Newlox Gold Ventures's Partners Begin Mining the Historic Boston Mine, Costa Rica

The recovery plant at the Boston Project is the Company's second environmentally and socially positive precious metals recovery plant. It will process feedstock newly extracted from the Boston Mine by the Company's local mining partners. Newlox will operate the new mill at Boston capable of processing 150 tonnes per day of material grading +- 15 grams per tonne gold with an anticipated gold recovery of 90%. All feedstock is to be provided by Newlox's mining partners, with profits to be split evenly between the parties.

The joint project benefits both parties, as Newlox will outsource all mining to its local partners while providing them with modern, environmentally sustainable, and effective mercury-free mineral processing. The Boston project is fully permitted under existing mining codes, inclusive of the use of necessary chemicals utilized in the gold and silver recovery process, while eliminating the use of mercury.

While construction at Boston was delayed in 2021 due to the pandemic and the associated global supply chain disruptions, excellent progress is now being made, with the operations team expected to complete construction, testing, and commissioning before the end of the year.

Throughout the summer of 2021, the Company's local mining partners have refurbished the Boston Mine. The Company has assisted the rehabilitation effort by making available its in-house laboratory to test samples taken in collaboration with the miners from the Boston Mine as they evaluate areas for initial exploitation. Grab samples collected recently as part of the rehabilitation effort returned results as high as 77.1 grams per tonne gold.

Availability of Newlox Gold's in-house analytical laboratory has assisted the local miners to confirm the location of high-grade mineralization in the historic Boston Mine and has assisted them to mine and establish a stockpile of quality mill feed for the new processing plant.

A Message from Ryan Jackson, President & CEO:

"We are delighted to announce that the Company's mining partners at the Boston Project have completed the refurbishment of the first level at the Mine and are now actively producing feedstock for our joint project. Access to Newlox's in-house lab has provided the Company's partners with high-quality data to support their mining plan and will enhance their demonstrated ability to identify and mine quality feedstock.

With advancing construction at the Boston Processing Plant, we look forward to testing and optimization with an established stockpile of quality mill feedstock, which will precede full scale operation next year.

The 'Coexistence Model of Artisanal Mining' promoted by Dr. Marcello Veiga to the United Nations PlanetGOLD Initiative as a sustainable solution to the issue of artisanal mining, is superbly illustrated by Newlox's providing a modern and environmentally friendly processing option to local miners at the Boston Mine.

Precious metals are an integral part of heritage and traditions around the world and persist today to be mined for both economic and cultural reasons. Now, impressively for this area, for the first time since the ancient introduction of the mercury amalgamation process, artisanal gold and silver will be recovered without the use of mercury and its associated environmental damage.

We are proud to be working partners with the local miners at Boston with whom management has established a strong bond. The Project will contribute substantially to the Company's near-term growth while both supporting the local economy's sustainable development goals and solving a decades-old environmental and social dilemma for the benefit of all stakeholders."

Outlook

Newlox Gold has both a robust treasury, and an experienced technical team which has implemented numerous strategies to overcome supply chain challenges at operations. Our team is completing the ramp-up of Project 1 (our operational tailings remediation project), which is already cash-flow positive and improving each month. The team will complete the construction and commissioning of the Boston Project and will then be positioned to support both our regional growth strategy in Central America, and our recently announced planned expansion in Brazil.
