Newlox Gold Expands from Lab to In-Field Development of Organic Clean Gold Technology
Newlox Gold Ventures Corp. (“Newlox” or the “Company”) (CSE: LUX ) (CNSX:LUX.CN) ( Frankfurt/Stuttgart: NGO ) (OTC : NWLXF ) is pleased to 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.
A Message from Ryan Jackson, President & CEO:
“Newlox Gold’s OAR technology is poised to deliver the next milestone in recovery technology for the resource industry. While there has been some technological progress in our industry, recent advancement has been incremental.
The last major improvement in gold recovery technology was the shift away from mercury amalgamation, which is both inefficient and has significant negative environmental and health outcomes, to cyanide leaching, which is very effective and, if done correctly, is safe and does not result in environmental damage.
Cyanide leaching represents the best currently available technology and is therefore used by nearly all responsible mining companies at present. However, cyanide leaching requires large volumes of water, has a terrible public relations problem and, if handled improperly , can be dangerous for staff.
We believe that OAR will be the next major step forward for the precious metals industry. The technology appears to be an ideal solution to a variety of metallurgical conditions and is highly effective at gold dissolution, much like cyanide . However, OAR is non-toxic and is an anhydrous reagent which means it does not require the input of fresh water.
Water use is a major topic in the resource industry, especially in arid climates where mining competes with agriculture and residential use for fresh water. Additionally, not requiring water means there are no water effluent disposal problems, a huge benefit for industry .
The initiation of in-field testing is a major milestone for the Newlox Gold R&D division. We are most enthusiastic to begin testing OAR technology in Costa Rica.”

Manicouagan’s Bulk Sample Material Contains Suite of Platinum Group Metals & Between 2.36 & 2.92% Nickel
St-Georges Eco-Mining Corp. (CSE:SX) (CNSX:SX.CN) (OTC:SXOOF) (FSE:85G1) is pleased to provide a status update on the Manicouagan Project located on the Québec North-Shore. Representative samples obtained from the approximately one metric ton bulk sample, collected in the fall of 2021, returned nickel grades between 2.36% and 2.92% and Palladium grades between 1.4 and 9.5 g/t.
The Company is in the process of finalizing a report for its 2021 Manicouagan exploration activities. Once the report is completed, the Company should be able to release additional results and additional comments. Assay results are considerably behind schedule and the report will necessarily have incomplete results for the drilling program.
The Company is continuing with the logging of historic core recovered from the 2006-2008 drilling programs. This work will allow for constructing of a three-dimensional model based on surface and drilling results and preparing for the next phase of drilling later this year.
Manicouagan Bulk Sampling
The Company’s exploration team collected approximately one metric ton of high-grade Ni-Cu-Co-PGE massive sulphide material from surface at the Bob Showing last fall. The showing is located near the center of the Manicouagan project area . The geologist team obtained this material from blasting and channel cuts to provide a metallurgical bulk sample. This bulk sample will test the recovery of nickel, copper, cobalt, platinum, palladium, rhodium, ruthenium, and iridium.
Four representative samples weighing from 1.51 to 5.82 kg totaling 13.65 kg from the Bob Showing were collected. The four samples were inserted into identified plastic bags and sealed. The sample bags were transported by helicopter first and then trucked to the facilities of Magnor Exploration Inc. in Ville de La Baie. The four bags were sent to the ALS Laboratories to determine an average grade for St-Georges incoming metallurgical tests. Results received from this work are included in Table 1 for PGEs and Table 2 for base metals.
The material collected is a massive sulfide with +50% sulfide content. The balance of the bulk sample is in airtight containers and stored in a safe place with a controlled oxygen and water atmosphere in order to avoid self-combustion of the ore rich in nickeliferous pyrrhotite. This material is waiting to be sent to St-Georges’ contracted metallurgical facilities.
The results are very encouraging and in line with past work conducted on the property.

Historic Core Sampling Program
The Company’s geological contractors for the Manicouagan project have retrieved all available historic core from the project site and are moving it to a facility located in Ville de La Baie, Quebec. The historic core includes approximately 4,500 meters of the 4,727 meters program completed in 2007-08. This core is being relogged and samples collected where not previously sampled. Due to the limited sampling by past explorers coupled with the realization that platinum group elements (PGEs) may be more widely distributed than previously identified, the Company is selectively sampling additional portions of the historic core.

Usha Resources Announces Intention to Spin Out Nicobat Nickel Property to Newly Formed Subsidiary
Usha Resources Ltd. (“Usha” or the “Company”) (TSXV:USHA)(OTCQB:USHAF) is pleased to announce that its Board of Directors is currently evaluating a proposal for Usha to transfer the Company’s Nicobat Nickel property (the “Property“) located in Dobie Township, Northwest Ontario to a newly formed subsidiary (“SpinCo“) and subsequently spin out the shares of SpinCo (“SpinCo Shares“) to Usha’s shareholders at a ratio yet to be determined (the “Transaction“). The Company will retain an interest in SpinCo.
Deepak Varshney, CEO stated: “With nickel prices soaring, we see this as the perfect backdrop to unlock value for investors by spinning out what was once our flagship property into a separate, battery-metals oriented public company. We don’t believe the market is fully valuing the sum of our parts and we see this as the ideal solution to ensure our projects get the attention and command the valuation they deserve. Spinning out the Nicobat property will allow Usha to streamline its focus while also allowing shareholders to participate in and benefit from the creation of a new battery-metals focused exploration company. With shareholders of Usha receiving shares in the SpinCo, we feel that the contemplated transaction would create a compelling new dynamic to our investment thesis as investors would stand to own shares in two public companies that are on two clear paths.”
The completion of the proposed Transaction and contemplated distribution of SpinCo Shares to Usha shareholders are subject to a number of conditions, including the completion of corporate, legal and tax structuring, completion of SpinCo financing, determination of final details of the transaction, the appointment of a Board and management team for SpinCo, required regulatory and shareholder approvals, and the subsequent listing of the SpinCo Shares on the TSX Venture Exchange.
There is no certainty that the Transaction will be completed on the terms proposed or at all. The Board of Usha may determine to not proceed with the Transaction should there be a change in market conditions or investor interest or should another opportunity arise that would similarly enhance value to Usha shareholders.
The Company will provide updates when further details of the proposed Transaction are determined.
About the Nicobat Nickel Property
The Nicobat Nickel Property is a nickel-copper-PGE project located in Dobie Township, Northwest Ontario 21 kilometres south of New Gold’s Rainy River Mine which hosts the Zone 34 nickel discovery.
Historic exploration work between 1952 and 1972 included over 15,000 metres of drilling, 220 drill holes and numerous bulk samples that identified a non-compliant historic resource of 5.3 Mt grading 0.24% Ni that contained a high-grade zone of approximately 225,000 tons grading 0.87% Ni.
Recent exploration work includes over 4,000 metres of drilling that has confirmed high-grade nickel-copper shoots do exist and are considerably better than previously recorded in the historical drilling, with drillhole A-04-15 intersecting from surface to approximately 63.75 metres a weighted average of 1.05% nickel and 2.18% copper that included an approximately 9.8-metre interval of 1.92% Ni from 53.95 to 63.75 metres.
The targeted feeder conduit measures approximately 305 metres by an average of 60 metres in width to a depth of 245 metres that is potentially open at depth and down-plunge to the north and is composed of cumulate textured olivine gabbro. This magma conduit sits in a larger norite body at the base of the Dobie Gabbro. The historical assessment data records high-grade “ribs”, one of which includes the zone described above. Future work will, therefore, focus on making the historic resource compliant current and expanding on the work completed to assess for other high-grade “ribs” and the potential high-grade feeder zone as shown in the model below.

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.
