MONTREAL, Québec (FSCwire) - Argex Titanium Inc. (TSX: RGX) (“Argex”) and Fanchem Ltd, a subsidiary of PVS Chemical Inc., a Michigan-based private corporation, are pleased to announce the execution of a Letter of Intent for the marketing of products to be manufactured in the commercial Argex titanium dioxide (TiO₂) process. The agreement addresses a long-term arrangement for the sale and marketing of iron chloride, iron sulfate, iron oxide and magnesium sulfate which result from the optimized process for manufacture of pigment grade TiO₂. The total volume of by-products from the Argex 100,000 tonnes TiO₂ facility will exceed 190,000 tonnes per year.

“This is an important agreement for Argex as it secures an essential commercial outlet for products that are created in our production of titanium dioxide in our commercial facilities. It demonstrates that the Argex technology is environmentally friendly as the output is saleable to established users.  It gives Argex access to established market demand which will accelerate our ability to gain advantage for our commercial facilities. We look forward to a long-term relationship with PVS Fanchem Ltd, which will be beneficial to both companies” said Mazen Alnaimi, Chairman and CEO of Argex.
