VanadiumCorp Provides Update on Strategic Mining Projects Amid Growing Demand for Critical Minerals
VanadiumCorp Provides Update on Strategic Mining Projects Amid Growing Demand
for Critical Minerals
Vancouver, British Columbia – TheNewswire – October 15, 2025 –VanadiumCorp
Resource Inc.(TSX-V: VRB | FSE: NWNA | OTC: VRBFF) (“VanadiumCorp” or the
“Company”) is pleased to provide shareholders with an update on its 100% owned
vanadium-titanium-iron (V-Ti-Fe) mineral properties in Quebec, Canada.
Recent shifts in global trade policies have intensified the need for secure and resilient
supply chains. At the same time, the rising importance of critical minerals in advanced
technologies—such as energy storage, clean technology, and the defence industry—has
created new opportunities for Canadian mining companies.
With vanadium and titanium now officially designated as Critical Minerals in both Canada
and the United States, VanadiumCorp is strategically positioned to benefit from initiatives
aimed at strengthening domestic supply and accelerating the transition to renewable
energy.
The Company’s flagship Lac Doré and Iron-T projects provide secure, domestic sources of
vanadium and titanium. These assets align VanadiumCorp with North America’s strategic
priorities, supporting industries that rely on consistent access to high-performance critical
minerals.
Lac Doré Property – Advancing Geological Insight and Resource Definition
At the Lac Doré Vanadium Project, an Ambient Noise Tomography (ANT) survey was
completed earlier this year. The interpreted data are expected to enhance the geological
understanding of the deposit and aid in identifying new deep exploration targets beneath
the known mineralized zones.
The Company is working to update its mineral resource model, which will contribute to the
revision of the historical 2020 NI 43-101 resource estimate. That estimate reported
Measured and Indicated resources of 214.93 million tonnes grading 24.6% magnetite and
1.3% V₂O₅ in magnetite concentrate, equivalent to approximately 1.49 billion lb of
contained V₂O₅. The resource estimate referenced herein is historical in nature.
The company's goal is to enhance resource classification and solidify Lac Doré’sposition
as one of North America’s largest vanadium deposits. The survey is expected to
significantly enhance understanding of the deposit’s structural geology and economic
potential. The Lac Doré resource represents excellent potential for future development, as
it is one of the few vanadium resources that have been successfully tested to meet the
quality requirements for vanadium-based energy storage.
Iron-T Project – Expanding Critical Minerals Portfolio
VanadiumCorp is currently compiling and re-evaluating historical geological, geophysical,
and geochemical data to guide future exploration programs for the Iron-T. Upcoming work
will focus on utilizing AI and other geophysical tools to develop a new three-dimensional
geological model that integrates all available datasets from the property and the
surrounding region, thereby supporting an updated geological interpretation and target
generation along the favorable horizons.
The Iron-T property is located near Matagami, Québec, approximately 350 km west of the
Company’s flagship Lac Doré Vanadium Project. The property hosts a historical 2011 NI 43-
101 mineral resource estimate within the Genesis Zone, reported as 14.38 million tonns of
inferred resources at 0.42% V₂O₅. This mineralization occurs at or near surface and
remains open both at depth and along strike. The historical estimate referenced herein is
historical in nature.
Consistent historical drill intercepts, trench sampling, and geophysical anomalies along
the 22-kilometre strike length demonstrate a geological setting and metallurgical
characteristics comparable to the Lac Doré Vanadium Property, notably low impurity
levels and strong metallurgical recoveries. These similarities reinforce the potential of the
Iron-T Project to become a significant vanadium-titanium contributor within Québec’s
critical minerals corridor.
Other VanadiumCorp Projects:
Lac Laura Property – Evaluating Gold Potential
VanadiumCorp is reviewing historical exploration data from its Lac Laura gold property,
including geophysics, sampling, and drilling previously conducted by Minnova (formerly
part of Falconbridge). The Company is compiling all available data for future exploration
and will provide a detailed update in a future news release.
Technology Update: VEPT™ – Sustainable Metal Recovery
VanadiumCorp’s proprietary VEPT™ (VanadiumCorp Electrochem Process Technology)
recently received Canadian patent approval, expanding its intellectual property portfolio to
five countries. VEPT is currently undergoing active testing in Australia to offer a low-energy,
environmentally friendly method for extracting vanadium, iron, and titanium from a wide
range of feedstocks for the mining industry. Successful implementation of our patented
VEPT is expected to enable a stable, long-term supply of critical metals and provide high-
quality vanadium feedstock for electrolyte production.
Looking Ahead
VanadiumCorp remains focused on strategically advancing its projects to accelerate
development. With a strengthening investment case for North American vanadium
production, the Company’s diversified portfolio offers multiple pathways for long-term
value creation.
