KWG Resources to seek chrome trading on the LME

2025-04-17 18:00 ET - News Release

Mr. Bruce Hodgman reports

KWG RESOURCES SIGNS MOU WITH MACLAINE WATSON & CO TO SEEK CHROME TRADING ON THE LONDON METAL EXCHANGE

KWG Resources Inc. entered into a memorandum of understanding (MOU) yesterday with Maclaine Watson & Co., a British private investment and trading house. The MOU provides that the parties will collaborate to resume Maclaine Watson's seat as a dealer on the London Metal Exchange (LME). With chromium being designated by the United States as a critical mineral -- the parties will investigate making application for chromium metal to be traded in the LME's twice-daily ring auctions.

Founded in the early 19th century, Maclaine Watson & Co. is a private investor and trader, and until 1985 was a ring-dealing member of the LME, with a legacy of trading in metals, sugar and rubber with operations in London, Indonesia and Singapore.

KWG considers the Maclaine Watson and LME relationship to be crucial to the development of a terminal market in the important chrome stainless steelmaking commodity, for Canada, to provide development capital hedging mechanisms with much enhanced access to global markets. However, neither party to the MOU will have any financial obligation to the other.

About KWG Resources Inc.

KWG, which carries on business as The Canadian Chrome Company, is an exploration stage company that is focused on identification, acquisition, consolidation, exploration, development and evaluation of large-scale deposits of minerals including chromite, base metals and strategic minerals and, where applicable, in the development of transportation and electrification links to access remote areas where these deposits may be located. The Canadian Chrome Company is a registered business style of KWG Resources.

In respect of chromite, KWG is the owner of 100 per cent of the Black Horse chromite project (formerly part of Fancamp's Koper Lake-McFaulds properties) in which Bold Ventures Inc. is carried through exploration of the former Fancamp claims for 10 per cent of the chromite project. KWG also holds other area interests including a 100-per-cent interest in the Hornby claims, a 15-per-cent vested interest in the McFaulds copper/zinc project and a vested 30-per-cent interest in the Big Daddy chromite project.

KWG also owns 100 per cent of Canada Chrome Corp. which staked mining claims between Aroland, Ont. (near Nakina), and the Ring of Fire. The subsidiary has conducted a surveying and mineral and soil testing program to explore for minerals and to assess the prospects for the engineering and construction of a railway or other transportation facility along that route between the Ring of Fire and Aroland, Ont., covering the claims staked by the subsidiary. The subsidiary identified deposits of aggregate along the route and made application for 32 aggregate extraction permits. The subsidiary engaged Cormorant Utilities and Rail-Veyor Technologies for engineering proposals for the construction of a transportation and utility corridor within the route to connect the Ring of Fire area to transportation and electrification systems which run through Nakina, Ont. (near Aroland), connecting to Southern Ontario and the rest of Canada and has received those proposals. Those proposals include electrification systems connecting to several first nations communities in the James Bay Lowlands including in the Ring of Fire area.

KWG has also acquired intellectual property interests, including a lower cost and reduced carbon method for the direct reduction of chromite to metalized iron and chrome using natural gas. KWG subsidiary Muketi Metallurgical LP has acquired two chromite-refining patents in Canada and one in each of the USA, South Africa and Kazakhstan, and is prosecuting an application in Turkey.
