Driftwood Creek Magnesite Update

A close spaced eight hole diamond drill program and land survey were recently completed at the East Zone of Driftwood Creek for the purpose of delineating an initial mining block and NI 43-101 Resource Estimate, which is currently underway. The Company plans to dovetail the Resource Estimate into a result dependent Mine Plan for the purpose of applying for a Mining and Reclamation Permit for an Industrial Mineral (Magnesite) under the British Columbia Mines Act.

About Magnesite

Magnesite in its purest form is 47.6% Magnesia aka Magnesium Oxide ("MgO"). Magnesite generally serves as an excellent feedstock for the production of MgO. MgO in turn is a valuable and widely used industrial mineral. Uses of MgO include abrasives, animal feed supplements, chemicals, coatings, construction, electrical, fertilizers, foundries, glass manufacture, insulation, lubricating oils, pharmaceuticals, plastics manufacture, refractory and ceramics, rubber compounding, steel industry, sugar refining, sulfite wood pulping, and wastewater treatment. At this time MGX is focused on the refractory and steel industries.
