VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA
-- October 17, 2017 -- InvestorsHub NewsWire
-- Nevada Clean Magnesium,
Inc. (TSXV: NVM; Frankfurt-M1V; OTCQB: MLYFF) (the "Company") is
pleased to announce a major milestone in the testing of its bench
scale pilot furnace.
The furnace achieved an operating
temperature of 1,250 degrees Celsius within an acceptable time
under low pressure with argon flow.(Thermal reductant processing
parameters can typically be difficult to reach and sustain.) With
the furnace at operating temperature, the insulation design was
also assessed and proven successful.
Together with processing the dolomite
into a magnesium crown, additional information will be gained:
-
Assessment of alternate reductants at
larger scale;
-
Confirmation of furnace performance
and product recovery
-
Generation of waste residue for
evaluation in alternative applications such as portland cement,
fire resistant wall board and soil remediation.
James Sever, COO states, "At the
conclusion of the current test program, this furnace will be
modified into a small production furnace to prove newly developed
condenser concepts. We will also evaluate design approaches to
recover energy from waste streams in an effort to further decrease
operating costs."
Ed Lee CEO states, "We are excited to
finally be at the point of processing the dolomite from the Tami
Mosi magnesium deposit in order to provide "proof of concept. Once
the process testing is complete, we will begin fund raising for the
prefeasibility study then proceed toward a continuous process. The
Board of directors are very pleased with the results from the long
task that James Sever has endured in achieving this major milestone
of a fully functional piece of equipment."
Mr. Lee goes on to say, "The project
economics are based solely upon magnesium metal production. Even
though residue streams from the reduction process have the
potential to generate significant revenues; including them into the
economics at this time would increase the complexity of the project
and would distort the true benefits of our approach. We are intent
on being fully competitive with the Chinese based solely on
magnesium metal production. Sale of co-products from our waste
streams would then be seen as a bonus. We have always known what
our co-products potentials to be, but want the markets to be clear
what our primary goal is, profitably producing magnesium metal
within the United States of America."
Readers are cautioned that the
preliminary economic assessment is preliminary in nature, that it
includes inferred mineral resources that are considered too
speculative geologically to have the economic considerations
applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as mineral
reserves, and there is no certainty that the preliminary economic
assessment will be realized. Actual results from further test work
my differ materially from those currently anticipated.
