Golden Share Announces License Agreement with Battelle Memorial Institute
Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - October 18, 2016) - Golden Share Mining Corp. (TSXV:GSH) ("Golden Share"), is pleased to announce the completion of a License Agreement with Battelle Memorial Institute ("BATTELLE"), which operates the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory ("PNNL") for the U.S. Department of Energy.
Golden Share has been granted a nonexclusive commercial license to produce, use and sell the Vanadium Electrolytes developed by PNNL. The licensed vanadium electrolytes have advantages over previous generations, including a wider temperature-operating range and higher energy density.
Golden Share is excited about the opportunity of linking this advanced technology with its current right to market high purity vanadium through its arrangements with Northwest Mining & Exploration Group of China ("NWME"), thus enabling the production of value added vanadium electrolytes (Refer to Press Release dated May 24, 2016). Recent developments have highlighted Vanadium based Flow Batteries as a safe and efficient type of battery technology solution available for utility scale energy storage applications. The cost of vanadium electrolytes represents a significant portion of the total cost of Vanadium Redox Flow Batteries. With high purity vanadium sourced from NWME, Golden Share intends to become the preferred supplier of Vanadium Electrolytes as well as contribute to reducing the cost of Vanadium Redox Flow Batteries.
About Battelle and PNNL
Interdisciplinary teams at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory address many of America's most pressing issues in energy, the environment and national security through advances in basic and applied science. PNNL employs 4,400 staff, has an annual budget of nearly $1 billion, and has been managed for the U.S. Department of Energy by Ohio-based Battelle since the laboratory's inception in 1965.

Golden Share is looking forward to working with its stakeholders, including battery manufacturers, to make Vanadium Redox Flow Batteries the best and most practical energy storage solution available.
