RE:Phenom approached by three vanadium battery manufacturersthis Vanadium project with the processing by pressure oxidation leaching (autoclave) carries enormous financing ( Capex > $500 mln) , permitting and technological risks. That kind of processing hasn't proved its feasibility. There aren't any commercial cases with vanadium extraction.
There is a better vanadium project in neighborhood with Nevada permit ( RoD/EIS) expected in March ( CAPEX-$140mln, OPEX -4,7$/lb)
Start of production - 2025
