VANADIUMCORP FILES FOR CONDITIONAL APPROVAL OF $1.4 MILLION PRIVATE PLACEMENT FINANCING, CLOSES FIRST TRANCHE

Vanadiumcorp Resource Inc., further to its Nov. 4, 2025, news release, has filed documents with the TSX Venture Exchange, seeking conditional approval of its previously announced private placement financing.

The financing consists of up to 2,333,333 30-cent flow-through (FT) units, each FT unit consisting of one flow-through common share and one-half of a non-flow-through common share purchase warrant, each full FT warrant being exercisable at 45 cents for 18 months from the date of issue, and up to 2.8 million 25-cent non-flow-through (NFT) units, each NFT unit consisting of one common share of the company and one common share purchase warrant, each NFT warrant being exercisable at 45 cents for 18 months from the date of issue, for aggregate gross proceeds of up to $1.4-million.

Further, the company announces that it is seeking approval to close a first tranche of the financing for aggregate gross proceeds of $700,000 and issuing 2,333,333 FT units.

The company may pay finders' fees in cash and warrants in accordance with TSX Venture Exchange policies.

The company will use an amount equal to the gross proceeds received by the company from the sale of the FT units, pursuant to the provisions in the Income Tax Act (Canada), to incur eligible Canadian exploration expenses that qualify as flow-through mining expenditures and, where applicable, flow-through critical mineral mining expenditures as both terms are defined in the Income Tax Act (Canada) on or before Dec. 31, 2026, and to renounce all the qualifying expenditures in favour of the subscribers of the FT units effective Dec. 31, 2025. Prior to closing, the company obtained the required critical minerals exploration tax credit (CMETC) prescribed form, certifying that the qualifying expenditures intended to qualify as flow-through critical mineral mining expenditures will be incurred pursuant to an exploration plan that primarily targets critical minerals (as defined in the Income Tax Act (Canada)), including vanadium.

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

Net proceeds from the financing will be used for the company's exploration program on its projects.
