Volt Carbon Technologies Launches Online Store for Its Natural Flake Graphite and Terminates Option Agreement
Volt Carbon Technologies Inc. (TSXV: VCT) (OTCQB: TORVF) has announced the launch of its online store for natural flake graphite, set to open on August 12th, 2024. The store will offer responsibly produced graphite using proprietary dry separation methods, focusing on ESG principles. The graphite will be available in various mesh sizes, from -10 to +100, suitable for applications such as dry lubricants, expandable graphite, and battery anodes.
The company's graphite has been benchmarked against leading brands, with internal and third-party tests confirming its quality. Volt Carbon also announced the mutual termination of its option agreement with Green Battery Minerals Inc. regarding the Berkwood Graphite Project in Northern Quebec.
- Launch of online store for natural flake graphite, potentially generating new revenue streams
- Proprietary dry separation method claimed to be more sustainable and eco-friendly than competitors
- Graphite quality benchmarked and confirmed to be at least as pure as competitors' products
- Offering various mesh sizes suitable for multiple industrial applications
- Termination of option agreement with Green Battery Minerals Inc. for the Berkwood Graphite Project
Calgary, Alberta--(Newsfile Corp. - July 18, 2024) - Volt Carbon Technologies Inc. (TSXV: VCT) (OTCQB: TORVF) (BERLIN: WNF) ("Volt Carbon" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the launch of its new online store, dedicated to providing natural flake graphite to end users. The store will officially open on August 12th, 2024, and is part of Volt Carbon's strategy to scale up its dry separation process while aiming to generate revenue to support its operations.
Online Store Highlights
Focus on ESG: Volt's store will offer "responsibly produced natural flake graphite," sourced from high-grade North American graphite-bearing rock using proprietary dry separation methods. The graphite will be produced in small batches at Volt Carbon's facility, without the use of water, reagents or wet tailings as the company continues to scale its processes. Management believes that initial processing results indicate Volt Carbon's dry separation method will be one of the most simple and sustainable graphite extraction techniques, leading to significantly lower carbon emissions compared to competitors.
Targeted Applications: The graphite can be used in various applications, specifically processed for dry lubricants, expandable graphite, additives, graphene products, battery anodes and thermal management materials, addressing the growing demand in these sectors.
Mesh Sizes and Quantities: Volt Carbon's proprietary processes allow for the extraction and preservation of large graphite flakes, available in sizes ranging from -10 to +100 mesh. These flakes are categorized as follows: Super Jumbo flakes (-10 to -20 mesh) and Jumbo flakes (-20 to -30 mesh) are used for conductivity and expandability; Large flakes (-30 to -50 mesh) are ideal for high-purity applications including further processing into battery anodes; Medium flakes (-50 to -80 mesh) are commonly utilized in lubricants and friction materials; and Small flakes (-80 to +100 mesh) are suitable for coatings and additives. Customers can purchase graphite in quantities ranging from 100 grams to 5 kg, providing flexibility for various industrial applications and project needs.
Quality Standards: Volt Carbon has benchmarked its dry-separated graphite against several leading brands available in the market. Internal and third-party laboratory tests (conducted by the University of Waterloo and external labs) consistently confirm that Volt Carbon's material is at least as pure as its competitors' product. These tests include evaluations for expandability, carbon, and graphite analysis through thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectroscopy (ICP-OES) to check for ash content, and X-ray fluorescence (XRF) to check for inorganic materials.
"The launch of our online graphite store is a testament to our commitment to developing natural flake graphite, a critical mineral where demand is expected to outstrip supply. This is the first step in a long journey to expand our market presence and provide end-use customers with high-quality materials produced with strong ESG credentials. This milestone is the result of two years of hard work and dedication by our team. This initiative is a significant stride towards developing further revenue streams for our carbon products," said V-Bond Lee, CEO of Volt Carbon Technologies Inc.
Termination of Option Agreement
With reference to prior news release dated June 11, 2024, Volt Carbon announces that the Company and Green Battery Minerals Inc. ("GEM") (TSXV: GEM) have mutually agreed to terminate their arm's length option agreement (the "Agreement") with respect to GEM's Berkwood Graphite Project, located in Northern Quebec. Volt Carbon has withdrawn its application to TSX Venture Exchange ("TSX-V") for approval of the Agreement and confirms no funds were expended on the Property, and no penalties incur.
