(TSX \"VRB\") (the \"Company\") is pleased to announce Phase II of the VanadiumCorp-Electrochem Technology has commenced direct processing of pure vanadium chemicals by Electrochem in Boucherville, Québec. VanadiumCorp is partnered with Electrochem for development of patent-pending and patented technologies to develop high performance vanadium electrolyte for energy storage and solving conventional supply chain constraints by enabling a wider spectrum of raw materials and several diversified products.\n\n\n \n \n\n \nAdriaan Bakker, CEO of VanadiumCorp states, \"We are applying VanadiumCorp-Electrochem Technology directly to 100% owned VTM supply and feedstocks to create high quality energy storage materials for batteries. Bench scale testing our VTM concentrate has yielded consistent recoveries of 95% of metal values from VTM concentrate, which includes electrolytic iron, vanadium chemicals as well as titanium residues as opposed to 95% loss with conventional methods.\"\n\nVanadiumcorp-Electrochem Technology Phase II will highlight multi-commodity sample production at a nameplate capacity of 300 kg per month scalable to 1 tonne per month at the end of the campaign by installing additional units. The larger scale will incorporate Electrochem's globally patented technology for electrowinning to produce high purity vanadium chemicals and electrolytic iron with the purpose to produce enough chemicals for qualification by potential end users. Phase II testing will utilize equipment similar to those used industrially to demonstrate production capability and process scalability. Commissioning of larger equipment, such as reactors and electrowinning cells began in April, 2017. A larger facility will also allow VanadiumCorp to assess the viability of the fully integrated technologies by also processing vanadiferous conc...
