TRU has probably the world’s strongest capability in magnesium metal*and downstream products. One of the reasons for this is that TRU president and our other consultants have spent many years employed in the magnesium industry.* There has not been a new commercial-scale magnesium plant built in the west for decades [despite attempts that were technical failures] and China dominates magnesium supply. Our team for years has been active
in China, providing technical and marketing advice to several operations as well as in the west, providing application expertise to users in Europe, North America and Middle East. TRU in the last twelve months was engaged on –
Project Due Diligence
Investor Due Diligence on behalf of potential investors for the $600 million Egyptian Magnesium Company electrolytic magnesium smelter and alloy plant. In particular TRU conducted a technical evaluation of what was stated to be the DOW magnesium process (magnesite rather than sea water) and assessed the plans for production of magnesium alloys. TRU also evaluated and re-stated the marketing and financial plan, and modified the financial model.
Bankable Feasibility Study Magnesium Metal Complex
TRU conducted a detailed bankable feasibility study involving all aspects technical, engineering, business TRU President on left in photo with client at Taiyuan China Magnesium Smelter

Price, Supply-Demand Forecasting
For a number of clients TRU has provided custom magnesium price forecasts through 2013. This TRU forecast took into account production cost differences between China and the west, import and dumping duties in the United States, and several other determining factors such as global magnesium supply-demand. TRU monitors the magnesium market and is especially in touch with the magnesium industry in China through our
strong China Beijing presence.
TRU undertook a bankable feasibility study of a magnesium Extrusion and High Pressure Die Casting Plant as part of a magnesium metal smelting and alloy smelter. This involved the TRU technical and business team designing and specifying all aspects of the plant. A full business plan requiring bankable feasibility accuracy was prepared.
Magnesium Minerals and Magnesium Process Related TRU has also undertaken several magnesium ore assignments, for example, dolomite exploration & mining, mineral process development on other magnesium minerals such as magnesite, serpentine, carnelite, brucite, huntite, calcite and sea water. For example, in the last year TRU was engaged on -
TRU is expert on magnesium production using conventional pidgeon, russian, Dow, chinese, magnola, and western technology as well as the experimental and "improved"
processes under development such as Orion Laboratories, Zuliani and MINTEK. We have also studied dolime [intermediate dolomite calcining kiln product], ferrosilicon [required in Pidgeon process magnesium smelting process], retort manufacturing plant design, coal coke-oven-gas / coal gasifier [used extensively in China as the fuel in the retort furnaces], magnesium
applications [including lithium-magnesium cells].
* TRU has probably the Worlds Most Qualified Magnesium Team -

Plant Bankable Feasibility
feedstock. TRU
has been engaged for some time on technical studies to determine the amenability of the brucite to Pidgeon process production of magnesium metal, as well as undertaking a feasibility study. Calcined lime will also be produced as a bi-product for regional construction project. Local coal is being investigated by TRU as an energy source
(conversion to coke-oven-gas and coal coke). In 2012 TRU is
conducting commercial scale pilot testing of the Romanian brucite in
China. This and further update analysis will end in a detailed
bankable study to be completed by mid-year 2012.
