inclusive of the US$50,000.00 Private Placement announced on June 16, 2017, the investor will receive a 15% Gross Revenue
Royalty on the Company’s first processing plant until the investor has received royalties totalling

one or more of the Company’s future projects, the Company will be free to pursue funding from other parties for those
projects.
-

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.
This novel approach, developed 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”). Not having to undertake
exploration work or mining, combined with dramatically reduced processing cost due to previous crushing and grinding, should result
in a significantly reduced operating cost for the Company. Newlox also expects to benefit from the high grades, which are
characteristic of artisanal mine tailings due to the inefficient processing techniques used by the original miners.
The Company, with the guidance of its advisors at UBC, has also identified remediation technologies designed to
recover deleterious materials present due to historical artisanal mining practices and will be deploying these systems in the field
as part of the commissioning process.
Newlox has signed agreements with local artisanal mining cooperatives to provide a steady supply of feedstock
as well as built and tested its first processing plant in Central America. Under the supervision of the
Company’s experienced engineer and metallurgist, the Company is currently conducting optimisation and
commissioning work at the processing plant with the intention of entering steady-state operations during the second half of
2017.
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 grow 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.
