For Investors
INTRODUCTION
Quay Magnesium Limited (QMG) is a company based in
Sydney, Australia, established to invest in the magnesium
alloy sector. It is listed on the Australian Stock
Exchange (ASX Code: QMG).
The Nanjing plant currently is capable of producing 25,000 tonne of magnesium alloys per annum (t.p.a.).
The plant comprises a 25,000 t.p.a. production
module, using a single refining unit and twin casting lines.
The
factory building is large enough to accommodate a 50,000
t.p.a. facility via construction of another refining
and casting module. In addition, the Nanjing
site is approximately 60,000 square metres and has
ample room for further expansion of alloy production,
or the construction of other facilities related to
magnesium production or die casting.
GLOBAL MAGNESIUM MARKET
Quay supplies the consumers of high quality magnesium
alloys that die cast automotive components, lightweight
electronic equipment. Through advanced production
techniques, strict product quality control and close
collaboration with customers, Quay is well positioned
to take advantage of the rapidly growing market demand for quality magnesium alloy.
The recent trend of sustained higher oil prices, combined
with an increasing focus on reducing greenhouse gas
emissions, has prompted automotive manufacturers to
seek fuel efficiencies more aggressively. As this leads
to further pressure to reduce vehicle weight, Quay
anticipates the stimulation of a greater demand for
magnesium alloys.

WHAT DIFFERENTIATES QUAY MAGNESIUM?
The suite of technologies Quay Magnesium has chosen
is well proven and robust.
The production process adopted has the advantage
of being modular and therefore easy to expand to meet
market demand.
The plant is located at the city of Nanjing, some
270 km west of Shanghai, China. The city is large,
well serviced and provides a suitably skilled local
work force. The location also offers significant advantages
over most other alternative locations around the world,
providing access to large quantities of primary magnesium
metal, competitive operating costs, and a significantly
lower tax rate. Most of China’s automotive
industry is located in a corridor running between Nanjing
and Shanghai.
