Chairperson and former CEO John Lee, who has been appointed to serve as interim president and CEO, said on Tuesday that the TSX-listed company remained passionate about the Gibellini project.
The Gibellini mine, in the Battle Mountain region of Nevada, is forecast to cost $116.76-million to build and will produce 9.65-million pounds of vanadium pentoxide (V2O5), according to a June 2018 preliminary economic assessment (PEA). The PEA estimated an operating cost of $4.77/lb of V2O5, while the price of vanadium is currently trading at $18.40/lb.
