First Vanadium Corp. announced that it has made a strategic acquisition of the southern extension of the Carlin Vanadium deposit located 6 miles south of Carlin, Nevada. The Company has gained mineral rights to an additional 200m strike length of the Carlin Vanadium deposit through an Access and Mineral Lease Agreement to approximately 80 acres of private (fee simple) land immediately adjacent to the Carlin Vanadium property. Six vertical holes drilled by Union Carbide in the 1960's on this adjacent ground demonstrated a southern continuance of the Carlin Vanadium deposit with thicknesses ranging from 10.67m to 28.96m (average 18.54m; 60.8ft) and grades ranging from 0.37% to 0.82% V2O5 (average 0.57% V2O5).
