VRB:CC - VanadiumCorp Provides Update on Strategic Mining Projects Amid Growing Demand for Critical Minerals
(TheNewswire)
Vancouver, British Columbia –TheNewswire – October 15, 2025 – VanadiumCorp ResourceInc. (TSX-V: VRB | FSE: NWNA |OTC: VRBFF) (“VanadiumCorp” or the “Company”) is pleased to provide shareholders with an update on its100% owned vanadium-titanium-iron (V-Ti-Fe) mineral properties inQuebec, Canada.
Recent shifts in global trade policies have intensifiedthe need for secure and resilient supply chains. At the same time, therising importance of critical minerals in advanced technologies—suchas energy storage, clean technology, and the defence industry—hascreated new opportunities for Canadian mining companies.
With vanadium and titanium now officially designated as Critical Minerals in both Canada and the United States, VanadiumCorp isstrategically positioned to benefit from initiatives aimed atstrengthening domestic supply and accelerating the transition torenewable energy.
The Company’s flagship Lac Doré and Iron-Tprojects provide secure, domestic sources ofvanadium and titanium. These assets align VanadiumCorp with NorthAmerica’s strategic priorities, supporting industries that rely onconsistent access to high-performance critical minerals.
Lac Doré Property – AdvancingGeological Insight and Resource Definition
At the LacDoré Vanadium Project , an Ambient NoiseTomography (ANT) survey was completed earlier this year. Theinterpreted data are expected to enhance the geological understandingof the deposit and aid in identifying new deep exploration targetsbeneath the known mineralized zones.
The Company is working to update its mineral resourcemodel, which will contribute to the revision of the historical 2020 NI43-101 resource estimate. That estimate reported Measured andIndicated resources of 214.93 million tonnes grading 24.6% magnetiteand 1.3% V?O? in magnetite concentrate, equivalent toapproximately 1.49 billion lb of contained V?O?. The resourceestimate referenced herein is historical in nature.
The company's goal is to enhance resourceclassification and solidify Lac Doré’s position as one of NorthAmerica’s largest vanadium deposits. The survey is expected tosignificantly enhance understanding of the deposit’s structuralgeology and economic potential. The Lac Doré resource representsexcellent potential for future development, as it is one of the fewvanadium resources that have been successfully tested to meet thequality requirements for vanadium-based energy storage.
Iron-T Project – Expanding CriticalMinerals Portfolio
VanadiumCorp is currently compiling and re-evaluatinghistorical geological, geophysical, and geochemical data to guidefuture exploration programs for the Iron-T . Upcomingwork will focus on utilizing AI and other geophysical tools to developa new three-dimensional geological model that integrates all availabledatasets from the property and the surrounding region, therebysupporting an updated geological interpretation and target generationalong the favorable horizons.
The Iron-T property islocated near Matagami, Québec, approximately 350 km west of theCompany’s flagship Lac Doré Vanadium Project. The property hosts ahistorical 2011 NI 43-101 mineral resource estimate within the GenesisZone, reported as 14.38 million tonnes of inferred resources at 0.42%V?O?. This mineralization occurs at or nearsurface and remains open both at depth and along strike. Thehistorical estimate referenced herein is historical in nature.
Consistent historicaldrill intercepts, trench sampling, and geophysical anomalies along the22-kilometre strike length demonstrate a geological setting andmetallurgical characteristics comparable to the Lac Doré Vanadium Property, notably low impurity levels and strong metallurgicalrecoveries. These similarities reinforce the potential of the Iron-T Project to become a significant vanadium-titanium contributor withinQuébec’s critical minerals corridor.
Other VanadiumCorp Projects:
Lac Laura Property – EvaluatingGold Potential
VanadiumCorp is reviewing historical exploration datafrom its Lac Laura goldproperty , including geophysics, sampling, anddrilling previously conducted by Minnova (formerly part ofFalconbridge). The Company is compiling all available data for futureexploration and will provide a detailed update in a future newsrelease.
Technology Update: VEPT™ – Sustainable Metal Recovery
VanadiumCorp’s proprietary VEPT™ (VanadiumCorp Electrochem ProcessTechnology) recently received Canadian patentapproval, expanding its intellectual property portfolio to fivecountries. VEPT is currently undergoing active testing in Australia tooffer a low-energy, environmentally friendly method for extractingvanadium, iron, and titanium from a wide range of feedstocks for themining industry. Successful implementation ofour patented VEPT is expected to enable a stable, long-term supply ofcritical metals and provide high-quality vanadium feedstock forelectrolyte production.
VanadiumCorp remainsfocused on strategically advancing its projects to acceleratedevelopment. With a strengthening investment case for North Americanvanadium production, the Company’s diversified portfolio offersmultiple pathways for long-term value creation.
