VANADIUMCORP FILES FOR FINAL APPROVAL OF $1.6 MILLION FINANCING

Vanadiumcorp Resource Inc.'s previously announced non-brokered private placement financing of up to $1.5-million has been increased to $1,632,940 and the company has filed documents with the TSX Venture Exchange seeking final approval to close the financing.

The financing consists of 16,329,400 units, with each unit priced at 10 cents per unit for gross proceeds of $1,632,940. Each unit consists of one common share of the company and one common share purchase warrant, each warrant entitling the holder to acquire an additional common share at an exercise price of 18 cents for a period of two years.

Subject to exchange approval, cash finders' fees in the amount of $24,400 will be paid and 244,000 non-transferable broker warrants will issued on the same terms as the unit warrants.

Seven insiders of the company have subscribed for 3,879,400 units for proceeds of $387,940, which participation is considered to be a related party transaction as defined under Multilateral Instrument 61-101. Such participation is expected to be exempt from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101.

All securities issued pursuant to the financing will be subject to a four-month hold from date of issue.

Net proceeds from the financing will be used for exploration and metallurgical testing on the company's wholly owned mineral properties, procurement for the company's previously announced first electrolyte manufacturing facility, and general corporate purposes.
