ACTIVITIES REPORT – DECEMBER QUARTER 2020

HIGHLIGHTS

  • Funding secured to provide the Company with financial means to commence with a Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS) to advance its world class Steelpoortdrift vanadium project (Project)

  • Including cash reserves (as at 31 December 2020), the Company has approx. A$957,400 of financial means available to advance the Project

  • Board changes made to assist in completing the PFS and to achieve the Company’s goals

  • Stable trading in the vanadium market continues with demand increasing, long term demand for vanadium and vanadium products remains strong

  • Consideration for the divestment of 100% owned Quartz Bore project in the Pilbara, Western Australia

PRE-FEASIBILITY STUDY FUNDING

The Company secured funding of A$500,000 (before costs) via the issue of a convertible loan facility to the Directors and shareholders of the Company. The Company has additionally released cash resources of A$442,900, which arose from the replacement of a cash rehabilitation guarantee with a rehabilitation guarantee backed by a policy of insurance with Centriq Insurance Holdings Limited. As detailed in the ASX announcement, “Funding Update”, on the 30[th] December 2020, following the provision of the convertible loan facility, completion of the Centriq policy of insurance and the existing cash balance, the Company had, as at 31[st] December 2020, approx. A$957,400 (after costs) of financial means available to it, to advance its world class Steelpoortdrift vanadium project.

Details of the entities entering into the convertible loan facility, including those related to directors and the full terms of the facility are contained in the ASX Announcements of 27[th] August 2020 and 31[st] August 2020. As at the date of this report no funds had been drawn down from the facility.

Vanadium Resources Limited (ASX.VR8) 108 Outram Street West Perth, WA 6005 Australia +61-8 6158 9990 • [email protected] • www.VR8.global

The funding is necessary for the Company to advance its Steelpoortdrift Vanadium project through further studies. Following securing the required cash resources, the Company made preparations for its Pre-Feasibility study, which commenced on 22[nd] January 2021 and is expected to be completed in Q2 2021 (i.e. June quarter), at an anticipated cost of A$300,000. Once completed, it is expected that the Company will conduct the studies and work required to finalise a definitive feasibility study over the Steelpoortdrift vanadium project.

SCOPING STUDY

During the quarter the Company completed its scoping study to produce vanadium pentoxide at the Steelpoortdrift Vanadium project. Scoping Study marketing documents are planned to be distributed to a select number of Strategic and Offtake parties during the March quarter of 2021. The scoping study established that the Steelpoortdrift project, at the then current vanadium prices, exhibits significant potential for the following: a NPV8% value of up to US$401m, robust returns (pre-tax EBITDA of up to US$1.9B), a resilience to low price environments (average cash operating costs as low as $3.07/lb V2O5), competitive capex (up to US$187m), attractive payback (between 2-3 years) and IRR (of up to 45%, assuming a 50:50 debt/equity).

BOARD AND MANAGEMENT CHANGES

During the quarter the Company restructured its board and management team in preparation for the next phase of development. Mr Eugene Nel was appointed CEO for the purposes of completing the PFS and Mr John Ciganek was appointed as a Non-Executive Director of the Company to apply his industryspecific skills in securing debt and equity funding.

QUARTZ BORE PROJECT

The Company is considering the divestment of its 100% owned Quartz Bore project in the Pilbara region of Western Australia. The Quartz Bore project is an advanced zinc-copper exploration project with over 11,000 metres of drilling completed and with numerous high-grade zinc and copper intersections. Since 2017, the Company has spent over A$500,000 on drilling and geophysical surveys at the project, which have clearly defined the target horizon for VMS style zinc-copper mineralisation and identified coincident EM-MMR targets interpreted to represent sub-volcanic centres, with potential to host high grade copper-zinc mineralisation. With activity in the area at Venturex’s Sulphur Springs Project and Anax Mineral’s Whim Creek Project, there is an opportunity to develop the Quartz Bore Project in parallel.

Some historical drill intersections include:

  • 17m at 2.95 % Cu + 1.48% Zn from 340.5m (QBDD0001)

  • including 7m at 6.44% Cu + 3.21% Zn

Notes to Tables 1 - 4: The Mineral Resource Estimate was completed using the following parameters:

  • The Steelpoortdrift Vanadium Resource extends over a strike length of 4000m and has been drilled up to 150m vertically below surface (1100m down-dip);

  • Mineralisation is hosted in a series of magnetite bearing layers near the contact between the Upper and Main Zone of the Bushveld Igneous Complex. These layers have been denoted the Upper, Intermediate and Lower Zones with average thicknesses of 19, 14 and 12m respectively. At the base of the Lower Layer there is a marker horizon of massive magnetite which is 1 – 2m thick.

  • 120 drillholes (79 RC and 41 diamond core holes) were used in the resource estimate representing a total of 8,762.1m of drilling. Drillhole information is listed in ASX Announcements of 16 April 2019 and 19 November 2019.

  • 59 RC holes and 27 diamond core holes drilled by VR8 were included along with 20 RC holes and 1 diamond core hole drilled previously by Vanadium Resources (Pty) Ltd ( Vanres ) and 13 DD holes drilled by Vanadium Technology (Pty) Ltd, a subsidiary of Xstrata ( Vantech ). Drilling in the core of the deposit has been carried out at a 90m spacing with the remainder of the deposit drilled on sections spaced 150m – 200m apart, with mineralisation intersected at 150m intervals on section.

  • RC drilling by VR8 and Vanres was sampled via face sampling hammer, collected by a rig mounted cyclone and split using a riffle. Diamond core drilling by VR8 sampled NQ core by splitting the core in half. Historical drilling also sampled diamond core, predominantly BQ size, by sawing in half.

  • Samples were analysed at commercial laboratories (SGS, ALS) using pressed disc XRF.

  • Quality control protocols for all drilling included the use of certified reference materials (CRMs), blanks and duplicates as detailed in the ASX Announcement of XX April 2020.

  • All drillholes were surveyed in both South Africa LO29 grid (WGS84 projection) and UTM Zone 35S.

  • All except 2 holes were vertical. Downhole surveys have been carried to confirm no excessive deviation.

  • Geological domains were constructed using the interpreted stratigraphy.

  • Wireframe surfaces were constructed based on the geological interpretation. Samples within the wireframe were composited to 1m intervals.

  • Block grades were estimated using interpolation of the 1m composite data by the Ordinary Kriging method. Search ellipses were set based on geostatistics with search distances ranging from 120 to 950m along strike.

Page 8 of 9

  • A Surpac block model was used for the estimate with a block size of 40m X by 40m Y by 5m Z, with sub-blocking to 5mX by 5m Y by 1.25m Z.

  • Bulk density values used for mineralisation are detailed in the tables above. These were sourced from SG data measurements on core.

  • The numbers tabulated in Appendix 1 may not sum correctly as a result of rounding.

  • Diagrams of the Mineral Resource are shown in the ASX Announcement of 29 April 2020.

  • The Mineral Resource has been classified as Measured, Indicated and Inferred based on data quality, sample spacing, geological understanding and geostatistical analysis as detailed below.

  • Further infill drilling will increase geological and grade data quality and possibly upgrade resource categories and supply data required for higher level mining studies.

These notes should be read in conjunction with the information detailed in the ASX Announcement of 29 April 2020. The Company confirms there is no new data or changes to material assumptions since that date which affect the Mineral Resource.
