Metallurgical Optimization Significantly Increases Gold and Silver Recovery Rates at Processing Facilities
Vancouver - 6 May 2024 - Newlox Gold Ventures Corp. ("Newlox" or the "Company") (CSE: LUX | Frankfurt/Stuttgart: NGO | PINK: NWLXF) a leader in the development and operation of environmentally responsible mineral processing is delighted to announce the favourable outcomes of its metallurgical optimization processes conducted at its Costa Rican Operations. These advancements are poised to seamlessly transition to Newlox's larger second precious metals recovery plant, which is currently in the final stage of commissioning (News Release 17 April 2024). The program, spearheaded by independent metallurgical consultants and subsequently validated by an external laboratory, marks a significant stride forward in Newlox's commitment to operational efficiency and sustainable practices.
Key highlights from the metallurgical advancements include:
-
Achieving consistent gold recovery rates of up to 93% at Project 1, signifying a notable enhancement over historical recovery rates.
-
The adoption of new environmentally friendly chemicals, coupled with enhanced cost-effectiveness, has yielded superior recovery rates and lowered processing costs.
-
The new process has allowed for reduced grinding requirements. This is a pivotal breakthrough that preserves our cost matrix without compromising efficiency or environmental integrity.
Looking forward, Newlox is poised to capitalize on these achievements as we pursue the following milestones and catalysts:
-
Our research endeavours persist as we remain steadfast in our determination to significantly reduce material residency time within the circuit, thereby further enhancing efficiency and driving down costs across all existing and future operations.
-
The main focus of the Plant 1 team currently is to take advantage of improved metallurgical efficiency and reduced operating inputs to deliver strong results over the coming quarters while making plans to commence production at Plant #2 with increased productivity.
The metallurgical optimization forms an integral component of our ongoing continuous improvement program, inaugurated last year. Under the guidance of Newlox Gold's metallurgical Consultant, Eng. José Adán, the program not only introduced innovative processing methods but also imparted comprehensive training to our personnel, ensuring proficiency and efficacy in implementation. With these transformative advancements, Newlox Gold Ventures Corp. is steadfast in its commitment to revolutionizing the precious metals recovery industry and setting new benchmarks both environmentally and economically.
"These changes are expected to deliver significant production improvements in the near term, which should be compounded by favourable gold prices and will lead to increased revenue and profitability. What's more, the processes are immediately transferrable to Plant 2 (the Boston Project), where commercial operations are expected to start at the end of commissioning," commented Ryan Jackson, CEO of Newlox Gold Ventures Corp..
