AMERICAN VANADIUM CORP. (“American Vanadium” or the “Company”)
(TSX.V: AVC) (OTCQX: AVCVF) announces that the Company is
engineering its process to include the production of higher valued
vanadium products for the premium chemical and titanium alloying
industries without increasing capital or operating costs. This
decision is based on recent laboratory testing demonstrating the
ability to produce high purity vanadium at its Gibellini Project
located in Nevada.
As the Company continues to make progress with the permitting
process and detailed engineering design of the Gibellini Project,
the Company will focus on producing vanadium electrolyte, powders,
crystals and oxide pellets for premium markets such as grid scale
flow battery systems, chemical and pollution control applications
as well as for the aerospace and defense industry.
“As we develop the only domestic vanadium mine, our
overriding corporate objective remains to build the vanadium flow
battery business in the US through partnerships with global
technology leaders,” said Bill Radvak, President and CEO of
American Vanadium. “As the energy storage industry grows
over time, it will consume an ever increasing percentage of our
product mix as vanadium electrolyte. In the meantime, we can
now increase project profitability by directing our product line
towards other higher margin products rather than simply selling
'purple flake' to the steel industry.”
The US currently imports 100% of its raw vanadium products for
use in the critical aerospace and chemical industries. The products
come from countries such as Venezuela, Mexico, China and South
Africa. Fifteen percent of the total vanadium consumption in the US
(31 million pounds vanadium pentoxide equivalent per year) is
consumed by the aerospace industry in the way of titanium vanadium
aluminum alloys, while a further six percent is used in the
chemical industry for critical products such as catalytic
converters, sulphuric acid catalyst, etc. The Gibellini Mine is
being designed to produce over 11 million pounds of vanadium
pentoxide equivalent per year.
About American Vanadium Corp.
American Vanadium is developing the only vanadium mine in the
United States. The Company’s Gibellini Project, located in Nevada,
is being designed to economically produce vanadium products for the
steel and alloying industries, as well as vanadium electrolyte for
the energy storage industry. This strategic asset gives American
Vanadium the opportunity to vertically integrate into the highest
value market, Micro Grid Energy Storage. A positive Feasibility
Study and updated National Instrument 43-101 on the Gibellini
Project were completed by AMEC E&C Services in 2011.
