• License to implement commercially proven electrolytic extraction technology developed by Hydro.
• Ready access to a magnesium-rich waste stream from MagMinerals’ potash plant. (MagMinerals will carry-out brine mining of underlying carnallite beds)
• Proximity to a rail-side industrial site near Pointe-Noire, one of West Africa’s best deep water ports which will facilitate both construction and product shipping.
• Experienced team of consultants and engineers with outstanding magnesium expertise and technical background throughout the entire process.

The global interest in resource development and international support for new African development initiatives will help focus attention on this important industrial project – while exploring the further opportunities it can provide.
