NEWLOX Gold Ventures Corp.

Newlox Gold Ventures Corp. is an environmental remediation company recovering contaminants and
residual precious metals from historical waste left behind over more than a century of inefficient artisanal
and small-scale mining in Latin America. This approach eliminates the conventional, time and capital
intensive, processes of exploration and mining.

Newlox is collaborating with the Norman B. Keevil Institute of Mining Engineering at the University of
British Columbia and is poised to achieve highly satisfactory results as it commissions its first concentrate
plant and beneficiation facility.

Success at the first plant will be followed by expansion in other targeted jurisdictions. The longer-term
objective of Newlox is to establish a dividend paying enterprise allowing shareholders to participate in
equity growth and share in profits while improving environmental standards and setting a high standard of
social responsibility.
