Vancouver, BC, 14 April 2022 – Newlox Gold Ventures Corp. (“Newlox” or the “Company”) (CSE: LUX | Frankfurt/Stuttgart: NGO | PINK: NWLXF) is pleased to announce it has received its new ball mill and other critical equipment from suppliers in South America. The ball mill is the most important single piece of equipment for the Company’s new processing plant, and its arrival facilitates the advancement of construction at the Boston expansion project.

The Boston recovery plant is the Company’s second environmentally and socially positive precious metals recovery plant. It will process feedstock newly extracted from the Boston Mine by the Company’s local mining partners. Newlox will operate the new mill at Boston capable of processing 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.

Local miners have continuously operated informal and formal mines in the Central Gold Belt of Costa Rica and the area of the Boston Mine since the early 1900s. Traditional pre-industrial mining and goldsmithing history in the area dates to 400-500 AD. Precious metals production and smithing are an integral part of heritage and traditions for the local groups and continue to be practiced today for both economical and cultural reasons. For the first time since the introduction of the mercury amalgamation process in artisanal gold and silver production, the new Boston plant will achieve zero use of mercury and eliminate its associated environmental damage.

The Newlox Gold construction team have previously reported completion of engineering, permitting, earthmoving, site preparation, and procurement stages of the construction timeline at the Boston Project. In anticipation of the arrival of the ball mill and other critical equipment, pouring of foundations and inertia blocks has been underway to receive the installation of equipment.

Newlox Gold is making steady progress in all its initiatives and remains well funded to complete both Project 1 and the Boston expansion. Management will continue to update the market as we achieve milestones towards our goal of becoming the first ESG-focused medium-sized gold producer.
