Volta Metals boosts visibility with OTCQB listing after Springer update
About this episode
Volta Metals CEO Kerem Usenmez joined Steve Darling from Proactive’s OTC studio in New York City to discuss the company’s latest developments, including its new OTCQB listing and a resource update from its Springer Rare Earth Element project in Ontario.
The company, which is focused on rare earths, gallium, lithium, cesium, and tantalum, is advancing a portfolio of critical minerals projects across Ontario through its Volta, Springer, and Aki properties—located in one of the world’s most active emerging hard-rock critical mineral districts.
Usenmez announced that Volta’s common shares have begun trading on the OTCQB Venture Market under the ticker “VOLMF,” providing increased visibility and accessibility for U.S. investors. The company will continue to trade on the Canadian Securities Exchange under the symbol “VLTA.”
The OTCQB listing is expected to broaden the shareholder base and improve liquidity as Volta advances its flagship Springer Rare Earth Element and Gallium Project.
He also highlighted a recently completed independent NI 43-101 Mineral Resource Estimate, which confirms Springer as one of the largest rare earth element deposits in North America.
Key highlights include a 1,248% increase in Indicated Resources to 56.6 million tonnes at 0.70% total rare earth oxides (TREO), including a high-grade near-surface core of 11.5 million tonnes at 1.10% TREO. Inferred Resources increased by 841% to 119.5 million tonnes at 0.58% TREO, including a near-surface high-grade core of 3 million tonnes at 1.16% TREO.
The company also noted that gallium results from the Fall 2025 drill program have not yet been included in the current estimate, with additional assays expected.
Volta is now advancing toward a Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA), supported by a planned 5,000-metre Phase 2 drill program and ongoing metallurgical testing, with completion targeted for the end of 2026.
The updated resource includes significant concentrations of neodymium, praseodymium, dysprosium, and terbium, further reinforcing Springer’s strategic importance in the critical minerals supply chain.
