MILESTONE EXPANDS GLOBAL IP FOOTPRINT AS THIRD-PARTY VALIDATION UNDERWAY

Vanadiumcorp Resource Inc. has received an allowance for its Canadian patent application (No. 3,032,329) for the Vanadiumcorp electrochem process technology.

This milestone significantly expands the company's protected intellectual property sphere for its novel hydrometallurgical process and upgrades its status in Canada from pending to allowed.

The VEPT, invented by electrochemist Dr. Francois Cardarelli and 100 per cent owned by Vanadiumcorp, is designed for recovering vanadium, iron and titanium values from vanadiferous titanomagnetite and other feedstocks.

With this Canadian allowance, VEPT is patented or allowed in the United States, South Africa, Australia, India and Canada. Patent applications remain pending only in Europe. All granted patents and pending applications are current and in good standing. The company also announces that an Australian company is actively engaged in testing this innovative technology, exploring its potential applications. All laboratory and prototype testing are being performed exclusively by the company's partner, Electrochem Technologies & Materials Inc., at its facilities in Boucherville, Que.

"The allowance of our Canadian patent is a pivotal achievement that validates our proprietary approach to sustainable vanadium extraction," said Kristien Davenport, president and chief executive officer of Vanadiumcorp.

"This, combined with the active international testing of VEPT, underscores the global relevance and potential of our technology. Our robust and growing IP portfolio is a core asset, designed to protect our expertise in processing a wide range of vanadium feedstocks with significantly reduced environmental impact."

The VEPT process consists of digesting vanadiferous titanomagnetite and other feedstocks into concentrated sulphuric acid, minimizing energy consumption compared with conventional pyrometallurgical processes. After reducing the pregnant solution electrochemically, the process efficiently recovers valuable byproducts, including ferrous sulphate heptahydrate also known as copperas, titanium hydrolysate and vanadium products (vanadium pentoxide and vanadyl sulphate).

About Vanadiumcorp Resource Inc.

Vanadiumcorp is a Canadian critical metal exploration company with 100-per-cent ownership of two strategic properties in Quebec: its flagship Lac Dore property and the Iron-T property. The Lac Dore deposit, located near Chibougamau, is recognized as one of North America's premier undeveloped vanadium mineral resources. The Iron-T deposit, located in the Matagami mining camp, shares remarkably similar geology with the Lac Dore vanadium project, which is distinguished by exceptionally low impurity levels and outstanding metallurgical recoveries. Together, these assets reflect Vanadiumcorp's commitment to securing a sustainable and reliable supply of critical minerals for North America.

In parallel with its exploration activities, Vanadiumcorp is advancing its proprietary Vanadiumcorp electrochem processing technology, designed to extract vanadium, titanium and potentially high-grade iron from vanadiferous titanomagnetite deposits. Successful implementation of VEPT is expected to enable a stable, long-term supply of critical metals and provide high-quality vanadium feedstock for electrolyte production.

To support this initiative, Vanadiumcorp has constructed its initial electrolyte pilot plant in Val-des-Sources, Que. This facility will serve two key functions: evaluating the quality of extracted materials from its mineral assets and initiating commercial-scale production of electrolytes for long-duration vanadium redox flow batteries.
