VANADIUMCORP PROVIDES UPDATE ON STRATEGIC MINING PROJECTS AMID GROWING DEMAND FOR CRITICAL MINERALS

Vanadiumcorp Resource Inc. has provided shareholders with an update on its 100-per-cent-owned vanadium-titanium-iron (V-Ti-Fe) mineral properties in Quebec, Canada.

Recent shifts in global trade policies have intensified the need for secure and resilient supply chains. At the same time, the rising importance of critical minerals in advanced technologies -- such as energy storage, clean technology and the defence industry -- has created new opportunities for Canadian mining companies.

With vanadium and titanium now officially designated as critical minerals in both Canada and the United States, Vanadiumcorp is strategically positioned to benefit from initiatives aimed at strengthening domestic supply and accelerating the transition to renewable energy.

The company's flagship Lac Dore and Iron-T projects provide secure, domestic sources of vanadium and titanium. These assets align Vanadiumcorp with North America's strategic priorities, supporting industries that rely on consistent access to high performance critical minerals.

Lac Dore property -- advancing geological insight and resource definition

At the Lac Dore vanadium project, an ambient noise tomography (ANT) survey was completed earlier this year. The interpreted data are expected to enhance the geological understanding of the deposit and aid in identifying new deep exploration targets beneath the known mineralized zones.

The company is working to update its mineral resource model, which will contribute to the revision of the historical 2020 National Instrument 43-101 resource estimate. That estimate reported measured and indicated resources of 214.93 million tonnes grading 24.6 per cent magnetite and 1.3 per cent V2O5 (vanadium pentoxide) in magnetite concentrate, equivalent to approximately 1.49 billion pounds of contained V2O5. The resource estimate referenced herein is historical in nature.

The company's goal is to enhance resource classification and solidify Lac Dore's position as one of North America's largest vanadium deposits. The survey is expected to significantly enhance understanding of the deposit's structural geology and economic potential. The Lac Dore resource represents excellent potential for future development, as it is one of the few vanadium resources that have been successfully tested to meet the quality requirements for vanadium-based energy storage.

Iron-T project -- expanding critical minerals portfolio

Vanadiumcorp is currently compiling and re-evaluating historical geological, geophysical and geochemical data to guide future exploration programs for the Iron-T. Upcoming work will focus on utilizing AI and other geophysical tools to develop a new three-dimensional geological model that integrates all available data sets from the property and the surrounding region, thereby supporting an updated geological interpretation and target generation along the favourable horizons.

The Iron-T property is located near Matagami, Que., approximately 350 kilometres west of the company's flagship Lac Dore vanadium project. The property hosts a historical 2011 National Instrument 43-101 mineral resource estimate within the Genesis zone, reported as 14.38 million tonnes of inferred resources at 0.42 per cent V2O5. This mineralization occurs at or near surface and remains open both at depth and along strike. The historical estimate referenced herein is historical in nature.

Consistent historical drill intercepts, trench sampling and geophysical anomalies along the 22-kilometre strike length demonstrate a geological setting and metallurgical characteristics comparable with the Lac Dore vanadium property, notably low impurity levels and strong metallurgical recoveries. These similarities reinforce the potential of the Iron-T project to become a significant vanadium-titanium contributor within Quebec's critical minerals corridor.

Other Vanadiumcorp projects

Lac Laura property -- evaluating gold potential

Vanadiumcorp is reviewing historical exploration data from its Lac Laura gold property, including geophysics, sampling and drilling previously conducted by Minnova (formerly part of Falconbridge). The company is compiling all available data for future exploration and will provide a detailed update in a future news release.

Technology update: VEPT -- sustainable metal recovery

Vanadiumcorp's proprietary VEPT (Vanadiumcorp electrochem process technology) recently received Canadian patent approval, expanding its intellectual property portfolio to five countries. VEPT is currently undergoing active testing in Australia to offer a low-energy, environmentally friendly method for extracting vanadium, iron and titanium from a wide range of feedstocks for the mining industry. Successful implementation of the company's patented VEPT is expected to enable a stable, long-term supply of critical metals and provide high-quality vanadium feedstock for electrolyte production.

Looking ahead

Vanadiumcorp remains focused on strategically advancing its projects to accelerate development. With a strengthening investment case for North American vanadium production, the company's diversified portfolio offers multiple pathways for long-term value creation.
