Sino Vanadium Inc Announces Update Regarding Daquan Property Mineral Resource Estimate Based on the 2009 Drilling Program

NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO US NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES 

Sino Vanadium Inc. (the "Corporation") (TSX VENTURE:SVX) is pleased to announce
the results of an updated Technical Report (the "Report") regarding its 100%
owned Daquan Vanadium Property (the "Property") which was prepared by Wardrop
Engineering Inc. ("Wardrop") located in Beijing, China. The Report updates a
previous technical report on the Property prepared by Wardrop dated April 8,
2009 which was completed prior to receipt of results from the 2009 drilling
program. The updated National Instrument ("NI") 43-101 compliant Report
incorporates the results of the 2009 drilling program and will be filed on SEDAR
within 45 days of this news release.


Highlights of the Report

-  Increase in average grade of indicated resources to 0.95% V2O5 from the
previously (April 2009) reported grade of 0.80% V2O5.


-  Estimated indicated resource increased to 15.8 million tonnes from the
previous estimate of 13.5 million tonnes.


-  Increase in average grade of inferred resources to 0.92% V2O5 from the
previously (April 2009) reported grade of 0.76% V2O5.


-  Estimated inferred resource increased to 18.4 million tonnes from the
previous estimate of 8.8 million tonnes.


-  V2O5 present absorbed into clay particles and is both extensive and homogeneous

-  Cut-off grade of 0.25% V2O5 deemed economic by Wardrop on the basis of mining
and production costs in similar operations in the area of the Property, and on
the trailing three-year price of vanadium pentoxide.


Mr. Ma, Chairman of the Corporation, said: "We are pleased that our drilling
program has continued to show the expanding scope of the Daquan property.
Clearly this report shows that this deposit is world-class and continues to be
high grade as we work to define the extent and nature of the deposit. Management
calculations indicate that, based on a cut off grade of 0.25%, the latest
updated indicated resources presented in the report translate into approximately
330 million lbs of V2O5 while the latest updated inferred resources presented in
the report translate into approximately 370 million lbs of V2O5."


The 2009 drilling program was comprised of 12 holes with an aggregate length of
3620 meters. The holes were intended to test the vanadium bearing zone
throughout the strike length that had previously been tested by trenching and
tunnelling. In addition, 111 V2O5 assays were added to the existing database of
555 assays previously obtained. One of Wardrop's conclusions in the Report
speaks to the volume of information that has been considered in this study of
this Property:


". . . the distribution of vanadium is both extensive and relatively
homogeneous, and can be reasonably presumed to be significantly more extensive
than the volume of rock for which the resource has been estimated."

As a result of the 2009 drilling the tonnes of Indicated resource have increased
18% from the April 2009 estimate and the grade has increased by 19%. The tonnage
of the Inferred resource has increased 210% and the grade has increased 20% from
the April 2009 estimate.


Mineral Resource Estimates

Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated
economic viability. Mineral resource estimates do not account for minability,
selectivity, mining loss and dilution. These mineral resource estimates include
inferred mineral resources that are normally considered too speculative
geologically to have economic considerations applied to them that would enable
them to be categorized as mineral reserves. There is also no certainty that
these inferred mineral resources will be converted to measured and indicated
mineral resource categories through further drilling, or into mineral reserves
once economic considerations are applied.
