Newlox Gold Moves Towards Definitive Agreement in Brazil
Newlox Gold Ventures Corp. (“Newlox” or the “Company”) (C NSX : LU X.CN ) ( Frankfurt/Stuttgart: NGO ) (OTC : NWLXF ) is pleased to announce that its planned expansion into gold recovery in Brazil, comparable to its established operations in Costa Rica, has advanced through initial due diligence and underlying legal organization.
The initiative has also been greatly enhanced by the news that the Research Center for Responsible Mining of the Polytechnic School of the University of São Paulo ( NAP.Mineração/USP ) has received expanded World Bank funding for its ASGM – Coexistence in Brazil Project being undertaken in partnership with the Brazilian Cooperative Organization, various artisanal mining cooperatives, the University of British Columbia, and Newlox Gold ( Portuguese news release here ).
Newlox Gold, as announced on June 16, 2021 , has been working in partnership with NAP.Mineração/USP, the centre for small-scale responsible mining at the University of São Paulo, Brazil. This centre supports dissemination of responsible mining practices to artisanal and small-scale mining operations through applied research, training and education. The actions of NAP.Mineracao/USP foster responsible and integrated management of mineral exploration, mine development, mining, rehabilitation, governance, and sustainable development within the artisanal mining sector.
The objective is to “prepare miners for the long term by establishing safer and more efficient mining models and disseminating mercury-free gold recovery techniques, practices and principles of health and safety, ESG, economic management and gender equality”, commented Professor Giorgio De Tomi, the director of NAP.Mineração/USP and Newlox Gold’s head of Brazilian Operations.
The fostering of partnerships between artisanal miners and private companies is a vital part of SGM-Coexistence in Brazil initiative. Newlox Gold has been presented to the Brazilian artisanal sector as an example of a company implementing mutually beneficial business models for improving the economic, social, and environmental impacts of artisanal mining for all stakeholders. This is illustrated by Newlox having developed successful partnerships with local miners in Costa Rica.
Two attractive artisanal mining projects in Brazil have emerged from the Company’s due-diligence work over the fall. One of these provides a natural beachhead for Newlox Gold to expand into this vast and exciting market. The Company is working with its local partners with whom it has established close relationships. Newlox Gold looks forward to starting construction on its third project, and first in Brazil, next year.
“Over the fall, we completed our initial due diligence work and identified a project in Brazil as an obvious starting point in the country. Recently, several legal and regulatory prerequisites have been successfully completed, allowing the Company to move into the final stages toward signing a definitive agreement.”
“The Brazilian mining industry is several orders of magnitude larger than our operations in Costa Rica, representing a massive opportunity for the growth of Newlox Gold,” commented CEO Ryan Jackson.

Granada Gold Mine Prepares to Extract Bulk Sample on Extension of High-Grade Zone on Mining Lease BM 813 in 2022
Granada Gold Mine Inc. (TSXV:GGM) (OTC:GBBFF) (Frankfurt:B6D) (the “Company” or “Granada”) is pleased to announce that it has initiated stripping of overburden and block sorting of historical broken mineralized material on mining lease BM 813 as part of its ongoing work to assess the grade on the structure East of former open pit #1.
Based on high-grade drill results, both down-dip within the structure and across the structure (see Press Release September 7, 2021 for detailed assay results), the company initiated the sorting and relocation of broken, mineralized material on mining lease BM 813 in September 2021. This work should enable extraction and sampling of the mineralized structures which links to the structure on the mining lease BM 852 where a previous bulk sample was taken 250m to the East (see Press Release June 16, 2021).
The ongoing stripping is expected to continue until the area is free of overburden. The second phase, consisting of cleaning the surface with a smaller excavator, will follow in spring to early summer of 2022.
Granada President and CEO Frank J. Basa, P.Eng., states: “The company is working on multiple fronts to enable development of its Granada asset. A portion of 500 tonnes of the mineralized material blasted on lease BM 852 has been shipped to the TTL laboratory in Cobalt, Ontario to assess the free gold content and the grade of the mineralization. This should allow the company to make comparisons to the adjacent drill results and the latest Mineral Resource block model from SGS Geostat. We are looking forward to having preliminary results from that extraction. The company will do the same for the structure on lease BM 813 in 2022”.
Location
The Granada Gold project is located in an established mining district 5 km south of Rouyn-Noranda adjacent to the prolific Cadillac Break shear zone, which is hosted in Pontiac metasedimentary rocks, granites, and younger syenite sills along the Granada shear zone (LONG Bars Zone). The project is located on the same side of the Cadillac Fault as the Canadian Malartic mine property, which has historically produced 12.7 million Ounces of gold from 1935 to 2010 with an additional 5 million ounces as of June 18, 2020 (Canadian Malartic Technical Report of March 25, 2021 & Le Citoyen June 19, 2020).

About Granada Gold Mine Inc.
Granada Gold Mine Inc. continues to develop and explore its 100% owned Granada Gold Property near Rouyn-Noranda, Quebec, and is adjacent to the prolific Cadillac Break. The Company owns 14.73 square kilometers of land in a combination of mining leases and claims. The company is currently undergoing a large drill program with 30,000m out of 120,000m complete. The drills are currently paused to provide the technical team with the necessary time to evaluate and assimilate existing data.
The Granada Shear Zone and the South Shear Zone contain, based on historical detailed mapping as well as from current and historical drilling, up to twenty-two mineralized structures trending east-west over five and a half kilometers. Three of these structures were mined historically from four shafts and three open pits. Historical underground grades were 8 to 10 grams per tonne gold from two shafts down to 236 m and 498 m with open pit grades from 3.5 to 5 grams per tonne gold.
The property includes the former Granada Gold underground mine which produced more than 50,000 ounces of gold at 10 grams per tonne gold in the 1930’s from two shafts before a fire destroyed the surface buildings. In the 1990’s, Granada Resources extracted a bulk sample (Pit #1) of 87,311 tonnes grading 5.17 g/t Au. They also extracted a bulk sample (Pit # 2) of 22,095 tonnes grading 3.46 g/t Au.

Granada Gold Intersects 5.5 g/t Au Over 6 Meters Including 31.3 g/t Au Over 1 Meter During Infill Drilling
Granada Gold Mine Inc. (TSXV:GGM) (OTC:GBBFF) (Frankfurt:B6D) (the “Company” or “Granada”) is pleased to announce additional results from its on-going drill program at its Granada Gold project with multiple new gold assays from its GR-21-22, GR-21-23, GR-21-24 and GR-21-25 drill holes with grades up to 31.30 g/t over 1.00m, 11.70 g/t over 1.00m, and 10.05 g/t over 0.50m.
Drilling Highlights
- Drill holes GR-21-22, GR-21-23, GR-21-24 and GR-21-25 were designed to confirm the presence of gold mineralization at shallow depth.
- The drill holes were aimed to fill gaps in the SGS mineral resources envelopes, with the potential of increasing the tonnage of the high-grade, open-pit resource grade of 2 grams per tonne gold.
- GR-21-22 intersected
- 1.25g/t Au over 7.75m
- GR-21-23 intersected
- 5.54 g/t Au over 6.00m, including 31.30 g/t Au over 1.00m
- GR-21-24 intersected
- 0.78g/t Au over 11.70m, including 5.40 g/t Au over 0.60m
- GR-21- 25 intersected
- 1.14 g/t Au over 5.1m, including 10.05 g/t Au over 0.50m
“The assay results from these drill holes prove the continuity of mineralization along the main Granada central structure. Also, the 30,000-meter drill program we conducted over the past year has confirmed that the average assays of the down-dip results of the mineralized structure are consistently higher than the previous perpendicular-to-structure drill results. The company is planning another bulk sample similar in size as the previous one taken to get a better understanding of the correlation to drill data results. We expect the bulk sample results to give a more representative grade of the mineralized vein zone,” commented Frank J. Basa, P.Eng., President and CEO.
A 500-tonne bulk sample of mineralized material was taken in the fall of 2020 (Press Release June 16, 2021) based on drill holes GR-19-A, -B and -C. The processing of this bulk sample is progressing well at Temiskaming Testing Labs, in Ontario, Canada. To date, 400 tonnes have been processed with the remaining 100 tonnes to be processed by the first quarter of 2022. Visible gold has been encountered during processing. The previous sample of 1,220 kilograms returned 55.6 grams per tonne of physical gold (Press Release August 11, 2020). The company is targeting a minimum open-pit resource grade of 2 grams per tonne.

Glen Eagle is successfully ramping up operations in Honduras
Glen Eagle Resources, (TSX V :GER) (OTC:GERFF) ( “ Glen Eagle ” the “ Company”, or “ GER ”) is pleased to announce that the ramp-up operation has progressed very successfully throughout the month of October at Cobra Oro gold processing plant in Honduras according to Karl Trudeau, Glen Eagle newly elected COO.
Recovery results for gold were 88.99% and 67.55% for silver , allowing the Company to nearly cover its operation cost despite a GPT of 1.93 g/Au per ton, demonstrating to our shareholders that the ramp up plan is working well despite processing low grade ore with limited throughput in October, which has been offset by improved efficiency at all level of Cobra Oro operations. Feed grade in November had already increased to approximately 3.7 g/Au per ton with continued focus in ramping up Cobra’s operations and working to develop joint venture agreements with local concession owners currently working with the Company.
The drilling results announced last week with both drill holes LE-21-002 intersecting on surface 3.04 g/Au over 30.8 meters and drill hole LE-21-001 returning 6.04 g/t Au over 8.2 meters, the Company can expect GPT to increase significantly, allowing Cobra Oro to become cash flow positive in the very near term.

Newlox Gold Update & Quarterly Financials
Newlox Gold Ventures Corp. (“Newlox” or the “Company”) (C NSX : LU X.CN ) ( Frankfurt/Stuttgart: NGO ) (OTC : NWLXF ) is pleased to announce it has filed its quarterly unaudited financial statements and management discussion and analysis on SEDAR ( www.sedar.com ), and to provide an update on operations.
During the period, the Company has been ramping-up operations at its first ESG-focused artisanal tailings remediation and precious metals recovery plant (Plant 1) while also undertaking the construction of its second processing plant, the Boston Project. Newlox Gold is pleased with progress at both projects and is in a strong cash position with growing quarterly earnings.
At Plant 1, revenues have increased each month in 2021 as throughput and productivity continue to advance towards the Company’s goals. However, growing monthly productivity has not accelerated as quickly as management intended. Slower than targeted growth has primarily resulted from supply chain interruptions, which have not allowed the operations team to fully implement operational circuit adjustments inherent to the ramp-up process as quickly as would usually be possible.
The processing plant has operated at a throughput level as high as 50 tonnes per day, representing a significant increase from previous operations. However, the processing plant’s efficiency decreased at that level of throughout, requiring some adjustments to the milling procedure and changes to reagent types.
After considerable analysis, the Company’s engineers have developed new procedures to maintain efficiency at higher levels of throughput, but the availability of the necessary supplies has slowed implementation. Typical reagent suppliers in Asia have not adequately supplied the domestic market in Central America. The Company has now successfully found alternate sources of the required reagents in South America.
Although throughput growth at Plant 1 has progressed slower than expected, the operations team has made consistent monthly progress this year and operations management remain confident they will achieve the Company’s goals. Plant 1 will process 80 tonnes per day of artisanal tailings feedstock at base-case full-scale, with gold recovery expected to exceed 6,500 ounces per year.
At the Boston Project, the Company has navigated the hurdles of the pandemic and the associated global supply chain disruptions to procure the crushing infrastructure, conveyor systems, and a large ball mill. Construction activities have accelerated since the end of the wet season in November, and Company’s construction contractors anticipate project completion at approximately the end of the year.
Newlox plans to operate the new Boston mill at 150 tonnes per day with a feed grade of +- 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 Boston Project is expected to significantly contribute to the Company’s growing productivity in 2022.
In Brazil, the Company continues to make progress on its planned expansion following the successful application of recovery and rehabilitation procedures in Costa Rica. Further information on Newlox Gold’s regional growth strategy will be provided in upcoming news releases.

Canada Silver Cobalt Intersects Massive Sulphides with XRF Results up to 2.79% Nickel and 25.68% Copper at Graal Property in Northern Quebec
Canada Silver Cobalt Works Inc. (TSXV:CCW) (OTC:CCWOF) (Frankfurt: 4T9B) (the “Company” or “Canada Silver Cobalt”) is pleased to announce that it has intercepted massive sulphides containing nickel and copper at its Graal property in the Lac St-Jean region of Quebec. The mineralization has been verified with a handheld XRF device with point data taken on the sulphides ranging up to 2.79% Ni and 25.68% Cu.
The XRF results confirm the existence of strong nickel-copper-sulphide mineralization that corresponds to the Bouguer anomaly identified using airborne gravity geophysical survey conducted earlier this year. Drilling to follow up this newly discovered mineralization is underway. The samples were sent to ALS labs located in Val d’Or for sample preparation and will be forwarded to a separate lab for a four-acid digest multi-element suite including nickel and copper as well as a fire assay for platinum and palladium.
The ongoing drill program has now been increased from 3000 to 5000 meters and is part of the Company’s early-stage exploration activities in northern Québec where it is evaluating 15 properties on 689 claims covering 38,129.4 hectares that are prospective for battery metals such as nickel, copper, and cobalt (See February 16, April 21, July 22, and November 15, 2021 news releases). The drill program is currently being managed by Laurentia Exploration in association with GoldMinds Geoservices Inc.
Frank J. Basa, P.Eng., President and CEO commented, “These are excellent XRF results for this early-stage drill program in Northern Quebec and complement our cobalt and nickel results from the ground held in the Cobalt/Gowganda camp in Northern Ontario. Both districts are in low-risk jurisdictions to supply battery metals into the emerging North American battery market. This will position the recently announced Coniagas Battery Metals spinout with primary feed for our proprietary Re-2Ox processing technology for the production of battery metals.”.
“I believe this is a turning point for Canada Silver Cobalt Works as an exploration company. These preliminary XRF results are extremely encouraging and while the assays are still pending, it fortifies our interest in the area. As we continue to expand our operations, it is important that we maintain a healthy pipeline of high-potential targets that pertain to our long-term strategic vision. Continuing to build successful relationships is also key to this success, much like the recently acquired Chute-des-Passes claims that are adjacent to our Graal property,” says Matt Halliday, President, COO and VP Exploration.

About Canada Silver Cobalt Works Inc.
Canada Silver Cobalt Works Inc. recently discovered a major high-grade silver vein system at Castle East located 1.5 km from its 100%-owned, past-producing Castle Mine near Gowganda in the prolific and world-class silver-cobalt mining district of Northern Ontario. This discovery has the highest silver resource grade in the world, with recent drill intercepts of up to 89,853 grams/tonne silver (2,621 oz/ton Ag). A drill program is underway to expand the size of the deposit with an update to the resource estimate scheduled for Q1 2022.
In May 2020, based on a small initial drill program, the Company published the region’s first 43-101 resource estimate that contained a total of 7.56 million ounces of silver in Inferred resources, comprising very high-grade silver (8,582 grams per tonne un-cut or 250.2 oz/ton) in 27,400 tonnes of material from two sections (1A and 1B) of the Castle East Robinson Zone, beginning at a vertical depth of approximately 400 meters. Note that mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. Please refer to Canada Silver Cobalt Works Press Release May 28, 2020, for the resource estimate. Report reference: Rachidi, M. 2020, NI 43-101 Technical Report Mineral Resource Estimate for Castle East, Robinson Zone, Ontario, Canada, with an effective date of May 28, 2020, and a signature date of July 13, 2020.
Canada Silver Cobalt’s flagship silver-cobalt Castle mine and 78 sq. km Castle Property feature strong exploration upside for silver, cobalt, nickel, gold, and copper. With underground access at the fully owned Castle Mine, an exceptional high-grade silver discovery at Castle East, a pilot plant to produce cobalt-rich gravity concentrates on site, a processing facility (TTL Laboratories) in the town of Cobalt, and a proprietary hydrometallurgical process known as Re-2Ox (for the creation of technical-grade cobalt sulphate as well as nickel-manganese-cobalt (NMC) formulations), Canada Silver Cobalt is strategically positioned to become a Canadian leader in the silver-cobalt space.
