RE:FYI - FOOD FOR THOUGHT ???Keep in mind that PyroGenesis was recently in Saudi Arabia to attend the ARABAL 2023 Aluminum Conference. PYR had 2 of their Directors from their Aluminum Division attend.
Here at ARABAL PYR showcased a revolutionary technology that is reshaping the landscape of aluminum production, refining, and recycling. PYR's team proudly stood next to an aluminum Sow-Ingot, manufactured using PyroGenesis dross recovery technology at the
Radian processing facility for
Ma'aden 's aluminum smelter (a joint venture between Alcoa and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia).
Interesting that PYR/Peter is travelling for business in early January. Looking forward to 2024!
From PYR's LinkedIn, from the ARABAL conference (take a look at the pictures of PYR's aluminum Sow-Ingot manufactured using PYR's dross recovery and PYR's aluminum samples):

The project includes a bauxite mine situated in central Saudi Arabia, which connects by rail to an integrated facility consisting of an alumina refinery, smelter, and casthouse on the Arabian Gulf coast.
First hot metal was poured in December 2012, and in 2015 the smelter reached full capacity, producing 740,000 mtpy of aluminum.
Bauxite ore from the 4-million-mtpy bauxite mine is refined in the 1.8-million-mtpy alumina refinery, which is designed for expansion and became operational in 2014.
The joint venture also had included a rolling mill, with initial hot mill capacity of 380,000 mtpy. In June 2019, Alcoa amended the joint venture agreement and transferred its 25.1 percent share of the rolling mill to Ma’aden.
