Vanadium is growing in importance as an alloying metal used to strengthen steel as well as the emerging uses with lithium vanadium batteries and storage cells for renewable energy.

With virtually all world production of vanadium coming from China, South Africa and Russia, the Company’s Gibellini project, being located in Nevada, gives the Company the opportunity to become North America’s first and only primary producer of Vanadium.
