Vancouver, BC - TheNewswire - 8 October 2019 - Newlox Gold Ventures Corp. ("Newlox" or the "Company") (CNSX:LUX.CN) (Frankfurt:NGO) is pleased to mark the fourth consecutive month of commercial operations at the Company's first environmental remediation and precious metals production facility in Central America.

Since the
commencement of commercial operations in June of 2019, Newlox has been producing and selling precious metals while installing upgrades to the plant with the intention to increase productivity and efficiency. The focus is now on improving daily throughput volume and optimizing tailings environmental remediation and gold recovery.

September marked the commissioning of a higher-capacity smelting furnace, both designed and built in-house. The period also saw significant improvements to material handling and tank capacity.

The Company's in-house atomic absorption and fire assay analytical laboratory has been running continuously over the past month, testing artisanal tailings stockpiles. This testing has allowed the Newlox's team to manage operations and prioritize feedstock based on precious metals content. An inventory of high-grade feedstock has been established at the processing plant to support ongoing steady-state operations.

Recent News

The Company completed pre-production activities at the plant by May 27, 2019.

Since then, Newlox has established steady-state operations as announced on July 9, 2019. This production is a major milestone for the Company.

Pouring of gold dore has become a regular procedure for the Company, and management commends the operations team on their hard work and dedication. Newlox has posted a video demonstrating one of the many pours during the summer.

The Company looks forward to continuing its successful environmental remediation and gold recovery program.

About Newlox Gold Ventures Corp.

Newlox Gold Ventures Corp. is an environmental remediation company recovering contaminants and residual precious metals from historical waste left behind over more than a century of inefficient artisanal and small-scale mining in politically and socially stable jurisdictions in Latin America.

The Newlox environmentally and socially responsible business model has been deployed after extensive experience in the region and with the help of the Company's technical advisors at the Norman B. Keevil Institute of Mining Engineering at the University of British Columbia ("UBC") which, provides the Company with unique advantages, such as not having to undertake exploration work or mining, resulting in dramatically reduced overall costs.

Newlox also benefits from the high grades characteristic of artisanal mine tailings due to the inefficient processing techniques used by the original miners.

With the guidance of its advisors at UBC, the Company has also identified important remediation technologies designed to recover deleterious materials present due to historical artisanal mining practices and is deploying these systems in the field as part of the commissioning process.

Newlox has signed agreements with local artisanal mining cooperatives to provide both a steady supply of historical tailings and a newly created feedstock for its first fully operational processing plant in Central America.

With hundreds of years of mining history in Latin America and inefficient artisanal processing continuing to this day, the Company has identified and secured a compelling opportunity to grow its business model. Newlox has identified a niche within the extractive industry where a clean-technology company can apply innovative processing techniques to recover not only precious metals but also effect positive change in the environmental and social landscape in its targeted jurisdictions of operations.
