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.

Paul 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).
