VanadiumCorp Initiates Staged Technical Program Toward NI 43-101

Report for Lac Laura Gold-Copper Property

Vancouver, British Columbia – TheNewswire – Feb. 25, 2026 – VanadiumCorp Resource

Inc. (TSX-V: VRB | FSE: NWNA | OTC: VRBFF) (“VanadiumCorp” or the “Company”)is

pleased to provide an update on its ongoing evaluation of the Lac Laura Property, located in

Lévy Township near Chapais, Québec.

Further to the Company’s news release dated October 20, 2025, VanadiumCorp confirms

that it is advancing the selection of independent qualified geological and engineering

consultants to support the preparation of a technical report for the Lac Laura Property in

accordance with National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral

Projects (“NI 43-101”) and Form 43-101F1.

Staged Technical Approach

The Company intends to advance the Lac Laura Property using a staged, gated technical

approach designed to prioritize comprehensive data compilation and geological

interpretation prior to defining any potential field-based exploration programs.

Upon completion of consultant selection, the initial NI 43-101 technical work is expected

to include the following phases:

Phase 1 – Data Compilation and Verification

Compilation and review of available historical and more recent datasets, including

geophysical surveys, drilling records, sampling information, assay data, and related

technical documentation. This phase will include assessment of data quality, metadata

consistency, coordinate systems, and historical QA/QC procedures. Where possible,

verification procedures consistent with NI 43-101 requirements will be undertaken.

Phase 2 – Integrated Geological and Geophysical Reinterpretation

Integrated reinterpretation of available geophysical datasets, including modern processing

or inversion where appropriate, combined with structural and geological reinterpretation

based on drilling and surface data. The objective is to develop a coherent three-

dimensional geological model and to identify and prioritize areas warranting potential

follow-up work.

Phase 3 – Target Validation (If Warranted)

If supported by earlier phases, limited site visits or focused verification activities may be

conducted to assess priority areas identified through reinterpretation.

Phase 4 – Targeted Exploration (Subject to Results)

Consideration of limited and targeted exploration programs, including drilling, would only

proceed if earlier phases support clearly defined areas of interest and subject to financing,

permitting, and Board approval.

The initial NI 43-101 technical report is expected to document the results of Phases 1 and 2

and provide independent recommendations regarding potential next steps. The Company

does not anticipate the inclusion of mineral resource or mineral reserve estimates in the

initial report unless sufficient work is completed to satisfy all NI 43-101 requirements.

Property Status

The Lac Laura Property remains at the exploration stage and does not currently host any

mineral resources or mineral reserves compliant with NI 43-101. The Company is not

treating any historical information as current mineral resources or mineral reserves.

Advancement of the project remains subject to technical evaluation, financing, permitting,

and market conditions.

Strategic Context

The staged approach reflects VanadiumCorp’s broader asset optimization strategy. Under

this framework, non-core assets are evaluated using capital-disciplined methodologies

designed to preserve optionality while limiting financial exposure. The Company’s primary

strategic focus remains the advancement of its vanadium-iron-titanium (“VTM”) projects

and downstream vanadium electrolyte initiatives supporting vanadium redox flow battery

(“VRFB”) markets.

Qualified Person

The scientific and technical information contained in this news release has been reviewed

and approved by André Gauthier, P .Geo., a Qualified Person as defined under NI 43-101 and

a director of the Company.

The Company has relied on historical technical information prepared by previous operators

and third parties. A Qualified Person has not yet completed sufficient work to fully verify all

historical exploration data referenced. Verification of key datasets, including drilling,

sampling, analytical procedures, and QA/QC protocols, is expected to form part of the

Phase 1 data compilation and review process described above.
