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 industry
China dominates the
production of stainless steel
The development of the
Canadian chromite deposits
hinges on partnership
with China
-
The chromite deposits of the Ring of Fire will be mined for a century
The current total drill defined chromite resource in the Ring of Fire of 343 million tonnes could triple
The longevity and high rate of production justifies the investment in rail transportation
-
Low cost rail
transport is the
environmentally
sustainable choice.
Rail transport
as opposed to
truck transport
is energy efficient
Rail transport
produces the least
greenhouse gases
One round trip
per day for a train
is the equivalent to
hundreds of trucks
Rail 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!
