2. REVIEW OF OPERATIONS AND ACTIVITIES
During the half year ended 31 December 2021, the Company secured and completed a $4.6m strategic placement with Raubex Pty Ltd (Raubex), a wholly owned subsidiary of JSE listed Raubex Group Ltd, which is a South African infrastructure development, mining services and materials supply group. 44,230,769 ordinary shares were issued at a placement price of $0.104 per share, the placement represented a 64% premium to the 30-day VWAP of the Company’s share price.
This was a key achievement during the 6-month period as it has resulted in the Company being fully funded to complete the Definitive Feasibility Study (“DFS”) at Steelpoortdrift up to Final Investment Decision (“FID”). In addition to the placement the Company entered into an arm-length mining services agreement with Raubex’s wholly owned contract mining subsidiary SPH Kundalila (Pty) Ltd (“SPH”).
MINING SERVICES AGREEMENT
The Mining Services Agreement allows SPH to provide open-cast mining by excavation and ancillary services such as drilling, blasting, hauling (ROM and waste), stockpile management and backfilling for the duration of the life of mine of the Steelpoortdrift Vanadium Project completed in accordance with its DFS.
The services will be rendered at arm’s length terms i.e., at generally accepted market related commercial terms applicable to open cast mining and materials handling operations operated by public companies in South Africa, and at a consideration that will be commensurate with a Bills of Quantities and Rates LOM (“Bills of Quantities”) that was proposed by SPH during the Pre-Feasibility Study (“PFS”) as part of a competitive bidding process. The Mining Services Agreement will be modified from time to time during every 36-month contract cycle in accordance with a basket of indices applicable to the mining industry in South Africa.
The agreement includes the following additional terms:
- In the event of a take-over offer being received by VanRes, or by VR8, which includes a condition that the Mining Services Agreement be terminated, then SPH must agree to termination subject to the offeror purchasing, at market related cost, from SPH all movable plant, equipment and machinery SPH acquired to render the Services, and the offeror paying for the costs of any fixed infrastructure installed by SPH plus a cancellation fee equal to 20% of the NPV of the mining contract.

VANADIUM RESOURCES LIMITED DIRECTORS’ REPORT
2. REVIEW OF OPERATIONS AND ACTIVITIES (continued)
-
If VanRes is (or at least two directors of VanRes are) of the view, in its sole and unfettered discretion, that the consideration for the Mining Services Agreement is not on arms-length terms, then and in that event, VanRes has (or the two directors have) the right to refer the calculation of the consideration to an independent expert estimator (agreed to by both parties) for final adjudication and adjustment.
-
Working capital expenditure towards mining equipment will be amortised over the lifetime of the mining equipment and only for the period the equipment is used at Steelpoortdrift.
-
Payment terms will be 60 days from statement, however, to facilitate start-up of the Steelpoortdrift mining operation, payment can be delayed to up to 90 days, at the prime lending rates in South Africa plus 2%.
-
Following a decision by VanRes to develop a mine at Steelpoortdrift, SPH will have the first right of refusal to exclusively conduct the services at the arms-length consideration adapted for inflation (as described above), which right of first refusal must be exercised within the first 3 months from the date a decision to mine has been made by VANRES (to conduct mining operations). This right is renewable every 36-month cycle.
DEFINITIVE FEASIBILITY STUDY (DFS) PROGRESS
The DFS is considered a natural progression post a positive Pre-Feasibility Study (“PFS”). The PFS was completed[1] in FY 2021 with the aim to produce a high purity (>98% V2O5) vanadium product from primary Run-of-Mine mineralised material. The Company has appointed a highly qualified team of engineering and consulting firms who have extensive experience in their various fields as contributors to the final DFS design, some of the firms were intimately involved with the completion of the PFS.
The DFS is progressing within budget and on time (refer to ASX announcement 1 December 2021: Update on DFS progress) with the following activities completed:
-
All major contractors and engineering consultancies have been appointed and orders placed with all required workstreams progressing.
-
Trial mining pits have been located and designed for the purpose of collecting a composite 100-ton bulk sample from the main mineralised zones. SPH have been appointed to conduct the trial mining of these pits, including collection of the mineralised material. Final regulatory permitting has been completed for these pits with all legal appointments having been made and equipment is currently being mobilised to site, with the target date for commencement of trial mining being end January 2022. Bulk samples collected will be used for Pilot Plant campaigns through Multotec (OEM magnetic separator supplier), as well as Mintek (Salt Roast R&D laboratory).
-
Specialist studies required for final environmental permitting, as well as updating of existing permits have commenced and will continue over a 6-month period in order to span over both wet and dry seasons. These studies will form basis of final environmental permitting applications.
-
Plant, waste dump and pit locations have been finalised with geotechnical borehole and trench positions identified and pegged in the field. Geotechnical drilling and sampling will commence end January 2022 with a 2-month work program planned.
-
Engineering designs and equipment sizing is progressing on time and within budget for the Concentrator, Salt Roast plant and waste facilities.
1 Refer to ASX Announcement 22 June 2021. The Company confirms that it is not aware of any information or data that materially affects the information included in the market announcement, and that all material assumptions and technical parameters underpinning the announcement continue to apply.

MINERAL RESOURCE AND ORE RESERVES[2]
There were no material changes to the Company’s Mineral Resources stated as at 31 July 2020. During the half year the Company declared its maiden Ore Reserve for the Steelpoortdrift project (Project). The information was based on the completed PFS[1] . The Company commissioned Sound Mining Solution (Pty) Ltd to complete the Ore Reserve statement for the project.
The Ore Reserve statement, which amounts to 73.85Mt at a grade of 0.75% V2O5, is declared in accordance with the JORC Code (2012 edition). The Ore Reserve statement should be read in conjunction with the respective explanatory Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves information included in ASX announcement of 22 July 2021 (VR8 maiden Ore Reserve additional information), which forms the basis of the economic assessment and Project Ore Reserve statement. Of the total Ore Reserves, 31.17Mt is in the Proven category with the balance in Probable category. The High-Grade portion of the Ore Reserve totals to 40.25Mt at an average grade of 0.96% V2O5.

Notes
-
Ore Reserve Statement is stated at a price of USD6.00/lb as at 30 June 2021.
-
Quantity and grade measurements are reported at the delivery to plant in metric units (Mt) and head grade, both of which are rounded to two decimal places.
-
Approximately 6.91Mt of MG RoM at an average grade of 0.50% V2O5 remains untreated within the stockpile over the LoM. The CP has excluded this material from the Ore Reserve Statement.
-
Apparent computational errors are due to rounding and are not considered significant.
-
Losses that could occur as a result of transportation of content or flake are considered to be negligible for the purpose of the maiden Ore Reserve Statement.
-
Vanadium Resources currently has an ownership of 50% of the Project (will be increased to 73.95% ownership pending final S11 governmental approval, with no further consideration payable by VR8 for the additional 23.95%).
-
No account of concentrate or flake loss during transportation was taken into consideration. However, this was deemed to be immaterial in the context of the viability of the Ore Reserve as stated.
-
Inferred Mineral Resource material has not been included in the Ore Reserve Estimate.
ESG TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENT
Following the acquisition of an integrated ESG processing technology (Refer to ASX announcement 1 April 2021):
Integrated ESG processing technology acquired in FY 2021 – has been in development. The development is being conducted completely independent of the current mine design and will not impact the current process design costs or timelines.

Compliance with AASB 134 ensures compliance with International Financial Reporting Standard IAS 34 'Interim Financial Reporting'.
These general purpose financial statements do not include all the notes of the type normally included in annual financial statements. Accordingly, these financial statements are to be read in conjunction with the annual report for the year ended 30 June 2021 and any public announcements made by the company during the interim reporting period in accordance with the continuous disclosure requirements of the Corporations Act 2001.
The principal accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year and corresponding interim reporting period, except for the policies stated below.
Significant accounting judgements and key estimates
The preparation of the interim financial report requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income, and expense. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
In preparing this interim financial report, the significant judgments made by management in applying the consolidated entity’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those that applied to the consolidated financial report for the year ended 30 June 2021.
New or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations adopted
The consolidated entity has adopted all of the new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board ('AASB') that are mandatory for the current reporting period. Any new or amended Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been early adopted.

NOTE 9: EVENTS AFTER THE END OF THE INTERIM PERIOD
The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic is ongoing, it is not practicable to estimate the potential impact, positive or negative, after the reporting date.

The Company announced on 19 January 2022 that it had received approval from the South African Government to receive transfer of an interest of 23.95% in Steelpoortdrift Vanadium Project (“Project”) in Limpopo, South Africa, thereby increasing the company’s interest in the Steelpoortdrift Project to 73.95%. The consideration for the increase had been exchanged in September 2019.
On 2 February 2022, the Company announced the appointment of Foster Stockbroking Pty Ltd as corporate advisor on a six-month term. Issuance of 5 million unlisted options (exercisable at $0.10 and 2-year expiry) to corporate advisor in consideration for the services, subject to the company achieving a share price of $0.15 on a 15-day VWAP during the first 9 months from the commencement of the mandate.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REVIEW REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF VANADIUM RESOURCES LIMITED
Report on the Half-Year Financial Report
We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report of Vanadium Resources Limited, which comprises the statement of financial position as at 31 December 2021, the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows for the half-year ended on that date, notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the directors’ declaration of the consolidated entity comprising the company and the entities it controlled at the half-year end or from time to time during the half-year.
Directors’ Responsibility for the Half-Year Financial Report
The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation of the half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the half-year financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half-year financial report based on our review. We conducted our review in accordance with Auditing Standard on Review Engagements ASRE 2410 Review of a Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity , in order to state whether, on the basis of the procedures described, we have become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including: giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity’s financial position as at 31 December 2021 and its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001 . As the auditor of Vanadium Resources Limited, ASRE 2410 requires that we comply with the ethical requirements relevant to the audit of the annual financial report.
A review of a half-year financial report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Independence
In conducting our review, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 . We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001 , which has been given to the directors of Vanadium Resources Limited, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor's review report .
Conclusion
Based on our review, which is not an audit, we have not become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report of Vanadium Resources Limited is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including:
-
(a) giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity’s financial position as at 31 December 2021 and of its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and
-
(b) complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and Corporations Regulations 2001 .
