Vancouver, British Columbia TheNewswire October 15, 2025 VanadiumCorp Resource Inc. (TSX-V: VRB | FSE: NWNA | OTC: VRBFF) ("VanadiumCorp" or the "Company") is pleased to provide shareholders with an update on its 100% 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 Doré 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 Doré Property – Advancing Geological Insight and Resource Definition
At the Lac Doré 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 NI 43-101 resource estimate. That estimate reported Measured and Indicated resources of 214.93 million tonnes grading 24.6% magnetite and 1.3% Vâ‚‚Oâ‚… in magnetite concentrate, equivalent to approximately 1.49 billion lb of contained Vâ‚‚Oâ‚…. The resource estimate referenced herein is historical in nature.
The company's goal is to enhance resource classification and solidify Lac Doré'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 Doré 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 datasets from the property and the surrounding region, thereby supporting an updated geological interpretation and target generation along the favorable horizons.
The Iron-T property is located near Matagami, Québec, approximately 350 km west of the Company's flagship Lac Doré Vanadium Project. The property hosts a historical 2011 NI 43-101 mineral resource estimate within the Genesis Zone, reported as 14.38 million tonnes of inferred resources at 0.42% 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 to the Lac Doré 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 Québec'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 our patented VEPT is expected to enable a stable, long-term supply of critical metals and provide high-quality vanadium feedstock for electrolyte production.
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.
