Western Uranium and Vanadium Corp. (CSE:WUC,OCTQX:WSTRF) has launched its campaign on the Investing News Network’s resource channel.
Western Uranium and Vanadium Corp is a near-term producer of both vanadium and uranium with six uranium-vanadium properties located in Colorado and Utah. The company is in development of a production-scale patent-protected ablation technology which is capable of reducing the amount of input material to between 10 and 20 percent of its original mass while maintaining 85 to 95 percent of the mineralization. Western Uranium and Vanadium’s ablation technology has garnered attention from those in the mining sector looking to reduce the cost of processing uranium and vanadium from sandstone deposits. The technology has the potential to remove 90 percent of downstream processing and transportation costs.
The company has collected a portfolio of resource projects containing a group of permitted and developed mines that are expected to be low in capital expenditure and operational expenses. Western Uranium and Vanadium’s primary focus is the Sunday Mine Complex in Colorado. The property is home to five fully-developed and permitted vanadium-uranium mines all of which the company are aiming to bring back into production.
Western Uranium and Vanadium’s company highlights include the following:
Near-term producer of uranium and vanadium.
Patent-pending ablation technology significantly reduces the costs of processing vanadium and uranium in sandstone-hosted deposits.
