What is Vanadium?
Primarily used to strengthen steel
Lighter, stronger, tougher, corrosion
resistant, weldable

• High Strength, Low-Alloy Steels


– 1 lb HSLA = 1.4 lb carbon steel
– Buildings, bridges, cranes, trucks,
pipelines, ships, engines, body
panels, wheels, rails
• Alloy steels – tools
• Al – Ti alloys
– Airframes, jet engines
Vanadium Battery Opportunity
Vanadium Lithium
Big metal demand Small applications

• Longer life cycles 35,000 • 300 life cycles (3-5 years)


(30-50 years) • Can be compact
• Rapid charge and discharge • More ideal for small battery use
• Low self charge (stays charged)
• Easily expandable for large
capacity storage
• Low heat generation
Vanadium Lithium Battery
US Army's “Aggressor” Battery- Vanadium increases range from
Powered Vehicle 40 km per charge to 200

• Speeds over 200 km/hr


• Superior torque & acceleration
• Silent stealth movement
• Range up to 400 km per charge
Wind and Solar Need Vanadium

• Power surging into the


grid a problem with solar
and wind

• Vanadium batteries the


only battery that can
rapidly charge and
discharge with little effect
on the life of the battery

Gibellini Vanadium Project

• Located 25 miles south of Eureka, Nevada


• Scoping study by AMEC suggests 40% IRR
• Potentially lowest cost primary vanadium
producer in the world
• Could supply 5% of worlds current demand
for vanadium
• Moving towards Environmental Studies
and Feasibility Stage
• Next vanadium producer in the world?
Gibellini Vanadium Property

• 2,000 acres on BLM land - unpatented


mining claims
• 100% Rocky Mountain controlled
– $145,000 Annual Prepaid Royalty
– NSR 2.5%
• Previous exploration on the property by
several operators including Union
Carbide and Noranda
• Historic exploration drilling > 160 holes
