(TSXV: VCT) (OTCQB: TORVF) (BE: WNF) (\"VCT\" or \"Volt\") is pleased to announce the results of its graphite purification endeavors conducted at the Scarborough, Ontario facility over the initial seven months of 2023.Key Achievements in Dry SeparationVolt has conducted comprehensive dry separation procedures, using its innovative proprietary techniques, on six distinct graphite rock samples sourced from various third-party graphite deposits in the provinces of Ontario and Quebec. Internal analyses of the processed samples demonstrated a 96.1% purity in graphitic carbon and 98.1% total carbon, more particulars of which are set forth below in Figure 1.Figure 1: Results of Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA) of Volt's graphite concentrateTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/9904/177407_voltcarbonfigure1.jpgVolt believes the results represent an unprecedented level of graphitic carbon purity and demonstrate that exceptionally high yielding results can be obtained from applying Volt's dry separation techniques to some of the graphite rock samples in Ontario and Quebec. Although further testing and sampling is required to demonstrate feasibility, Volt is optimistic about the opportunities for further development. Furthermore, the composition of residual ash post-Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA) underwent internal evaluation using Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS), revealing minimal traces of remaining elements as set out below in Figure 2. The targeted removal of these trace elements is set for upcoming dry separation trials. The processed materials and results described herein have not been independently verified although Volt plans to have them verified by an independent lab.Figure 2: Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP) results of the ash contentTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/9904/177407_voltcarbonmetalsfigure2.jpgVolt is pleased with these results which it believes is attributed to the innovative advancements it has made to its own process which include the...
