Minestarters Atlas analysis
Summary
CleanTech Vanadium highlights the alignment between its projects and a new US$1 billion DOE initiative to secure critical mineral supply chains. The company specifically notes its Gibellini vanadium project in Nevada, which has received a positive EIS Record of Decision and features a highly favorable strip ratio.
Reasoning: The company restates its Gibellini vanadium resource which is well-positioned for federal funding due to its low strip ratio and recent environmental approval.
Positive factors
- Positive EIS Record of Decision received
- Low strip ratio (0.4 to 1) improves economics
- Alignment with US DOE funding initiatives
Negative factors
- Resource is primarily vanadium, but company also focuses on fluorspar projects
Facts used in scoring: 2
Classification and evidence
NI 43-101 Compliantpositive
Resource estimate prepared in compliance with NI 43-101 (Canada) — high reporting standard.
Why it applies: The technical report for the Gibellini project is a NI 43-101 report.
Evidence · text
“NI 43-101 Technical Report on Mineral Resources”
Inferred Resourcenegative
Speculative category — limited drilling, geological continuity assumed but not confirmed. Cannot support economic studies alone.
Why it applies: The company reports a significant portion of the Gibellini resource in the inferred category.
Evidence · text
“31.5 million tons grading 0.31% V 2 O 5 (195 million pounds of vanadium pentoxide) in inferred category”
QP/CP Signedpositive
Qualified Person (QP) or Competent Person (CP) named and signed off — a member of a recognized professional association (e.g., AusIMM, SME, AIG, P.Geo) with relevant experience.
Why it applies: Carlos Zamora, a member of AIPG and CPG, is named as the Qualified Person.
Evidence · text
“prepared under the supervision of Carlos Zamora, is a member of the American Institute of Professional Geologists (AIPG) and a Certified Professional Geologist (CPG)”

How Atlas produces this analysis
Minestarters Atlas uses automated extraction to summarize mining announcements, identify reported measurements, and classify supporting evidence. Sentiment reflects the extracted narrative and classification rules; it is an interpretation, not a reported measurement. Evidence quotes and context are provided where available. Missing data, low-confidence results, and review flags indicate limitations. Check the original publisher announcement before relying on an interpretation.
