MONTREAL, Feb. 3 /CNW/ - KWG Resources Inc. (TSXV: KWG) announces that a historic milestone was achieved this morning when the first high carbon ferrochrome was produced in a test melt of the Big Daddy chromite bulk sample. The pilot plant test was conducted at the Xstrata Process Support facility in Falconbridge, Ontario, an independent and certified testing facility engaged by KWG to undertake metallurgical analysis of a bulk sample of material from the Big Daddy chromite deposit, as previously announced.
