colombia-focused community development fund. Management at Newlox Gold believes that reinvestment in Colombian mining communities through the development fund will assist in realizing social, environmental, and economic diversification goals while fostering a strong relationship between the Company and local stakeholders.

Newlox Gold will pay US$1,500,000 in upcoming scheduled increments to acquire 100% of the Coexistence Project, including the rights and permits necessary for the processing plant’s operation. Once the processing plant is in operation, Newlox Gold will extend a credit facility of up to $500,000 to the local mining cooperatives to assist with the further development of their mines and help to scale their operations safely and sustainably. The Company also plans to establish an analytical laboratory to assist local mining groups with grade control and operational management.

“In discussions with the community regarding the Coexistence Project, miners have enthusiastically shared their satisfaction with the project’s positive impact on social, environmental, and overall quality of life in the province. With the conclusion of this process that began in 2004, the community is looking forward to the sustained benefits and improvements brought about by the project,” commented Freddy Osvaldo Rodriguez, who served as the mayor of the town from 2016 to 2019. Mr Rodriguez was pivotal in spearheading the formalization process in collaboration with the Gramalote Project, the Antioquia Government, and the Colombian Mines Department.

“We are excited about the Coexistence Project, as it aligns with our strategic goals and reflects our commitment to sustainable and socially responsible business practices. This project is a testament to the positive impact that collaboration and responsible mining can have on communities; our company is working to replicate this model in key sectors of Colombia,” said Jeffrey Benavides, CFO of Newlox Gold Ventures Corporation.

Newlox looks forward to a successful and impactful collaboration, bringing positive change to the community, fostering sustainable development, and setting new benchmarks in responsible business practices.

Newlox Gold Highlights Innovative Non-Toxic Gold Technology

Newlox Gold Highlights Innovative Non-Toxic Gold Technology

Vancouver, BC, 13 November 2023 – Newlox Gold Ventures Corp. (“Newlox” or the “Company”) (CSE: LUX | Frankfurt/Stuttgart: NGO | PINK: NWLXF), is pleased to highlight a recent academic paper written by Pariya Torkaman from the Norman B. Keevil Institute of Mining Engineering, University of British Columbia; Akihiro Yoshimura from the Graduate School of Science and Engineering, Chiba University; Leslie M. Lavkulich from the  Department of Land and Food Systems, University of British Columbia, and Dr. Marcello M. Veiga on the topic of innovative gold-leaching process using a non-toxic organic reagents.

This recent study tested dimethyl sulfoxide, a water-free lixiviant that extracts gold from ores/concentrates in combination with copper halides, on a sample of high-grade gold ore from Colombia with impressive results. The team found that 96.5% of the gold was extracted from the samples in 2 hours at room temperature, a finding that exceeds the control test of a typical cyanidation test, which achieved 97% gold extraction in 24 hours at ambient temperature. Gold dissolved by the new technology was successfully precipitated and recovered, while the reagent could be recycled through a distillation process.

The full paper can be accessed at this link: https://www.mdpi.com/2075-4701/13/11/1855

This recent testing by Pariya Torkaman and her colleagues echoes the encouraging results previously obtained by Newlox Gold using a similar process. The Newlox R&D team has previously achieved excellent gold recoveries of nearly 100% recovery at 80 degrees Celsius and over 90% recovery at ambient temperature during lab testing. Newlox Gold plans to continue to develop this innovative technology. The Company has secured a supply of the necessary reagents and plans to begin in-field testing a similar process which could replace cyanide and mercury in the mining industry.
