Western Magnesium Corporation has relocated to a new 44,000-square-foot facility strategically positioned 20 minutes from the Las Vegas Strip, marking a significant advancement in the company's sustainable magnesium production capabilities. The state-of-the-art facility will house a fully revamped Demonstration Plant designed to accelerate prototyping, showcase next-generation processes, and support scaled production testing of environmentally friendly magnesium metal.
Assembly of the Demonstration Plant is currently underway with an aggressive six-month completion target, reflecting the company's commitment to rapid innovation and execution. This facility represents a major upgrade in operational capabilities that will enhance demonstration and development activities while creating opportunities for collaboration and talent attraction. The location offers unparalleled access to major transportation hubs, talent pools, and business networks, making it an ideal center for client visits and strategic partnerships.
"This new facility positions us at the forefront of sustainable magnesium production," said Sam Ataya, Executive Chairman and CEO of Western Magnesium Corporation. "By combining world-class infrastructure with a prime location near Las Vegas, we're not only enhancing our demonstration and development capabilities but also creating exciting opportunities for collaboration, talent attraction, and industry leadership."
The company's expansion has received support from local government, with North Las Vegas Mayor Pamela Goynes-Brown stating, "I am excited to welcome Western Magnesium Corporation to North Las Vegas. Their expansion here is a testament to the strength of our business community in North Las Vegas and will offer real, meaningful careers to our residents."
This development matters because magnesium is a strategic commodity prized for its strength and lightweight qualities, with applications across automotive, aerospace, electronics, and defense industries. Western Magnesium Corporation's proprietary technology produces 99.8% pure magnesium directly from the reactor prior to refinement while minimizing environmental impact, addressing growing demand for sustainable manufacturing processes. The company's progress toward becoming a low-cost producer of green, primary magnesium metal could reduce reliance on traditional production methods with higher environmental footprints.
The implications extend beyond corporate expansion to potential industry transformation, as successful demonstration of scalable, eco-friendly magnesium production could influence manufacturing standards globally.
