VanadiumCorp Provides Overview of Lac Laura Gold Property

The most recent news release, dated October 20, 2025, provides an overview of VanadiumCorp Resource Inc.'s Lac Laura Gold Property. This release expands on previous mentions of Lac Laura, particularly the October 15, 2025, update which indicated that a detailed update on the property would be forthcoming.

The overview highlights historical exploration data for the Lac Laura Property, located in Quebec, Canada, focusing on gold and copper potential. It mentions previous exploration activities conducted by Minnova (a Falconbridge subsidiary), including geophysics, stripping, sampling, underground development, and drilling. The company explicitly states that any historical estimates related to the property are not compliant with National Instrument 43-101 and should not be relied upon. VanadiumCorp's future plans for the property involve compiling all available data for a future exploration program and targeting assessment.

This news is a routine, positive update. It provides additional detail on the Lac Laura Property, fulfilling the company's commitment from the October 15, 2025, release to provide a "detailed update." By outlining historical work and future plans, it demonstrates ongoing activity and evaluation of a secondary asset. However, the impact is limited by several factors: 1. Exploration Stage: Lac Laura is still in the early exploration phase, with the company focused on data compilation and targeting. 2. Historical Estimates: The explicit disclaimer that historical estimates are not NI 43-101 compliant means they cannot be relied upon for investment decisions, thus limiting the perceived value of the historical data presented. 3. Primary Focus Elsewhere: The company's primary strategic focus, as reiterated in previous releases, remains on its Lac Doré vanadium-titanium-iron project and the VEPT technology for vanadium electrolyte production. While Lac Laura offers diversification into gold/copper, it is not currently the main value driver. 4. No New Discovery: The news does not announce any new discoveries, resource estimates, or significant milestones that would materially alter the company's financial or operational outlook in the short term. It's a step in a long process.

In the context of the company's continuous need for financing and the operational issues at its electrolyte plant noted in July 2024 (which have not been fully addressed in recent news regarding resolution), this property overview provides some positive narrative but does not address the core financial and operational challenges.

Vanadiumcorp Resource Inc. (VRB) is a Canadian critical metals exploration and technology company. Its primary assets and strategic focus include: * Lac Doré Property (Quebec, Canada): The flagship mineral property, recognized as one of North America's premier undeveloped vanadium-titanium-iron mineral resources. The company is engaged in exploration to update its geological understanding and resource model, with the ultimate goal of securing a long-term feedstock for its processing technology. * VanadiumCorp Electrochem Process Technology (VEPT): A proprietary hydrometallurgical process (100% owned) for extracting vanadium, iron, and titanium from various feedstocks, including vanadiferous titanomagnetite. The technology aims for low-energy consumption and reduced environmental impact. VEPT has been granted patents in five countries (USA, South Africa, Australia, India, and Canada) with an application pending in Europe. * Electrolyte Production Plant (Val-des-Sources, Quebec): A facility designed to produce high-purity vanadium electrolytes for use in Vanadium Redox Flow Batteries (VRFBs). The initial plant (Plant No. 1) had an expected annual capacity of up to 350,000 litres (approximately 6.8 MWh of energy storage). Scoping studies are complete for a larger Plant No. 2 (4-8 million litres/year capacity). * Iron-T Project (Quebec, Canada): Another vanadium-titanium deposit, wholly owned, with historical resource estimates, currently undergoing data compilation and re-evaluation. * Lac Laura Property (Quebec, Canada): A gold and copper exploration property.

The company's strategy is dual-pronged: developing its critical mineral resources in Quebec (Lac Doré, Iron-T) and commercializing its VEPT technology and vanadium electrolyte production for the expanding long-duration energy storage market.
