Summary

  • The Qinghai project will be transformative for Magontec and for the magnesium

  • industry

  • Magontec has a strong position in Qinghai underpinned by three comprehensive

  • agreements

  • QSLM is an equity partner in Magontec – not a disinterested counterparty

  • The magnesium industry is enjoying a secular growth trend as automotive companies

  • seek alternative materials that address CO2 emission requirements

  • Magontec has an underlying business that is improving – it is not burning cash waiting

  • for Qinghai to come on stream

  • Magontec is not just a Mg alloy manufacturer and recycler – it has a growing portfolio

  • of value-adding products in corrosion protection
