About Newlox Gold Ventures Corp.

Newlox Gold Ventures Corp. is focused on recovering both contaminants and residual precious metals from historical waste remaining from a century of inefficient artisanal and small-scale mining in politically and socially stable jurisdictions in Latin America. The Company, guided by its advisors, has designed remediation technologies to recover deleterious materials remaining from historical artisanal mining practices and is deploying these systems in the field as part of the commissioning process.

Newlox has agreements with local artisanal mining cooperatives to provide a steady supply of feedstock and is currently commissioning its first processing plant in Central America under the supervision of the Company's experienced engineers and metallurgists. With hundreds of years of mining history in Latin America and inefficient artisanal processing continuing to this day, the Company believes that there is a compelling opportunity to expand its business model. Newlox has identified a niche within the extractive industry where a clean-technology company can apply innovative processing techniques to not only recover precious metals but also effect positive change in the environmental and social landscape in its targeted jurisdictions of operations.
