Western Magnesium Issues Indication of Interest to Move into Magnesium Production

11.06.2019  |  The Newswire

If acquired, a site will be transformed into a center of innovation and production for magnesium steel using breakthrough, clean technology

NEW YORK, NY - June 11, 2019 - Western Magnesium Corp. (TSXV: WMG; Frankfurt-M1V; OTCQB: MLYF) (the "Company" or "Western Magnesium") announced it has issued an indication of interest to acquire a former smelter site in the state of Washington.

"If successful, the site will be created as a center for magnesium metal production and innovation, where like-minded companies can collaborate to take full advantage of our revolutionary, clean production process that will establish Western Magnesium as the low-cost producer of green, primary magnesium," says Sam Ataya, Chief Executive Officer of Western Magnesium Corp.. Magnesium is an attractive choice in applications where light weight and high performance are critical.

Western Magnesium Corp.'s scalable commercial furnaces require a smaller footprint than previous operational requirements and, unlike alternative production methods, contribute to the Company's ultimate zero waste goal. In addition, their size enables the furnaces to be located in any post-industrial town or city that is close to industrial demand. In addition to this site located in Stevens County, Western Magnesium Corp. has identified several potential sites throughout the U.S. that will serve as ideal locations to produce magnesium metal. This will enable Western Magnesium Corp. to be a coast-to-coast producer, servicing the needs of multiple industries throughout the U.S.

Currently, magnesium metal can only be profitably produced in countries with low labor costs and lax work and environmental standards--such as China, which currently produces almost 90% of the world's supply. Western Magnesium Corp.'s technology can turn this table with its process that will produce an environmentally friendly and economically competitive product.

"Our vision is to create a cornerstone industry that will allow innovation in industries as diverse as automotive, aerospace, defense and general manufacturing," says Ataya.

During construction and build out, the Western Magnesium plant will look to create new jobs throughout the U.S. Western Magnesium Corp. is already in talks with other companies to work collaboratively on the American Magnesium Renaissance.

"The real economic impact will be seen by transforming a potential manufacturing site into a center of innovation that may include worker housing and amenities to attract scientists, engineers and the skilled workforce needed to create an entirely new American industry," says Ataya. "Our hope is that our facility serves as a locus of smart manufacturing activity, breaks our reliance on dirty, low-quality foreign magnesium and produces a better, cleaner, domestic product that re-establishes American manufacturing dominance." Terms and considerations will be noted in a future press release.
