RVT / RKP Collaboration and Downstream Pathway Development

RVT continues to advance its collaboration with RKP Global Ltd (RKP), with growing alignment across technical, commercial and downstream development pathways.

Initial test work undertaken by RKP has delivered encouraging early indications that a direct vanadium concentrate-to-electrolyte processing pathway may be technically feasible, subject to further optimisation and validation. This work is focused on simplifying traditional processing routes, reducing complexity and supporting the development of a more integrated and cost-effective mine-to-battery model. To support the next phase of technical evaluation, RVT is progressing the production of an additional ~250kg of vanadium concentrate for further electrolyte test work in collaboration with RKP. Preliminary results from this next phase are expected in the December Quarter 2026

The objective of this work is to assess pathways to bypass conventional processing steps and support a more integrated concentrate-to-electrolyte model, with the potential to reduce exposure to traditional vanadium price volatility.

In parallel, RVT and RKP have progressed their engagement in downstream deployment opportunities, including participation in the Western Australian Government's Expression of Interest (EOI) process for the proposed Kalgoorlie Vanadium Battery Energy Storage System (VBESS).

The initial EOI submission, completed during the quarter, represents an important step in aligning RVT's upstream development with emerging large-scale vanadium flow battery (VFB) deployment pathways in Australia.

Building on this, RVT and RKP are actively preparing for the next stage of the EOI process, expected to be released by the Western Australian Government in late April 2026. This next phase is anticipated to involve more detailed technical, commercial and delivery considerations, reflecting the scale and complexity of grid-scale long-duration energy storage projects.

Vanadium Market, Value Chain and Energy Storage Demand

Vanadium Value Chain: Mining to Concentrate Processing

Vanadium projects typically begin with mining and beneficiation of ore to produce a vanadium-bearing concentrate or intermediate product suitable for further processing¹.

Historically, the vanadium market has been driven primarily by steel and alloy demand, with vanadium products including vanadium pentoxide (V₂O₅), ferrovanadium and other chemical derivatives used across industrial applications².

For emerging energy storage applications, the upstream mining and concentrate stage represents only the initial phase of the value chain. Additional value may be created through downstream processing into battery-grade vanadium products and electrolyte suitable for vanadium flow battery (VFB) systems³.

This shift underpins a broader transition from a traditional commodity supply model toward an integrated mine-to-battery value chain, where vanadium is increasingly linked to energy storage deployment rather than solely industrial demand.

Midstream Processing: Concentrate to Battery-Grade Products

The midstream stage involves converting concentrate into refined vanadium products, including vanadium pentoxide and battery-grade vanadium compounds required for electrolyte production⁴.

Processing capability is strategically significant, as value within critical minerals supply chains is increasingly captured through refining, chemical conversion and manufacturing, rather than upstream extraction alone⁵.

Government policy in Australia reflects this shift, with a focus on expanding domestic processing capability, downstream manufacturing and integrated supply chains for critical minerals and battery materials⁶.

For vanadium, this midstream capability is essential to enabling sovereign long-duration energy storage supply chains, as VFB deployment requires consistent access to high-quality vanadium feedstock.

Australian Context – Sovereignty and Value Capture

Australia holds a significant global vanadium resource base but is not currently a major producer of refined vanadium products.

Government policy is increasingly focused on:

  • developing domestic processing capability
  • supporting downstream manufacturing
  • capturing greater value from critical minerals

The Western Australian Government’s Battery and Critical Minerals Strategy highlights the importance of integrating mining, processing and advanced manufacturing to support energy transition outcomes⁶.

This creates an opportunity for projects capable of:

  • progressing approvals
  • aligning with downstream processing pathways

Electrolyte: The Value Inflection Point

In vanadium flow batteries, vanadium is used in liquid electrolyte form to store and release energy. Unlike conventional battery materials that degrade over time, vanadium electrolyte can be recovered, reused and recycled, supporting long asset life and circular economy models$^{7}$.

The electrolyte represents a key value inflection point in the mine-to-battery pathway, transforming vanadium from a commodity input into a functional energy storage medium.

Electrolyte leasing and retained-ownership models allow the vanadium component to be separated from the battery system itself, reducing upfront capital costs and improving financing structures$^{8}$.

These models enable vanadium to function as a recoverable asset rather than a consumable input, preserving residual value and improving lifecycle economics$^{9}$.

Mine-to-Battery Integration

The emergence of electrolyte as a core value driver is enabling a shift toward integrated “mine-to-battery” supply chains.

This model links:

  • upstream resource development
  • midstream processing (including electrolyte production)
  • downstream deployment of energy storage systems

Integration across these stages provides:

  • improved cost control
  • enhanced supply chain security
  • alignment between production and end-use demand

This reflects a broader global trend toward vertically integrated critical mineral supply chains, particularly in jurisdictions seeking to capture greater economic value from resource development$^{6}$.

Electrolyte Economics and Levelised Cost of Storage (LCOS)

The chemical stability of vanadium enables alternative commercial models not available to other battery chemistries.

Vanadium electrolyte can be:

  • leased rather than purchased
  • retained as a recoverable asset
  • redeployed across multiple battery systems

This shifts the economic model from a consumable input to a circulating asset within the energy system, reducing upfront capital intensity and improving long-term project economics$^{8}$.

As a result, VFB systems demonstrate strong competitiveness in long-duration applications when assessed on a levelised cost of storage (LCOS) basis.

Key drivers include:

  • minimal degradation over time
  • extended operational life (20+ years)
  • no replacement cycle requirements
  • retained value of electrolyte

These characteristics support lower lifecycle costs relative to short-duration storage technologies as duration requirements increase$^{10}$.

Vanadium and Long-Duration Energy Storage

Vanadium is increasingly recognised for its role in long-duration energy storage, with VFBs enabling scalable, long-life storage solutions for grid, industrial and remote power applications⁷.

VFB systems are particularly suited to applications requiring extended discharge duration, high cycling capability and separation of power and energy capacity, enabling scalability for large stationary systems¹¹.

Global Energy Demand and Structural Shift

Global energy systems are undergoing a structural transition toward electrification.

The International Energy Agency identifies a shift toward an “Age of Electricity,” with electricity demand expected to grow faster than total energy demand as economies electrify and digitalise⁵.

A key driver of this growth is the rapid expansion of data centres and artificial intelligence infrastructure, with global electricity demand from data centres projected to increase significantly over the coming decade¹².

This demand profile is:

  • continuous and non-discretionary
  • highly concentrated
  • dependent on reliable, high-quality power supply

These characteristics are increasing pressure on electricity systems to provide firm, dispatchable energy.

The Role of Long-Duration Energy Storage

As renewable penetration increases, electricity systems require storage solutions capable of delivering energy over extended durations.

Short-duration storage (typically 2–4 hours) is effective for managing price volatility but insufficient to maintain system reliability at high renewable penetration levels.

Long-duration energy storage (LDES), typically defined as 6–12+ hours, is required to:

  • firm intermittent renewable generation
  • maintain grid stability
  • support continuous industrial and digital loads

Industry analysis indicates that multiple terawatts of LDES capacity may be required globally by 2040, reflecting the scale of the opportunity¹³.

In regions with weak or isolated grids, such as parts of regional Australia, these requirements are further amplified, increasing the need for scalable storage solutions.

ASX Listing Rules Appendix 5B (17/07/20)

Appendix 5B
Mining exploration entity or oil and gas exploration entity quarterly cash flow report

Market Adoption: Industrial and Grid Applications

LDES is expected to play a central role in supporting industries requiring reliable, dispatchable and low-emissions power.

Key demand sectors include:

  • data centres and digital infrastructure
  • mining and industrial electrification
  • grid stability and renewable firming
  • corporate power procurement (PPAs)
  • remote and weak-grid systems

The Australian Energy Market Operator highlights the importance of storage and system flexibility in maintaining system security as renewable penetration increases¹⁴.

For industrial users, VFBs offer advantages in long-duration applications due to long operating life, low degradation, non-flammable electrolyte and suitability for repeated deep cycling¹⁵.

Industrial Demand Drivers

The next phase of electricity demand growth is being driven by industries requiring continuous, high-reliability power supply.

Data Centres and Digital Infrastructure

Rapid expansion of AI and cloud computing is increasing electricity demand intensity, with data centres requiring uninterrupted power and long-duration backup capability¹².

Mining and Industrial Electrification

Electrification of mining operations and autonomous systems is increasing demand for reliable off-grid and hybrid energy solutions, where long-duration storage can reduce reliance on diesel generation¹⁰.

Grid Stability and Energy Security

As renewable penetration increases, energy storage plays a critical role in maintaining system reliability and managing peak demand.

Corporate Energy Procurement

Large energy users are increasingly securing renewable energy through PPAs, requiring firming capacity to ensure reliability and price stability.
