Otmane El Rhazi : KWG on track to secure N American patents for novel chromite reduction process

Otmane El Rhazi from Mining Weekly | Ferrous Metals Home.



Chromite explorer KWG Resources has received an international search report from the US Patent Office's International Searching Authority that had concluded the company’s application to patent a new process for the direct reduction of chromite using natural gas, a carbon reductant and a catalyst formulation was original. The search report indicated that KWG’s claims were novel and that prior art did not teach or fairly suggest anything similar. The report also indicated that the claims had industrial applicability as defined by Patent Cooperation Treaty Article 33(4), because the subject matter could be made or used in industry.
