THE ADEQUACY OR ACCURACY OF THIS RELEASE.


Forward-Looking Statements: This press release contains "forward-looking
information" within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities laws,
including statements with respect to obtaining 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 limited to, changes in project parameters
as plans continue to be refined; future prices of vanadium; possible variations
in reserves, grade or recovery rates; changes to capital and operating cost
estimate, delays in obtaining governmental approvals or financing or in the
completion of development or construction activities. We may not have adequate
capital, financing or cash 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 beyond
our control. Our business performance may be adversely 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,
readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. American
Vanadium does not undertake to update any forward- looking statements, except in
accordance with applicable securities laws.
