Vancouver, BC, September 19, 2018 – Newlox Gold Ventures Corp. (“Newlox” or the “Company”) (CSE: LUX | Frankfurt: NGO) is pleased to announce commissioning of an in-house fire assay laboratory at the Company’s environmental reclamation and precious metals recovery project, Central America. This new fire assay capability at the Newlox cutting-edge field laboratory complements the atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) technology implemented in August. 

The addition of fire assay capability at the Company’s in-house analytical laboratory allows for real-time analysis of samples from the processing plant and supports the Company’s engineering team as they continue to optimize operations. Fire assays will allow for real-time analysis of solid samples including feedstock, concentrates, and tailings for maximum control over the Company’s processing operations.

Ryan Jackson, President of Newlox Gold comments: “The addition of fire assay technology to the Company’s, already operational, atomic absorption spectroscopy laboratory brings all of Newlox’s required assay capabilities in-house. Newlox’s operations team will now benefit from real-time data as they complete the final optimization and commercialization of the Company’s first environmental reclamation and precious metals recovery project.” 

Fire assaying is an analytical technique in which a metal or metals are separated from impurities by fusion processes and weighed in order to determine the amount present in the original sample. Metals tested by fire assay are recovered from the fusion of the material in an assay furnace, for gold, usually at temperatures of over 1,000 degrees Celsius. This process is widely regarded as the the most reliable method to determine the metal content of ores that contain precious metals such as gold, silver and platinum.

About Newlox Gold Ventures Corp.
Newlox Gold Ventures Corp. recovers both residual precious metals and contaminants from historical waste accumulated from more than a century of inefficient artisanal and small-scale mining in politically and socially stable jurisdictions. 

Agreements with local artisanal mining cooperatives provide steady supplies of feedstock for the Company’s first processing plant in Central America. Hundreds of years of mining history in Latin America and current inefficient artisanal processing ensure ample opportunities for the Company to grow its business model. 

Newlox occupies a pioneering niche within the extractive industry where it can apply innovative processing techniques to not only recover precious metals but also to effect positive change in the environmental and social landscape through its operations.
