## Minestarters Atlas summary

VanadiumCorp provided an update on its vanadium-titanium-iron projects in Quebec, highlighting historical resource estimates for the Lac Doré and Iron-T projects. The company is also advancing its proprietary VEPT™ metal recovery technology and reviewing gold potential at the Lac Laura property.

Reasoning: The company is providing a strategic update on existing assets and historical resources rather than announcing new drill results or a fresh resource estimate.

- Positive factor: Strategic alignment with critical minerals designation

- Positive factor: Large historical resource at Lac Doré

- Positive factor: Proprietary technology patent approval

- Negative factor: Data is historical/stale

- Negative factor: Resource updates are pending rather than completed

Facts used in scoring: 3

## Classification and evidence

**Inferred Resource**

Polarity: negative

Definition: Speculative category — limited drilling, geological continuity assumed but not confirmed. Cannot support economic studies alone.

Why it applies: The Iron-T project resource is reported as 14.38 million tonnes of inferred resources.

Evidence · text

> 14.38 million tonnes of inferred resources at 0.42% V₂O₅

**Historical Estimate Only**

Polarity: negative

Definition: Estimate pre-dates or does not comply with current JORC/NI 43-101 standards — requires verification drilling.

Why it applies: The Lac Doré and Iron-T resource estimates are explicitly described as historical.

Evidence · text

> The resource estimate referenced herein is historical in nature.

**QP/CP Signed**

Polarity: positive

Definition: 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: Andre Gauthier, P. Eng. P. GEO. Msc. A. is named as the qualified person who reviewed the release.

Evidence · text

> Director, Andre Gauthier, P. Eng. P. GEO. Msc. A. is the qualified person

## 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.
