Vanadiumcorp Launches Its International Marketing Effort
VANADIUMCORP LAUNCHES ITS INTERNATIONAL MARKETING EFFORT
Vancouver, British Columbia – June 27, 2024 – VanadiumCorp Resource Inc. (TSX-V: VRB) (FSE: NWNA) (OTC:
VRBFF) ("VanadiumCorp" or the "Company). The Company has produced an inventory of high-purity electrolytes at
its Plant No. 1 in Val des Source, Quebec. The operations team has shown the capacity to manufacture to tight
specifications and low impurities, based on the C-Tech electrolyzer system. We are now fielding product calls from
Vanadium Flow Battery OEMs looking for a dependable, Made-in-Canada source of high-purity vanadium electrolytes.
Peter Besenovsky, P.Eng., the CEO of our German subsidiary, Vanadiumcorp GmbH, is attending the International
Flow Battery Forum (IFBF®) this week in Glasgow, UK. Peter reports from the floor of IFBF that Variable Energy
Resources (VER) such as large solar and wind projects are facing severe curtailment on the electrical grids of Europe,
especially Germany. As the share of VER quickly rises, tackling the stability of the grid and full use of renewable
energy will require an exceptionally large complement of long duration energy storage – a strength of the vanadium
flow battery.
Peter leaves the conference for meetings in Europe to introduce VanadiumCorp to industry and government and to
negotiate our first round of electrolyte sales. Vanadium electrolyte production is a key milestone for VanadiumCorp.
Plant No. 1 proves our capacity to build manufacturing plants and will provide sufficient electrolytes to develop our
initial customer base.
The Company's technical team completed scoping-level engineering for a 4 to 8 million litres per year plant. Upon
securing offtake contracts, scoping indicates that about 18 months of detailed engineering, procurement and
construction are required to open Plant No. 2.
Paul McGuigan, P. Geo., CEO of the Company, stated:
"VanadiumCorp has constructed its first electrolyte plant in less than 12 months using mostly in-house technical
staff. We look forward to our next phase of corporate development and commercial production enabled by the
experience of our first plant.”
About the International Flow Battery Forum (IFBF®)
The purpose of the IFBF is to raise the profile of flow batteries in the electrical energy storage sector. The
International Flow Battery Forum (IFBF®) is the leading event for the flow battery community. The IFBF promotes the
most recent developments in the science, technology, and commercialization of flow batteries. Their conferences
cover a broad range of interests in the research and commercial aspects of flow batteries.
About VanadiumCorp Resource Inc.
The Company’s Plant No. 1 is in Val-des-Sources, Québec, at the Carrefour d’Innovation sur les Matériaux de la MRC
des Sources (CIMMS). The Company's website (www.vanadiumcorp.com) displays photographs of the completed
plant.
A remarkable transformation of the global energy landscape is underway as we shift toward renewable energy sources.
Solar and wind energy sources are forecasted to dominate power generation. Yet, vast amount s of long-duration
energy storage (LDES) are vital to time-shift and stabilize these variable energy sources. The Vanadium Flow Battery is
the most mature of the LDES battery technologies. According to MIT (2022), the VFB is “unique for its ability to perform
indefinitely with inexpensive operational maintenance."

To assure stable, long-term access to vanadium feedstocks for electrolyte manufacturing, the Company is developing
novel hydrometallurgical processes to extract vanadium from the titanomagnetite deposits at its wholly owned Lac
Doré property near Chibougamau, Québec.

This document may contain forward-looking statements (including "forward-looking information" within the meaning of
applicable Canadian securities laws and "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the US Private Securities Litigation
Reform Act of 1995) regarding, among other things, VanadiumCorp's business. and the environment in which it operates. In
general, forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as "anticipates", "expects" or "does not expect",
"is expected", "budget", "forecast", "estimates", "forecasts", "intends", "anticipates" or "does not anticipate", or "believes", or
variations of such words and phrases or statements that certain actions, events or results "may", "could", "would", "could" or
"will be taken", "occur" or "will be achieved". VanadiumCorp relies on a number of assumptions and estimates to make these
forward-looking statements, including, without limitation, the ability to acquire the necessary permits and authorizations to
advance the Lac Doré property to the production stage, the ability to add to existing resources at Lac Doré through drilling, the
costs associated with the development and operation of its properties. These assumptions and estimates are made in light of
forecasts and conditions that are considered relevant and reasonable based on available information and current circumstances.
A number of risk factors may cause actual results, level of activity, performance or results of such exploration and/or mine
development to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements, including, without
limitation, whether such discoveries will result in commercially viable quantities of such mineralized materials, the ability to
modify project parameters as plans continue to be refined, the ability to execute planned future exploration and drilling
programs, the need for additional financing to continue exploration and development efforts, changes in general economic,
market and business conditions, and other risks outlined in VanadiumCorp's latest Annual Information Form under the heading
"Risk Factors" and in its other public documents. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and such
information is inherently subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that are difficult to predict and
