No news and tax loss selling season. It's a bad combination unless you want to accumulate more.
This is the lowest I'v e scene this in three years.. Something is going to happen
No hurry, low oil is not turning heads to alternative energy right now.
I agree last time is was this low it it only went to .35 cents.. now its .29 Id say excellent.. Looking for a run to .60 cents again
I think this is in good buying range again? What do you think ?
On the cusp or on the ropes? "You pays yer money and you takes yer chances"

The private placement on 10/14/14 has probably reset resistance at about .40 until there is significant positive news. Furthermore, it may have scared some shareholders as the timeline to an operational mine/business still appears to be a lot longer than the original narrative would have indicated.

new to this one, and I cant say yet, I own a small amount so I watch it. I think gas prices dropping has weighed down on PPS, same goes for developing the mine and its distribution of cell cube, nothing clear yet.
I would not tell anyone to dive in here, thats for sure.
Anyone give any insight!!! Dropped back down to the high 20 , where do you think this is going ?
Picked up some more. I nibble here, its nothing to write home about, yet anyhow.
More promo momo in place of the real thing. Go AVCVF!
I understand the need for private placements, but I do resent the fact that certain sellers seem to have "ESP" and manage to sell before the fact.

Vanadium and Energy Surety Partners Sign Teaming Agreement For Microgrid Developments
http://www.marketwatch.com/story/american-vanadium-and-energy-surety-partners-sign-teaming-agreement-for-microgrid-developments-2014-10-10?reflink=MW_news_stmp
They heard you. Here's your news. (subject to financing)
TORONTO (miningweekly.com) – North America’s first vanadium redox flow energy storage system provider American Vanadium on Friday announced that it had signed up its first customer, subject to financing.
American Vanadium said that it believed the order from Newfound Energies would enable them to switch their primary source of energy from diesel to renewables, resulting in significantly reduced diesel consumption and related costs, proving the powerful economic model for such applications.
The TSX-V-listed company, which was also developing what had been billed as the only economically viable vanadium deposit in North America, the Gibellini vanadium project, in Nevada, reported that Newfound Energies had signed a purchase order for two 30 KW to 130 KWh CellCube energy storage systems for integration into a remote microgrid fuel and logistics centre.
This signified the first purchase order for American Vanadium since striking a master agreement, in May last year, that allowed it to market and sell German energy solutions provider Gildemeister’s CellCube vanadium redox flow batteries in North America.
"This marks an important milestone on our path to commercialisation for the CellCube product line here in North America, which is recognised as the fastest-growing segment of the global market for energy storage. We are uniquely positioned with the CellCube system and, based on our sales pipeline and the ongoing developments in our markets, we are confident this is the start of a sales programme which will grow at an impressive pace," American Vanadium president and CEO Bill Radvak said, noting that with more than 100 systems installed globally and with an operating track record of close to five years, CellCube was both the first-mover and the market leader.
A recent, independent report from Navigant Research, pointed to microgrids emerging as a global phenomenon owing to their compelling features, including the ability to isolate themselves from the utility distribution system during power outages, and to employ the use of conventional fuels as well as to integrate diverse renewable energy sources.
The report also noted that advanced energy storage was expected to represent the single-largest investment category among microgrid-enabling technologies by 2023.
"We chose the CellCube technology because of its high-capacity and long-duration capabilities. Our remote locations need to utilise 100% depth of discharge of the systems every day in order to reach our efficiency targets. We simply cannot hit this mark and maintain battery performance over the life of our sites with other technologies.
“We are looking forward to our transition away from expensive diesel, and hope for this to be the first of many of our sites to benefit from this technology,” Newfound Energies president Gerry Skinner said.
The maiden commercial sale followed short on the heels of American Vanadium’s recent deployment of a CellCube at the US Department of Energy's National Renewable Energy Laboratory, in Colorado, and preceded the upcoming flagship roof-top installation with the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, in downtown Manhattan.

No news to counter, its cycling low again. thanks for reminding me, time to nibble again. anything below 60c to a dollar before production in late spring is good I believe.
Why is it dropping ?

AVCVF and the new energy paradigm
http://oilprice.com/Alternative-Energy/Renewable-Energy/Does-Vanadium-Hold-the-Key-to-Energy-Storage-Conundrum.html
At this time it is a noted coincidence that I an throwing out for comment and consideration ....if you review tesla news releases most of this information is provided on the patents and several interviews with state governors vying for the new battery plant. Tesla makes no bones about the next phase in battery development. They want to be the first in the country with EV cars that are capable of traveling within the same parameters as a gas powered vehicle.
The new battery design is envisioned to take place by 2017. A remarkable statement by Radavak in a CNBC interview as posted on American Vanadium's website, foretells of the vanadium mine's production being feathered (his own words), so as to bring full production online when maximum consumer need is present. A chart used in the article shows production with almost a verticals upward line in 2017. It is an amazing
correlation of business timelines that
jumps out at me!!!!
If AVCVF and Tesla get mentioned in the same press release, we'll be looking at a dollar in our rear view mirror.
Tesla has designed a new battery called the air battery which may utilize vanadium as a component ...three patents have been filed for this battery design. Tesla will be building a new battery factory in either Reno NV or in Texas very soon. Maybe Radavak and Elon Musk have had some talks at making a smaller car battery with vanadium supplied by American Vanadium. Comments????
This article helped me decide to buy this stock .....is there any validity to a potential teaming up of American vanadium and tesla????

American Vanadium eyes share of storage battery market
BY NINA CHESTNEY AND HARPREET BHAL
LONDON Wed Jun 11, 2014 7:12am EDT
(Reuters) - American Vanadium is aiming to capture a 20 percent share of the global market for energy-storing vanadium flow batteries by 2020 after it begins production at the only vanadium mine in the United States, its chief executive said.
Most vanadium has traditionally been used to strengthen steel but the metal is now also being employed as a component in batteries to store large amounts of power from renewable energy sources or to balance the grid when there are surges in demand.
American Vanadium, which is listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange, currently sells "CellCube" vanadium flow batteries made by German technology firm DMG Mori Seki.
It is also developing its own vanadium mine in Nevada so it has its own supply of the metal to produce electrolytes for vanadium flow batteries.
China is currently the world's biggest vanadium producer and consumer. Russia and South Africa also have significant resources.
American Vanadium expects its Gibellini mine - the only vanadium mine in the United States - to produce 11 million pounds (lbs) a year of vanadium pentoxide from 2017 which will be turned into electrolytes for energy storage batteries.
"The long-duration flow battery market is expected to be worth $5 billion in 2020. The CellCube is expected to be a major global player, capturing at least 20 percent of the market by then," Bill Radvak, the company's president and chief executive, said in an interview.
The electrolytes for flow batteries sell at around $25 a pound weight equivalent, compared to just $6.50 a pound for vanadium pentoxide for the steel-strengthening market, Radvak said.
"We are able to increase our margins several-fold by going into the electrolyte business," he added.
STORAGE NEEDS
Global demand for vanadium for use in strengthening steel is expected to double by 2025 from around 80,000 tonnes in 2012 and energy storage applications will add significantly to that, Radvak said.
Energy storage technologies, such as pumped hydro or advanced batteries, can help to manage the amount of power needed at peak times and variable supply from renewable energy sources.
The International Energy Agency has estimated that around 310 gigawatts of additional electricity storage capacity is needed in the United States, Europe, China and India to support more low-carbon power generation.
Vanadium flow batteries have a lower energy density than other types and are expensive, but have long lifetimes.
"The cost of these batteries is considered a high upfront capital cost but when they work for 20 years reliably every day, your return on the purchase is spectacular," Radvak said.
CellCube will be installed this year at the U.S. National Renewable Energy laboratory in Colorado and at the Metropolitan Transit Authority's building in New York City, he added.
Other players in the flow battery market include Japan's Sumitomo Electric and China's Dalian Bolong New Materials Co., but Radvak said CellCube was the only commercially-available vanadium flow battery at present.

American Vanadium Talks to Three Companies Seeking ‘Major’ Deals
By Louise Downing - May 20, 2014
American Vanadium (AVC) Corp., owner of the only known U.S. deposit of the metal, is in talks with a global power company and two large domestic solar developers on plans to use its battery technology in “major” contracts they’re seeking.
The three are targeting the deals to install solar and energy-storage microgrids this year, American Vanadium Chief Executive Officer Bill Radvak said in an interview in London.
“We’ve taken a partnering strategy as opposed to selling one-offs,” Radvak said. “We targeted the largest energy developers, solar developers and integrators in North America, proposing to be the solution provider for major companies that have either numerous customers or a backlog of significant projects in dire need of long-duration energy storage.”
American Vanadium sells vanadium-flow batteries under a long-term partnership with DMG Mori Seiki (GIL) AG’s Gildemeister unit. The company’s CellCube batteries store 100 kilowatts to 10 megawatts of energy from 4 to 12 hours. Unlike lead-acid or lithium-ion units, they can be recharged and discharged indefinitely, lasting as long as 20 years, according to Radvak.
Energy storage is increasingly important as economies shift to using power from the sun and wind that varies according to the weather. Batteries store spare power for release when demand peaks. California regulators in October ordered the state’s utilities to buy 1,325 megawatts of energy storage by 2020.
While American Vanadium’s focus is North American, it’s also interested in South American countries such as Chile, Radvak said. “When you add up all the global opportunities, CellCube sales could reach $1 billion a year,” he said.
The company in April agreed to install an energy-storage system designed to reduce power costs for the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, the operator of New York’s subways and buses. The MTA plans to charge the batteries at night when power is cheap and discharge them when energy is more expensive.

It's better than my WAGs. I appreciate your thoughts.
I suspect they could go into production at any time, but probably lack sufficient funding. I'm no mining expert, but I would be willing to bet there are significant start up costs involved. AVCVF appears to be concentrating on promoting and selling the Gildemeister Cellcube brand (for now) in order to have a ready made customer for the vanadium and perhaps a source of capital for the mining operation. How's that for a WAG?
flemsnopes, do you have any idea if they have received permitting approval for this project? It seems like this is all we are waiting on before this thing starts to take off. The last time I checked they were still waiting on enviromental impact studies and I haven't heard anything after that.
Obviously the viability testing going on in New York will have impact as well but this is a Vanadium play so whats the hold up with the permitting. Retorical question unless you know the answer, in which case please share.
Hopefully, we will consolidate around the .50 level and then move up on with news.
I suppose profit taking is inevitable, but it seems so short sighted somehow.
I suppose profit taking is inevitable, but it seems so short sighted somehow.
Final results for Friday 5/2/14: 390,571 shares traded, high - .69, low - .58, finishing at .66. We started the week at .49 for a 35% gain. Over the last 4 weeks (starting 4/2/14) we have an 88% gain. Nice.
Level II is showing around 5000 shares left in the sub $1 range, then it's anybody's guess where we go next.
We could soon be up over 100% in less than 10 trading days. Hopefully, the buying is from savvy investors intimately familiar with the technology. My amateur internet research is turning up some exciting potential for vanadium flow batteries as indicated in the article linked below. Investors normally react positively when they see the word "floodgates" used in describing the investment.
Floodgates Open For Vanadium Flow Batteries

PRESS RELEASE
AMERICAN VANADIUM PROMOTES BRIAN BECK TO VICE PRESIDENT, SALES
May 1, 2014 - AMERICAN VANADIUM CORP. (“American Vanadium” or the “Company”) (TSX.V: AVC) (OTCQX:
AVCVF) is pleased to announce the promotion of Brian Beck to Vice President, Sales. Mr. Beck, who was
Director of Sales at American Vanadium Corp., has been active in the field of energy storage, most recently
with vanadium flow battery companies Prudent Energy Corporation and VRB Power Systems Inc.
Brian Beck is a chartered engineer with over 30 years’ experience in the electrical industry in Europe and USA,
and has been an avid participant in electric supply restructuring in the UK as well as ongoing deregulation of
the power industry in North America. Since his role as General Manager of Caterpillar Energy Solutions, Mr.
Beck has held a wide variety of roles in power management, trading, deregulation, traditional utility grid
environments as well as remote and micro grid environments.
“Following our recent announcements on projects at the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) in
Manhattan and the US Department of Energy’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), it was
important to acknowledge Brian’s outstanding work in both our technical sales and general sales
management of the on and off grid markets and have him fill this critical senior position,” said Bill Radvak,
President and CEO of the Company. “Not only is Brian a seasoned sales and management leader, but his
accomplished background in energy storage and vanadium flow batteries makes him the perfect leader as we
set out on an aggressive strategy to partner with developers, integrators and engineering companies.”
The Company has granted 110,000 options to Mr. Beck at the exercise price of $0.60 each for a term of five
years from the date of grant. The stock options are granted pursuant to the Company’s Stock Option Plan, as
amende
Thanks for keeping us all up to speed. I'm excited about the future and hopefully not the distant future!
The buying has slowed down, so it looks like we won't make that high of the day close. I suppose it's still possible, but I suspect we will settle into the mid to upper .40 range for the day. We do have an hour and 20 minutes left and perhaps the buyers are just trying to cool down the prices for a final surge. LOL
Less than 10,000 shares left on the offer in the .50's but momentum has slowed considerably. If we can just close anywhere in the .50's today, the investing community radar should be picking up the blips very soon. Hold on to your hats if any recognizable analyst raises the rating.
Now Level II shows less than 30,000 shares in the .50's. Demand appears to be holding up very well, and the sellers are obviously beginning to take notice.
At least for the present time, there are about 120,000 shares still offered in the .50's, and then we'll basically be in unmarked territory. We may be in for an interesting finish today.
