Each unit consists of one common share and one common share purchase warrant. Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase one common share of Newlox for a period of up to two years from the date of closing for $0.10. A finder's fee of C$4,000 was paid.
Among the participants in this private placement is Mr. Roger Dent who is CEO of Quinsam Capital Corp., a public company (CSE: QCA).

About Newlox Gold Ventures Corp.
Newlox Gold Ventures Corp. is not a mining company as it does not hold any mineral properties, nor does it conduct exploration or mining activities. It is an environmentally and socially responsible company pursuing precious metal related business opportunities in Latin America.
The Company is working in collaboration with the Norman B. Keevil Institute of Mining Engineering at the University of British Columbia and, with its experienced team in Central America, has established a waste remediation and gold recovery operation, which commenced operations in Q4 2014.
Newlox, through its wholly owned subsidiary, Oro Roca SA, is applying innovative processing technologies to historical tailings to achieve precious metals extraction and soil remediation.
