Australian Vanadium awarded 21-year mining lease

August 31, 2020

Australian Vanadium has secured a mining lease for its vanadium-titanium-iron project in Western Australia.

The company has heralded the grant from the Western Australian Department of Mines, Industry, Regulation and Safety as a significant milestone in the project development, with the mining lease term lasting 21 years from August 28.

The lease will cover 70 per cent of the Australian Vanadium project’s declared mineral resources over a single continuous area.

In total, the Australian Vanadium project is comprised of 11 tenements, all of which are held by Australian Vanadium.

“The grant of the mining lease is an important milestone for AVL (Australian Vanadium) and provides certainty to investors and potential project financiers in Australia and globally,” Australian Vanadium managing director Vincent Algar said.

The project is one of the highest grade vanadium projects worldwide, with a 208.2 million tonne resource at 0.74 per cent vanadium pentoxide.

It also includes a high grade zone of 87.9 million tonnes at 1.06 per cent vanadium oxide.

The mining lease will continue to advance the completion of the project’s approvals to begin operations.

Technology Metals Australia shores up gas supply for Gabanintha vanadium project

Posted by Daniel Gleeson on 23rd October 2020

Technology Metals Australia (TMT) says it has entered into a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with APA Group under which TMT and APA have agreed to investigate the provision of gas transportation services along a new gas pipeline to be developed by APA from the south to supply gas to the Gabanintha vanadium project, in Western Australia.

.....

The Gabanintha DFS outlined an operation with a 16-year-plus mine life, operating at an average vanadium pentoxide production rate of 27.9 MIb/y. This came with a pre-production capital cost of $318 million and operating costs of $4.04/Ib of V2O5.

Du minerai de Vanadium Brésilien pour Largo Clean Energy, qui veut fabriquer des batteries à flux redox au Vanadium.
Largo to supply vanadium to clean energy storage co.

MINING.COM Staff Writer | December 9, 2020

Largo Resources (TSX: LGO) announced the launch of Largo Clean Energy, a newly formed company in the US state of Delaware whose focus will be on providing long-duration vanadium redox flow battery systems for the renewable energy storage market.

The vanadium for the batteries is to come from Largo’s 17,690-hectare Maracás Menchen mine located in the east-central state of Bahia, in Brazil.

The operation is expected to produce between 11,750 and 12,250 tonnes of vanadium pentoxide in 2020. From the raw material, Largo produces standard grade vanadium pentoxide, high purity vanadium pentoxide and high purity vanadium powder.

According to the miner, one of the objectives behind the creation of Largo Clean Energy is to open additional commercial and growth opportunities for its high purity vanadium products at attractive overall economics.

The new company will also work on commercializing VRFB technology that was previously owned by VionX Energy, a firm that had been involved in the renewable energy storage market since 2002.

“The acquisition of patented VRFB electrolyte processing technology along with the utilization of industry-leading flow battery stack design and supply of Largo’s reliable, high-purity vanadium has culminated in the formation of a uniquely positioned renewable energy storage business,” Paulo Misk, Largo’s president and CEO, said in a media statement.

“The patented VRFB technology and proprietary vanadium electrolyte processing system can deliver cost-competitive performance over a 20+ year life cycle with nominal degradation. In general, the VRFB is intrinsically safe with no fire risk from thermal runaway. Additionally, the contained vanadium electrolyte can be recycled for reuse in other VRFB installments at the end of the battery life.”

Despite the hopeful outlook, Misk recognized that the company’s revenues will continue to be largely driven by sales in the global steel industry and high purity aerospace and chemical markets.

“But as vanadium demand from global VRFB deployments expands in the coming years, we expect significant growth in the VRFB sector,” the executive said.

Projet de batterie a flux au Vanadium pour des bateaux, en Europe.
Flow battery project to power ships

January 08, 2021 //By Nick Flaherty

A new research company in Europe will develop a complete vanadium flow battery to provide power to electric motors for ships
A European project is using a vanadium flow battery for an electric power system for ships


Conoship in the Netherlands and Vega Reederei in Germany are using technology from Vanadium Corp in Canada in a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) company.

The new company will develop a next-generation redox flow-battery stack based on a high-energy-density vanadium electrolyte that is specifically formulated for marine applications.

Flow batteries have a lower power density but use scalable tanks to provide power over a long period. This works well for marine applications and the project aims to extend the established Vanadium Redox Flow Battery (VFRB) technology into this area.

MERGER CREATES VFRB GIANT

Vanadium Corp will contribute new flow-battery designs, a high-energy-density electrolyte formulation, manage research and development, and provide its network of manufacturing partners to Conoship for the marine engineering designs to integrate the more compact redox flow-battery into the propulsion systems of marine vessels and ships. VEGA will arrange project financing, contribute fleet operations expertise, and conduct field testing of the marine battery prototype.

Vanadium Corp has been working with the German-Australian Alliance for Electrochemical Technologies for the Storage of Renewable Energy (CENELEST) on the technology since 2017. Cenelest combines expertise in redox flow battery systems from the Fraunhofer ICT (Institute for Chemical Technology) in Germany and the University of New South Wales (UNSW) in Australia. This is developing a new electrolyte, V-Br, with an energy density up to three times higher than current electrolyte formulations. This separate project aims to demonstrate a cell in Q1 this year but will be key to the marine project.

“Greenhouse gas reduction is exceptionally challenging for the shipping industry. The industry’s 2050 climate goal of halving greenhouse gas emissions from 2008 levels can only be achieved with the accelerated construction of Zero-Emission Ships and novel solutions,” said Adriaan Bakker, CEO of VanadiumCorp.

“We are at the forefront of VRFB innovation with CENELEST that could facilitate the electrification of both stationary and mobile applications. Vanadium is the only renewable metal in energy storage, and we plan to produce it with our 100% owned green technology as green fuel in energy storage that can be scaled to any size,” he said.
The next generation VRFB Battery design and the new high energy electrolyte solves the challenge of high-energy-density not met by conventional VRFBs, says Bakker. Solving the energy-density challenge allows the SPV designs to scale to large capacities and vastly extend energy storage beyond lithium-ion’s typical 4-8 hour operating time.

The first phase of the project will be managed by VanadiumCorp GmbH, under the direction of Chief Technology Officer, Dr. G. Y. Champagne. A multidisciplinary engineering team, located in Germany, Netherlands, and North America is focusing on VRFB system architecture, components & parts design and other required tasks leading up to delivering VRFB cells and stacks of incremental sizes for testing to local R&D partners near the VanadiumCorp GmbH plant. R&D partners will also conduct some specific lab-level material and electrolyte tests to support the engineering work and integration of the VRFB in marine vessels.

Over 2,000 ships were built based on Conoship designs, operating all around the world.

Australian government praises vanadium project
The Australian government has recognized TNG’s flagship Mount Peake Project – a mine that includes production plans for vanadium redox flow batteries and green hydrogen – as nationally significant.

MARCH 9, 2021 BELLA PEACOCK

TNG’s Mount Peake Vanadium-Titanium-Iron Project (Mount Peake Project) in Australia's Northern Territory – the world’s most advanced vanadium mine – secured “major project status” from the federal government on Monday.

The project spans two separate sites, including a mine located 235 km north of Alice Springs and a processing facility in Darwin’s investment priority area, the Middle Arm Precinct. Perth-based TNG describes the project as a “world class multi-commodity resource with in-country value adding.”

The project is set to annually produce around 6,000 tons of vanadium pentoxide to be used for vanadium redox flow batteries and steel strengthening, as well as massive quantities of iron oxide and titanium pigment. This will be done through TNG’s patented TIVAN process, which the company says allows it to “overcome limitations of the conventional processing.”

Last year, Perth-based TNG set up its own green-focused subsidiary, TNG Energy. The company is now developing applications for vanadium redox flow batteries (VRFBs). But TNG is not the only Australian company vertically integrating its vanadium-based projects. In 2016, Australian Vanadium set up a subsidiary, VSUN Energy, to drive market demand for VRFBs and help raise capital needed to open its Western Australian vanadium mine.

Vanadium redox battery provider VRB Energy, which is majority-owned by Canada-based metals exploration company High Power Exploration Inc. (HPX), has unveiled a plan to build a gigafactory for the production of vanadium redox flow batteries in China.

The company said it has signed a framework agreement for the 1 GW project with the government of Xiangyang–a prefecture-level city in northwestern Hubei province; and Chinese investment firm Xiangyang High-tech State-owned Capital Investment and Operation Group.

The agreement includes the setting up of an R&D facility and the development and construction of a 100 MW solar plant linked to a 100 MW/500 MWh vanadium flow battery in Xiangyang. “VRB Energy’s 100 MW project in Hubei is among a growing number of 100 MW flow battery projects being prioritized in China as part of its national energy storage policy and accelerated infrastructure investment in support of post-Covid economic growth,” the manufacturer said.

The construction of the factory is expected to be started by May. “This project is a massive catalyst for VRB Energy’s global growth and further demonstrates that we are developing the absolute best technologies to support the worldwide green energy revolution,” said the company's CEO, Robert Friedland.

VRB Energy claims its vanadium redox flow storage systems rely on low-cost ion-exchange membrane and bipole material, and long-life electrolyte formulation. The standard battery power module is rated at 250 kW for megawatt-class systems. The modules, according to the company, are combined with electrolyte storage tanks and power conversion systems to form systems from 250 kW/1 MWh up. VRB Energy also claims the device can go through an almost unlimited number of charge and discharge cycles for over 25 years.

Prospect de Vanadium au Brésil, à Itaituba .
Lara reports extensive vanadium mineralization at Itaituba project in Brazil

MINING.COM Staff Writer | April 13, 2021

Lara Exploration (TSXV: LRA) reported that recent work at its Itaítuba property in Brazil has shown that the project not only contains vanadium-bearing magnetite bodies but its host gabbros also contain disseminated vanadium-bearing magnetite that can be concentrated to enrich the vanadium grade.

“Half core samples from four scout holes were subjected to Davis Tube Recovery testing and the resulting magnetic concentrates then assayed for vanadium pentoxide. In the fresh rock sections of three of the holes (holes SR-02, SR-03 and SR-04), significant intervals were identified, where the magnetite concentrate recovery values are in the order of 10 to 20% of the original core sample mass,” the company said in a media statement.

SIGN UP FOR THE BATTERY METALS DIGEST
“In two of these holes (SR-03 and SR-04) the V2O5 grades for these concentrates are in the order of 0.8% to 1.1%.”

According to the Canadian miner, a review of the ground magnetic data indicates that drill hole SR-04 is located central to a large anomaly at the southern end of the complex, indicating the possibility that the vanadium-bearing disseminated magnetite units could have a large horizontal extent in the area.

Lara also pointed out that holes SR-02 and SR-03, which reported narrower and lower grade vanadium pentoxide intersections, are both located in a similar-sized magnetic anomaly immediately to the north of the SR-04 zone, and that surface geological mapping suggests that the entire ridge is underlain by the gabbro complex.

“Further work is planned, including extensions to the original ground magnetics survey, geological mapping with the objective to identify the more magnetite-rich ferro-gabbro phases within the complex, and drill testing of the priority target unit already identified at the southern end of the complex, as well as scout drilling at other priority magnetic zones in the central and northern parts of the complex,” the company said.

The Itaítuba project is located in the Tapajós region of northern Brazil.

Vanadium is used in redox flow battery systems for renewable energy storage applications.

Australian vanadium companies unveil new flow-battery strategies
Australian Vanadium filed a patent application this week for its vanadium processing route, while rival TNG signed a deal to commercialize vanadium redox flow batteries.

APRIL 14, 2021 BELLA PEACOCK

Image

Vanadium redox flow batteries are still not major technologies in the Australian energy storage market, even though they were first developed on Australian soil almost 40 years ago. But this week, in a strange synchronicity, two Australian vanadium producers announced new strategic plans.

TNG Limited, anAustralian mining technology company that owns the Mount Peake vanadium-titanium-iron project, said this week that it has agreed to set up a joint venture with Singapore-based vanadium redox flow battery manufacturer V-Flow Tech. They will collaborate on the development and delivery of new energy power systems, underpinned by vanadium redox flow batteries. V-Flow will supply the battery systems, while TNG will supply high-purity vanadium electrolyte to operate them.

The vanadium electrolyte will be produced at TNG’s Mount Peake project, 230 km north of Alice Springs in the Northern Territory. The site is set to produce around 6,000 tons of vanadium pentoxide for vanadium redox flow batteries. TNG said the joint venture represents a major step toward in achieving its vision of becoming a commercial supplier of vanadium redox flow battery systems in Australia.

Australian Vanadium, meanwhile, also announced plans this week to become a commercial supplier of vanadium flow batteries in Australia. It is now developing a new strategy under its VSUN unit. Australian Vanadium is also following in TNG’s footsteps, as it has filed a patent application for its vanadium processing route.

Largo Resources taps Brazil in vanadium battery push

Reuters | May 4, 2021

US-based Largo Clean Energy is preparing to produce batteries using vanadium extracted from northeastern Brazil, the company’s chief executive said on Tuesday, in a bid to capture a chunk of the fast-growing renewable energy storage market.


The company, whose parent Largo Resources Ltd is mining the elemental metal in the Brazilian state of Bahia, is in advanced negotiations with potential clients, said Paulo Misk, CEO of the Largo group. He says the firm’s vanadium batteries are lower cost and last longer than rival solutions, such as lithium.

“Our battery isn’t competing with car batteries,” he said in a video interview. “Our battery is meant to make renewable energy, particularly solar and wind, viable in the sense of making up 100% of the energy matrix.”

While vanadium battery technology is not new, it is widely viewed as an up-and-coming industrial solution for renewable energy providers looking to scale up.

The energy storage market grew at a record pace in 2020, driven by the Asia-Pacific region, according to a report from Wood Mackenzie. The consultancy sees the Americas region becoming the industry’s center by 2025, driven by activity in the United States.

The company should begin delivering its first vanadium batteries next year and is in conversations with potential clients in Europe, Australia and Africa, Misk said.

Largo Clean Energy was created in 2020 after Largo Resources acquired vanadium battery patents and hired specialists experienced with the technology.

Misk said Largo’s vanadium batteries will have an effective life of 20 years, versus seven years for many lithium batteries. The company will offer leasing contracts to clients, in order to attend to shorter term commercial needs.
