MagMetals is evaluating the development of a magnesium plant near Pointe-Noire in the Republic of Congo, located adjacent to the potash plant of its sister company, MagMinerals Potash Corp. (“MagMinerals”).

A magnesium chloride rich brine will be released as a waste stream following the production of potash, which will be available as a raw feedstock for the magnesium smelter. MagMetals plans to produce primary magnesium metal and magnesium alloys at a production rate of approximately 60,000 tonnes annually, meeting what we believe will be growing demand from the global automotive, aluminum and steel industries.

MagMetals Kouilou magnesium project has the potential to be a low-cost magnesium metal producer based on its low-cost magnesium chloride feedstock, plus local low-cost natural gas and electricity.
