VTM mineralization is at surface, open at depth and along strike. Consistent drill results, trench samples and geophysics along the entire 22km strike-length confirm remarkably similar geology to the Lac Doré Vanadium Project including virtually no impurities and exceptional metallurgical recoveries.

Mike England, President of Alix Resources stated “We are very excited to be entering into the vanadium space with long term vanadium developer VanadiumCorp. Their years of experience and knowledge will be a great benefit to Alix and its shareholders.”
VanadiumCorp is developing new processing technology for efficient and carbon free direct recovery of vanadiferous titanomagnetite “VTM” into vanadium electrolyte and other vanadium, iron and titanium products without slagging, smelting and roasting and it is understood Alix will have access to this technology as it pertains to the Iron-T Vanadium Project. Trial production of iron, titanium and vanadium directly from VRB’s Lac Dore VTM concentrate in Phase II development of Vanadiumcorp-Electrochem Technology has recently commenced.
