Event Summary

Elcora Advanced Materials Corp. has provided an update on its vanadium surface sampling program at the Tissaf property in Morocco. The sampling revealed significant concentrations of Vanadium, ranging from 3.76% to 5.52%, and Lead, ranging from 25.26% to 37.69%. These high-grade findings are materially above global industry averages for Vanadium and suggest a polymetallic advantage. Morocco is highlighted as a strategic and investor-friendly jurisdiction for mining. Elcora Advanced Materials Corp. is pursuing a downstream-first strategy, aiming to control and enhance value beyond extraction by advancing into processing, metallurgy, and end-use applications for critical minerals like Vanadium, which is crucial for steelmaking and Vanadium redox flow batteries (VRFBs). Further technical evaluation and metallurgical testing are required to determine the economic significance and commercial viability of the mineralization.
