Creating Value

In order to succeed as a public company, Newlox creates value for its shareholders and the economy at large. Newlox benefits from low production costs and high grades, allowing the Company to maximize productivity and

• profit. This approach allows

Newlox to generate the raw materials needed for modern life in the most efficient way possible, doing our part to improve our global economy.

Protecting the Environment

While most resource companies take measures to limit the environmental harm caused by their operations, Newlox has started from the ground up to design a resource company that is net- positive in its environmental

• effects. This Company takes

the commitment to future generations seriously, and every day it operates the Earth becomes a cleaner home for us all.

Being Socially Commitment

Newlox has a strong commitment to promoting positive social change in the areas of its operations. The Company not only provides valuable employment in its home communities but provides education and support to the employees, artisanal miners, and the community at large. Elevating the social and educational standard of our communities benefits us all.

Investing in Research

Newlox is built on a strong foundation of research and development working in conjunction with UBC’s Norman B. Keevil’s Institute of Mining Engineering. We believe that innovation in industry can empower us to produce more value while protecting the environment and delivering social benefits to our

• stakeholders. Innovation is at

the center of human progress and Newlox has positioned itself at the cutting-edge in the field of resource production.

Newlox Gold Venture’s Mission and Goals

Artisanal Tailings Remediation Producing Gold with a Positive Environmental Effect

The Company re-processes artisanal tailings to remove contamination while benefitting from the recovery of gold and silver at remarkably low capital and operating costs. Newlox has completed the design & construction of its first 80 tonnes per day processing facility in Costa Rica. Construction is complete, with all significant CAPEX invested, and final ramp-up and optimization is underway. Multiple operations will generate the operational cash flow and support organic growth. Expansion opportunities have been identified in the region with advanced due-diligence in progress. Concept Growth Execution

First Project – Costa Rican Gold Belt Tailings Processing & Metals Recovery

Agreements are in place with all the major local mining cooperatives covering over 30 mining sites, securing a productive continued supply of previously, inefficiently processed gold-bearing materials. The in-house lab continues to test samples from identified historical stockpiles, and the company’s inventory of approved feedstock continues to grow.. 200+ years of artisanal small scale mining has produced large above ground stacks of tailings. Historical and contemporary artisanal mining provides plentiful feedstock that is above Newlox’s 9 g/t gold cut-off.

Newlox works closely with the Norman B. Keevil’s (Chairman Emeritus of Teck Resources) Institute of Mining Engineering at UBC to establish socially and environmentally responsible tailings solutions. Following extensive testing at UBC, Newlox’s first processing facility has been built and is now in commercial operation. The UBC team remain involved in the process and continue to support the Company’s endeavours. “Small mining is beautiful… it can produce faster with less environmental footprint and more social acceptance.”

– Dr. Marcello Veiga of UBC and Senior Technical Advisor to Newlox View Resume here.

Environmental Cleantech Leading Edge Research & Development

Gold recovery requires no crushing and minimal

• grinding. This serves to reduce operating costs

since crushing and grinding are the most expensive processes of mineral processing. Optimization work in the second UBC study successfully increased flotation recovery to 91 per cent gold recovery and in-field recovery is nearing laboratory results.

• Independent assaying done at UBC, METSOLVE, and SGS laboratories to confirm grade and metallurgy.
• Grades seen in testing were significantly above the Company’s 9 gram per tonne gold cut-off.
• XRD Analysis conducted at UBC to identify significant minerals and conduct process design.

• The Company’s first gravity and flotation plant has been constructed in Costa Rica to the UBC

specifications and is producing valuable concentrate while capturing deleterious materials.

• The first 80 tonne per day processing plant is fully built,

and operational, with production ramping-up now.

Low Energy Mercury Recovery System The Company, in association Dr. Luis Sobral of the Brazilian Centre for Mineral Technology (CETEM), is fielding a novel mercury recovery system designed to remove historical pollution from artisanal mining waste when extracting gold.

Key Features Include…

• Fabricated in-house
• Re-usable plates pull mercury from slurry
• Low energy inputs for mercury removal
• Done at ambient temperature
• No dangerous vaporized mercury fumes produced
• Can be operated in-circuit with other mineral

processing equipment

• Does not use chemical reagents

With help from its advisors at UBC, the Newlox team has built a wholly-owned beneficiation facility designed to recover precious metal doré from concentrate while recovering mercury for environmentally responsible disposal.
