New major risk - Market cap size The company's market capitalization is less than US$10m. Market cap: AU$13.7m (US$9.73m) This is considered a major risk. Companies with a small market capitalization are most likely businesses that have not yet released a product to market or are simply a very small company without a wide reach. Either way, risk is elevated with these companies because there is a chance the product may not come to fruition or the company's addressable market or demand may not be as large as expected. In addition, if the company's size is the main factor, it is less likely to have many investors and analysts following it and scrutinizing its performance and outlook. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Less than 1 year of cash runway based on free cash flow trend (-AU$1.3m free cash flow).

New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings have declined by 2.3% per year over the past 5 years. This is considered a major risk. Ultimately, shareholders want to see a good return on their investment and that generally comes from sharing in the company's profits. If profits are declining over an extended period, then in most cases the share price will decline over time unless the company can turn around its fortunes. A trend of falling earnings can be very difficult to turn around. If the company is well already established it may also be a sign the company has matured and is in decline. In addition, if the company pays dividends it will also likely need to reduce or cut them, striking a dual blow to total shareholder returns.

Vanadium Resources Limited Announces That Test Work Results Confirm Superior Grade and Recoveries VANADIUM RESOURCES LTD announced that company is developing its Tier 1 Steelpoortdrift Vanadium project in Limpopo, South Africa. VR8 is currently conducting a Definitive Feasibility Study ("DFS") to undertake mining operations and to construct a concentrator and salt roast plant, potentially capable of initially producing 12,500tpa of V2O5 flake at an estimated capex of USD 200M1. The Company announced an update on the Bulk Sampling and Pilot plant test campaign conducted in pursuance of the DFS. VR8 announced the progress of an Association for the Advancement of Cost Engineering Class 2 DFS for the Steelpoortdrift Vanadium project located in Limpopo, South Africa. The DFS is a natural progression of the Pre-Feasibility Study ("PFS") recently completed2 with the aim to produce a high purity (>98% V2O5) vanadium product from primary Run of Mine (ROM) mineralized material. As part of the DFS, a trial mining and bulk sampling campaign was initiated, with the aim to extract fresh (unweathered) mineralized material for the purpose of pilot plant metallurgical test campaigns. As announced previously on the 24th March 20223, no blasting was required during the collection of the bulk sample due to fresh unweathered mineralized material being intersected 2-3m from surface, being considerably shallower than originally anticipated. The trial mining was completed with a total of approximately 40 tons of mineralised material extracted, of which approximately 15 tons was classified as fresh high-grade material from the LMZ (Lower Magnetite Zone) mineralized zone. This material was sent to Multotec Minerals Processing R&D facility located in Johannesburg South Africa for concentrator pilot plant test campaigns (refer to photo 1 below) with the purpose of producing magnetite concentrate for downstream Salt Roast and Leach (SRL) test work. Multotec is a leading global equipment supply company with specific experience in magnetic and gravity separation processes. The concentrate produced from the three stage Low Intensity Magnetic Separation circuit was dewatered and sent to MINTEK South Africa, a leading minerals technology development facility, for further processing through a SRL pilot circuit to final flake product. This circuit included: Roasting of concentrate in the presence of Sodium Salts for 4 hours at 1200 degrees Celsius; Water Leach of roasted material; Desilification circuit; and Ammonium Meta-Vanadate precipitation. Of particular significance is that the Silica content of the magnetically separated concentrate was measured to be between 1.1-1.3%, which significantly improves downstream processing efficiencies as well as reduce reagent consumption. Additional test work has subsequently been commissioned to investigate low-cost opportunities for processing the residue material to recover Ilmenite concentrates. The DFS continues to remain on time and within budget at present. Board Change • Apr 27

Vanadium Resources Ltd Updates on Its Definitive Feasibility Study over the Steelpoortdrift Vanadium Project VANADIUM RESOURCES LTD provided an update on its Definitive Feasibility Study ("DFS") over the Steelpoortdrift Vanadium Project and reportedc that trial mining for the collection of a bulk sample has commenced. VR8 is developing its tier 1 Steelpoortdrift Vanadium project in Limpopo, South Africa. VR8 is currently conducting a DFS to undertake mining operations and to construct a concentrator and salt roast plant, potentially capable of initially producing 12,500tpa of V2O5 flake at an estimated capex of USD 200 million. VR8 announced the progress of an Association for the Advancement of Cost Engineering class 3 DFS for the Steelpoortdrift Vanadium project located in Limpopo, South Africa. The DFS is a natural progression of the Pre-Feasibility Study ("PFS") recently completed with the aim of producing a high purity (>98% V2O5) vanadium product from primary Run-of-Mine mineralised material. As part of the DFS, a trial mining and bulk sampling campaign was initiated with the aim to extract fresh (unweathered) mineralised material from the project for the purposes of pilot plant metallurgical test campaigns. As limited information was available on the oxidation state of the mineralised zones near surface (less than 6m from surface), the trial pit design was based on extracting the bulk sample from a depth of 10m, to ensure fresh unweathered ore is sampled. During pit preparation the main high grade mineralized zone (LMZ1A) was exposed at surface. Fresh unweathered mineralised zones were exposed from a depth of 2-3m below surface, which was considerably shallower than originally anticipated and has resulted in no requirement to blast. The significance of the above outcomes is: The weathered portion of the orebody has been found to be significantly lesser than anticipated, High grade Run-of-Mine plant feed material can be exposed and mined close to surface, which will minimize upfront mine establishment requirements, and. Bulk sampling could be undertaken by mechanical means eliminating the requirement for blasting during the bulk sampling campaign. Bulk sampling is expected to be completed during March 2022 with pilot plant test work to commence from April 2022. GEOTECHNICAL DRILLING PROGRESS: The Company's contractors have commenced with the geotechnical drilling on site. The geotechnical drilling will investigate the mechanical strength and properties of material down to approximately 70m below surface to provide data for mine design of the pit shells and benching prior to construction. The DFS continues to remain on time and within budget at present. Bekanntmachung • Jan 19

Vanadium Resources Limited Provides Update on ESG Technology Initial Metallurgical Test Work Results Vanadium Resources Limited provided the additional information in relation to the company. Initial Metallurgical Test Work Results: The aim of the metallurgical testwork program is to confirm parameters for the techncological 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 (Steelpoortdrift PFS delivers superior results) whilst the ESG techncology is being developed separately. The first stage of the process involves selective extraction and separation of Iron and Vanadium. The second stage of the process involves extraction of other value metals, including Titanium and Aluminium, and to maximize the extraction of Iron and Vanadium. A series of tests were conducted over a range of temperature and reductant concentration conditions for the first and second stage of the process to empirically derive the optimal parameters. Residues from the Stage 1 process were processed at the near optimal Stage 2 extraction parameters selected from the results obtained from Stage 1 in test BL-A. Variable temperatures were not tested during this test. This demonstrates that high extraction yields for Titanium (97.8%) can be achieved. Additionally, the Stage 2 process is able to recover the remaining Iron and Vanadium; as well as Aluminium (40% extracted). The overall extraction yields for the combined Stage 1 and Stage 2 processes are above 99% for Iron, Vanadium and Titanium. Recent Insider Transactions • Aug 20

Vanadium Resources Announces Completion of the Maiden Ore Reserve for the Steelpoortdrift Project Vanadium Resources announced that it has completed the maiden Ore Reserve for the Steelpoortdrift project with key elements being: Total project Ore Reserve of 73.85Mt at an average grade of 0.75% V2O5 giving total contained V2O5 of 560kt; Of the total Ore Reserve 31.17Mt is in the Proven category with balance in the Probable category; and the High-Grade portion of the Ore Reserve totals 40.25Mt at an average grade of 0.96% V2O5. DFS study to commence second half of 2021 will aim to improve on maiden Ore Reserve statement with an updated statement to be released on completion of DFS. Based on the completed Pre-Feasibility Study, the company commissioned Sound Mining to complete an Ore Reserve statement for the Steelpoortdrift project. The Ore Reserve was prepared in accordance with the Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves (the JORC Code), 2012 Edition guidelines. The SPD Project is being developed as a fully integrated mineral beneficiation project in which Run-of-Mine (RoM) production from designated surface mining areas will supply a site located Concentrator Plant producing a vanadium pentoxide (V2O5) concentrate. This concentrate will be road hauled to an off-site Salt Roast Leach (SRL) Plant to produce a final dry flake product at >98% V2O5. The SPD Project is located on the farm Steelpoort 365KT which is approximately 30km south-west of the town of Steelpoort, Limpopo Province. The SPD Project area is situated within the Sekhukhune District Municipality in the Greater Tubatse Local Municipality, which is one of the five local municipalities falling under the Sekhukhune District Municipality (SDM). The economic assessment completed as part of the Ore Reserve statement confirm viability of the Ore Reserves as depleted by the mine planning and reveals operating margins of 29% (at a flake sales price of $6.00/lb) at steady state operations. The CP is aware that there are areas of uncertainty associated with the cashflow forecasts but considers the impact of these to be immaterial with regard to the overall economics. The DCF is based on a production forecast of 25 years and the Mineral Resource is not fully depleted. Bekanntmachung • Jun 23
Vanadium Resources Limited Announces the Completion of an Association for the Advancement of Cost Engineering ("AACE") Class 4 Pre-Feasibility Study Vanadium Resources Limited announced the completion of an Association for the Advancement of Cost Engineering ("AACE") class 4 Pre-Feasibility Study ("PFS") for the Steelpoortdrift Vanadium project located in Limpopo, South Africa. The PFS was completed with the aim to produce a high purity (>98% V2O5) vanadium product from primary Run Of Mine ("ROM") mineralised material. The Steelpoortdrift Vanadium Project ("Steelpoortdrift Vanadium Project" or "SPD Project") with a mining authorisation based on published Mineral Resources. Vanadium mineralisation is hosted in a titaniferous magnetite unit in the upper portion of the prolific Bushveld Geological Complex. The Company has the right to acquire 73.95% of the Project through acquisition of interest in Vanadium Resources (Pty) Ltd. (VanRes). The project PFS was completed on the basis that each contributing subject matter expert company, developed standalone PFS compliant reports for their respective subsections as defined above. These individual reports were then combined into an overall project PFS, with the individual detailed reports included as appendices and financial evaluation done based on the outcomes of these individually supplied reports. It should be noted that as is industry best practice, the PFS was developed on a total project basis and did not take into consideration shareholding or ownership in the project.

Vanadium Resources Limited Announces Commencement of Pre-Feasibility Study Towards the Production of High- Purity V2O5 The Board of Vanadium Resources Limited advised that the company has assembled a team of experts and experienced contributors to commence with and complete a pre-feasibility study towards the production of high- purity V2O5, utilising conventional salt roast technology from concentrate produced at the Steelpoortdrift Vanadium Project in South Africa. Mr. Nel, who was recently appointed as CEO, is experienced as a metallurgical and process engineer in the operations, management, design and optimisation of mineral beneficiation plants globally. Messrs Nel, Ford and Wilson were part of the team that completed the scoping study recently finalised by the Company, which confirmed globally competitive opex and capex metrics at the project, including that salt roast-leach processing is technically and financially viable from concentrate produced at Steelpoortdrift. The scoping study results released on 23 September 2020 established that the Steelpoortdrift project at the then current vanadium prices exhibit significant potential for the following: a NPV8% value of up to US$401M, robust returns (pre-tax EBITDA of up to US$1 900M), a resilience to low price environments (average cash operating costs as low as $3.07/lb V2O5), competitive capex (up to USD 187 million) and an attractive payback and IRR (between 2-3 years payback and IRR of up to 45% assuming a 50:50 debt/equity). Current day demand for vanadium arises from its established use in strengthening steel via various alloys. Consumption is currently increasing with the recent implementation of stricter standards on the strength of steel to be used in construction (specifically rebar). The use of vanadium in steel making accounts for over 90% of current vanadium demand in today's market. The most commonly traded vanadium product is 98% V2O5 flake, as it can be used directly in steel making or converted to ferrovanadium for additional uses in steel making. Higher purity vanadium products are either produced by a modern plant (such as being planned by VR8) or are further processed from 98% V2O5 flake for speciality uses in chemical industries, energy storage and high performance alloying technologies. Such speciality uses are expected to provide additional longer term demand for vanadium. Vanadium redox flow battery (VRFB) technology was developed in Australia and has a number of advantages in industrial and small town sized energy storage requirements. The global move towards renewable energy solutions will require a vast increase in energy storage installations, which in turn is forecast to result in an increase in the amount of VRFBs being manufactured and installed around the world. Another emerging use of vanadium is in high-performance light weight alloys. Supply of such alloys is increasing in the aerospace industry, with aeroplanes such as the Boeing Dreamliner 787 and the Airbus A350 now incorporating up to 100 tons of vanadium per aircraft. This month 98% V2O5 flake product continues to trade around $7.00/lb ($15,420/tonne; Fastmarkets Metal Bulletin). Trade remains quiet globally with supply of product largely restored and buyers having re stocked in recent weeks, with any excess material being sold on Chinese markets due to higher prices versus European buyers.
