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 10,000tpa 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 plans to sell the refined magnesium under long-term contracts to Australian, 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 CO2 emitter. LMG adopts the principles of an industrial ecology system.
