"We are very excited as the textbook results of this pilot scale testing are an important validation of our metallurgical process," stated Bill Radvak, President & CEO of American Vanadium Corp. "This is a major milestone as we have demonstrated that our process can produce vanadium products with higher value while also meeting the steadily growing needs of the steel industry. We will be using the resultant materials to pursue off-takes with steel companies as well as partnerships and joint ventures with vanadium flow battery technology and manufacturing companies."
