Sets stage for Commercialization of Revolutionary Technology for the Production of Green Magnesium Metal in the U.S.

Western Magnesium Corporation (TSXV:WMG; Frankfurt-M1V; OTCQB:MLYF) ("Western Magnesium" or the “Company”) announced today it has signed a three-year capital commitment with New York-based GEM Global Yield LLC SCS. The deal will make available C$210 million (US$150 million) for Western Magnesium to use at its discretion, subject to terms, in its pursuit to commercialize production of high-grade magnesium metal. The funding accelerates Western Magnesium’s development of a commercial reactor and the acquisition of plant and equipment key to production.

“Magnesium metal represents the next wave of technological advancement in American manufacturing,” says Sam Ataya, CEO of Western Magnesium. “This financing puts us on the road to realizing our vision of restoring American manufacturing leadership by providing a safe, domestic supply of magnesium metal that is a lower cost, greener and higher quality than what is currently available in international markets today.” Ataya continued, “The structure of the deal gives us tremendous flexibility to support our vision in a timely, cost-effective manner that can be drawn against as warranted and needed.”

Western Magnesium's proprietary technology is based on a modified silicothermic process, which is a continuous production process requiring less manpower and delivering increased throughput and production times through its closed, contained system.

Western Magnesium’s continuous production process offers new efficiencies, a greener approach and the ability to place reactors in the heart of first-world demand. “This opens the door to the type of innovation that makes a manufacturing renaissance in the United States possible,” says Ataya.

Through this Share Subscription Facility, Western Magnesium will issue 33 million warrants with an exercise price of CDN$0.26.

This funding facility is subject to approval by the TSX Venture Exchange.
