Thanks to this grant, the Company's production equipment will be state-of-the-art, which will also contribute to an environmentally friendly circular economy.
The financial assistance comes from the Research and Development Support Program for the Circular Economy Applied to Critical and Strategic Minerals Sectors of the Ministere des Ressources naturelles et des Forets, which is administered by PRIMA Quebec.
The Corporation's new production facility will operate in partnership with the Carrefour d'innovation sur les materiaux de la MRC des Sources (CIMMS), and is expected to be operational in early 2024.

Forward-Looking Statements
This document may contain forward-looking statements (including 'forward-looking information' within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities legislation and 'forward-looking statements' within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995) regarding, among other things, VanadiumCorp's business and the environment in which it operates. In general, forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as 'expects', 'expects' or 'does not expect', 'is expected', 'budget', 'forecast', 'estimates', 'forecasts', 'intends', 'anticipates' or 'does not anticipate', or 'believes', or variations of such words and phrases or statements that certain events, actions or results 'may', 'could', 'would', or 'will be taken'. 'occur' or 'will be achieved'. VanadiumCorp relies on a number of assumptions and estimates to make these forward-looking statements, including, without limitation, the ability to acquire the permits and authorizations necessary to advance the Lac Dore mining property to the production stage, the ability to add to existing resources at Lac Dore through drilling, costs associated with the development and operation of its properties. These assumptions and estimates are made in light of forecasts and conditions that are considered relevant and reasonable based on available information and current circumstances. A number of risk factors may cause actual results, level of activity, performance or results of such exploration and/or mine development to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements, including, without limitation, whether such discoveries result in commercially viable quantities of such mineralized materials, the ability to modify project parameters as plans continue to be refined, the ability to execute planned future exploration and drilling programs, the need for additional financing to continue exploration and development efforts, changes in general economic, market and business conditions, and other risks set out in VanadiumCorp's latest Annual Information Form under the heading 'Risk Factors', and in its other public documents. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and such information is inherently subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that are difficult to predict and that may be beyond VanadiumCorp's control. Although VanadiumCorp has attempted to identify important risks and factors that could cause actual actions, events or results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements, there may be other factors and risks that cause actions, events or results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended. Accordingly, undue reliance should not be placed on these forward-looking statements. In addition, all forward-looking statements in this press release are made as of the date of this press release. VanadiumCorp disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by applicable securities laws.
