VanadiumCorp Continues Third Year of Lac Doré Mineral Processing Research
News related to:VanadiumCorp Resource Inc · 1 min read
VanadiumCorp, a Canadian critical metals exploration company, has announced the continuation of its third year of research collaboration with Université de Sherbrooke. The company aims to deepen its understanding of the Lac Doré property, a 100%-owned vanadiferous titanomagnetite (VTM) mineralization site in Québec.
The research program, which began in 2024, focuses on upstream mineral processing techniques. The goal is to evaluate potential processing pathways for vanadium, titanium, and iron.
The Lac Doré property is part of VanadiumCorp’s broader strategy to develop innovative technologies for extracting vanadium-titanium and potentially high-grade iron from its VTM projects. The company’s efforts are aligned with Canada’s priorities for secure and responsible critical mineral development, particularly in the areas of vanadium and titanium, which are included on Canada’s Critical Minerals List.
The research program involves a phased laboratory research approach, examining the relationship between the mineral characteristics of Lac Doré material and various physical and hydrometallurgical preparation methods. This work is expected to generate valuable knowledge that could inform future processing concepts and evaluation of potential development pathways.
The collaboration also contributes to the development of highly qualified personnel, supporting Canada’s growing critical minerals sector. VanadiumCorp will continue to participate in the research program and evaluate the work in the context of its broader Lac Doré strategy. The company will provide further updates as the program advances.
VanadiumCorp’s efforts are part of a broader trend in the critical metals sector, where companies are investing in research and development to secure stable and long-term supplies of essential materials. The company’s work at Lac Doré is seen as a significant step towards achieving this goal, aligning with the strategic priorities of both Québec and Canada.
