The mineral chromite is the only source of the metal chromium

Without chromium, stainless steel would not exist -
Without stainless steel, our bridges and buildings quickly crumble -
Without chromite to make stainless steel, we cannot create lasting dreams! The Kelpies, in Scotland, sculptured by Andy Scott is clad in stainless steel -
Our need for stainless steel has been growing by 5 to 7% for 70 years Stainless steel improves the sustainability of our increasing use of metal because it makes everything more durable -
The discovery of world class chromite deposits will enable Canada to be a significant player in the stainless steel industryChina dominates the production of stainless steelThe development of the Canadian chromite deposits hinges on partnership with China

Low cost rail transport is the environmentally sustainable choice.Rail transport as opposed to truck transport is energy efficientRail transport produces the least greenhouse gasesOne round trip per day for a train is the equivalent to hundreds of trucksRail transport will make it possible for miners to haul raw ore to processing facilities on brownfield sites near existing communities.

Canada Chrome Corporation has staked mineral claims over a 330 kilometer route of unique high ground through the wetlands Low cost rail transport ensures the economic viability of mining chromite -
Rail transport will reduce the footprint and negative impact on the ecologically sensitive wetlands We value our natural environment -
Canada has a significant global advantage in reducing chromite to ferrochrome alloy; natural gas An oversupply of natural gas in North America for many decades will keep its price low Chromite is currently reduced to ferrochrome at 1700 degrees in electric arc furnaces KWG has invested in the development of natural gas reduction of chromite KWG's gas chromite reduction is "new art" and is the subject of global patent applications KWG's gas chromite reduction occurs at 1300 degrees, leading to much lower energy consumption -
The energy savings of KWG's chromite gas reduction replacing the existing method is equivalent to the power needs of a country the size of Italy -
KWG's gas chromite reduction releases fewer greenhouse gases KWG's gas chromite reduction will revolutionize ferrochrome production -
In honour of the treaty between the First Nations of this land and Crown, it is KWG's desire that the First Nations be partners in the Ring of Fire developments As partners and owners, First Nations could shape their future!
KWG Resources is an exploration stage company that is participating in the discovery, delineation and development of chromite deposits in the James Bay Lowlands of Northern Ontario, including 1,024 hectares covered by four unpatented mining claims (Fancamp Claims) approximately 280km north of Nakina, Ontario, which contains the Black Horse chromite deposit, named the “Black Horse Project” and 1,241 hectares covered by seven unpatented mining claims (Big Daddy Claims) approximately 280km north of Nakina, Ontario, which contains the Big Daddy chromite deposit, named the “Big Daddy Project”.
Both the Big Daddy and Black Horse chromite deposits contain 43-101 compliant resources. Please visit the (Technical Reports) page to access the 43-101 reports.
KWG Resources is now the Operator of the Black Horse Joint Venture after acquiring a vested 50% interest through Bold Ventures Inc. which is carried for 10% (20% of KWG’s equity in the JV) by KWG funding all exploration expenditures. The Corporation has the right to acquire: (i) up to an 80% interest in respect of chromite contained in the Koper Lake Project; and (ii) up to a 20% carried interest in respect of the non-chromite minerals contained in the Koper Lake Project. The Corporation also has a 30% interest in the Big Daddy Project.

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 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.
