VERTICALLY INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT PLAN
Through the Company’s subsidiary, Canada Chrome Corporation (“CCC”), KWG Resources has also staked a corridor of mining claims with the intent of developing a railway, linking its chromite deposits to the national infrastructure of road, rail, and natural gas pipelines within the municipality of Greenstone.
KWG Resources is also developing a novel method of reducing chromite to ferrochrome using natural gas that has much lower energy consumption than the current practice of using Electric Arc Furnaces. KWG is confident that it will overcome the key hurdle, the marketing of its ferrochrome, as a result of its ongoing discussions and agreements with Chinese corporations that cover all aspects of this development.
The low cost bulk transport of raw ore from a small footprint underground mine in the “wetlands” to an integrated chromite reduction facility located on a brownfield site not only optimizes the economic sustainability, but also the development’s environmental and social sustainability. KWG Resources is seeking its social licence for these developments by inviting the most affected First Nations to be both partners in and owners of the development.
