           NATIONAL ENTRY PHASES FILED IN AUSTRALIA AND CANADA
      FOR VANADIUMCORP-ELECTROCHEM PROCESSING TECHNOLOGY (VEPT)
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA, February 14, 2019   VanadiumCorp Resource Inc. (TSX-V: "VRB") (the
"Company") and Electrochem Technologies & Materials Inc. ("Electrochem") are pleased to announce the filing
of the national entry phases in Canada and Australia of the international patent application: WO 2018/152,628
(A1) METALLURGICAL AND CHEMICAL PROCESS FOR RECOVERING VANADIUM AND IRON VALUES FROM
VANADIFEROUS TITANOMAGNETITE AND VANADIFEROUS FEEDSTOCKS" . Subsequent filings made in other key
jurisdictions will be announced as patent office's confirmations are received.
    National Phase Entry in Canada [CA 3032329]
    National Phase Entry in Australia [AU 2018225820]
The filing of the National Phase Entry in Australia will support Ultra Power Systems PTY Ltd goal of purchasing
an Australian license of VanadiumCorp-Electrochem Processing Technology ("VEPT") to expedite construction
of the world's first dedicated vanadium processing facility. (See VanadiumCorp News Release dated December
10, 2018). The filing of the National Phase Entry in Canada will support future plans for VanadiumCorp to address
the North American market.
"The National Phase Entries represents a significant milestone for VEPT. VanadiumCorp and Electrochem are
committed to near term commercial demonstration of VEPT. For vanadium specifically, VEPT addresses the
largest industry challenges relating to price volatility and high carbon footprint in the current vanadium market.
With VEPT, vanadium is recovered from vanadium-bearing feedstock efficiently with a lower carbon footprint.
The patent applications filed in Canada and Australia will secure the vanadium supply, as these two jurisdictions
are critical for future vanadium-titanium-iron production from vanadiferous titanomagnetite ("VTM")." said
Adriaan Bakker, CEO and President of VanadiumCorp.
The jointly owned VEPT describes a novel chemical process invented by Dr. Francois Cardarelli that addresses
the recovery of vanadium, iron, titanium, and silica feedstocks such as vanadiferous titano-magnetite, iron ores
and concentrates such as magnetite and hematite, vanadium containing wastes such as BOF-slags, and other
industrial by-products also containing vanadium.
The process consists of digesting the vanadiferous feedstocks into concentrated sulfuric acid. The exothermic
sulfation reaction allows the process to operate quasi-autogenously while producing a sulfation cake and hence
minimizing the energy consumption drastically compared to smelting processing methods used by iron and steel
producers. The dissolution of the sulfation cake with minimum amount of water yields a dense pregnant solution
and reduces significantly the water usage compared to the conventional roasting process utilized by existing
primary vanadium producers. After reducing electrochemically, the pregnant solution is subjected to chilling
and crystallization yielding pure crystals of ferrous sulfate heptahydrate (also named copperas). The process
further recovers titanium hydrolysate by hydrolysis from the iron depleted solution thereby producing a
vanadium-bearing pregnant solution. The further concentration by evaporation and then a sequence of chilling
and crystallization yields vanadyl sulfate as key precursor for the preparation of vanadium electrolyte (VE) used
in vanadium redox flow batteries (VRFB) or for preparing various vanadium chemicals.

 VanadiumCorp Resource Inc. In December 2018, VanadiumCorp and Electrochem signed a patent option
agreement (POA) with Ultra Power Systems Pty Ltd. to purchase an exclusive license and construct a process
plant for VEPT in Western Australia. Jointly developed and owned with Electrochem, this innovative chemical
process allows for integrated and low carbon footprint recovery of vanadium, ferrous sulfate, and titanium
hydrolysate needed on a global scale. VanadiumCorp also holds a significant vanadium-titanium-iron bearing
resource base in mining friendly Quebec, Canada including the 100% owned Lac Dore Project adjacent to
Blackrock Metals Inc. and the Iron-T Project 3 km from the Glencore Matagami (Zinc-Copper) Mine.
Electrochem Technologies & Materials Inc. is a private Canadian corporation that invents, develops, patents,
scales-up and commercializes proprietary chemical, metallurgical and electrochemical technologies that are
innovative, and sustainable. Electrochem currently owns twenty four patents worldwide. The company also
manufactures industrial electrodes, recycles rare earths and produces tantalum and tungsten fine chemicals at
its production facilities in Boucherville.

Vanadiumcorp Resources Ltd will be exhibiting at the annual PDAC Convention in Toronto (Booth Number:
2842), the world's premier international event for the minerals and mining industry. It has attracted more than
25,000 people from 135 countries in recent years on March 3-6, 2019 at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre
South Building, 22 Bremner Blvd, Toronto, Ontario M5V 3L9.

Vanadiumcorp wishes to clarify that in its news release of February 7, 2019, both vanadium projects were noted
as adjacent to the Blackrock Metals project. It is the Lac Dore Project that is adjacent to the Blackrock Metals
Project and the Iron-T Project is adjacent to the town of Matagami, near to the Glencore Matagami Mine,
approximately 350 km west of the Company's Lac Dore Project.
