On September 8, 2020, Silver Elephant Mining Corp. (“Silver Elephant” or “Company”) (TSX: ELEF, OTCQX:SILEF, Frankfurt:1P2N) announces that it has entered into a binding sales and purchase agreement (“SPA”) with a private party (“Vendor”) to acquire the Sunawayo silver-lead mining project (“Sunawayo”) located immediately adjacent to the Malku Khota silver project in Bolivia. Malku Khota has a historic (2011) resource of 350 million oz of silver contained in its greenfield Wara, Sucre, and Limnosa deposits, which are only 200 meters southeast of the Sunawayo border (Southeast border). (Cited historic resource estimates are not current mineral resources or mineral reserves.)
Malku Khota Historic Resource
Historic Resource | Resource (Mtonnes) | Silver (Moz) | Indium (Tonnes) | Gallium (Tonnes) | Zinc (MLbs) | Lead (MLbs) |
Measured & Indicated | 255.0 | 230.3 | 1481.0 | 1082.0 | 246.8 | 453.3 |
Inferred | 230.0 | 140.0 | 935.0 | 1001.0 | 246.2 | 362.2 |
Sunawayo is patented land which Silver Elephant has acquired through the SPA, whereas Malku Khota is unpatented land administered by the government’s Corporación Minera de Bolivia (COMIBOL). In January 2020, Silver Elephant applied for a mining production contract (MPC) with COMIBOL that would give it the rights to mine and explore Malku Khota. The application was received by COMIBOL and is under review.
The purchase of Sunawayo includes a fully permitted 100 ton-per-day open-pit mining operation that produces a lead concentrate. Sunawayo has a strike of 17 km which covers 59.5 square km of prospective area. Sunawayo has ready access to water and power. And by road it is 165 km from Bolivia’s 5th largest city, Oruro.
Joaquin Merino, VP for South America Operations, states:
“A combined Sunawayo-Malku Khota district would feature a 34 km property extent encompassing an area of over 110 square kilometers. We believe the district is situated within a very large hydrothermal system that produced the Malku Khota sedimentary exhalative (Sedex) deposit comprising a historic resource of 350 million oz silver based on 42,704 meters of drilling that took place between 2007 and 2010. The district is remarkably under-explored. Roughly 3.5 km of strike have been drilled from the Southeast border into Malku Khota project, yet the Malku Khota lithological trend and host-sandstone units extend for another 8 km northwest into Sunawayo without receiving a single exploration drill hole. The current mine pit (approximately 180m by 75m) is located 10 km northwest of the Southeast border and the pit has also never been drill-tested.”
Forty-eight samples, spanning 11 km, were taken at Sunawayo, where multitudes of visible mineralization were observed during a recent site visit. Assay results are expected in early October. Visit www.silverelef.com for project maps, photos, and a presentation.
Sedex-style Pb–Zn–Ag deposits account for 50% of the world’s lead and zinc reserves and 30% of the world’s silver resources, according to 2019 USGS and GSGS Global Data. Large, regional scale Sedex systems can span hundreds of kilometers, forming large tonnage deposits.
Examples are:
Teck’s Red Dog mine is the USA’s largest silver producer, producing 6.6 million oz silver annually, along with 1.2 billion pounds of zinc and 226 million pounds of lead.
Glencore’s Mount Isa mine has proven and probable reserves of 97 million tonnes at 7.0% zinc, 3.3% lead, and 60 g/t silver within measured and indicated resources of 419 million tonnes at 7% zinc, 3.7% lead and 67 g/t silver. It has been in operation since 1923.
Teck’s former Sullivan mine in British Columbia, Canada has in its lifetime produced 160 million tons of ore containing 8 million tons (16 billion pounds) of lead, 7 million tons (14 billion pounds) of zinc, and 285 million oz of silver. After 92 years of active production, the Sullivan mine was closed in 2001.
Malku Khota was described in the May 2011 technical report by GeoVector management as a Sedex-style deposit with a late hydrothermal overprint associated with the uplift of the Bolivian Altiplano which has endowed the deposit with indium and gallium in addition to silver, lead, and zinc.
A excellent conductor, Indium tin oxide (ITO, 85% of Indium consumption) is critical part of touch screens, flat screen TVs and solar panels. Gallium (94% from China) is used in diodes and analog electronics
Subject to the provisions of the SPA, the Vendor agrees to irrevocably transfer the mining rights of the Sunawayo to Silver Elephant upon the latter’s paying it $6,500,000. That payment will consist of $300,000 on SPA signing with the remaining $6,200,000 to be paid in cash over a one-year period in twelve equal monthly installments, starting March 1, 2021.
Silver Elephant’s goal is to explore near the Southeast border, in and around the current open pit mine, and along the 8 km Malku Khota lithological trend within sandstone units at Sunawayo. In parallel, the Company continues to advance a mining production contract application with COMIBOL for the rights to mine and explore Malku Khota.
Silver Elephant has amassed a large silver resource portfolio, consisting of:
Joaquin Merino, VP for South America Operations, further states:
“Bolivia has more than 5 centuries of proud mining tradition and is home to Cerro Rico and Pulacayo, two of world’s largest silver mines, based on historical production. I have been working in Bolivia since 2005 and we are thrilled to explore these elephant-sized silver projects at this exciting time of rising silver prices in a country opening up to investors after a decade of under-investment.”

Vancouver, British Columbia, August 19, 2020 – Silver Elephant Mining Corp. (“Silver Elephant” or “the Company”) (TSX: ELEF, OTCQX:SILEF, Frankfurt:1P2N) announces that it has received its first chip sampling results on its recently acquired polymetallic (gold, silver, zinc & lead) El Triunfo Project in Bolivia.
A total of 103 chip samples were collected from outcrops at surface and from underground adits and tunnels accessing the main east-west mineralized trend. The width of the samples varies from 1.0 to 5.3m, exhibiting an
average width of 2.5m.
These results confirm that the El Triunfo project exhibits near-surface Au-Ag-Pb-Zn mineralization where gold and silver account for a majority of the value.
Sampling was conducted on two priority areas, known as Block A and Block B. These 2 contiguous blocks, located at the western portion of the property, span a total strike length of 750m at various widths from 20 to 100 m. Artisanal mining has been developed along predominantly east-west mineralized trends in the area (please refer to Company’s news release dated July 13th, 2020).
The sampling returned significant results from both Blocks. Table 1 shows the assay results, equal to and over 1.0 g/t Au Equivalent which represent over 36% of the samples (37 / 103).

Denser sets of veins and veinlets hosted by shales and quartzites appear to correlate with higher grades. The strike lengths of these mineralized trends have been recognized as continuing along several hundreds of meters at surface.
The Company’s initial drill program, which started this Wednesday and is fully funded by recent warrant exercises, entails 4 holes total 1,000 meters that may be expanded.
The drilling will step out to the east and west of historic drill hole TR001 on Block B. TR001 had returned assay results of 94.2 meters grading 0.39 g/t Au, 21.8 g/t Ag 0.65%Pb, 0.39% Zn , and (0.95 gpt AuEq*), according to Solitario Resources SEC 10K filings in 2008.
District geological mapping and geophysics is also planned, as the host and accessory mineral properties associated with the mineralization at El Triunfo can be detected by geophysical imaging methods such as induced polarization (IP).
Maps of the sample locations are posted at http://www.silverelef.com.
(*) Gold equivalent calculation uses a gold price of $1,795, a zinc price of $0.93, a lead price of $0.80, and a silver price of $18.30 (all USD), and assumes a 100% metallurgical recovery. Gold equivalent values can be calculated using the following formula: AuEq = Au g/t + (Ag g/t x 0.0102) + (Zn % x 0.3551) + (Pb % x 0.3055).

Natural resources company Jangada Mines PLC said Tuesday its pretax loss widened, due to its share of losses from its associates, as it continues the development of the Pitombeiras vanadium project in Brazil.
For the six months to the end of December, Jangada’s pretax loss widened to USD873,000 from USD701,000 the same period the year before, due to a one-off charge of USD266,000, from the group’s share of losses from associates.
Administration expenses, meanwhile, dropped to USD605,000 from USD701,000 the year before. Jangada Mines posted no revenue as it continues to develop its projects in South America.
During the period, the group established the mineral potential of the Pitombeiras project, estimating a JORC exploration target of between 40 million tonnes to 60 million tonnes at 0.3% to 0.6% of vanadium oxide, 40% to 55% iron oxide and 8% to 10% of titanium dioxide.
Looking ahead, Jangada will focus on establishing a JORC-compliant mineral resource estimate for the project.
“We are now focussed on unlocking the inherent value of Pitombeiras for the benefit of all stakeholders. To this end, we have a clear development path thanks to a defined exploration programme. The ramp up of activity at Pitombeiras is undoubtedly timely given the favourable market dynamics that are placing increasing demand on clean energy materials such as vanadium. We look forward to sharing more exploration results in due course,” said Executive Chair Brain McMaster.

Recently, the General Administration of Customs of P.R. China (GAC) launched a pilot reform of two-step custom clearance on imported goods in regional customs such as Hangzhou, Ningbo, Qingdao, Huangpu, Shenzhen and so on.
Under the new two-step clearance mode, importers do not have to submit all required information and documents one time; instead, they can submit just essential information in their bills of lading to complete summary clearance (first-step clearance) and take their goods away; and within 14 days when the transportation vehicle is reported to arrive at customs, importers should finish the rest of the whole clearance process (second-step clearance). This new two-step clearance process saves time for imported goods to stay at customs, greatly enhances custom working efficiency and helps importers dramatically cut their costs.

Summary
Welcome to Vanadium miners news. May saw vanadium prices continue to fall, and now look oversold. On a more positive note California has followed China’s lead installing a commercial scale vanadium redox flow battery. It was a busy month for the vanadium miners with several deals (a vanadium purchase, a vanadium expansion, DFS, JV, MOU, and a Scoping Study announced).
Vanadium is traditionally used to harden steel. New Chinese rebar standards are requiring more vanadium. Also Vanadium Flow Batteries [VRFBs] are becoming increasingly popular especially for commercial energy storage, most notably in China. Vanadium Pentoxide [V2O5] is used in VRFBs and Ferrovanadium [FeV] is used in the steel industry.
China Vanadium Pentoxide [V2O5] Flake 98{3a701354f219a57e7e7d46a505b70225e975b940de2dd07556e20488ab77339d} Price = USD 8.40/lb
China Ferrovanadium [FeV] 80{3a701354f219a57e7e7d46a505b70225e975b940de2dd07556e20488ab77339d} Price = USD 39.00/kg
The charts below show energy storage to be a new source of vanadium demand, and overall demand looks likely to grow very strongly to 2025.
Roskill estimates that vanadium demand “for VRFB markets” could rise to 31,000 tons by 2025, amounting to a rise of 3,100{3a701354f219a57e7e7d46a505b70225e975b940de2dd07556e20488ab77339d} in a decade.

In 2017 Robert Friedland stated:
We think there’s a revolution coming in vanadium redox flow batteries,” he says. “You’ll have to get into the mining business and produce ultra-pure vanadium electrolyte for those batteries on a massive scale. We’re very deeply interested in how you store electrical energy in the grid. The beauty of the vanadium redox battery is that you can charge and discharge it at the same time, something that can’t be done with a lithium battery. With a vanadium redox flow battery, you can put solar power and wind power into the battery, and you can put excess grid power into the battery at night, and at the same time you can have a stable output into the grid.
A good April 11 report from Banyan Hill reported:
Clean energy storage demand is surging 1,445{3a701354f219a57e7e7d46a505b70225e975b940de2dd07556e20488ab77339d}!….With a global push to harness energy from environmentally friendly and unlimited sources like wind and solar, demand for these storage systems are set to skyrocket over the next several years. And as a result, the battery storage industry is at the cusp of a major rally. This industry was valued at about $11 billion in 2018. But by 2030 that number is expected to explode to $170 billion. That’s annual growth of 25.6{3a701354f219a57e7e7d46a505b70225e975b940de2dd07556e20488ab77339d}, and total growth of 1,445{3a701354f219a57e7e7d46a505b70225e975b940de2dd07556e20488ab77339d}! One of the big ones in China is also set to be the world’s largest vanadium-powered battery system. These vanadium battery systems are preferred due to their ability to last over a decade with little to no decrease in performance.
Note: The above includes lithium-ion battery, VRFB, and other battery energy storage.
A story I missed from April 15 by Green Car Reports reported:
Nano Flowcell Quantino covers 218,000 miles on flow batteries. The cars use flow batteries—with unspecified active chemical ingredients—that Quant says are safer and have better “environmental compatibility” than fuel cells or conventional lithium batteries……Popular types of flow batteries include lithium-sulfur, sulfur-hydroxide, hydrogen-bromine, iron-chromium, zinc-bromine, and vanadium…..Flow batteries have not been widely suggested for cars, because, although the tanks can store quite a bit of energy, the cells themselves put out relatively little power, so it takes a lot of them to develop sufficient output to power a car. Flow batteries have been more successfully used in large, stationary applications.
On May 6 GovTech reported:
California flips switch on first grid-connected flow battery……The SDG&E (San Diego Gas & Electric) flow battery storage system will provide 2 megawatts and 8 megawatt-hours of energy, enough to power about 1,000 homes for up to four hours…..SDG&E is working in coordination with Sumitomo Electric of Japan on the pilot program that uses what is called “vanadium redox” battery systems that may last longer and suffer less degradation than other types of batteries, such as lithium-ion.

Prophecy Development Corp. (TSX: PCY)
October 29, 2018
Following the mega appointment of Gerald Panneton as Prophecy’s (TSX: PCY) new President and CEO (Mr. Panneton was the founder and CEO of Detour Gold, a multi-billion dollar major gold producer in Canada, where he help raised $2.6 billion), Prophecy is on a blazing trail due to prying a top gun from McEwen Mining Corp. to permit arguably the most exciting vanadium project in the US.McEwen Mining (valued at $1 billion) is run by the legendary Rob McEwen, the ex-Chairman and CEO of GoldCorp Inc., one of largest gold-mining companies in the world.
Mr. Ron Espell, Prophecy’s new VP of Environmental and Sustainability is a highly-regarded specialist in US federal and Nevada state mine permitting. He has over 30 years of experience in corporate environmental management and permitting in conformance with applicable regulatory and performance standards, mine waste management, reclamation and closure planning.
Why Prophecy Matters |
Prophecy Development Corp (TSX: PCY) owns the Gibellini project – the only large-scale, open-pit, heap-leach vanadium project of its kind in North America.
Located in Nevada, Gibellini has the largest NI 43-101 compliant measured and indicated primary vanadium resource in the USA. It is currently undergoing EPCM and EIS preparation. With global vanadium supply declining and demand increasing, this is the right project at the right time. Trading millions of shares a day at $0.50, Prophecy has approximately 78 million shares outstanding. |
Vanadium pentoxide price has reached an all-time high of $33.1/lb (www.vanadiumprice.com), up from 2016 low of $2.5/lb. This was due to the Chinese upgrade of vanadium intensity in steel re-enforcement bars in the construction industry, increasing vanadium use in the aerospace industry, and the use of large-scale vanadium batteries in the utility industry.

Espell’s Golden Touch With Permitting |
Within 18 months his joining McEwen Mining as Environmental Director, Mr. Espell had led his team to successfully obtain the Gold Bar project’s Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) approval from the Bureau of Land Management’s (BLM) Battle Mountain District office (November 2017). |
Mr. Espell comments: “I am very pleased to join this dynamic Prophecy team to work on the exciting Gibellini vanadium project. I am confident about the project’s merits. Prophecy has already established very good project permit ground work, which I will continue with. I will collaborate closely with federal and state permitting agencies, local communities, and all stakeholders to make Gibellini the first primary vanadium mine in the US.”
With Espell’s appointment, Prophecy could complete the permitting process in 2019 and begin construction shortly after. That would make Gibellini the fastest primary vanadium mine to get to production in the USA.
Gibellini vs GoldBar Nearby and Same Size |
The Gold Bar project is in Eureka County, Nevada, approximately 40 miles northwest of the Company’s Gibellini vanadium project. Both projects are overseen by the BLM Battle Mountain District office and share many similarities in terms of mining and recovery method, capital expenditure, and throughput. |

The current mine plan envisions producing 9.65 million pounds annually for over 13 years, paying back its capital cost of US$116.8 million in 1.72 years. The after tax net present value of the Gibellini vanadium project is north of US$338 million, meaning Prophecy is trading at a significant discount to its project value.
That was all done at a vanadium price of $12.73 per pound. Vanadium prices are currently twice that.
Shares have been as high at C$0.50 in the past year but now trade at ~C$0.285.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
The Table comparing mining attributes of Gold Bar and Gibellini projects: Both projects are located in Nevada, USA. The Gibellini project attributes are taken from its May 29, 2018 PEA, which includes inferred resources that are considered too speculative geologically to have the economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves. And there is no certainty that the PEA will be realized. Mineral resources are not mineral reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability.
Certain statements contained in this news release (including statements which may contain words such as “expects”, “anticipates”, “intends”, “plans”, “believes”, “estimates”, and similar expressions) and statements related to matters which are not historical facts are forward-looking information within the meaning of applicable securities laws. Such forward-looking statements, which reflect management’s expectations regarding Prophecy’s future growth, results of operations, performance, business prospects and opportunities, are based on certain factors and assumptions. They involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties which may cause the actual results, performance, or achievements to be materially different from the future results, performance, or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.
