Core Viewpoint - VanadiumCorp Resource Inc. has received an allowance for its Canadian Patent Application for the VanadiumCorp Electrochem Process Technology (VEPT™), marking a significant milestone in expanding its intellectual property and enhancing its status in Canada from "pending" to "allowed" [1][2]. Intellectual Property and Technology - The VEPT™ technology, developed by Dr. François Cardarelli, is designed to recover vanadium, iron, and titanium from vanadiferous titanomagnetite and other feedstocks [2]. - With the Canadian allowance, VEPT™ is now patented or allowed in multiple countries including the USA, South Africa, Australia, India, and Canada, with pending applications only in Europe [3]. - The company has partnered with Electrochem Technologies & Materials Inc. for laboratory and prototype testing of VEPT™, which is being conducted in Boucherville, Quebec [3]. Environmental Impact and Process Efficiency - The VEPT™ process utilizes concentrated sulfuric acid to digest vanadiferous titanomagnetite, significantly reducing energy consumption compared to traditional pyrometallurgical methods [5]. - The process efficiently recovers valuable by-products such as ferrous sulfate heptahydrate, titanium hydrolysate, and various vanadium products [5]. Company Overview and Strategic Assets - VanadiumCorp is a Canadian critical metals exploration company with full ownership of two key properties in Québec: the Lac Doré property and the Iron-T property, both recognized for their high-quality vanadium resources [7]. - The Lac Doré deposit is noted as one of North America's premier undeveloped vanadium mineral resources, while the Iron-T deposit shares similar geological characteristics [7]. Future Initiatives - The company is advancing its VEPT™ technology to ensure a stable supply of critical metals and high-quality vanadium feedstock for electrolyte production [9]. - An initial electrolyte pilot plant has been constructed in Val-des-Sources, Québec, aimed at evaluating extracted materials and initiating commercial-scale production for Vanadium Redox Flow Batteries (VRFBs) [10].
