VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA, CANADA / TheNewswire / 29 May 2017.  MAG ONE PRODUCTS INC. (“Mag One”) or the (“Company”) is pleased to announce that a key result has been reached in the development of its CO2- and slag-free aluminothermic technology for manufacturing magnesium (Mg) ingots and magnesium-aluminum (Mg-Al) alloys.  Mag One’s unique process uses serpentinite tailings near Danville, QC to produce high purity fine-grained magnesium oxide (MgO) which can be sold to the chemical industry or used as the feed source to produce Mg metal and alloys. Specifically, the Company has succeeded in forming compact/dense briquettes (see photo), which meet all the known compositional and microstructural requirements for producing pure Mg ingots and high-value Mg-Al alloys.

 

Significantly, Mag One’s proposed aluminothermic method for manufacturing Mg will also co-produce aluminum oxide (Al2O3), which has many commercial applications in the chemical, refractory, aluminum and ceramic sectors.  As a Canadian producer, Mag One plans to target the U.S. market with the goal of becoming a preferred supplier compared to other current foreign producers.

Key personnel from the Company, headed by Gillian Holcroft, President, along with a group of experienced engineers, metallurgists, and key consultants had an intense review and update session in Montreal. Ideas were shared and a consensus was reached regarding the best path forward. This collaboration has resulted in significant developments towards the construction of the 100 kg/hr. pilot plant for high purity MgO and silica production.

       

Mag One Products Inc. is a company that aims to be the diamond standard in the magnesium (Mg) market by concentrating on four initial projects at its processing/manufacturing plant’s site in southern Quebec, Canada:      

I. Assembly and sale of Mg-based structural insulated sheathing panels. (ROK-ONIM   II. Production of high-purity MgO, Mg(OH)2 and other saleable co-products, byproducts and compounds. III. Production of 99.9% pure Mg ingots, which will be the Company’s flagship operation and IV. Mg-Air Fuel Cell/Battery for emergency power, light and recharging for disaster relief and emergency situations on land and sea. Key advantages in these four projects are Mag One’s technologies, modular processing plant expansion concept and its abundant access to tailings.
