Gold X Mining Commences Planned Engineering of Northern Access Road

Gold X signs agreement with CM Engineering of Suriname for design of Northern Access Route connecting Toroparu to tidewater at Buckhall
 LIDAR based engineered design expected to be completed in September 2020
 Remaining US$250,000 of debt has been converted into equity at C$3.20 per share leaving Gold X debt free and 100% owner of ToroparuVANCOUVER, British Columbia, Aug. 05, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Gold X Mining Corp. (TSX.V: GLDX, OTCQX: SSPXF) (“Gold X” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce commencement of engineering and design for a new road link that will replace use of the historical road route between the Toroparu Gold Project and Tidewater, decreasing both capital and operating costs of access for the project. The new road link will connect Toroparu to the Barama – Buckhall Landing Road (the “Barama Road”) which also serves as the Aurora Mine’s access to Tidewater (see Figure 1: Toroparu Project – Map showing Northern and Southern Access Road Network). As shown on the map, the new 58 km (36 mi) link will connect to the Barama Road approximately 14 km east of the Aurora mine, creating the Northern Access Route between Toroparu and Tidewater. When the new link is completed, the Northern Access Route will replace the Southern Access Route as the primary access road for construction and operation.The engineering and design team is being led by CM Engineering located in Paramaribo, Suriname. CM-Engineering, in partnership with Haukes Construction NV, are experts in the design, engineering, and construction of roads, ports and other facilities in the tropical rainforest environments specific to the Guiana Shield. Experience with similar projects in Suriname including construction of 23 km ore haul road construction for IAMGOLD’s Gros Rosebel Mine, as well as contracts with Newmont, Surgold, Suralco, Staatsolie, and Ministry of Public Works uniquely qualify the team to provide site specific designs for the Northern Route project in an efficient manner. The initial engineered designs based on Gold X recently completed LIDAR and Photogrammetry survey completed earlier this year are expected in 60-days allowing for initial road construction works to commence in Q4 2020.Figure 1 is available at https://www.globenewswire.com/NewsRoom/AttachmentNg/48a75235-77c9-4537-a1e9-98f7582060bePaul Matysek, CEO commented, “The participation of regional engineering and construction companies will allow us to efficiently design and build out our northern route access infrastructure while early stage construction activities can begin in parallel at Toroparu via our southern access route, 120-person man-camp, airstrip, heavy equipment maintenance and administration facilities. It also provides a direct and rapid link between the Guyana Goldfields/Zijin gold operation and processing facility which will clearly enhance potential collaboration and synergies between our companies.”The historical link to Tidewater has been via the Southern Access Route over the Itaballi-Puruni-Papishou Landing Road (the “Puruni – Papishou Road”). Gold X subsidiary, ETK Inc., extended a road between Itaballi Landing and Puruni Landing in the early 2000’s to service mining communities from Puruni Landing to Papishou Landing west of Toroparu. To support the local mining community, ETK has continued to operate the barge crossing at Puruni Landing without charging any tolls to the Guyanese small miners’ community. The final section of the Puruni – Papishou Road links Toroparu to the Kurupung River Hydroelectric Project over a 58 km distance.Existing infrastructure at Toroparu includes administration building, camp with 120-person capacity, heavy equipment maintenance shed/warehouse and night certified gravel airstrip (see Figure 2: Photograph of Toroparu Project Infrastructure).Figure 2 is available at https://www.globenewswire.com/NewsRoom/AttachmentNg/1cbb25aa-6556-4437-b93b-43a12954f87aConvertible Debentures Update
Further to the Company’s announcement on July 16, 2020, the outstanding balance of US$250,000 convertible debentures have been converted into Gold X common shares at C$3.20 per share.This leaves the Company debt free and the 100% owner of the 7.35 million ounces Measured and Indicated and 3.15 million ounces Inferred gold resources¹ at Toroparu Project and over 538 Km2 of highly prospective and underexplored permits.On behalf of the Board of Directors of Gold X Mining Corp.“Paul Matysek”
