SnapshotRecord Ridge is a premier advanced-stage project with strong economic potential, supported by a Pre-Feasibility Study for the Record Ridge Magnesia Production Plant.

It features a proprietary process that produces high-purity (>99%) MgO and Mg(OH)2 with valuable nickel and silica byproducts. The project is designed to utilize a sustainable, waste-free process with minimal to no emissions.

In August 2024, the British Columbia Environmental Assessment Office (EAO) ruled that the project requires a full environmental assessment due to its planned production capacity. In response, WHY Resources proposed reducing output to 63,500 tonnes annually to avoid the requirement, a move criticized by local groups.

As of November 2024, discussions between the company, regulators, and community stakeholders continue to address environmental concerns.

Summary:

The Record Ridge area is located within the Quesnel Terrain of the Intermontane Belt. It is comprised of a highly deformed Jurassic (180 Ma) age volcanic island arc-back arc basin complex intruded by Tertiary volcanic and plutonic rocks.

Mineralization containing economically significant concentrations of Mg is known to occur in the ultramafic rocks which have undergone serpentinization. This rock type makes up the predominant lithology described at the Project, and occurs widespread. Lower concentrations of Mg within the serpentinite are present in dioritic intrusive rocks and lenses of andesite/gabbro.
