Progress update - Ambient Noise Tomography Survey - Lac Dore deposit

(TheNewswire)

VanadiumCorp Resource Inc.

Vancouver, British Columbia TheNewswire - April 14, 2025, VanadiumCorp Resource Inc. (TSX-V: VRB) (FSE: NWNA) (OTC: VRBFF) VanadiumCorp (the "Company") engaged CAUR Technologies December 2024 to conduct an Ambient Noise Tomography (ANT) survey to characterize the Lac Doré deposit located on VanadiumCorp's property near Chibougamau, Quebec. Ambient Noise Tomography is a passive technique that records ambient vibrations using seismic sensors. This method allows for the modelling of underground structures and provides detailed information on S-wave velocities.

The scope of the project includes creating a synthetic velocity model, optimizing the sensor network design, and recording seismic noise using 104 triaxial sensors. Additionally, the project involves managing and archiving the seismic data collected. The final report will detail the survey design, field campaign, data collected, data analysis, the final S-wave velocity model, and geological interpretations.

ATN Progress Report

Initial planning focused on designing the sensor layout to optimize the imaging of the Lac Doré deposit. Fieldwork at the Lac Doré property started during the week of December 22, 2024. Initial activities included land surveying, reconnaissance, and the placement of sensor positions in preparation for deployment. Geophone deployment was completed in March, and data recording will conclude at the end of April. Following this, data processing will begin on the 3D geophysical interpretation model, which is expected to take approximately four to six weeks.

The goal of the Ambient Noise Tomography Survey is to develop an updated geological and structural model. This model will be used in the revision of the "NI 43-101" report which was including VTM Resource, which was released in 2020 and is classified as a historical estimate.

Financing

The Company has submitted documents to the TSX Venture Exchange (the "Exchange") to seek conditional approval for the announced financing, which includes the closing of a second tranche that will generate gross proceeds of $50,000.00. This tranche involves the issuance of 454,545 Units to arm's-length subscribers. Additionally, the Company may pay finders' fees in cash and warrants, which will have the same terms as the Unit Warrants. Furthermore, in order to accommodate changes in the Quebec flow-through tax regulations announced March 25, 2025 the Company has received approval to extend the announced financing to May 14, 2025.

All shares issued as part of this financing, as well as any shares resulting from the exercise of warrants, will be subject to a four-month hold period from the closing date. The financing is contingent upon approval from the TSXV Exchange.

Net proceeds from the financing will be used for exploration and metallurgical testing of the Company's wholly-owned mineral properties, electrolyte plant, and general corporate purposes.

About VanadiumCorp Resource Inc.

VanadiumCorp is a Canadian critical metals exploration company owning 100% of two strategic properties in Quebec: The Iron T and the flagship Lac Doré property. The company is advancing innovative technologies to extract vanadium-titanium and potentially high-grade iron from its vanadiferous titanomagnetite projects. The successful implementation of these technologies is expected to ensure a stable, long-term supply of the company's critical metal deposits, which includes vanadium feedstock for its inaugural electrolyte production facility situated in Val-des-Sources, Quebec. This electrolyte plant will serve a dual purpose: evaluating the quality of outputs from the Lac Doré pilot plant and facilitating the recycling of electrolyte.

Altech Batteries Ltd  CERENERGY Type Battery Shows 28 Year Shelf Life

Altech Batteries Ltd CERENERGY Type Battery Shows 28 Year Shelf Life

Perth, Australia (ABN Newswire) - Altech Batteries Limited (ASX:ATC) (FRA:A3Y) (OTCMKTS:ALTHF) is pleased to announce the exceptional long-term shelf life of its CERENERGY(R) sodium-nickel-chloride (Na Ni-Cl) battery technology.

Highlights

- CERENERGY(R) has been designed on well-established sodium-nickel-chloride chemistry

- Origins to the first-generation Zebra batteries

- 28-year-old Zebra battery, left unused in storage, provided to Altech

- Upon testing, battery performed as if it were new

- No degradation in function or capacity despite nearly three decades of dormancy

- Ideal for long-term military storage

CERENERGY(R) batteries have been designed on well-established sodium-nickel-chloride chemistry, which traces its origins to the first-generation Zebra batteries. These earlier Zebra cells had a smaller energy capacity (approximately 100Wh) compared to the current CERENERGY(R) cells (250Wh). CERENERGY(R) cells were developed to improve energy capacity and reduce battery costs, but share the same fundamental Na Ni-Cl electrochemical design.

In a compelling demonstration of the technology's durability, a 28-year-old Zebra battery- originally manufactured by AEG ZEBRA in Berlin and left unused in storage-was recently provided to Altech for evaluation. Upon testing, the battery was successfully activated and performed as if it were new, exhibiting no degradation in function or capacity despite nearly three decades of dormancy.

The underlying reason for this remarkable longevity lies in the battery's unique chemistry and solid-state design. In its inactive state, the battery's electrolyte exists as solid sodium aluminium chloride salt crystals and nickel powder. All components are contained within a hermetically sealed, pressure-tight cell, preventing any moisture ingress or chemical degradation. Unlike conventional lithium-ion batteries-which rely on volatile liquid electrolytes that degrade over time-the CERENERGY(R) system remains completely inert and stable at ambient conditions.

When activated by heating to approximately 270 degC, the 28-year-old Zebra battery transitions into its operational state and can immediately begin charging and discharging with no observable loss in performance. This "on-demand activation" feature makes it particularly appealing for defense and strategic reserve applications, where batteries may need to be stored for extended periods and rapidly deployed when needed. In fact, such systems could be buried underground or warehoused for decades and reactivated without any compromise in performance.

To validate this capability further, Altech's joint venture partner, Fraunhofer IKTS, has conducted a rigorous individual cell stress-testing program. The 28-year-old cell is currently undergoing daily charge and discharge cycling at 300 degC across a 20-80% state of charge (SoC) range. The tests confirm not only the battery's safe operation but also its consistent performance across the full capacity spectrum.

This breakthrough reaffirms the robustness, safety, and strategic advantage of CERENERGY(R) sodium-nickel-chloride battery technology, setting it apart from conventional storage solutions in terms of reliability and long-term stability.



About Altech Batteries Ltd:  

Altech Batteries Limited (ASX:ATC) (FRA:A3Y) is a specialty battery technology company that has a joint venture agreement with world leading German battery institute Fraunhofer IKTS ("Fraunhofer") to commercialise the revolutionary CERENERGY(R) Sodium Alumina Solid State (SAS) Battery. CERENERGY(R) batteries are the game-changing alternative to lithium-ion batteries. CERENERGY(R) batteries are fire and explosion-proof; have a life span of more than 15 years and operate in extreme cold and desert climates. The battery technology uses table salt and is lithium-free; cobalt-free; graphite-free; and copper-free, eliminating exposure to critical metal price rises and supply chain concerns.

The joint venture is commercialising its CERENERGY(R) battery, with plans to construct a 100MWh production facility on Altech's land in Saxony, Germany. The facility intends to produce CERENERGY(R) battery modules to provide grid storage solutions to the market.
