What Vanadiumcorp Resource does

VanadiumCorp Resource Inc. is a Canadian critical minerals exploration and technology company operating three vertically integrated segments: mining, processing technology, and downstream electrolyte production. Its mining portfolio consists of 100%-owned vanadiferous titanomagnetite assets in Quebec — the flagship Lac Doré Project (214.93 Mt M&I at 0.40% V2O5, plus 86.91 Mt inferred) and the Iron-T Project (14.376 Mt at 0.77% V2O5 equivalent) — plus the secondary Lac Laura Gold-Copper exploration property. The company's proprietary VanadiumCorp Electrochem Processing Technology (VEPT), a globally patented hydrometallurgical process co-invented with Electrochem Technologies, recovers vanadium pentoxide, vanadyl sulfate, ferrous sulfate, titanium hydrolysate, and silica from titanomagnetite and other feedstocks while avoiding the emissions profile of conventional pyrometallurgical roasting and smelting.

Downstream, VanadiumCorp operates the Vanadium Énergie Nordique pilot plant in Val-des-Sources, Quebec, producing up to 250,000 litres per year of high-purity vanadium electrolyte — sufficient for approximately 4.75 MWh of vanadium redox flow battery (VRFB) energy storage annually. The company serves VRFB manufacturers and OEMs, utilities and grid operators deploying long-duration energy storage, and steel/aerospace buyers of vanadium pentoxide and titanium by-products. Revenue mechanics are split across hardware sales of vanadium electrolyte, licensing of VEPT technology to mining partners, and sale of V2O5 and titanium co-products, with all pricing negotiated privately. Headquartered in West Vancouver, BC, with additional offices in Val-des-Sources, Quebec, and Frankfurt, Germany, VanadiumCorp is publicly traded on the TSX Venture Exchange (VRB.V), Frankfurt (FSE: NWNA), and OTCQB (VRBFF) with 11–50 employees and a 2026 market cap in the low tens of millions of Canadian dollars based on disclosed financings.

Revenue model

1. Vanadium Electrolyte Sales: Sales of high-purity vanadium electrolyte produced at the Vanadium Énergie Nordique pilot plant to VRFB manufacturers and battery OEMs. The electrolyte is the most significant cost component of the entire VFB system and is critical to the expansion of the Long-Duration Energy Storage (LDES) market.
2. VEPT Technology Licensing: Licensing of the proprietary VEPT technology to mining companies and industrial partners for recovering vanadium, iron, and titanium from vanadiferous titanomagnetite and other feedstocks. The company holds 100% ownership of US Provisional Patents and an International PCT application (WO 2018/152628) with national phase entries in key global jurisdictions.
3. Vanadium Pentoxide (V2O5) Sales: Production and sale of vanadium pentoxide extracted from vanadiferous titanomagnetite deposits at the Lac Doré project. Vanadium pentoxide is used in steel applications, aerospace alloys, and as feedstock for vanadium electrolyte manufacturing.
4. Titanium By-product Sales: Concurrent production and sale of titanium by-product from the VEPT process, alongside high-quality iron co-product and silica. Titanium applications span aerospace, medical, industrial, and consumer markets.
