Vancouver, BC – TheNewswire - 29 April 2021 – Newlox Gold Ventures Corp. (“Newlox” or the “Company”) (CSE:LUX | Frankfurt/Stuttgart: NGO | OTC:NWLXF) is pleased to announce that the Company has made significant progress in the construction of its Boston Processing Facility (Plant 2). Since announcing the start of construction at Boston last month, Newlox Gold has acquired crushing, milling, and precious metals recovery equipment, much of which is now on the new processing plant site.  

Newlox designed this mill with the capability of processing 150 tonnes per day of mineralized material grading approximately 15 grams gold per tonne. At full scale, Boston is expected to be capable of recovering approximately 20,000 ounces of gold per year, as well as a significant quantity of silver.  

Construction at Boston is proceeding according to plan with completion anticipated within approximately two months. This phase will be followed by commissioning, testing, and commercialization. Newlox Gold is undertaking an expedited construction and commissioning schedule at Plant 2, which is made possible by its fully-permitted status and its proximity to the artisanal mining operations, as well as the experience of Newlox Gold’s engineering and fabrication team.

Boston is built upon a wealth of historical exploration and mining data. Newlox’s operations team has worked closely with the Company’s local mining partners in both planning and development work, facilitating the expedited start of construction. As part of this process, the local groups are actively reconditioning the Boston Mine adits (tunnels) in anticipation of enhanced mineral processing without the need for mercury. The refurbishing of the Boston Mine is part of a greater effort by local artisanal mining groups to improve productivity through collaboration with Newlox Gold.

This partner mining approach creates a coexistence model for artisanal mining, seeking to uplift local miners by providing access to modern and efficient processing technologies while maintaining cultural and economic traditions. Partner mining will not only improve local economic conditions but will also notably remove the unhealthy legacy of mercury-based processing techniques, which result in both negative human and environmental consequences.

As previously announced Newlox secured a net revenue-sharing agreement with an established artisanal mining syndicate with which management has a multi-year association. Net revenues after all production costs will be split 50/50 between the miners and Newlox. Newlox will have zero mining costs as a result of this arrangement. The Company expects the Boston Project to contribute significantly to Newlox’s near-term growth. By selecting small-scale projects with low capital requirements and expedited development timelines, the Company plans to grow aggressively in Latin America to encompass multiple projects. Boston will become a model for the artisanal mining sector.

A Message from Ryan Jackson, President & CEO:

“We are delighted to report that construction at the Boston Project is proceeding according to plan. The project will provide local mining groups with access to modern mineral processing technology. It will empower local miners to enhance their economic, social, and environmental circumstances while advancing our Company’s growth strategy.

Newlox Gold has raised sufficient capital to fund its 2021 initiatives and remains on a solid footing to achieve its goals. This year will be a monumental one for Newlox Gold. We are completing the ramp-up of operations at the first processing plant as well as establishing our vision for organic growth through the deployment of additional artisanal mining focused facilities.”
