Latrobe Magnesium (ASX: LMG) produces world's first sustainable magnesium oxide from fly ash (w/ David Paterson)

Latrobe Magnesium (ASX: LMG) chief executive officer David Paterson joins Small Caps to discuss the company's success in producing a world first batch of magnesium oxide from fly ash, a waste resource from local brown coal power generation in Victoria.

The recent successful commissioning of the first phase of its 1000-tonnes per annum Stage 1 demonstration plant in Victoria and the production of the magnesium oxide has demonstrated Latrobe's unique technology, while bringing in a capital via the sale of the environmentally friendly product.

The early-stage magnesium oxide production is being sold under an agreement to WA-based specialist company Rainstorm Dust Control.

After achieving this initial success, Latrobe is now focused on undertaking a bankable feasibility study and financing discussions in relation to a 10,000-tonnes per annum Stage 2 commercial plant.

Latrobe's hydromet technology extracts magnesium from brown coal fly ash and ferro-nickel slag tailings and converts the unwanted waste resource into saleable products.

The company is able to produce magnesium while emitting 60% less CO2 than the industry average.

Sun Silver (ASX: SS1) shines bright with record breaking IPO and ASX listing (w/ Gerard O'Donovan)

Sun Silver (ASX: SS1) executive director Gerard O'Donovan joins Small Caps to discuss the company's listing on the ASX today after completing a record breaking, $13 million initial public offering (IPO).

Backed by a highly regarded board and management team and a world-class silver asset, Sun Silver smashed the record for the fastest IPO raising on the Automic Investor Portal, hitting its capital raising target almost a month ahead of schedule.

That saw the company gain its ASX listing significantly in advance of expectations and with a very healthy market cap of $25 million.

Those funds will now be directed towards the commercialisation of the rich Maverick Springs project in the well-known US mining jurisdiction of Nevada.

Sun Silver is looking to take advantage of Maverick Spring's large, high-grade JORC compliant mineral resource of 292 million ounces of silver equivalent at 72.4 grams per tonne silver and a very strong silver market that is being boosted by the precious metal's growing use in the renewable energy sector.

QMines (ASX: QML) unveils robust PFS results for Mt Chalmers copper-gold mine (w/ Andrew Sparke)

QMines (ASX: QML) chairman Andrew Sparke joins Small Caps to discuss the company's receipt of positive news from a pre-feasibility study (PFS) of its proposed development of the Mt Chalmers copper and gold mine in Queensland.

A significant milestone for QMines, the PFS result demonstrates Mt Chalmers is a

project with scale and potential for development.

The study also confirmed significant growth options within the Sulphide City, Scorpion and Woods Shaft deposits not currently in the mine plan.

Importantly, studies confirmed Mt Chalmers can be commercialised using industry standard treatment processes and techniques, providing low-cost development options at a time when gold and copper prices are surging.
