Vanadium Resources Ltd. ( (AU:VR8) ) has shared an announcement.

Vanadium Resources has signed a non-binding offtake term sheet with U.S. Vanadium Holding Company for 100% of the vanadium-bearing slag expected from its planned V-Iron Plant, which will process high-grade ore from the Steelpoortdrift project. The arrangement, contingent on a forthcoming feasibility study, envisages negotiating a binding offtake and gives U.S. Vanadium a right to match for 20% of slag output if a full agreement is not reached.

The V-Iron Plant is designed to use proven pyrometallurgical practices to co-produce vanadium-rich slag and pig iron, improving economics by diversifying revenue and reducing exposure to vanadium price volatility. VR8 is also in talks to secure brownfield smelting sites with existing infrastructure to cut capital costs and timelines, positioning the project as a cornerstone Western supplier of vanadium and reinforcing critical mineral independence from China and Russia.
