🌍 Building More Than a Mine — Building a Community 👨‍👩‍👧‍👧 Progress at our #Bunyu Graphite Project in #Tanzania isn't just measured in metres drilled or buildings constructed — it's measured in classrooms built, futures supported, and communities strengthened. Our site office and storage shed at Namangale B-1 is now approximately 95% complete, a testament to the hard work of our local Fundi craftsmen on the ground. These skilled tradespeople are at the heart of what we're building — and we couldn't do it without them. Beyond the site, our Corporate Social Responsibility plan — approved by the Mtama District Council — is already delivering: ✅ Two new classrooms under construction at Namangale B Primary School ✅ 138 tables and chairs being produced for Namangale Secondary School As our colleagues at Volt Graphite Tanzania put it so well: "Creating a better learning environment is an investment in the future of our children and the nation as a whole." 🫂 We share that belief wholeheartedly. The #Bunyu project is about building a responsible, sustainable future — for our shareholders, and for the communities of the #Lindi Region. We are grateful to the Mtama District Council, local community leaders, and our dedicated in-country team for making this possible. 💚 #Tanzania #VoltResources #VoltGraphiteTanzania #BunyuGraphite #CSR #CommunityDevelopment #Graphite #CriticalMinerals #Sustainability #EducationMatters #ASX #VRC $VRC @asxvolt

📢 Volt Resources Limited is pleased to share an update on customer acquisition for the planned #Alabama Graphite Refinery. ✅ Customer acquisition is progressing as one of five workstreams for the Alabama Graphite Refinery, alongside industrialisation, financing, raw material security and the Volt Customer Application and R&D Centre. ✅ Multiple US battery and industrial manufacturers are engaging with Volt on purified graphite supply, targeting shorter‑qualification, near‑term revenue applications. ✅ A leading US consumer battery producer has provided specifications, volume and pricing targets, and Zavalivskiy Graphite in Ukraine has shipped 200 kg of purified flake graphite to the US for qualification. ✅ A major US lead‑acid battery manufacturer, and two prominent #US manufacturers in thermal management and friction materials, have also requested purified graphite samples. ✅ Bunyu flake #graphite qualification continues, with a coarse flake offtake secured and fine flake discussions underway with a global automotive OEM and an Asian CSPG producer. 🌍 Policy and market developments – including FEOC restrictions under the FY2026 NDAA, reduced third‑party refining capacity in the US and China’s graphite export controls – are increasing interest in domestic purified graphite supply. #ASX #VRC #VoltResources #Alabama #Graphite #BatteryMaterials #EnergyStorage #CriticalMinerals #Bunyu #EVsupplychain #MadeInUSA #CleanEnergy @asxvolt $VRC

📢 Volt Resources Limited (ASX: VRC) is gearing up for its next growth chapter in the #USA 🇺🇸 💡 We’re progressing plans to establish a Customer Application and R&D Centre in Alabama – a new hub designed to fast‑track advanced #graphite materials from lab concept to commercial product for North American customers. 🌍 Four potential #USA locations are under evaluation – #Tuscaloosa, #Birmingham, #Huntsville and #Dothan – each offering access to universities, innovation ecosystems and industrial infrastructure. The Centre will be closely aligned with Volt’s planned #Alabama Graphite Refinery, supporting product development, customer engagement and technology transfer into commercial-scale production. This facility is expected to: ✅ Bring Volt’s technical team closer to US battery and non‑battery customers ✅ Accelerate product sampling, qualification and process optimisation ✅Support IP generation, patent filings and new graphite applications ✅ De‑risk scale‑up of Volt’s low‑cost, hydrofluoric acid‑free purification technology into the planned Alabama refinery DFS currently underway. 🏢Site selection is in progress, with a focus on R&D suitability, pilot-plant capability, talent attraction and the availability of state and local incentives. Initial operations at the Centre are planned to commence as soon as practicable in alignment with funding and permitting timelines for the refinery. 🔋 From mining to advanced materials, Volt is building an integrated graphite platform to support North America’s energy transition. #VoltResources #Graphite #BatteryMaterials #Alabama #AdvancedMaterials #EnergyTransition #CleanEnergy #EVSupplyChain #Innovation #CriticalMinerals #MadeInUSA #ASX #VRC $VRC @asxvolt Read full announcement here 👉 api.investi.com.au/api/annou…
