Vancouver, British Columbia – TheNewswire – July 6, 2026 – VanadiumCorp Resource Inc. (TSX-V: VRB | OTCQB: VRBFF | FSE: NWN) ("VanadiumCorp" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has engaged Explo-Logik Inc. of Val-d'Or, Québec, to conduct exploration activities at the Company's wholly owned Lac Laura Gold-Copper Property near Chapais, Québec.

The engagement marks an important step in advancing VanadiumCorp's renewed exploration efforts within the Chibougamau mining district and establishes a relationship with an experienced Québec based geological services provider for potential future work across the Company's broader portfolio of projects.

"Explo-Logik brings strong regional experience, technical capabilities, and an in depth understanding of the Chibougamau district. We look forward to working together at Lac Laura and potentially on additional projects as our exploration activities continue to evolve."

The Company views this engagement as part of a broader commitment to systematic, technically driven exploration programs supported by qualified professionals and modern analytical methods.
