Mag One Products Inc.: NI 43-101 Technical Report Update and Announcement of a New Project Director



Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada / TheNewswire / April 11, 2017 - MAG ONE PRODUCTS INC. (“Mag One,” or the “Company”), announced on March 22nd that it will produce a NI 43-101 Summary of Current and Scientific Technical Information as rapidly as possible.  The Company is pleased to announce that this effort is well underway, and it is expected that Jacques Marchand (a Québec Ingénieur Géologue Conseil and Qualified Person per NI 43-101) will soon be submitting this report to Mag One management.

The Company also wishes to announce the engagement of the technical group of Dundee Sustainable Technologies Inc (“DST”) in Thetford Mines, Quebec to act as Mag One’s Project Support Team for all phases of the hydrometallurgical piloting effort.  This program is designed to produce high-purity amorphous silica for the cement industry, as well as the precursor product required to produce high-purity magnesium oxide (MgO) for various chemical applications.  

The team, led by Mr. David Lemieux a Chemical Engineer from the University of Sherbrooke, and his highly skilled team of engineers and scientists at DST are a welcome resource for Mag One.  DST has years of experience in the development of hydrometallurgical processes for the mining industry, including asbestos tailings. Mr. Lemieux successfully led the development of DST technologies at a pilot scale on beneficiation of asbestos tailings to recover nickel. He is also co-inventor of 9 patents owned by DST and has published more than a dozen papers.  In addition, Mr. Lemieux has supervised the construction of DST’s 15 tonnes per day (“TPD”) Demonstration Plant.   Following a successful 1 TPD piloting program in Asbestos, Mag One has the option of using DST’s existing large scale 15 TPD demonstration plant to product larger quantities of high purity silica for potential offtake customers in the cement industry while the commercial 18,000 tonne per year manufacturing plant is being constructed.  

Mag One’s technical team is also advancing on the development of its novel pyrometallurgical approach for Mg ingot production.  To this end, Mag One has organized a technical review meeting on April 19th in Montreal to establish clear milestones that are geared towards moving this effort to the next level.  

Mag One Products Inc. is a company that aims to be the diamond standard in the magnesium (Mg) market by concentrating on three initial projects at its manufacturing plant site in southern Quebec, Canada: I. Production of high-purity MgO, Mg(OH)2 and other saleable co-products, by-products and compounds. II. Production of 99.9% pure Mg ingots. III. Manufacturing and sale of magnesium-based structural insulated sheathing panels. Three of Mag One’s key advantages are its technologies, modular processing plant expansion concept, and the availability of already-mined serpentinite tailings.

Gillian Holcroft, Eng., M.Eng., President and Director of Mag One Products Inc., is the Company’s designated qualified person for this press release, and has reviewed and validated the information contained in it.
