[{"type":"text","content":"Mineralization remains open for expansion HIGHLIGHTS Spodumene (high-grade Lithium mineral) bearing pegmatites intersected in all 11 boreholes Multiple mineralized pegmatites were intersected in holes targeting AM, Falcon West North, Falcon West South New spodumene-bearing pegmatite dykes intersected Pegmatite thickness range from 1.3m to 14.6m thick and the multiphase mineralized system remains open for expansion along strike and depth Mineralized samples have been delivered to the laboratory in Thunder Bay with results expected in early 2024 Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - December 12, 2023) - Volta Metals Ltd. (CSE: VLTA) (\"Volta\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce the completion of the final hole of its inaugural drill program at the Company's Falcon West Lithium Property (the \"Property\"), located in the Falcon-Seymour corridor in northwestern Ontario, Canada. The 11-hole, 933-metre drill program targeted 5 recently discovered spodumene pegmatites within a 300m by 500m area (See news release dated November 14, 2023). All holes intersected near-surface spodumene mineralization, with FW23-07 intersecting a blind, 11.7m wide mineralized pegmatite that it remains open in all directions (Figure 1 through Figure 4). The spodumene mineralization in pegmatites confirms the surface observations of homogeneous spodumene dispersion within an albite-spodumene-type pegmatite system (see the comments by the Company's technical director, Dr. Fred Breaks, in the news releases dated October 3, 2023 and November 14, 2023). Mineralized pegmatite intercepts observed are up to 14.6m wide and 11.9m depth, with a 100% success rate. In detail, at least 2 phases of spodumene mineralization are noted, suggesting the presence of a robust or well developed mineralized system. The spodumene observed in the core is generally coarse-grained, with crystals up to 40cm in length and 2.5cm in width (Figure 1 and Figure 2). Kerem Usenmez, P.Eng., President and CEO, commented, \"We are very pleased with our first-ever drilling program at the Falcon West Lithium Property, which only tested a small portion of the large, ~13km2 land package. Our experienced team's success of discovering and drilling with 100% success in less than 6 months validates the significant mineralization potential of this pr...
