320 Tramway Road property contains 14,000m [2] of buildings in the form of an administration building and a number of large industrial buildings which are 12 metres high. These buildings are ideal to house LMG’s initial plant and its expanded plants.
The site is close to rail, freeway, gas and water pipelines. In addition, the site is near to a new solar power development which has been passed by the Latrobe City Council and which is in the permitting stage with the Victorian State Government. Given LMG can connect to this solar power development, its magnesium and other products will produce zero or very little CO [2] emissions.
The purchase of the site allows the company to plan its future expansions, obtain appropriate business insurance, save rent through the construction phase and benefit from its own site improvements.

About Latrobe Magnesium
Latrobe Magnesium is developing a magnesium production plant in Victoria's Latrobe Valley using its worldfirst patented extraction process. LMG intends to extract and sell magnesium metal and cementitious material from industrial fly ash, which is currently a waste stream from the Yallourn brown coal power generation.
LMG has completed a feasibility study validating its combined hydromet / thermal reduction process that extracts the metal. Construction is estimated to start on site on its initial 1,000 tonne per annum magnesium plant in first quarter of 2022 with production commencing up to 12 months later in fourth quarter of 2022. The plant will then be expanded to 10,000 tonne per annum magnesium shortly thereafter. Further plant capacity expansion will be considered once the 10,000 tonne per annum is operating successfully. The plant will be in the heart of Victoria’s coal power generation precinct, providing immediate access to feedstock, infrastructure, and labour.
LMG will also be starting a pre-feasibility study for its 100,000 tpa magnesium plant using ferro-nickel slag in 2022.
LMG plans to sell the refined magnesium under long-term contracts to USA and Japanese customers. Currently, Australia imports 100% of the 8,000 tonnes annually consumed.
Magnesium has the best strength-to-weight ratio of all common structural metals and is increasingly used in the manufacture of car parts, laptop computers, mobile phones, and power tools.
The LMG project is at the forefront of environmental benefit – by recycling power plant waste, avoiding landfill and is a low CO[2 ] emitter. LMG adopts the principles of an industrial ecology system.
