Volt Carbon Technologies Inc. announced that it will be exhibiting at PDAC 2026 at Booth 2306, where the Company will showcase its proprietary dry mineral separation technology, graphite extraction process, and lithium-ion battery development initiatives. In conjunction with PDAC, the Company provides a technical update on historic data from its Mount Copeland property in British Columbia and recent internal metallurgical work. Mount Copeland Technical Update.

Mount Copeland is documented in British Columbia Geological Survey Assessment Report 31,834 entitled "Geological and Geochemical Report on the Mount Copeland Property" authored by Andris Kikauka, P.Geo., 2010. Geochemical analysis certificates included in Assessment Report 31,834 comprise results from three laboratories: Pioneer Labs (Certificate 2102718, 2010), ALS (Certificate VA10144345, 2010), and SGS (Certificate CA02322, 2010). The SGS certificate reported three rare earth elements including La 10%, Pr 0.77%, and Ce 13.1%.

Sample AR-20 was taken from a shear zone at 2,270 meters elevation hosted in coarse grain syenite gneiss with elevated apatite and zircon. The historic Copeland Mine, at elevation 2,100 metres is located 1.2 km northwest of Mount Copeland. Review of the 2010 technical report identified a typographical transcription error in the summary table.

The original laboratory certificates contained in the appendix were correct; however, certain assay values for rock chip sample COPE10AR-20 were not accurately transcribed into the summary table. Using the original laboratory certificates referenced in the appendix, the Company recalculated the Total Rare Earth Oxide equivalent for sample AR20, which returns approximately 26% TREO. The Company cautions that this recalculated TREO value is derived from historic laboratory certificates and has not been independently re-assayed or verified under current National Instrument 43-101 standards.

The reported value relates to a select rock chip sample and is not necessarily representative of mineralization across the property. Rock chip samples are selective in nature and may not be indicative of grade or continuity. In 2024, additional rock chip samples collected near the edge of the Copeland Glacier returned values of up to 0.234% niobium associated with elevated molybdenum.

These results are also based on selective sampling and may not be representative of mineralization across the Property. Representative samples from AR20 and other prospective zones are being prepared for submission to an independent laboratory for ICP-MS analysis to support potential future NI 43-101 compliant disclosure. Molybdenum and Rhenium Update.

The Company has also applied its dry mineral separation process to molybdenum-bearing rock chip samples from both Mount Copeland and the Red Bird property, upgrading the material to molybdenum. concentrates. The Red Bird property is characterized as a copper-molybdenum porphyry system with associated silver and rhenium mineralization, as documented in prior exploration work.

Rhenium is commonly associated with molybdenite in porphyry environments. Preliminary internal XRF analysis was performed using an Elvatech ElvaX ProSpector 3 X-ray fluorescence analyzer. The instrument was calibrated in accordance with manufacturer specifications and verified using certified reference standards prior to analysis.

Internal XRF analysis indicates that Mount Copeland material returned approximately 2,790 ppm rhenium in elemental analysis. Red Bird material returned approximately 3,182 ppm rhenium in oxide analysis and 2,115 ppm Rhenium in elemental analysis of selected separated samples.
