Using a high energy-resolution X-ray emission spectrometer, we show that vanadium occurs mostly as V3+, with minor V4+. The most concentrated samples (up to 2.4 Wt% V2O3) contain approximately 10% of vanadium as V4+. Both V3+ and V4+ occur in the octahedral site of the spinel structure. Considering the low magnetite/melt V4+ partition coefficients, this suggests that vanadium ores crystallized under specific oxidizing conditions. %$ 064
