American Vanadium Corp. (AVC on TSX) is planning to open America's only vanadium mine by end of 2012.
Right now the US imports almost all of it's vanadium. Recently, China has restricted all exports of vanadium. AVC's mine in Nevada could prove strategic and critical to US industry.
Vanadium Redox Batteries are the solution to the Achilles Heel of renewable energy - safe, scalable, low–cost mass energy storage. Read all about them and the vanadium-lithium batteries coming out in the newest electric cars at our website or our www.twitter.com/AVCVanadiun news feed.
Feel free to contact me directly if any questions or comments regarding our mine or vanadium batteries.
Sincerely,
Michael Hyslop
Director of Corporate Development
American Vanadium Corp.
