What an embarrassment ... Explains why this “news” release was suddenly taken off of Stockwatch.
“Adriaan Bakker's Vanadiumcorp Resource Inc. (VRB), unchanged at six cents on 180,000 shares, pledged its support for 16-year-old Greta Thunberg by "presenting profound solutions for climate change." Mr. Bakker, Vanadiumcorp's president and CEO, and now a budding environmentalist -- Howe Street is full of them these days -- says that his company's solutions lie in its plan to develop vanadium redox flow batteries using its "strategic resource base of vanadium" at Lac Dore in north-central Quebec, aided by green technology that "can replace outdated and highly pollutive recovery methods" for vanadium, titanium and iron.
There is no word what Ms. Thunberg feels about her name being associated with a big vanadium, titanium and iron project being promoted by a Howe Streeter offering the very "business as usual and some technical solutions" that she decries. Still, one can imagine her displeasure: She is the Swedish teenager who jetted off to the United Nations in New York to grump pithily about her elders' love of "money and fairy tales of eternal economic growth" when "people are dying [and] entire ecosystems are collapsing." In any case, she may not have to worry: Vanadiumcorp is currently drilling to restore the resource estimate that it calculated in 2015, only to have the regulators deem it uncompliant last fall.” Stockwatch Commentary Will Purcell
