Toronto, Ontario–(Newsfile Corp. – April 1, 2026) – Volta Metals Ltd. (CSE: VLTA) (OTCQB: VOLMF) (FSE: D0W) (“Volta” or the “Company“) is pleased to announce that its common shares have commenced trading on the OTCQB Venture Market in the United States under the ticker symbol VOLMF.
The OTCQB listing provides Volta with enhanced visibility and accessibility to U.S. investors, enabling a broader shareholder base and improved trading liquidity as the Company continues to advance its Springer Rare Earth Element (“REE“) and Gallium Project in Ontario, Canada.
The Company will continue to trade on the Canadian Securities Exchange (“CSE“) under the symbol VLTA and on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange under the symbol D0W.
The OTCQB is a premier marketplace for early-stage and developing companies, offering transparent trading and efficient access to U.S. capital markets. By trading on the OTCQB, Volta is better positioned to engage with U.S. institutional and retail investors seeking exposure to high-potential critical mineral opportunities, including rare earth elements and gallium.
Kerem Usenmez, President and Chief Executive Officer of Volta, commented: “We are very pleased to begin trading on the OTCQB under the ticker VOLMF. This is an important milestone for the Company and reflects our commitment to expanding Volta’s presence in the U.S. capital markets and improving accessibility for our growing base of American shareholders. The United States represents a critical and growing market for rare earth elements and gallium, strategic minerals essential to the clean energy transition, defense applications, and advanced manufacturing. We already have a meaningful number of U.S. investors supporting our story, and this listing provides them with a more efficient platform to trade our shares while opening the door to a broader pool of new investors. As we continue to advance the Springer REE Deposit, one of the largest rare earth deposits in North America, we believe this increased visibility in the U.S. market will play an important role in driving long-term shareholder value.”
The Company’s application for DTC eligibility with the Depository Trust & Clearing Corp. (“DTCC”) is currently in process. Once finalized, this will enable electronic clearing and settlement of the Company’s common shares, meaningfully reducing the time and cost associated with trading Canadian-listed securities in the United States.
