Meet vanadium. It’s a silvery metal and highly versatile. It is used to make armor plates and can tell us about Earth’s history that happened millions of years ago. A little bit might even lower your blood sugar.
If you want to unlock vanadium’s full potential, you need to know how it behaves, said Anthony Chappaz, a researcher in Central Michigan University’s earth and atmospheric sciences department.
Vanadium is also a trace element, a group of little-understood substances that are rare in nature. Like vanadium, each is also important in a lot of different ways. Making the most out of what we have is critical, he said.
Ferro-Alloy Resources Ltd (LON:FAR) is developing the giant Balasausqandiq vanadium deposit in Kyzylordinskaya oblast of southern Kazakhstan. The ore at this deposit is unlike that of nearly all other primary vanadium deposits and is capable of being treated by a much lower cost process.
