KWG Resources Inc. (TSXV: KWG) has received the preliminary analysis from the smelting test
completed by Xstrata Process Support on February 3(rd), 2011. The results reported are from two separate smelting tests
conducted at two different temperatures. While both tests had excellent
recoveries, the test melt at the lower temperature of 1635°C resulted
in a high recovery of high grade ferrochrome. The analytical results of
the two tests are tabulated below. Further results, including energy
consumption properties of the Big Daddy chromite ore, are anticipated in the next number of weeks.
