VOLT CARBON TECHNOLOGIES (TORVF) Stock News

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.

Volt Carbon (OTCQB: TORVF) received a Notice of Allowance from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office for U.S. Patent Application No. 18/823845, the company's third U.S. patent allowance tied to its dry separation platform for graphite processing.

The patent portfolio bolsters protection of a water‑free, chemical‑free process that preserves graphite crystallinity, aims to reduce processing intensity, and supports commercial deployment via a scalable demonstration facility. The patent will issue after customary administrative steps and payment of final fees.

Volt Carbon (OTCQB: TORVF) will exhibit at PDAC 2026 and reports a recalculated historic rock chip result of approximately 26% TREO for sample COPE10AR-20 from Mount Copeland.

Internal dry-separation tests produced molybdenum concentrates with preliminary internal XRF rhenium results of ~2,790–3,182 ppm. All results are selective, preliminary, and pending independent ICP-MS verification for NI 43-101 disclosure.

Volt Carbon (OTCQB: TORVF) announced a second U.S. patent (USPTO No. 12,491,538) to be issued on December 9, 2025, supporting its dry-separation air classification for graphite purification. The company also reported new lithium-metal battery test results from its Guelph facility, including a single-layer pouch cell reaching 1600 cycles at 0.75C, a cathode loading projected to support ~340 Wh/kg with work toward 400 Wh/kg, and strong capacity retention at an extreme 10C discharge.

Volt Carbon released demonstrations for its air classifier and expandable graphite and disclosed low-temperature coin- and pouch-cell performance with operation down to -70°C in lab tests.

Volt Carbon Technologies (OTCQB: TORVF) announced three key developments: a Notice of Allowance for its second U.S. patent on air classifier technology, significant graphene oxide production achievements, and a stock option grant.

The company's continuation patent application (No. 18/782,462) expands protection for its proprietary air classifier technology in graphite processing. In a major technical achievement, Volt Carbon successfully produced five-layer reduced graphene oxide (rGO) sheets measuring up to 16.5 microns wide, demonstrating 40-60% improvement in mechanical properties when incorporated into aerospace epoxy composites.

Additionally, the company granted 6.5 million stock options to officers, employees, and contractors, exercisable at $0.05 per share with a five-year term and immediate vesting.

Volt Carbon Technologies (OTCQB: TORVF) has consolidated all operations to its Guelph, Ontario facility, marking a strategic shift to accelerate commercialization of its patented mobile graphite purification technology. The company has completed over 500 process trials on 4 tonnes of graphitic rock and stockpiled 40 tonnes of graphitic rock for upcoming pilot-scale production.

Key technological achievements include: 1,100 charge-discharge cycles with 80% capacity retention in proprietary LFP batteries, and 800 cycles with 80% capacity retention at 400 Wh/kg in lithium-metal batteries with NMC811 cathodes. The Guelph facility now supports testing of 160 coin cells and 168 pouch cells, with new capabilities including a -70°C environmental chamber for aerospace and defense applications.

The company has expanded its IP portfolio with new U.S. and Canadian patents for its metal-organic framework electrolyte used in lithium-metal batteries.

Volt Carbon Technologies (TORVF) has received TSX Venture Exchange approval to expand its non-brokered private placement from its previously announced size. The offering will now consist of 17.5 million units priced at $0.02 per unit, aiming to raise gross proceeds of up to $350,000. Each unit includes one common share and one common share purchase warrant. The company has also secured an extension for the final closing date to June 27, 2025. The proceeds will be used to advance battery and mineral separation technologies, settle outstanding payables, and provide working capital. No finder's fees are anticipated for this offering.

Volt Carbon Technologies (OTCQB: TORVF) has completed the first tranche of its private placement offering, raising $110,000 in gross proceeds. The company issued 5.5 million units at $0.02 per unit, with each unit comprising one common share and one warrant. Each warrant allows holders to purchase an additional common share at $0.05 within 24 months of issuance.

The securities from this first tranche are subject to a four-month and one-day hold period, with no finder's fees paid. Volt Carbon anticipates closing the second tranche by June 27, 2025, pending TSX-V approval.
