It is anticipated that the Company will affect the name change and begin trading under the symbol "AVC" in early January.
"This marks a new chapter in the Company's history, and a new opportunity for the vanadium industry at large," stated Bill Radvak, President & CEO. "As we prepare for production to begin in two years in Nevada, we aim to be the only vanadium producer for both the steel and green industries."

The Company's Gibellini Vanadium Project is unique in its ability to have economic production of vanadium for the steel industry as well as vanadium electrolyte for the mass storage industry.
