Vanadium will be an essential part of our future.Vanadium is a vital component in the fabrication of light, high-strength alloy steel necessary for creation of aerospace technology, pipelines, automobiles and more.
More recently, other applications of the metal have become very promising. It is now a key ingredient for the "next generation" battery technology that will transform the way electrical energy is stored in stationary and mobile applications around the world.Every major automobile manufacturer is planning to introduce an electric model as soon as 2010 which may utilize the superior lithium-vanadium battery. VRB Stationary Power Backup is already fully implemented in the industry leading country of Japan.
Why invest in vanadium? At this time there is no major North American Vanadium producer and virtually all vanadium is imported. The current world demand for vanadium appears to be stable even with the current economic downturn.
Virtually no new ore bodies have been discovered and current supply is being depleted. In 2007, China ended it's export credits for vanadium because it needed more supply. In 2008, China went further and put an export tariff in place.
This points to near term shortages of vanadium.
Why invest in Apella Resources? Apella is the only North American exploration company with a significant claim to a high profile domestic source of vanadium. Apella's strength and competitive advantage comes with the experience and knowledge the Company has developed while working in Canada for over 14 years. Apella has a team of industry professionals with a track record of involvement in developing ore bodies.
Open pit mine potential has been confirmed by recently discovered surface mineralization yielding economic values on both 100% owned Iron-Titanium-Vanadium projects in Canada. Local infrastructure including roads, rail, power and personnel are in place in both the Lac Dore and Iron-T vanadium projects.
The Company is committed to a strategic goal of becoming the only primary North American vanadium producer through decisive acquisition and development. For more information and a complete investor package, please give us a call.
