North America looks to reclaim the supply chain for strategic metals; meet the companies pushing to protect the region’s economic and national security interests

Presenting are two companies and a government-private sector nonprofit that will explore the issues and solutions that the metal and mining industries as well as governments can work on together

Magnesium is a strategic metal. It is much lighter than aluminum, titanium, and steel and is critical to North America’s aerospace, defense, and automotive industries. 

But China controls 86% of the market, which means that a top economic and geo-political adversary controls the all-important supply chain. That’s just one of many examples of China’s dominance in .

In our latest One2One Virtual Forum we have two companies and a government-private sector nonprofit that will argue it is time for the US and Canada to reclaim the supply chain for strategic metals to protect vital economic and national security interests. 

This is a not-to-be-missed opportunity for investors and prospects to find out what’s new as the metals and mining industries deal with today’s supply-chain challenges. 

The event also includes a panel discussion exploring the issues and solutions that the industries and government can work on together.

Join us at 1pm ET on Tuesday, November 10, to hear more at the Strategic Metals Supply Chain Investor Forum.

Western Magnesium Corporation () () is focused on becoming the world’s low-cost producer of eco-friendly and high-quality magnesium in the face of stiff competition from Chinese rivals. 

About a decade ago, a team came together with the aim of bringing production of the strategic metal back to the US where no new plant had been built for 50 years. The US controls only 6% of the magnesium market and has to contend with a production process that can be outdated, environmentally dirty, and expensive. 

The Canadian company, however, looks to use a continuous silicothermic process to produce magnesium, which significantly reduces manufacturing and energy costs versus current methods and processes while being environmentally friendly.
