Volt Carbon Technologies (OTCQB: TORVF, TSXV: VCT) has granted an aggregate 4,000,000 stock options to certain employees and contractors under its stock option plan. The options, granted on July 31, 2026, are exercisable at $0.07 per common share for a term of 5 years, subject to vesting provisions and regulatory approval.
According to Volt Carbon, the grants are intended to recognize contributors to the company’s growth and align their interests with shareholders. The CEO noted he has not received a stock option grant since becoming CEO, emphasizing a focus on rewarding and retaining staff and consultants.
Volt Carbon Technologies (OTCQB: TORVF) reported commercialization progress under its Commercial Toll Processing Agreement with Northern Ore Resources. Volt has received its previously announced 2.5% equity interest in Northern Ore and an initial purchase order to toll process 40,000 metric tonnes of vermiculite at its Guelph, Ontario facility.
The initial order reflects the first annual commitment under the agreement, which is based on a US$100 per tonne fee and implies about US$4.0 million in annual processing revenue, subject to the agreement’s terms. Volt is designing a commercial air classification system with up to 100,000 tonnes per year capacity, requiring an estimated US$750,000 in CAPEX that can be phased through 2027. Under full utilization and the same fee, the company illustrates potential toll revenue of roughly US$10.0 million annually, while stressing this is not guidance. Process optimization has started, early tests suggest only two passes of Volt’s dry air classification are needed, and management continues to target commercial deployment in 2028, dependent on financing, demand and approvals.
Volt Carbon Technologies (OTCQB: TORVF), its subsidiary Solid Ultrabattery, and TensorOne signed a three-party Memorandum of Understanding effective July 21, 2026. The MOU outlines a strategic collaboration to evaluate and develop advanced lithium metal batteries and graphene-enhanced carbon composites for next-generation autonomous UAS and AI-enabled counter‑UAS platforms.
The parties plan engineering validation, lab and flight testing, and manufacturing evaluations using TensorOne’s autonomous aircraft platforms. The collaboration targets higher battery energy density, reduced aircraft weight, improved endurance, payload capacity, and mission performance, with a view to future commercialization opportunities.
Volt Carbon (OTCQB:TORVF) signed a Commercial Toll Processing Agreement with Northern Ore Resources, the first commercial use of its patented Air Classifier. The deal includes a minimum 40,000 tonnes/year of vermiculite and a USD $4.0 million minimum annual revenue commitment.
Volt will also receive 2.5% equity in Northern Ore and a framework for future graphite commercialization, including at least 10,000 tonnes/year of graphite feed. Volt estimates about USD $750,000 in capex and targets ramping commercial operations in 2027–2028.
Volt Carbon Technologies (OTCQB: TORVF, TSXV: VCT) announced voting results from its June 19, 2026 Annual General Meeting, where all resolutions received strong shareholder support. Directors were re-elected, the auditor reappointed, and the stock option plan continued.
Corporate updates included progress in lithium metal battery programs via Solid UltraBattery, where coin cells using Volt Carbon electrolyte and C4V’s BMLMP cathode surpassed 850 charge-discharge cycles. The company reported continued development of advanced graphite and graphene materials, new GRAPHFLAKE® and GRAFLAKE® trademarks, and multiple NDAs with industry partners. The USPTO issued U.S. Patent No. 12,629,722 for an “Air Classifier,” expanding Volt Carbon’s dry separation technology IP supporting graphite processing, critical mineral beneficiation, and carbon technologies, which the company believes underpins future commercialization, partnerships, and licensing opportunities.
Volt Carbon (OTCQB: TORVF) and C4V reported a new milestone in their proprietary BMLMP lithium metal battery program. A second round of coin cell tests using Volt Carbon electrolyte and C4V's BMLMP cathode surpassed 850 cycles, about 30% longer than prior 650-cycle results.
The collaboration now targets low-temperature testing, pouch cell validation, and battery systems approaching 300 Wh/kg, while also qualifying Volt Carbon's dry-separated graphite in C4V's Green Anode and Digital DNA programs to support a North American battery materials supply chain.
Volt Carbon (OTCQB: TORVF, TSXV: VCT) received U.S. trademark registrations for GRAPHFLAKE and GRAFLAKE from the USPTO. GRAPHFLAKE was registered on May 5, 2026, and GRAFLAKE on June 2, 2026, covering graphite, graphene, and related carbon material product brands.
The company plans to align product SKUs, technical datasheets, sample programs, and specifications under these brands.
Volt Carbon Technologies (OTCQB: TORVF) appointed Dr. Hey Woong Park as Chief Technology Officer, effective immediately. He previously led battery development at subsidiary Solid UltraBattery.
With 20+ years of experience, including roles at LG Chem, he will direct technology strategy across graphite processing, graphene, advanced materials, lithium metal and solid-state batteries.
According to Volt Carbon, his work on reduced graphene oxide from company graphite enabled epoxy systems with 40–60% improved mechanical properties versus virgin epoxy.
Volt Carbon Technologies (OTCQB: TORVF) reported independent University of Waterloo test results on expanded graphite foil produced from its dry separated natural graphite. At ~0.189 mm thickness, the foil showed average in-plane thermal conductivity of ~219 W/m·K and density of ~1.5 g/cm³.
EMI shielding tests in the X band showed total shielding effectiveness of ~42.7 dB, corresponding to signal attenuation above 99.99%. Volt plans further optimization, scale-up and application-specific validation for thermal management, EMI shielding, conductive composites and energy storage uses.
Volt Carbon (OTCQB: TORVF) provided an operations update on May 6, 2026, reporting modest, non‑material project revenues while advancing its proprietary dry separation technology to preserve graphite crystallinity for higher‑value carbon products.
Volt Carbon is developing reduced graphene oxide and expandable graphite, added batch‑scale equipment for internal and customer evaluations, and granted 2,000,000 stock options exercisable at $0.05 for five years (granted May 5, 2026), subject to vesting and regulatory approval.
