Newlox Gold Ventures Corp. Highlights Innovative Non-Toxic Gold Technology
Vancouver, 13 November 2023 - Newlox Gold Ventures Corp. ("Newlox" or the "Company") (CSE:LUX) | (Frankfurt/Stuttgart:NGO) | (OTC:NWLXF) is pleased to highlight a recent academic paper written by Pariya Torkaman from the Norman B. Keevil Institute of Mining Engineering, University of British Columbia; Akihiro Yoshimura from the Graduate School of Science and Engineering, Chiba University; Leslie M. Lavkulich from the Department of Land and Food Systems, University of British Columbia, and Dr. Marcello M. Veiga on the topic of innovative gold-leaching process using a non-toxic organic reagents. This recent study tested dimethyl sulfoxide, a water-free lixiviant that extracts gold from ores/concentrates in combination with copper halides, on a sample of high-grade gold ore from Colombia with impressive results. The team found that 96.5% of the gold was extracted from the samples in 2 hours at room temperature, a finding that exceeds the control test of a typical cyanidation test, which achieved 97% gold extraction in 24 hours at ambient temperature. Gold dissolved by the new technology was successfully precipitated and recovered, while the reagent could be recycled through a distillation process.

This recent testing by Pariya Torkaman and her colleagues echoes the encouraging results previously obtained by Newlox Gold using a similar process. The Newlox R&D team has previously achieved excellent gold recoveries of nearly 100% recovery at 80 degrees Celsius and over 90% recovery at ambient temperature during lab testing. Newlox Gold plans to continue to develop this innovative technology. The Company has secured a supply of the necessary reagents and plans to begin in-field testing a similar process which could replace cyanide and mercury in the mining industry.
