KWG Resources (CSE:CACR), operating as The Canadian Chrome Company, signed a memorandum of understanding with Maclaine Watson & Co, a British private investment and trading house, to pursue chrome trading on the London Metal Exchange (LME).

Maclaine Watson, founded in the early 1800s, brings generations of experience trading in metals, sugar and rubber across London, Indonesia and Singapore, and was until 1985 a ring-dealing member of the LME.

The companies will file a joint application to resume Maclaine Watson’s seat on the exchange with eyes on capitalizing on KWG’s strong Ontario-based portfolio, including:

  • The Black Horse chromite project, which features an inferred resource of 85.9 million tons grading 34.5 per cent Cr2O3.
  • A 30 per cent stake in the Big Daddy claims, housing 23.3 million tons at 32.1 per cent Cr2O3 measured and 5.8 million tons grading 30.1 per cent Cr2O3 indicated.

Both Canada and the United States recognize chromium as a critical mineral, with the metal’s growing global market exceeding US$23 billion in 2024 thanks to its diverse applications across plating, paints and dyes, refractory technology and stainless steel.

Thursday’s news release on KWG’s expanding international presence follows the company’s election into the USA Defense Industrial Base Consortium in January 2025.
