BCF is proud to have accompanied Alliance Magnesium in the financing of its commercial demonstration plant for magnesium production.
This financing of nearly $145 million will support the construction of a plant with a maximum production capacity of 18,000 metric tons per year. The facility will produce primary magnesium ingots using serpentine mining residues, as well as secondary magnesium derived from metal processing industry scrap.
Alliance Magnesium is a Canadian private company offering a clean electrolysis technology approach for the production of metallic magnesium and other valuable minerals contained in serpentine rock.
The matter involved several BCF professionals with expertise in corporate financing, commercial law and strategic transactions.
This collaboration reflects the firm’s integrated approach to supporting innovative businesses and major industrial projects.
As part of this financing, BCF represented Alliance Magnesium with a team led by Gilles Seguin and composed of Martin Sills, Didier Culat, Valérie Charpentier and Anne-Frédérique Bourret.
