Latrobe Magnesium - turning residual ash into useful magnesium metal
     

Smart, Efficient and
Environmentally Responsible

Latrobe Magnesium Limited is reviewing the alternative technologies to produce magnesium metal from fly ash, a power plant waste product and environmental pollutant.

Magnesium is becoming increasingly popular for use in automobiles as it is a light weight metal and significantly reduces the weight of the vehicle which in turn lowers carbon emissions.

Ove the next year, Latrobe Magnesium Limited is undertaking a Feasibility Study in order to further progress the project and establish its economic viability to the high standards. A business plan will be developed from the feasibility study. This plan will then be used to attract a joint venture partner to assist with the funding of the intial development of a plant.

This project will produce magnesium at the lowest operating cost of all Western projects and will be environmentally friendly resulting in a cleaner Latrobe Valley.
