These guys may have something interesting and moving shortly...
---------
The project involves extraction and production of magnesium metal from the fly ash produced in the generation of power from brown coal deposits in the Latrobe Valley. Latrobe Valley brown coal ash is unique in having significant magnesium content.
Ash currently being produced would be combined with ash contained in the tailings dams. A feasibility study will evaluate the potential to commission a plant having a capacity to produce up to 100,000 tonnes of magnesium metal per annum.
Previous test work has established the concept of dissolving the magnesium from the ash. It is believed that the current ash production in the Latrobe Valley, combined with the existing ash tailings, has the potential to support a 100,000 tonnes per annum magnesium metal project for a minimum life of 20 years

Pre feas study scheduled for completion 31 March 2010.
