-- InvestorsHub NewsWire -–
Nevada Clean Magnesium,
Inc. (TSXV:NVM; Frankfurt-M1V; OTCQB:MLYFF) (the “Company”) ”)
is pleased to announce preliminary “proof of concept” in the
production of magnesium metal from its bench scale pilot furnace
located in Northern British Columbia.
The
metal is a result from a partial test charge being conducted in
order to identify any operational deficiencies prior to a full
charge of dolime material. The charge contains dolomite from the
Company’s Tami Mosi deposit located east of Ely, Nevada and ferro
silicon the identified base case reductant material contained in
the NI 43-101.

The testing has provided “proof of concept” and
enables the technical team a clear path to fine tuning the process
in order to achieve better efficiencies and cycle times.
Test samples have been submitted for analysis
including the residue for specifications for the potential use as
saleable co-products. All residue samples generated in this test
are being supplied to an interested international cement
company for further testing and data analysis. These residue tests
and analysis should be available back to the company early in the
New Year.
The next test is scheduled to begin mid- next
week. It will utilize the alternate reductant and a full
charge of Tami Mosi dolomite. All of this work is based upon
earlier reductant testing performed by Big Blue Technology LLC of
Golden Colorado using ferro silicon and the alternate
reductant.
James Sever, COO states”It was very gratifying
to have the pilot furnace operate so effectively on its initial
reduction test. Not only did we produce metallic magnesium,
we confirmed that the reactor concept meets the target for energy
reduction. This should reduce both the cost of production and
the carbon footprint of the operation. The rate of reaction
brought about by efficient heat transfer to the charge was
surprisingly fast indicating the potential for continuous
production rather than cyclic batches. We have a great deal
of work to do but the initial work substantiates our belief in this
project.”
Ed Lee, President and CEOstates “This step has
been highly anticipated and is a significant milestone for the Tami
Mosi project. The project continues to meet the design criteria
laid out at the beginning of the PEA back in 2011 which was to
design a project that has the opportunities and realistic
potentials to have near zero emissions and waste while providing a
source of magnesium metal produced within the United States that is
competitive with the rest of the world .”
