The Miranna area is characterized by a strongly mineralized (niobium-tantalum-phosphate), glacially dispersed, boulder train with a source interpreted to be potentially on the company's property. Prospecting work in the area continues to identify numerous, well-mineralized boulders, with the 2017 program returning a peak niobium sample of 4.30% niobium oxide, 240 parts per mil - lion tantalum oxide and 13.4% phosphate, and a peak tantalum sample of 1.16% Nb 2 O 5 , 700 ppm Ta 2 O 5 and 0.65% P 2 O 5 . Sherrit International Corp. [S-TSX] is one of the world's largest producers of nickel and cobalt from lateritic sources with operations in Canada, Cuba and Madagascar. Sherritt's cobalt is mainly pro- duced in the form of a briquette, a product type that battery makers find more ame- nable for their manufacturing processes than alternatives. Since most of the world's cobalt supply comes from the DRC, Sherritt can offer battery makers an alternative source of secure supply given that its pro - duction is from Cuba and Madagascar. As a low-cost, high purity producer of Class 1 nickel, Sherritt is poised to take advantage of growing demand from battery makers, which is also expected to help alleviate a supply deficit over the next several years. VanadiumCorp Resource Inc.'s [VRB- TSXV; APAFF-OTCQX; NWN-FSE] flagship Lac Dore VTM project spans over 45 km 2 and is located close to the mining centre of Chibougamau, Québec. NI 43-101 vana - dium resources are 621 million lbs V 2 O 5 from VTM concentrate grading 1.08% V 2 O 5 . Mineralization is open at depth and along strike. Located adjacent to the min- ing centre of Matagami, Québec, 350 km west of Lac Dore, the company's Iron-T Project has a NI 43-101 VTM resource in the Genesis Zone of 14,376,000 tonnes inferred at 0.42% V 2 O 5 . VTM mineralization is at surface, open at depth and along strike. VanadiumCorp has partnered with Electrochem which has invented a new chemical process that has the potential to revolutionize energy storage, steel making, vanadium applications, iron production, titanium industries and more. The pat - ent-pending process technology recovers maximum value of all contained metals from single source feedstocks and wastes while integrating it with Electrochem's patented electrowinning technology aimed to replace conventional iron and steel - making that uses half the energy and a negligible carbon footprint. Vanadium One Energy Corp. [VONE- TSXV; 9VR1-FSE] has shipped 738 samples for assaying from its Phase 2A drilling program on its Mont Sorcier iron-vana- dium-titanium project near Chibougamau, Québec, as it works toward confirming the non-NI 43-101 compliant historical resources in the North Zone (154 million tonnes) and the South Zone (91 million tonnes), about 1 km apart. The company also has a manganese exploration project near Clinton, British Columbia. n SPECIALTY METALS
