At VR8, we are striving to become a world-class producer of vanadium, unlocking our vanadium’s potential from development into production and application; providing a reliable and secure supply of vanadium to meet global market demands.

The Company is focused on developing our flagship projects, the Steelpoortdrift Project and the Tweefontein Project, which are strategically located 15 km apart within the legendary Bushveld Geological Complex in South Africa. The Tweefontein processing site lies in the heart of the renowned Steelpoort Valley where multiple world class mining and processing operations are situated.

Steelpoortdrift boasts a substantial vanadium deposit for generations to come with a Mineral Resource of 680 million tons at an average in-situ grade of 0.70% V2O5 (equivalent to 4.74 million tons of contained metal) and a Proved and Probable Ore Reserve of 77 million tons at an average in-situ grade of 0.72% V2O5 (equivalent to 0.55 million tons of contained metal). From Steelpoortdrift, VR8 intends to produce a vanadium rich concentrate that will then be transported to our nearby state of the art Salt Roast Leach Plant at Tweefontein where it will be processed to produce an average of 18,000t of Vanadium Pentoxide (V2O5) per annum.

At the proposed throughput rates of concentrate for processing at our our Tweefontein SRL plant, the Steelpoortdrift Project has capacity to produce the required concentrate for a substantial lifespan of over 180 years. This aligns perfectly with our commitment to shaping a sustainable and innovative future.

With our collective industry knowledge and operational expertise, we’re heading towards transforming vanadium applications across various sectors, including energy storage, infrastructure development, and more.
