Newlox Gold Ventures Corp. announce the start of in-field testing of its novel non-toxic gold recovery technology, designated Organic Aqua Regia (OAR). This initial round of in-field testing builds upon excellent results received from Stage 1 laboratory testing. Gold dissolution exceeded 99% efficacy in Stage 1 and Stage 2 laboratory testing is ongoing. A shipment of OAR reagents from a US-based manufacturer was recently received by the Company's operations team in Costa Rica. This large-volume shipment will be sufficient to support both ongoing research at the Company's in-field laboratory, as well as expanded testing beyond the lab at the processing plant. The Company is most encouraged by results to date and is continuing to investigate the use of OAR technology as a non-toxic and water-free alternative to cyanidation for the recovery of gold, silver, and other precious metals. The multiple outstanding advantages of OAR include that it is non-toxic, recyclable, extracts gold faster than cyanide, does not use water, and recovers gold with neither carbon
nor electrowinning.
