Western Magnesium Corporation (TSXV:WMG; Frankfurt-M1V;OTCQB:MLYF) ("Western Magnesium" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has started the build out of our first commercialized pilot plant.
Led by our technical team of Robert Odle, Chief Process Engineer and Paul Sauvé, VP, Operations, Western Magnesium has already contracted an international engineering firm to assist in the design and procurement of the pilot plant. Key activities, such as, process design, flowsheet development, process modeling, and mechanical design are well under way and management feels strongly that the project is moving in the right direction and will meet our projected timelines for completion. Western Magnesium will achieve its goal of producing magnesium metal by the end of 2020.
This is a stepping-stone to move the Company forward in producing the first run of metal that will be used to carry out end-user industry testing as well as obtain industry certification by the automobile, aerospace, and airline industries, and also the government and military.
With this foundational work under way, Western Magnesium Corporation is well into its operational activation phase of its strategy. With the finish line in mind, all hands are on deck from the finance, operations, and IR perspective as the company forges ahead at an accelerated pace.
About Western Magnesium
Western Magnesium's goal is to be a low-cost producer of green, primary magnesium metal, a strategic commodity prized for its strength and light weight. Unlike outdated and costly production processes, Western Magnesium looks to use a continuous silicothermic process to produce magnesium, which significantly reduces labor and energy costs relative to current methods and processes, while being environmentally friendly.
