Paul McGuigan, the Company’s CEO, stated: “This oversubscribed financing will be used to advance the procurement and assembly of the Company’s first electrolyte plant in Val-des-Sources, Québec. New technical staff have been retained with the aim to begin construction in August-September and receive process equipment in the fourth week of September 2023. The Company elects to manufacture the highest purity vanadium electrolyte to complement primary vanadium production from deposits such as our Lac Doré vanadium-titanium-iron property in Chibougamau, Québec. In choosing to manufacture in Québec, the Company demonstrates our commitment to value-added processing of mineral resources in Québec and to the circular economy.”
