Operations Benefit from 98% Renewable Electricity Vancouver, BC - TheNewswire - 4 November 2021 - Newlox Gold Ventures Corp. (“Newlox” or the “Company”) (CNSX:LUX.CN)(Frankfurt/Stuttgart: NGO)(OTC:NWLXF) is pleased to announce that the Company’s processing plants have been approved for a major electrical upgrade by the Costa Rican national power company. Both Plant 1 and the upcoming Boston Project will benefit from connection to Costa Rica’s high-tension three-phase electrical system. Significantly more efficient operations and cost savings are anticipated.
Newlox Gold has always benefited from Costa Rica’s robust infrastructure. The upgraded electrical service offered to the Company’s processing plants will assist our goal of delivering low operational costs.
In addition to the economic benefits of the new service, Newlox is pleased to report that Costa Rica has, for the seventh consecutive year, achieved 98% renewable energy in its electrical grid.
Recent analysis indicates that Costa Rica generates 73.39% of its energy from hydropower, 13.84% from geothermal sources, 12.12% from wind and 0.63% from biomass and solar panels. Minister of the Environment and Energy Carlos Manuel Rodrguez adds that Costa Rica intends to continue to advance renewable energy development through modernization of the country’s infrastructure, including the transportation, waste, cattle, agriculture, construction and cargo industries.
A Message from Ryan Jackson, President & CEO:
“We are delighted to report that our projects in Costa Rica will soon be linked to the country’s high-tension three-phase electrical system designed for industrial operations. Connection to this system will increase efficiency and reduce power consumption at Newlox’s facilities, supporting the Company’s ESG goals.
What’s more, because the Costa Rican power grid is supplied with 98% renewable energy, Newlox’s processing plants are also run on 98% renewable electricity. Costa Rica’s green power grid, a major benefit of operating in the country, substantially enhances Newlox Gold’s ESG focus.
We can not only operate more efficiently because of the upgraded electrical infrastructure but the vast majority of the electricity we use will be generated from renewable sources.”
