The Private Placement will now be for up to 16,000,000 units at

tranches.
It is expected that the first tranche of the Private Placement

following receipt of TSX Venture Exchange conditional approval in
respect of the Private Placement.
Each Unit will consist of one common share in the capital of the

$0.60 ("$0.60 Warrant") and one half of a warrant exercisable at
$0.80 ("$0.80 Warrant"). Each whole $0.60 Warrant will entitle the
holder thereof to purchase one Common Share (a "Warrant Share") at
a price of $0.60 for a period of 6 months following the closing of
the first or second tranche of the Private Placement, as

Forward-Looking Statements: This press release contains
"forward-looking information" within the meaning of applicable
Canadian securities laws, including closing of the offering,
shareholder approval, use of proceeds, future plans and objectives
for the Gibellini Project and the energy storage business. Such
forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks,
uncertainties and other factors, which may cause the actual
results, performance or achievements of American Vanadium to be
materially different from any future results, performance or
achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking
information. Forward-looking information includes estimates of mine
production rates and mine life, revenues from future mining
operations, capital and operating costs, and pay-back period.
Factors that may cause actual results to vary include, but are not

flow to sustain our business or implement our business plans.
Statements contemplating or making assumptions regarding actual or
potential sales, market size and demand, prospective business
contracts, customer orders or trends in the energy storage market
constitute forward looking statements. Our actual results may
differ from those indicated in forward looking statements as the
energy storage and renewable energy generation business is subject
to significant economic, competitive, regulatory, business and
industry risks which are difficult to predict and many of which are

affected by a general decline in the economy, unavailability of
capital or financing for prospective customers to purchase products
and services from us, competition, changes in regulations, a
decline in the demand for energy storage and other risks. Although
American Vanadium has attempted to identify important factors that
could cause actual results to differ materially from those
contained in forward-looking statements, there may be other factors
that cause results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended.
There can be no assurance that such statements will prove to be
accurate, as actual results and future events could differ
materially from those anticipated in such statements. Accordingly,
