Newlox Gold Venture’s Mission and Goals Creating Value Protecting the Environment Being Socially Commitment Investing in Research In order to succeed as a While most resource Newlox has a strong Newlox is built on a strong public company, Newlox companies take measures to commitment to promoting foundation of research and creates value for its limit the environmental harm positive social change in the development working in shareholders and the caused by their operations, areas of its operations. The conjunction with UBC’s economy at large. Newlox Newlox has started from the Company not only provides Norman B. Keevil’s Institute of benefits from low production ground up to design a valuable employment in its Mining Engineering. We believe costs and high grades, resource company that is net- home communities but that innovation in industry can allowing the Company to positive in its environmental provides education and empower us to produce more maximize productivity and effects. This Company takes support to the employees, value while protecting the profit. This approach allows the commitment to future artisanal miners, and the environment and delivering Newlox to generate the raw generations seriously, and community at large.

Innovation is at life in the most efficient way Earth becomes a cleaner standard of our communities the center of human progress possible, doing our part to home for us all. benefits us all. and Newlox has positioned improve our global economy. itself at the cutting-edge in the field of resource production. 4/3/2020 PAGE 3
Artisanal Tailings Remediation Producing Gold with a Positive Environmental Effect The Company re-processes artisanal tailings to remove Concept contamination while benefitting from the recovery of gold and silver at remarkably low capital and operating costs. Newlox has completed the design & construction of its first 80 Execution tonnes per day processing facility in Costa Rica. Construction is complete, with all significant CAPEX invested, and final ramp-up and optimization is underway. Multiple operations will generate the operational cash flow and Growth support organic growth. Expansion opportunities have been identified in the region with advanced due-diligence in progress. 4/3/2020 PAGE 4
First Projects – Costa Rican Gold Belt “Costa Rica – The Switzerland of Latin America” Located in the historically prolific Costa Rican Gold Belts Key Attributes • Newlox is the only foreign precious metals company operating in Costa Rica. • An uninterrupted democracy since 1948 and the most politically stable country in the region. • Ranked #1 in Central America for Freedom by the Fraser Institute (2019). • Identified by the Financial Times FDI Group as a leading destination for foreign direct investment in the region (2015/2016). • No standing army, high literacy, universal healthcare and a skilled workforce. • Established government and legal frameworks which adhere to the rule of law, including property rights. 4/3/2020 PAGE 5
First Project – Costa Rican Gold Belt Tailings Processing & Metals Recovery Agreements are in place with all the major local mining cooperatives covering over 30 mining sites , securing a productive continued supply of previously, inefficiently processed gold-bearing materials. The in-house lab continues to test samples from identified historical stockpiles, and the company’s inventory of approved feedstock continues to grow.. 200+ years of artisanal small scale mining has produced large above ground stacks of tailings. Historical and contemporary artisanal mining provides plentiful feedstock that is above Workers Loading Tailings Material Material Awaiting Reclamation Newlox’s 9 g/t gold cut -off . 4/3/2020 PAGE 6
Environmental Cleantech Leading Edge Research & Development Newlox works closely with the Norman B. Keevil’s (Chairman Emeritus of Teck Resources) Institute of Mining Engineering at UBC to establish socially and environmentally responsible tailings solutions. Following extensive testing at UBC, Newlox’s first processing facility has been built and is now in commercial operation. The UBC team remain involved in the process and continue to support the Company’s endeavours. “Small mining is beautiful… it can produce faster with less environmental footprint and more social acceptance.” – Dr. Marcello Veiga of UBC and Senior Technical Advisor to Newlox View Resume here. 4/3/2020 PAGE 7
Environmental Cleantech Leading Edge Research & Development Gold recovery requires no crushing and minimal grinding. This serves to reduce operating costs since crushing and grinding are the most expensive processes of mineral processing. Optimization work in the second UBC study successfully increased flotation recovery to 91 per cent gold recovery and in-field recovery is nearing laboratory results. UBC Report: Goncalves et al. (2014) PAGE 8
Environmental Cleantech Two-Stage R&D Program Completed • Independent assaying done at UBC, METSOLVE, and SGS laboratories to confirm grade and metallurgy. • Grades seen in testing were significantly above the Company’s 9 gram per tonne gold cut-off. • XRD Analysis conducted at UBC to identify significant minerals and conduct process design. 4/3/2020 PAGE 9
Environmental Cleantech Tailings Remediation Facility • The Company’s first gravity and flotation plant has been constructed in Costa Rica to the UBC specifications and is producing valuable concentrate while capturing deleterious materials. • The first 80 tonne per day processing plant is fully built, and operational, with production ramping-up now.
