CleanTech Vanadium Reports up to 12.9 g/t Gold in Quartz Surface Samples and Presents a Conceptual Starter Pit at Its El Triunfo Gold Project in Bolivia

CleanTech Vanadium Mining Corp. announced surface sampling and historical drilling results from its El Triunfo Gold Project in Bolivia. Surface samples returned up to 12.9 g/t Au, with additional anomalous float and mine dump samples ranging from 0.57 to 2.78 g/t Au.

Historical drill intercepts were highlighted, including: * 98.9m at 0.37 g/t Au in hole TR-007 in the West Block * 77.3m at 0.31 g/t Au in hole TR-008 in the West Block * 25.7m at 0.32 g/t Au in hole TR-013 in the East Block

A conceptual starter pit was modeled for the West Block based on 4 drill holes and 122 surface samples, with dimensions of 274m strike, 105m width, and 20m depth. The company plans to rehabilitate historical tunnels for bulk sampling and metallurgical testing. No mineral resources or reserves have been estimated, and no preliminary economic assessment has been completed. CleanTech holds an option to acquire 100% interest in the project, previously assigned by Silver Elephant in 2025.

Cleantech Vanadium Mining Corp. (CTV) released data representing early-stage exploration activity focused on historical records and surface sampling rather than new, company-conducted drilling. The conceptual starter pit remains preliminary, lacking a resource estimate, metallurgical validation, or economic modeling. True widths for many intercepts are estimated at 45% to 78% of downhole lengths, introducing geological uncertainty.

The announcement follows a $500,000 dilutive private placement on Oct 13 and does not materially change the company's near-term cash position or development timeline. Jurisdictional risk in Bolivia remains elevated, and the project is in the earliest phases of evaluation compared to the company's primary focus on Kentucky fluorspar and Nevada vanadium.

Cleantech Vanadium Mining Corp. is a mineral exploration and development company focused on critical minerals for energy storage, semiconductors, and industrial applications. The company is strategically pivoting toward fluorspar and vanadium, divesting non-core zinc-germanium-gallium assets to focus on critical mineral supply chains.

Its flagship projects include the Gibellini Vanadium Project in Nevada, USA, an open-pit vanadium deposit with an inferred resource of ~195 Mlbs V2O5. A feasibility study and PEA/FS updates are in preparation, following a positive EIS ROD received from the BLM in 2023. The Campbell-Crotser Fluorspar Project in Kentucky, USA, involves an underground mine and processing plant targeting acid-grade fluorspar. It is currently in the permitting phase, with a target submission in Nov 2026 and first product delivery in 2028. Additionally, the El Triunfo Gold Project in Bolivia is an early-stage gold exploration site with historical drilling and surface sampling. A conceptual pit has been modeled, but there is no resource estimate yet.
