Sino Vanadium – Poised to Meet China’s Increasing Demand

Overview

Sino Vanadium 100% owns the Daquan Property in China containing indicated resource of 330 million pounds of V2O5 and inferred resource of 370 million pounds of V2O5. China is the largest consumer of vanadium which it uses for high strength steel and titanium alloys, various chemical applications including a rapidly growing use in high power density, extra long life batteries.

Chief Property

Daquan Vanadium Project, Shaanxi, China

Highlights Owns 100% Daquan Property in Shaanxi China

• Mining License approved including all environmental approvals
  • NI 43-101 Technical Report completed in April, 2009
  • Indicated & Inferred Resources: 34.2 million tonnes
• an average grade of 0.95% V2O5
• NI 43-101 Scoping Study initiated and expected in Q4/2009
• Planning to build a 10,000 tpd production plant to produce 33 million t V2O5 annually

Numerous Growth Opportunities:

• Consolidation of nearby producing mines
• Consolidating 9 nearby deposits
• Commission Production of the Daquan mine by Q1, 2012

The Daquan Property is situated in Shangnan County, southeast Shaanxi Province, China, about 200 kilometers southeast of Xi’an, the provincial capital, and about 40 kilometers south of the county capital of Shangnan. The Property contains a sedimentary rock unit that is enriched in vanadium at levels of concentration that are of potential economic significance. The 2009 drilling program was comprised of 12 holes with an aggregate length of 3620 meters. The holes were intended to test the vanadium bearing zone throughout the strike length that had previously been tested by trenching and tunnelling. In addition, 111 V2O5 assays were added to the existing database of 555 assays previously obtained. One of Wardrop’s conclusions in the Report speaks to the volume of information that has been considered in this study of this Property:

“. . . the distribution of vanadium is both extensive and relatively homogeneous, and can be reasonably presumed to be significantly more extensive than the volume of rock for which the resource has been estimated.”
