KWG Resources Inc., which carries on business as The Canadian Chrome Company (“CCC”, “KWG” or the “Company”), is pleased to announce the publication of its Ring of Fire Infrastructure Compilation Map, which includes its proposed “Utility Corridor” for constructing transportation and electrification systems through the James Bay Lowlands from Nakina, Ontario, to the Company’s Black Horse chromite discovery, a distance of 330 kilometers. The compilation plan is set out above and will be republished shortly to include electricity transmission line locations to the area’s remote communities.
The Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Canada Chrome Corporation (the “Subsidiary”), staked 1,685 claims in 2009 and 2010 along what the Company believes to be the most suitable terrain for constructing transportation and electrification systems through the James Bay Lowlands from Nakina, Ontario, to the Company’s properties in the Ring of Fire, a distance of 330 kilometers. The Subsidiary staked 1,685 claims in 2009 and 2010 and then conducted a surveying and mineral and soil testing program to explore for minerals and assess the prospects for the engineering and construction of a railroad or other transportation facility along that route. The Subsidiary identified deposits of aggregate along the route and made an application under the Aggregates Act (Ontario) for 32 aggregate extraction permits to supply from local sources along the route the aggregate needed for construction of the roadbed and other facilities. Then, in 2021, the Company and its Subsidiary engaged Cormorant Utilities and Rail-Veyor Technologies to prepare Engineering Proposals for the construction of transportation and utility systems along the route of the proposed Utility Corridor to connect the Ring of Fire area to the trans-Canada transportation system and the Ontario power grid, which run through Nakina, Ontario (near Aroland). The proposals include electrification systems connecting from the Utility Corridor to several First Nations communities in the James Bay Lowlands in the Ring of Fire area.
About The Canadian Chrome Company:
KWG is an exploration-stage company that is focused on large-scale and often remote deposits of minerals, including chromite, base metals, and strategic minerals, and, where applicable, on the development of transportation links where these deposits may be located. In respect of chromite, KWG is the owner of 100% of the Black Horse chromite project, in which Bold Ventures Inc. is carried through exploration for 10%. KWG also holds other area interests, including a 100% interest in the Hornby claims, a 15% vested interest in the McFaulds copper/zinc project, and a vested 30% interest in the Big Daddy chromite project. KWG also owns 100% of Canada Chrome Corporation, a registered business style of KWG Resources Inc. (the “Subsidiary”), which staked mining claims between Aroland, Ontario (near Nakina), and the Ring of Fire. The Subsidiary has conducted a surveying, mineral, and soil testing program to explore for minerals and assess the prospects for the engineering and construction of a railroad along that route between the Ring of Fire and Aroland. The Subsidiary identified deposits of aggregate along the route and made applications for 32 aggregate extraction permits. The Subsidiary engaged Cormorant Utilities and Rail-Veyor Technologies for Engineering Proposals, which it has received, for the construction of a transportation and utility corridor within the route, to connect the Ring of Fire area to the transportation and electrification systems of southern Ontario and the rest of Canada. 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 method for the direct reduction of chromite to metallized 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.
