The partnership with DRA Global is also set to support Surefire in project development, delivery, and finance discussions.

Surefire’s development strategy involves establishing a mine and beneficiation operation at the Victory Bore site to produce a high-grade vanadium concentrate for shipment to Saudi Arabia.

In Saudi Arabia, downstream processing will take place in established industrial centres to produce various products, including vanadium pentoxide (V2O5) and ferro-vanadium (FeV).

Surefire is actively engaging in international discussions to secure interest, funding, and offtake agreements for the project, with potential partners in the Middle East, Europe, and incentives offered by Saudi Arabia covering up to 75% of capital costs.
