(TheNewswire)

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA / TheNewswire / October 17, 2017 - Nevada Clean Magnesium, Inc. (TSXV: NVM; Frankfurt-M1V; OTCQB: MLYFF) (the "Company") is pleased to announce a major milestone in the testing of its bench scale pilot furnace.

The furnace achieved an operating temperature of 1,250 degrees Celsius within an acceptable time under low pressure with argon flow.(Thermal reductant processing parameters can typically be difficult to reach and sustain.) With the furnace at operating temperature, the insulation design was also assessed and proven successful.

Together with processing the dolomite into a magnesium crown, additional information will be gained:

1.Assessment of alternate reductants at larger scale;
2.Confirmation of furnace performance and product recovery
3.Generation of waste residue for evaluation in alternative applications such as portland cement, fire resistant wall board and soil remediation.

James Sever, COO states, "At the conclusion of the current test program, this furnace will be modified into a small production furnace to prove newly developed condenser concepts. We will also evaluate design approaches to recover energy from waste streams in an effort to further decrease operating costs."

Ed Lee CEO states, "We are excited to finally be at the point of processing the dolomite from the Tami Mosi magnesium deposit in order to provide "proof of concept. Once the process testing is complete, we will begin fund raising for the prefeasibility study then proceed toward a continuous process. The Board of directors are very pleased with the results from the long task that James Sever has endured in achieving this major milestone of a fully functional piece of equipment."

Mr. Lee goes on to say, "The project economics are based solely upon magnesium metal production. Even though residue streams from the reduction process have the potential to generate significant revenues; including them into the economics at this time would increase the complexity of the project and would distort the true benefits of our approach. We are intent on being fully competitive with the Chinese based solely on magnesium metal production. Sale of co-products from our waste streams would then be seen as a bonus. We have always known what our co-products potentials to be, but want the markets to be clear what our primary goal is, profitably producing magnesium metal within the United States of America."

Readers are cautioned that the preliminary economic assessment is preliminary in nature, that it includes inferred mineral resources that are considered too speculative geologically to have the economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves, and there is no certainty that the preliminary economic assessment will be realized. Actual results from further test work my differ materially from those currently anticipated.
