Corporate Operations Officially Move to Washington D.C. Office

The Company's corporate headquarters, now based in the Washington D.C. metro area, will focus on expanding the industrial supply of clean magnesium metal produced in the United States. This effort not only accelerates the United States economic recovery, but also, reduces foreign dependency on critical components made from magnesium that is vital in strengthening our infrastructure and continued growth of our gross domestic product.

WMC's first full-scale commercial plant will be in Harrison County, Ohio, and leadership is currently working to select future plant locations in the United States.

Sam Ataya, Executive President and CEO said, "The proximity of our new head office positions us to work closely with industries including auto, aerospace, airline, the U.S. Government, and the Department of Defense. We look forward to working closely with our shareholders in Canada and the United States as we continue to build out operations that will place us on the frontlines to become the reliable source for clean magnesium."

Peter O'Rourke Sr., President, U.S. Operations said, "We have a tremendous opportunity to work together with policy makers at the local, state, and Federal level that will help educate and inform decisions on national security and supply chain matters as it relates to clean magnesium production. This will ultimately ensure that we continue to build an America that is safe and prosperous as we unveil a new chapter of American ingenuity."
