OUR VISION AND STRATEGY Identify Market Identify Value Execution Vanadium undergoing Acquired past producing Building strong team to industrial revolution Vanadium assets execute strategy Multi-year growth forecast for Significant scalability and Path to production with simple Vanadium and Uranium abundant high-grade metallurgy, no new technology sedimentary hosted vanadium required TSX-V: GLV
VANADIUM IN UTAH DESERT EAGLE PROJECT 2,004 Acre premium land package in well known Vanadium district Wide-spread historic Vanadium and Uranium production Underground workings were up to 28.2% V 2 0 5 (Vanadium Pentoxide) 2.8km long trend of high grade Vanadium UTAH mineralization outcropping on the property Intensively mined for Vanadium and Historically developed for Uranium- Uranium since 1909 Vanadium however significant occurrences UTAH of Vanadium exist with little to no Uranium Morrison formation (present on Desert Eagle property) is the principle domestic Multiple ore types present on property, Project source for Vanadium for the USA Vanadium-rich sandstones Vanadium-rich shale Significant occurrences of high - Vanadium-rich mudstone grade Vanadium exist with low Vanadium > Uranium Mineralization Uranium content Completed 43-101 Technical Report Mining friendly state TSX-V: GLV
ABUNDANT VANADIUM ACROSS PROPERTY DESERT EAGLE PROJECT Vanadium in grey Vanadium – Uranium sandstone: Sandstone: 1.33% V 2 O 5 3.06% V 2 O 5 Vanadium in Vanadium dark carbonaceous sandstone: carbonaceous mudstone: 6.12% V 2 O 5 0.78% V 2 O 5 Vanadium in shale: 0.32% V 2 O 5 2018 Global Vanadium field work and results TSX-V: GLV
EXPANDING ON PAST PRODUCTION Vanadium hosted in flat lying sediment – open and easy to follow 3 Up to 4.28% V 2 O 5 Small scale historic production DID NOT MINE OUT 8 Vanadium mineralization in this district DESERT EAGLE PROJECT 1 Kilometre Up to 28.2% V 2 O 5 TSX-V: GLV
EXPANDING ON PAST PRODUCTION 12 Up to 11.03% V 2 O 5 Extensive past production - significant expansion potential Previous operators focused on Uranium, where significant potential to DESERT EAGLE PROJECT develop based on high grade primary Vanadium High grades of Vanadium present across project area 1 Kilometre Many undeveloped areas where vanadium is present on surface TSX-V: GLV
VANADIUM-REDOX-FLOW (VRB) BATTERIES How do Vanadium batteries stack up? DISCHARGES 100% OF THE STORED ENERGY AND DOES NOT DEGRADE FOR MORE THAN 20 YEARS ONE THIRD THE COST OF LITHIUM ENERGY STORAGE BATTERIES VRB (or V-flow) batteries outcompete Li-ion and any other solid batteries, for utility-scale applications They’re safer (no overheating issues) CAN RAPIDLY RELEASE LARGE Better scalability (increasing size increases AMOUNTS OF ELECTRICITY load capacity) Longer-lasting (possibly limitless) Cheaper - less than half the cost per kWh (pays off in the long run) MUCH SAFER WHILE PROVIDING BETTER SCALABILITY Source: Metal Bulletin (Price range to-date) Nov 2018 TSX-V: GLV
VANADIUM IN THE STEEL INDUSTRY Vanadium is a STRATEGIC mineral Critical to steel industry 90% of Vanadium produced is used in steel production Growing market share being taken by storage battery technology Vanadium provides steel high temperature strength and lowers weight in Rebar, Pipelines, Jet engines Car frames (safer, lighter, more fuel efficient) Makes one of the strongest alloys on earth Main producers of Vanadium China, South Africa, Russia STRENGTHENS STEEL CREATING USA not producing, but has major reserves in UTAH SAFER BUILDINGS Supply and Demand pressures pushed Vanadium prices up over 5 fold in the last 2.5 years Supply Pressure: Mine shutdowns in China and South Africa; ban on scrap Demand Pressures: Synched healthy global economics will see steady demand for steel and consequently vanadium; Chinese and US gov’t policy changes – rebar strengthening, fuel efficiencies in auto sector, protectionism REDUCES WEIGHT RESULTING IN MORE FUEL EFFICIENT CARS TSX-V: GLV
VANADIUM MARKET DATA SUPPLY AND DEMAND PRESSURES ARE CREATING A PERFECT STORM Tightening global inventories, mining shutting down due to tightening environmental policies (China) Reduced number of suppliers and increased demand from development of green technologies and increased safety concerns building higher towers and creating safer more fuel efficient lighter stronger cars Demand exceeding supply projected to continue through 2020, positive long term trends New primary mined vanadium capacity will need to come on line, USA will become major producer by reactivating closed operations Source: Metal Bulletin (Price range to-date) Nov 2018 TSX-V: GLV
