NOT FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES OR TO U.S. PERSONS OR FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWSWIRE SERVICES.

Vancouver, British Columbia – January 17, 2024 – VanadiumCorp Resource Inc. (TSX-V: VRB) (FSE: NWNA) (OTC:

VRBFF) ("VanadiumCorp" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that Mr. Mario Drolet, B.A. (1986) has joined the

Board of Directors of the Company effective today.

Mr. Drolet joins VanadiumCorp with a 30-year history of finance, derivatives trading, and corporate communications.

Mr. Drolet is well known in the Québec financial and university communities. He has served as an advisor to all mining

industry sectors, including vanadium and iron ore companies.

In the last year, we sought to recruit Québec-based directors, board advisors, officers, and technical personnel. On

October 23, the Company added the Honorable Christian Paradis, previously the Federal Minister of Mines and Energy,

to the Board of Directors as an independent director. With Mr. Drolet, we now have two independent Québec directors

able to guide VanadiumCorp in its relationships with government, community, and investor stakeholders.

Paul McGuigan, CEO of the Company, stated: "We are delighted to have Mario join the VanadiumCorp team. His

impressive leadership background in finance and corporate communications will be invaluable to the Board as the

Company seeks to realize our strategy of commencing production of vanadium electrolytes in Val-des-Sources, Québec

in Q1 2024 and advancing on our strategic vanadium, titanium, and iron mineral resource at Lac Doré, Québec."

Mario Drolet stated, "I am honored to join VanadiumCorp's Board of Directors and excited to contribute to the

Company's strategic vision and growth. I look forward to collaborating with the talented team in achieving shared

success."

About VanadiumCorp Resource Inc.

VanadiumCorp Resource Inc. seeks to produce a reliable stream of high-quality vanadium electrolytes for the expanding

international market for long-duration Vanadium Flow Batteries (VFB). The Company's initial manufacturing facility is

based in Val-des-Sources, Québec. Stable, long-term access to vanadium feedstock to produce electrolytes is assured,

success-contingent on developing our wholly owned vanadium-titanium-iron mineral deposits, including our flagship

Lac Doré deposit near Chibougamau, Québec.
