Geomega Resources (TSX-V:GMA) CEO Kiril Mugerman talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company’s bauxite residue technology and its potential global impact. In the interview, Mugerman explained how Geomega is addressing the 200 million tonnes of bauxite residue generated annually, with over 4.5 billion tonnes currently stored globally. He detailed the company's clean technology solution designed to convert this industrial waste into value. "This is a technology for bauxite residues," Mugerman said, describing how the waste, which results from aluminum refining, can be treated instead of being left to accumulate in storage ponds. Mugerman highlighted Geomega’s joint development agreement with Rio Tinto, valued at C$4.5 million, to build a demonstration plant in Saguenay, Quebec. Although the timeline is controlled by Rio Tinto, the goal is to complete the project within approximately two years. The CEO also spoke about presenting bench-scale results in China, which demonstrated over 90% residue volume reduction and successful performance across six different bauxite residue sources. The next step is to scale to a demonstration plant. “A major company gave the green light to do the next scale up, which is exciting,” he noted. Mugerman also emphasized the role of government support in advancing the technology readiness level, helping position Geomega for future commercial agreements.
