The QSLM electrolytic magnesium smelter is located at Golmud in Qinghai Province PRC. The smelter has an output capacity of 100,000 metric tonnes per annum and produces the lowest CO2 embedded magnesium in the World. Energy for the complex is supplied from regional hydro facilities (75%), solar (9%) and wind as well as a local thermal power station.<\/p>\n
QSLM is a subsidiary of Qinghai Salt Lake Industry Co Ltd (QSLI), a Chinese State Owned Enterprise that is listed on the Shenzen Stock Exchange (000792). QSLI has been extracting potassium from the Chaerhan Salt Lake systems for over 60 years. The residue from this activity includes a high magnesium and chlorine containing\u00a0deposit. Chinese Government estimates assess these deposits to contain around 4 bn metric tonnes of magnesium. Over the coming years QSLM is expected to grow its output of pure magnesium by building additional capacity at the Golmud site. Magontec Limited, as a close partner company, is expected to continue to operate as the magnesium alloy manufacturer at this site.<\/p>\n
