"On behalf of the team at Volt, I would like to thank Kyle for his leadership and stewardship of the company over the past year and a half, as we transitioned from a copper-focused entity to a lithium development and technology business," commented Mr. Wylie, president and CEO of Volt. "I look forward to Kyle's continued support and commitment as a board member, and will leverage his resource expertise as we continue to build Volt into a commercial lithium producer, which is expected by the second half of 2024."

Volt's common shares will commence trading on the TSX-V under the ticker symbol VLT and on the OTCQB exchange in the United States under the ticker symbol VLTLF, effective at the open of market trading today, April 27, 2023. The stock ticker symbol change was made in conjunction with the company's name change to Volt, as approved by shareholders on April 20, 2023. As part of this strategic repositioning, Volt is also pleased to unveil its new corporate website.

"Trading as VLT represents the final stage of our corporate pivot to Volt and aligns our presence in the capital markets with our core business as a lithium development and technology company aiming to be North America's first commercial producer of lithium hydroxide and lithium carbonates from oil field brine," said Mr. Wylie, president and CEO of Volt. "We are looking forward to the results from our current pilot project which are expected by the end of Q2 2023. The results are anticipated to demonstrate that our next-generation IES-300 technology can lower operating costs by reducing reagent inputs while maintaining high lithium extraction, enabling Volt to target attractive economics that support shareholder value creation."

Once available, the company will provide an update to the new trading symbol for the Frankfurt exchange in Germany.
