Newlox Implements Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy Technology

 Vancouver, BC, 13 August 13, 2018  Newlox Gold Ventures Corp. (“Newlox” or the “Company”) (CSE: LUX | Frankfurt: NGO) is pleased to announce the implementation of atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) technology at the Company’s cutting-edge field laboratory. 

AAS is a spectroanalytical procedure that measures the concentration of elements in a solution using the wavelengths of light specifically absorbed by each element when vaporized in a high-temperature environment. The technique is so sensitive that it can measure the concentration of elements down to the parts per billion of a gram in a sample.

The addition of AAS 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. AAS can simultaneously analyze for multiple elements of interest, a capability which will be especially valuable for the Company’s environmental reclamation and precious metals recovery project. 

The engineering team at Newlox identified AAS as a crucial first step for the Company’s lab because it is not available as a service at local third-party laboratories. At present, the Company will continue to rely on local third-party laboratories for gold confirmation assays using the Fire Assay technique. This capability will also be brought in-house in the near future. 

Ryan Jackson, President of Newlox Gold comments: “The addition of AAS equipment at the processing plant is allowing for rapid cycles of testing and optimization. Liquid samples can now be taken from various stages of the processing plant and analyzed rapidly at our lab.”

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.
