Volt Carbon (TORVF) reported C$4,945 in revenue for the quarter ended July 31, 2026, alongside commercialization work.
Its net loss was C$805,930, or C$0.003 per share, including C$432,433 in non-cash stock-based compensation. Volt received approximately US$4.1 million in purchase orders, including Northern Ore's initial 40,000-ton vermiculite order and approximately US$90,000 in battery development and services orders. Most contracted work remained to be performed at quarter-end; revenue will be recognized as Volt performs its obligations.
A preliminary trial of Northern Ore graphite yielded a concentrate measuring approximately 94% total carbon. Volt anticipates starting and ramping commercial processing in 2027, subject to equipment commissioning, material deliveries, process development and qualification, financing and other operating conditions. Capacity is expected to increase toward full throughput during 2028.
Volt Carbon Technologies (OTCQB: TORVF, TSXV: VCT) appointed Rear Admiral Charles “Chip” Rock (Ret.), Tim Spadafore and Theresa Irving to its non-governance Technical and Business Advisory Board. The appointments formalize prior collaboration with management and expand expertise in defence, national security, U.S. federal markets and commercialization.
Rear Admiral Rock will advise on North American critical minerals, advanced materials and energy technologies with focus on U.S. defence and national security. Spadafore will support U.S. federal-market strategy, business development and partnerships. Irving will advise on business development, strategic partnerships and engagement across the U.S. defence and dual-use technology ecosystem. The expanded advisory board will assist Volt Carbon in identifying strategic relationships and potential commercialization opportunities aligned with its advanced carbon materials and energy storage technologies.
Volt Carbon Technologies (OTCQB: TORVF; TSXV: VCT) announced progress at its Guelph, Ontario facility, where it has developed a flexible downstream manufacturing platform that converts graphite concentrate into either graphene oxide or expandable graphite using the same processing equipment.
According to Volt Carbon, recent XRD characterization at University of Waterloo labs indicates its graphene has advanced from approximately five to approximately three layers. Earlier epoxy testing with about five-layer reduced graphene oxide showed a 40%–60% improvement in mechanical properties at a 0.5% loading versus virgin epoxy. Volt also highlighted expandable graphite performance reported by Green Battery Minerals, where ProGraphite GmbH measured an expansion rate of 325 mL/g and approximately 98.5% carbon after expansion using graphite processed with Volt’s dry separation technology.
The company has received additional equipment to support batch-scale production of graphene-based materials and expandable graphite and plans to continue producing batches for process optimization, characterization, and customer evaluation, targeting North American advanced carbon materials markets.
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.
