EDMONTON, ALBERTA--(Marketwire - April 4, 2011) - Micrex Development Corp. (News - Market indicators) announces an update on the St. Charles Québec Magnetite / Titanium / Apatite / Rare Earth / Vanadium deposit.
Micrex announced on March 24, 2010 that a large international mining conglomerate conducted assays on samples from the St. Charles deposit. In addition to magnetite, titanium, apatite and rare earths, these samples all yielded 0.4% vanadium.
Interest in the vanadium component of the deposit is increasing as new vanadium-based technologies signal a breakthrough in the quest for environmentally-friendly electrical energy sources. Electricity generated from cyclical sources such as solar and wind can be stored in large tanks of vanadium ions, and prototypes are now being tested in several locations around the world. Other types of vanadium cells can store more energy than conventional lithium-ion batteries, and can be recharged more quickly. This could result in up to 10 times more range for electric cars, and recharging times measured in minutes instead of hours.
These developments have been touted by world leaders, and are causing increased interest in the vanadium component of the St. Charles deposit. In view of this, Micrex has commissioned the lab at McGill University to conduct a new series of tests on the non-magnetic samples previously separated, and the large international mining company has requested additional samples for more testing.
Micrex is very excited about this valued added product and the new possibilities it brings to the Company.
Micrex Development Corp. (News - Market indicators) is a mineral exploration company based in Alberta, Canada with mining properties in North America. Current focus is on the St. Charles de Bourget magnetite / titanium / apatite / rare earth / vanadium property in Québec.
