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 -

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!
