VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA - March 19, 2014 - Vanadiumcorp Resource Inc. (TSX-V: "VRB") (the "Company") is pleased to announce it has organized an International Vanadium Symposium by Dr. Mehmet F. Taner in Vancouver, BC, Honoring Professor Gilles Allard in conjunction with COM 2014, Conference of Metallurgists. Dr. Gilles O. Allard, discovered the Vanadium mineralization in 1966 at Lac Dore and through his dedicated work, changed the economic perspective of the project.
The Symposium will be held at the Hyatt Hotel in Vancouver on September 28 to October 1, 2014. The leading world experts and professionals will contribute their knowledge in three days of informative speaker sessions beginning with an educational short course led by Dr. Maria Skyllas-Kazacos. The primary focus of this Symposium is for the development of the Vanadium industry, and discussion of applications, supply and demand and geological practices. The Symposium will highlight the importance of a stable domestic supply in North America which currently imports the vast majority of its Vanadium.
The Symposium is also expected to reinforce the value of the Lac Dore Vanadium deposit following anticipated technical reports validating the vast amount of previous work. This will be the Second International Vanadium Symposium as the first Symposium by Dr. Mehmet F. Taner was held in 2002 at COM 2002 in Montreal following the first major milestone of development, the completed SNC Lavalin Feasibility Study (pre-NI 43-101) on the Lac Dore Deposit.
The Vanadium Symposium will be a unique opportunity to update participants on new technological, scientific, economic advancements and breakthroughs as well as strategic trends in the Vanadium industry and academia. Among the numerous conference attendees, there will be industry executives, representatives of universities and research institutes, students, design engineers, plant operators, policy makers, as well as metallurgical, materials, and battery company representatives from all over the world. Highlights of the Vanadium Symposium include: Dr. Maria Skyllas-Kazacos - Inventor and pioneer of the VRB battery, Mr. Terry Perles - Global Vanadium Sales, President of MoTiV Metals LLC, as well as VRB battery companies, Prudent Energy and UniEnergy.
Symposium details, published research and various geological reports are posted online on the new VanadiumCorp website. www.vanadiumcorp.comNew content will be updated regularly.

VanadiumCorp is targeting production of metallurgical grade Vanadium Pentoxide as well as high purity Vanadium chemicals for the battery industry. The company's unique projects are both located in mining friendly Quebec and hold the key for stable domestic supply of Vanadium for years to come. VanadiumCorp's experienced management and technical teams are dedicated to project development and building shareholder value.
About Vanadium
The main use of Vanadium today is in light weight high-strength alloy steels. Just ~0.1% of Vanadium can double the strength of steel. This has a very strong economic and environmental impact as it allows producers to build superior products with less steel. This saves significant material costs and reduces the amount of resources to mine. Vanadium has also been dubbed "the electric metal" for its bright future in energy storage and green technology. Highly concentrated and economical sources to mine are only found in China, South Africa and Russia. In 2007 & 2008, VanadiumCorp acquired the most prolific Vanadium deposits in North America.
