Vanadiumcorp outlines work on Quebec projects

Executive Summary
- Vanadiumcorp provided a comprehensive update on its flagship Lac Dore and Iron‑T projects, highlighting recent geophysical work and plans to revise historic NI 43‑101 resource estimates.
- The company announced that its proprietary VEPT metal‑recovery technology has received Canadian patent approval and is now being tested in Australia.
- Additional project updates were given for the Lac Laura gold property and the broader strategic positioning of Vanadiumcorp within North American critical‑minerals supply chains.
Key Details
- Lac Dore Project
- Completed an ambient noise tomography (ANT) survey to improve geological understanding and identify deeper targets.
- Working to update the mineral resource model, which will feed a revision of the historical 2020 NI 43‑101 estimate (214.93 Mt @ 24.6% magnetite, 1.3% V₂O₅ ≈ 1.49 bn lb V₂O₅).
-
Goal: enhance resource classification and solidify Lac Dore as one of North America’s largest vanadium deposits.
-
Iron‑T Project
- Compiling and re‑evaluating historical geological, geophysical, and geochemical data; future work will employ AI and advanced geophysics to build a new 3‑D model.
- Historical 2011 NI 43‑101 estimate for the Genesis zone: 14.38 Mt inferred at 0.42% V₂O₅ (historical).
-
Consistent historic drill intercepts, trench samples, and geophysical anomalies suggest comparable metallurgical characteristics to Lac Dore, supporting its potential as a significant vanadium‑titanium source.
-
Lac Laura Property
-
Reviewing historical exploration data (geophysics, sampling, drilling) from the former Minnova/Falconbridge work; a detailed update will be provided in a future release.
-
VEPT Technology Update
- VEPT (Vanadiumcorp Electrochem Process Technology) received Canadian patent approval, expanding IP protection to five countries.
-
Ongoing active testing of VEPT in Australia aims to deliver a low‑energy, environmentally friendly extraction method for vanadium, iron, and titanium across diverse feedstocks.
-
Strategic Context
- Vanadium and titanium are now designated critical minerals in Canada and the United States, positioning Vanadiumcorp to benefit from domestic supply‑chain initiatives and renewable‑energy transitions.
- The company emphasizes its diversified portfolio as a pathway for long‑term value creation amid growing demand for critical minerals in energy storage, clean technology, and defence sectors.
Notable Quotes
- “Our recent geophysical work at Lac Dore and the upcoming AI‑driven modeling at Iron‑T underscore our commitment to advancing world‑class vanadium assets that align with North America’s strategic priorities,” – Kristien Davenport, President & CEO.
