DRIFTWOOD MAGNESIUM

PRESS EXCERPT -

Driftwood Magnesium Plant

The Company has begun the quotation process for the acquisition of magnesium metal processing equipment. A confidential prior study by Hatch Consulting (Canada) for MGX, identified a potentially profitable price of magnesium metal based on prior exploration and engineering work at its Driftwood Magnesium deposit. Recently, magnesium metal has entered this range. As a result, the Company has issued a request for quotation for up to 16,000 tonnes Mg metal processing equipment and expects an understanding of capital requirements shortly.

Question -
Should the processing equiptment ( extraction mine model ) consider a hydroxide phase to create an additional energy phase in which to incorporate this extra energy to run the processing plant - seems many green energy projects are consiencious of, co2 emissions. Sourcing the power appears to be of greatr importance and how the power is generated - minus co2 production.

What heappens to Magnesium in salt water ?
Creates a magnesium hydroxide.
AND.... as a bonus.... hydrogen gas is produced.

On this side, the water reacts with the magnesium and creates hydrogen ions (protons) and magnesium hydroxide and generates two free electrons

Question becomes -
is magnesium hydroxide still desirable as an end product.
Or, dehydrate the magnesium from it's water and repeat the process over and over to produce hydrogen gas - near indefinitly - this process could spell - far less ores needed to be mined when compared to producing magnesium metal alloy, thus depleting the resource all the quicker.

Could Canada - Should Canada
implement various forms of hydrogen production ?
When considering using ( salt base mettaloids ) as a reactant - such requires no added energy or heat to initiate. Puts a whole new spin on, creating energy with least amount of energy needed. .

Though this article mentions using Silicon - magnesium works the same way to produce hydrogen gas.

Like any good mining project, it';s all about producing with the least amount of monies and maximizing the profits.
