Vanadium news, page-6508

Pushing through the ‘how long is a piece of string’ time periods on EPAs and  other stuff over in Queensland we have new terminology from the state’s Coordinator-General, Gerald Coggan, designed to enable faster approvals.
The key words  are “coordinated project”.
… And our vanadium-targeting Queensland compatriot, Vecco, was newly designated with the designation and is cheering .

..”The declaration fosters a whole-of-government approach to developing critical mineral projects and to support positive outcomes for northwest Queensland communities.”​

Vecco Group managing director Thomas Northcott welcomed Coggan’s decision.​

“Demand for vanadium flow batteries is rapidly increasing to meet the world’s energy storage demands,” Northcott said.​

“Australia’s demand for medium and deep duration storage by 2045 has been estimated at over 100GWh (gigawatt hour) by the market operator and vanadium flow batteries made right here in Townsville from Queensland’s minerals can help meet this need while creating good jobs in regional areas.​

Do we also have a Coordinator-General over in WA ?
Seems AVL does need some one with a top hat and power to match to speed up the approvals process over here!
…or looking at the price action on the last few days maybe they’re sending Coordinator-General Coggan over this way to give the sandgropers some tips?
