To think,
Driftwood and the other surrounding magnesite claims have Rubidium.
Did our darling MGX team already know ?
lol
Driftwood story could change quickly,
if they wanted it too. Hire other lead personel.
MgCO3 --------> methane fuel ( primary of natural gas ) Using whole magnesite crushed and milled to,
80 - 140 mesh Carbon is contained
MgCO3 solid mixed with Nickel = Catalyst = Methane
350 - 400 degree temp
= Generates Methane fuel
= Magnesium Oxide as remaining product.
= Sell magnesium oxide
= reuse - capture co2 repeat methane process
This sort of mining makes sense.
Especially with a
Mg rich grade depost = benefits economics
And.... rubidium would be a major bonus @ nearly
1/oz tonne based on, assay report by
G J Simandl Would be no excuse waiting for better Mg market prices.
Energy company with bonus rubidium
economic booster Something BC needs
new energies Aligns with renewables
Methane could be used for....
turbine electricity sold to USA Lot tonnage could be sold off to create subsiduary energy Co's elsewhere
using MgCO3 to produce methane fuels and recapture atmospheric co2
or delverable co2 to generate more methane production.
MODEL
xx tonnage producing
while
xx tonnage capturing
Direct Reduction of
Magnesium Carbonate to Methane
