Event Summary

Elcora Advanced Materials Corporation Corp. announced significant high-grade Vanadium and Lead mineralization from surface samples on its Tissaf property in Morocco. Vanadium grades were reported at approximately 4-5%, materially above the global industry average, with Lead grades averaging around 33%. This discovery is strategically important given Vanadium's critical role in steelmaking and energy storage, and the current supply concentration in Russia and China. Elcora Advanced Materials Corporation is pursuing a downstream-first strategy, focusing on processing and end-use applications to reduce commodity exposure. Morocco is highlighted as a stable and investor-friendly mining jurisdiction. Further exploration and technical evaluation are required to determine the economic significance of the mineralization.
