AES to Power Congo Magnesium Project
LCG, Sept. 13, 2000A Canadian company that refines magnesium and AES Corp., the big U.S. independent power producer, have signed an agreement for an AES subsidiary to take care of the energy end of a project to develop a magnesium project in West-Central Africa.William B.

The project will produce magnesium metal and alloys at what is said to be one of the world's richest magnesium salt deposits.The Republic of Congo is a portion of the former French Equatorial Africa.
