Mr. Donald Gordon reports
BUSINESS ACQUISITION OF A LATIN AMERICA BASED PRECIOUS METALS TRADING AND PRODUCTION COMPANY
AND INTER-LISTING ON THE FRANKFURT STOCK EXCHANGE
Newlox Gold Ventures Corp. has entered into an agreement to acquire all the shares of
Oro Roca S.A., a Costa Rican-based precious metals trading and production company,
specializing in gold, silver and platinum.
Oro Roca has extensive contacts throughout Latin America, providing Newlox with access to
significant stockpiles of previously inefficiently processed, tailings material, which presents an
opportunity to implement revenue-generating environmental reclamation programs. Such programs are
expected to provide substantial social and environmental benefits to local stakeholders while delivering
operational cash flow from gold recovery.
Consideration consists of 20 million shares as determined by the independent members of the board
supported by a valuation by RWE Growth Partners Inc., an independent chartered business valuation
firm. The acquisition will constitute a significant acquisition and require a business acquisition report
and financial statement filing within 120 days from the effective date of the acquisition expected to be
April 2, 2014.
The company is working with Oro Roca personnel in developing precious-metal-related business
opportunities, in collaboration with the Norman B. Keevil Institute of Mining Engineering at the
University of British Columbia and Professor Marcello Veiga, PEng, PhD, senior technical adviser.
With the help of Professor Veiga's team at the University of British Columbia, Newlox is fielding an
environmental reclamation program to remove contamination left by historical mining operations while
liberating residual precious metals. Extensive analysis is continuing at the University of British Columbia.
Initial bulk sampling is currently under way at Oro Roca's first stockpile, and concentrate production has
commenced.
Heavy metal contamination due to historical and artisanal mining practices is a major concern in Latin
America, and the company is implementing a reclamation program to remove contamination and generate
meaningful cash flow. A number of technologies are currently under review with an emphasis on robust,
low-capex processing approaches.
Donald Gordon, chief executive officer of Newlox Gold Ventures, stated, "We're very pleased to formalize our
relationship with Oro Roca, which complements our research at UBC with immediate access to highly
prospective tailings stockpiles and an experienced operational team in country."
Newlox Gold Ventures' common shares are now interlisted for trading on the Frankfurt Stock
Exchange, under the symbol NGO. The Frankfurt Stock Exchange is the world's third largest (behind
only the Nasdaq Stock Market and the New York Stock Exchange) organized exchange-trading market in
terms of turnover and dealings in securities.
The board of the company believe the Frankfurt listing marks a further step in Newlox's commitment to
its shareholders to enhance the liquidity of the company's common shares and is one of many initiatives
planned to further increase market awareness for the company. Frankfurt-focused investors have an
established interest and expertise in resource sector companies. As well as being a major global financial
centre, Frankfurt has the benefit of being located in the Eurozone, providing European investors with
streamlined access to trade in Newlox.
