Phenom Files U.S. Provisional Application to Protect New Vanadium-Nickel Flowsheet
July 23, 2026 – Vancouver, British Columbia – Phenom Resources Corp. (TSX-V: PHNM; FSE: 1PY0) (“Phenom” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that the Company has submitted a U.S. provisional application with the U.S. Patent Office to protect the Intellectual Property of the metallurgical flowsheet it has developed for the High-Grade Vanadium-Nickel Opportunity (Identified Project) reported on December 19, 2024.
The Company’s metallurgical advisory team headed by Dr. David Dreisinger and Ms. Jodi Esplin has successfully developed a metallurgical flowsheet through extensive testwork at SGS Canada and by hydrometallurgical processing methods to achieve approximately 80% recovery of vanadium and 75% recovery of nickel through from a high-grade offshore source.Phenom is also seeking to attract a strategic partner to fund and operate the Identified Project, with Phenom retaining part ownership through the utilization of its recovery processes. The Company anticipates that the Identified Project would be a long-term-operating processing plant that would process high-grade vanadium and nickel feed to generate high purity product at a profit at current prices and be a midstream contributor to the expanding US EV and large capacity battery markets.
With the heightened narrative by the Trump Administration on securing critical minerals, the Company is also endeavouring to attract U.S. government funds to advance and support the Project. The participation of Paul Cowley, Company President & CEO, and Dr. David Dreisinger, Company Metallurgical Advisor, as panelists in the two-day Strategic Resources in Competition Conference hosted by the Irregular Warfare Initiative (IWI) and the Special Operations Association of America (SOAA) in Reston, Virginia which concluded yesterday was part of those efforts to spotlight the project to policymakers and legislators on Capital Hill. Video capture of the conference will be made available in the coming days on the Company website.
