ACTIVITIES REPORT – DECEMBER QUARTER 2021

HIGHLIGHTS

  • VR8 secures and completes strategic placement at $0.104c with JSE listed Raubex Group Ltd, which is a South African infrastructure development, mining services and materials supply group. Placement was done at significant premium in return for arms-length mining services agreement. Cash raised provides full funding through DFS up to final investment decision.

  • DFS design and various in-depth studies at final stage

  • ESG technology is being developed completely independent of VR8’s flagship Salt Roast Process and all Intellectual Property (IP) has been transferred into newly registered JV Company (TCM-VR).

Vanadium Resources Ltd (ASX: VR8) (the Company or VR8 ) is focused on the development of the Steelpoortdrift Vanadium Project through feasibility studies with the aim of constructing one of the largest Vanadium mines in the world. Together with VR8’s integrated ESG Strategy, the Joint Development Agreement ( JDA ) with DRA Global Ltd subsidiary, Senergy Africa (Pty) Ltd ( Senergy ), sets VR8 up to be a low-cost Vanadium and environmentally responsible producer, with the prospect of also having a minimal carbon footprint.

The Company is pleased to provide the following activities report that outlines the progress made during the Quarter.

STRATEGIC PLACEMENT & MINING SERVICES AGREEMENT

VR8 secured and completed a $4.6m (44,230,769 ordinary shares) 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. The placement price of $0.104 per share represented 64% premium to the 30-day VWAP.

As result of the placement, VR8 is fully funded to complete the Definitive Feasibility Study ( DFS ) at Steelpoortdrift up to Final Investment Decision ( FID ) and entered into an arm-length mining services agreement with Raubex’s wholly owned contract mining subsidiary SPH Kundalila (Pty) Ltd ( SPH ).

Vanadium Resources Limited (ASX.VR8)

7/63 Shepperton Road, Victoria Park, WA 6100 Australia +61-8 6158 9990 • [email protected] • www.VR8.global

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.

  • 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 are 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 FEASILIBITY STUDY (DFS) PROGRESS

The DFS is a natural progression of the Pre-Feasibility Study (“ PFS ”) recently completed[[1]] 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 whom have been intimately involved with the completion of the PFS.

The DFS is progressing within budget and on time ( refer to ASX announcement 01 December 2021: Update on DFS progress) with the following activities completed:

  1. All major contractors and engineering consultancies have been appointed and orders placed with all required workstreams progressing.

  2. Two box cut pits have been located and designed for the purpose of collecting a composite 100 ton bulk sample from the two 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).

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

ESG TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENT

Following the acquisition of an integrated ESG processing technology (Refer ASX announcement 1 April 2021: VR8 to acquire integrated ESG processing technology by way of an earn-in JV, and capital raising ), the JV company (TCM-VR) has successfully been registered in the Republic of Ireland (reg no 699830). This forms part of the earn in agreement, whereby the Company can acquire up to a 74% interest in an ESG integrated extraction, processing, refining and manufacturing technology developed by TCM Research Ltd (TCM), that innovatively utilises existing processing methodologies to produce battery grade Vanadium Pentoxide and high-end Vanadium products, including other products arising from the Steelpoortdrift Ore such as Iron, Titanium, Silicon and Aluminium, which are not currently extracted using conventional processing methods.

The ESG technology development is being conducted completely independent of the current mine design and will not impact the current process design costs or timelines. The technology is being developed with the view of it being an additional revenue stream supplementary to the base design, to unlock additional value from by-products such as Titanium and Iron present in the concentrates.

All the Intellectual Property (IP) has been transferred into the newly registered JV company and a Preliminary Feasibility Study (PFS) has commenced. For the purpose of the PFS, international multidisciplinary engineering group Resonant Nuteq (https://www.resonant.co.za/) has been selected as the preferred engineering support contractor. Resonant Nuteq experience includes:

  • multi-disciplinary engineering business active in the metals, minerals, chemicals, oil & gas and infrastructure sectors.

  • ISO 9001:2015 certified

  • Offices and workshop in Pretoria, South Africa, manufacturing/fabrication in Johannesburg and Queensland Australia (manufacture equipment: furnaces, gas cleaning, industrial fans, etc.)

Support for major tasks that will be performed during the pre-feasibility study phase are:

  • Value engineering studies;

  • Development of the plant concepts/philosophies;

  • Relevant safety assessments like HAZOP studies;

  • Independent evaluation of CAPEX and OPEX, including EPC costs.

The engineering study is progressing well and to date the mass balance has been updated based on the information provided, with metallurgical testwork results conducted by TCM Research. The mass balance is dynamic and plant parameters can be altered resulting in an automated update thereof.

The first drafts of the Block Flow Diagram have been reviewed and the Design Basis Document encompassing the entire engineering scope for the Process Plant and all its supporting systems required

Page 4 of 10

for full operations have been compiled. The preliminary plant systems identified are defined in the System Breakdown Structure with the plant and supporting systems to be automated as far as practically possible. A preliminary hazard review has been successfully completed to identify safety, health and environmental aspects of the materials in the process to provide information for compiling an environmental impact assessment (HAZOP 1) .

Initial metallurgical test work has been conducted on concentrates produced from the Steelpoortdrift project with promising results reported ( refer to ASX announcement 16 November 2021: Update on ESG Technology development as well as announcement dated 24 November 2021: Additional Information ) which included amongst other findings that:

  • Iron and Vanadium extraction rates in excess of 95% could be achieved during the first stage of the process

  • High Titanium and Aluminium extraction rates were achieved, indicating potential for selective extraction of these elements in a second processing step

  • Carbon Monoxide (CO) can be used exclusively as the process reductant, which is highly beneficial as no solid Carbon is required and allows for Carbon Dioxide (CO2) emissions recycling; reusing Carbon Monoxide (CO) and utilizing the Oxygen (O2) in later process stages for the production of High Purity Oxides

The aim of the metallurgical testwork program is to confirm parameters for the technological development of a two-stage process for extraction of Vanadium, Iron and other value metals using concentrates produced and obtained from the Steelpoortdrift Project in South Africa or other sources if applicable. Current development of the Steelpoortdrift project will continue on the basis of the Salt Roast process as reported previously (ASX announcement 22 June 2021: Steelpoortdrift PFS delivers superior results) whilst the ESG technology is being developed separately.
