Sorry I haven't checked here recently and missed your question until now. Working with the best engineers and consultant like AMEC and Roskill means recursively questioning, analyzing and confirming every detail of a report like this. We have been as eager as our investors to see this final bankable study. This two month delay meant we could not actively promote or even discuss our investment potential on the outdated Scoping Study numbers. So as of today we are out from what was effectively a "quiet period" and will be aggressively pursuing institutional capex funding, off-take agreements, strategic partners (for developing the battery market), and retail awareness globally.
Respectfully,
Michael Hyslop

American Vanadium Eyes Foray into Renewable Energy
"American Vanadium Corp. (TSX: AVC), formerly Rocky Mountain Resources Corp., a small Vancouver-based mining company primarily engaged in the exploration and acquisition of the metal-alloying element vanadium, is primed to enter the clean energy race.
It would seem, at first blush, that vanadium, a heavy metal found in crude oil, is an unlikely candidate for a darling role in the renewables industry. But probe a bit further and the metallic element used to strengthen steel—often for use in construction, military and aerospace applications—has other unique properties.
Adding vanadium to lithium-based batteries allows them to store more energy, provide more power and be recharged faster. Expanding on this technology, the element has the potential to play a vital role in a key aspect of green power production: large-capacity energy storage, the answer to intermittent power supplies inherent with solar and wind energy. American Vanadium is poised to tap this burgeoning market in North America.
The company is currently developing the Gibellini Project, a vanadium mining operation about 25 miles south of Eureka, Nevada, and has recently completed successful pilot testing of the vanadium electrolyte used in vanadium redox batteries, or VRBs. VRBs have shown great promise for grid-scale storage in research conducted by the U.S. Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory.
With a new CFO onboard, plans to raise around $1 million to finance ongoing operations, and commercial production of vanadium electrolyte under way, strategic partnerships with flow cell battery producers appear sure to follow."

News Release: American Vanadium Announced First Production of Vanadium
AMERICAN VANADIUM ANNOUNCES FIRST PRODUCTION OF VANADIUM PENTOXIDE AND VANADIUM ELECTROLYTE
August 22, 2011 - AMERICAN VANADIUM CORP. (the “Company”) (TSX.V: AVC) announces that pilot scale metallurgical testing resulted in the creation of two high quality products: vanadium pentoxide (“purple flake”) and vanadium electrolyte. Purple flake is critical as a steel strengthener as well as for higher value applications in the titanium and chemical industries. Vanadium electrolyte, also a high value product, is used in vanadium flow batteries for utility scale energy storage. This emerging use for vanadium will greatly contribute to the integration of intermittent renewable resources into electrical grids and has the potential to create significant demand for vanadium.
“We are very excited as the textbook results of this pilot scale testing are an important validation of our metallurgical process,” stated Bill Radvak, President & CEO of American Vanadium Corp. “This is a major milestone as we have demonstrated that our process can produce vanadium products with higher value while also meeting the steadily growing needs of the steel industry. We will be using the resultant materials to pursue off-takes with steel companies as well as partnerships and joint ventures with vanadium flow battery technology and manufacturing companies.”

Hello Coinmaker and WildBill
I am also available here at iHub if you have any questions you would like to ask the company directly. As Director of Corporate Development at AVC I have decided to make myself 100% available to all who want to discuss the company activities directly with the company.
I can tell you right now that there has been no material change in the company to justify the recent pullback in share price. I can also tell you that we are still on track to opening America's only vanadium mine by the end of next year.
If I see any misinformation on this board I will jump in with the facts from 'the horse's mouth'.
Let me know if any further questions to answer.
Regards to all of you,
Michael Hyslop
