(“First Vanadium” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has more than doubled the size of its Carlin Vanadium Property from 1,331 acres to 3,177 acres.

Vanadium is growing in importance for key industrial manufacturing sectors most notably steel and renewable energy. Today, more than 90% of the world's vanadium is used in steel manufacturing applications. Its importance to the energy sector is also growing rapidly with more than 5% of vanadium production used in energy storage where its substantial cost and performance benefits make it an alternative choice to lithium ion in several areas.
