Best Answer

metallic magnesium is produced by a process very similar to that used for its companion metal aluminium. That is, electrolytically refined using a flux to preserve the reaction. The easy source for magnesium is sea water, preferably warm for economics. And a supply of limestone, also commonly provided by sea shells.
