VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA / TheNewswire / January 17, 2017 - Nevada Clean Magnesium, Inc. (TSXV: NVM; Frankfurt-M1V; OTC Pink Sheets: MLYFF) (the "Company") announce that ScanMag AS of Norway has requested a 6 month extension of the technical joint venture agreement to raise the funds needed to fulfill their investment obligation to NCM.

Upon receiving the request, the NCM board of directors met and unanimously agreed to grant ScanMag the extension with the the condition that ScanMag make monthly payments over the period of the extension. These payments will be due the end of each month starting January 30, 2017. These payments are independent of ScanMag's initial $2 Million USD commitment. ScanMag has scheduled a board meeting for after the first week of February to discuss and will respond thereafter.

The previous extensions were at the request of ScanMag in order to look at ways of reducing their OPEX. After discussions with NCM's technical group, ScanMag offered to pay for Nevada Clean's advanced testing on the alternate reductant. This work was finished and the results were very successful.

Edward Lee, CEO stated, "We expect that ScanMag will be able to fullfill their financial obligations to NCM, keep in mind that ScanMag searched out NCM to avail themselves of NCM's process and technical data as a critical component of ScanMag's project in Norway. The onus is on ScanMag to get their monies to NCM in order to proceed. NCM will not be sharing any further technical information with ScanMag, until they meet their financial commitments to NCM."
