Vanadium One Energy Completes Logging and Sample Preparation of Phase 2A Drilling at Its Mont Sorcier Fe-V-Ti Project

The Company’s Phase 1 and Phase 2A drilling plans were intentionally designed to intersect specific vanadium rich targets inside the iron-vanadium-titanium formation previously outlined by historic drilling in 1966, as reported in 1975, and more specifically, drill holes FS-45 and FS-51, which indicated up to 1% V₂O₅ in the magnetite concentrates, i.e., Davis Tube.

Historical estimates of mineral resources in the vanadium bearing iron formation are based on 35 vertical drill holes on 11 sections and trenches, limited by 2 pits shells.  “Iron Ore was the main target historically and we are very encouraged by the pervasiveness of the Iron Ore deposit and the grades we have seen so far.  However, the real prize here at Mont Sorcier is the Vanadium associated with this iron ore as it continues to be consistent with the historical records.  With the iron comes the Vanadium and our focus is on building a NI 43-101 mineral resource to make our mark as a significant player in the supply chain for this growing demand in Vanadium,” commented Priestner, President and CEO.

The iron formation hosting vanadium is divided between the North Zone (170 million tons, i.e., 154 million metric tonnes) and the South Zone (100 million tons, i.e., 91 million metric tonnes), about one kilometer apart, and both zones are located north of Lac Chibougamau.  In 2013, Chibougamau Independent Mines Inc. drilled 2 holes, one in each zone, and reported 0.26% V2O5 over 221 meters in the North Zone and 0.44% V2O5 over 54 meters in the South Zone, all within the historical “ore zone”.

(NOTE:  The resource cited above was made public in 1966, and again in 1975, by Campbell Chibougamau Mines.  This data is historical, is not a current mineral resource under National Instrument 43-101 regulations, is not being considered by VONE as current resources or reserves, has not been reviewed by a VONE geologist and should not be relied upon.)

The Company will be performing Davis Tube Magnetic Concentrate tests on all the core samples available as well as Satmagan to measure magnetite content in the rock and potential recovery of vanadium from the mineralization within our Project.  The Company has undertaken a review of all the historical drill logs describing the lithology intersected during Phase 1 and Phase 2A drilling.  “Using historical data pays off.  The work to compile all geological data is well underway. It will save drilling costs in the future and it will help support a NI 43-101 compliant mineral resource estimate” says Lafleur, Director of the Company.

With incoming results from Phase 2A drilling due in the next few weeks, management is already planning Phase 2B at Mont Sorcier, a program anticipated to include about 2,000 metres of diamond drilling.

Vanadium One’s Mont Sorcier project is strategically situated just 18 kilometers east, by paved highway and well maintained secondary roads, from the regional mining centre of Chibougamau, Quebec. The Fe-V-Ti project is comprised of 57 key mineral claims covering approximately 1,910 Ha (4,797.4 acres).

The technical information contained in this news release has been reviewed and approved by Pierre Jean Lafleur, P.Eng. (OIQ), who is a Qualified Person with respect to the Company’s Mont Sorcier Fe-V-Ti Project as defined under National Instrument 43-101.
