Western Magnesium Corporation (WMC) has announced its move into a brand-new, state-of-the-art facility spanning 44,000 square feet, located 20 minutes from the Las Vegas Strip. This facility will serve as the new home for the company’s fully revamped Demonstration Plant, a significant upgrade designed to accelerate prototyping, showcase next-generation processes, and support scaled production and testing of eco-friendly magnesium metal.
Assembly of the Demonstration Plant is now underway, with a target completion timeline of six months. This fast-tracked schedule underscores the company’s commitment to rapid innovation and execution. The new facility positions WMC at the forefront of sustainable magnesium production, combining world-class infrastructure with a prime location that offers access to major transportation hubs, talent pools, and business networks.
Executive Chairman and CEO Sam Ataya emphasized the strategic importance of the location: “This new facility positions us at the forefront of sustainable magnesium production. 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.”
North Las Vegas Mayor Pamela Goynes-Brown welcomed the company, 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.”
Western Magnesium Corporation is dedicated to becoming a low-cost producer of green, primary magnesium metal using proprietary advanced technology that produces 99.8% pure magnesium directly from the reactor prior to refinement, while minimizing environmental impact. The new Demonstration Plant is expected to play a crucial role in showcasing these capabilities and attracting strategic partnerships.
Further details on the Demonstration Plant’s capabilities and upcoming milestones will be shared as assembly progresses. The company’s move into this facility marks a major milestone in its expansion and operational capabilities, reinforcing its position as a leader in innovative and sustainable magnesium production.
