DJ PRESS RELEASE / DDP DIRECT American Vanadium Corp.. announces
positive feasibility study for Gibellini vanadium project
After-tax IRR of 43% and NPV of $ 170.1 million
(Ddp direct) All dollar values are stated in U.S. dollars, unless
otherwise noted.
The Gibellini project would be the only mine in the U.S., primarily
in the vanadium would be degraded. It was planned as a day,
heap-construction project. The metallurgical tests were by McClelland
Laboratories, Inc. performed in Sparks (Nevada) under the direction of
AMEC.
The Roskill Consulting Group in London ("Roskill") reported in the
vanadium market outlook, they pay for AMEC as part of the feasibility
study prepared. "2012 is the global vanadium market in surplus, which
will begin in the next few years to sink in 2014, will reach the price
$ 10/Pfund pentoxide and $ 45/kg ferrovanadium, as the market prepared
for a potential deficit in 2015. Although predicted in prices fast
climbs, awaits Roskill, that they are below the record high in 2005
will remain. Taking into account the actual $ figures from 2010, the
vanadium prices expected to be during the entire forecast period,
below the 2005 figures. But could any problems that may prevent the
introduction of vanadium on the market, or delay, leading to a deficit
which would increase the prices. " The Roskill Consulting Group has
not taken into account in their calculations, a possible demand for
vanadium in relation to the flow battery or electric cars.
"We are very pleased to be able to give such a convincing economic
data to the project known," said Bill Radvak, President and CEO of
American Vanadium Corp.. "They provide us the foundation we need to
accelerate the development and expansion of the project. Our baseline
work has been no environmental material problems arise. We are now on
track to complete the action plan for review and comment by The
authority for the management of state-owned lands (Bureau of Land
Management) and the U.S. state of Nevada. The NI 43-101 technical
report will be available on SEDAR within 45 days. "
The feasibility study was conducted under the direction of Kirk
Hanson of AMEC. Hanson is defined by National Instrument 43-101, a
"qualified person" and has no affiliation with American vanadium.
Hanson has the contents of the press release in which the results of
the feasibility study are summarized agreed.

About American Vanadium Corp..
American Vanadium is currently developing the Gibellini Vanadium
Project, a vanadium deposit in the U.S. state of Nevada. Vanadium is
an essential metal alloy that is used for reinforcing steel and in the
growing fields of mass and energy storage lithium-vanadium batteries
for the next generation is becoming increasingly important. The
Gibellini vanadium project the company is offering unique
opportunities for economic extraction of vanadium in the steel and
alloy industries, as well as vanadium electrolyte for the mass storage
industry.

forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements involve
estimates of the capacity and life of the mine, the proceeds from
future mining projects, the investment and operating costs and the
period for amortization. Factors that could affect actual results,
include: actual results of current exploration activities, conclusions
of economic evaluations, changes in project parameters as the
development of plans; future vanadium prices, possible fluctuations in
the stocks, in the content or yield, changes in estimating capital and
operating costs, delays to obtain permits or funds by the government,
or delays in the completion of development or in construction work.
American Vanadium has done his utmost to identify important factors
