Debella V + HPA Project

Introduction to the Debella Vanadium and High Purity Alumina Project

Vecco Group is developing the world class Debella Vanadium + HPA Project in Queensland Australia.

The Debella High Purity Vanadium and High Purity Alumina Project is located near Julia Creek in the world class North-West Queensland energy and minerals province. This province is home to world renowned mines like South 32 Limited’s Cannington Mine and Glencore’s Mount Isa Mine.

The Debella Vanadium project contains a high grade resource (including up to 0.80% V2O5 + >18% Al). Mining conditions for the project are excellent, with the target seam commencing at shallow depths with a flat dip and free-dig overburden.

Vecco is targeting initial production in 2023, primarily producing a high purity vanadium pentoxide product, vanadium electrolyte and high purity alumina for the battery markets.

Project Highlights

  • Production: >130Mwh of vanadium electrolyte production p.a. and scaling up to >300Mwh
  • Project timing: Mining Lease Application in 2021
  • Low cost operation: Low Life of Mine (LOM) operating costs
  • Shallow Resource: From only 16.4m, the resource has a very low strip ratio
  • Mine Life: >50 year LOM
  • Beneficiation: Low cost, simple beneficiation process
  • Low cost mineral processing: Atmospheric leaching of the vanadium with a standard vanadium recovery process.
  • All assets and operations are 100% owned by Vecco Group.
