DEADBURN ( MgO )
DEADBURN ( MgO ) Last time i checked China's prices it seems deadburn was ranging in the $500/us / tonne.
Decided to check today... and well,
$768 - $888/ USD / Tonne ( grade dependent )
I did notice - there was no - Al, Fe.
$768 X 1.28 conversion
= $983.00 cdn

CHINA
Material: magnesite
Shape: Block
SiO2 Content (%): ≤3.5
MgO Content (%): ≥90%
CaO Content (%): ≤1.6

What's the vantage when speaking - Mgo - in China ?
Coal fired furnaces.
Easy to build - uses cheap fuel - coal.
What's are the issue in Canada ?
Driftwood is dang close to the largest coal reserves in, B.C.
It would be cheap to produce one's own coal fired furnace, BUT...
We are under a carbon " rule " and " ghg " constraint.
We could not compete with the cheap processing that China has in place using
coal fired furnaces.
Not a level playing field.
In essence, Canada's new mining rules ( co2 ) is acting as an inhibitor which permits China to
have no real competitor if they're using coal fired furnaces. Didn't Canada and USA say they'll become less depenedent on China ? Proof would be seeing several North American green
mineral projects come online - but.. i'm not seeing this.
Anyone else ?
Biden gave fuel to China mere weeks ago.
China is still buying land in, USA.
Europe has swooned in on, Canada.
And... if one probes the kitkat pipeline, articles online suggest the gas will be sold in Asia.
Does China have a few claws in the gas + fuels in Canada ?
SOLUTION ?
What if the junior found the financing and - commissioned - it's own GAS furnace ?
Use " hydrogern as a fuel and free atmospheric ( air ) as the oxidizer ?
What sort of temp would it acheive ?
Hydrogen - Air burns - 2400 K
POTENTIAL OPTIONS ?
Flintstone operation - blast - crush - sort out a few impurities - aim for - 98% mgo ?
No carbon issues - whart if ore sorter was used ?
Sell 98% grade to, China - let them melt it and deal with co2.
Sodium Chloride - electrolysis
Mg Chloride - steam reformation
Make own furnace - use hydrogen fuel + air.
Buy a furnace - induction, electric, gas fired from... China.
Cheap. ( certainly not $100/mil )
Well under $2 mil
If electric... solar panel assistence to lower costs... ?
50 TON

8 TON

Gas fired - might be simplier more economical ?
WHAT TO DO WITH CO2 EMISSIONS ?
Have a lil laugh....
When placing carbon dioxide under preasure = forms diamonds.
CVD ( chemical vapor disposition ) machines - takes about a month to produce a diamond.
HPHT - machnes produces diamonds in a few days...
Lab grown diamonds constitute up to 3% of the global market of $1.74 billion and are made using different processes, including HPHT (High Pressure High Temperature), CVD (Chemical Vapor Deposition), ultrasound cavitation, and detonation. By 2035, their market share is expected to grow to up to $13.4 billion.

Like the song - Marg is at the lincon park in - up in the arctic -
tease.
There should be no reason why the - Driftwood is sitting idle.
Many types of furnaces.
Even selling a concentrate - MgO 98%
To think... Ares Resources can push out the door - lump flurospar -
yes.. lump.
Mind Boggling.
