In Calgary, Alberta, on May 27, 2025, Volt Lithium Corp. made significant announcements concerning its management and strategic direction. The company confirmed the appointment of Marty Scase, its co-founder and a member of the Board, as the new Executive Chairman to spearhead its ongoing growth and transition towards operations in the United States. This management alteration aligns with Volt's efforts to advance its extraction technology and respond to the rising demand for lithium, essential for various clean energy applications. The company also announced the upcoming Annual General Meeting (AGM) scheduled for June 18, 2025. During this meeting, a proposal will be presented to change the company’s name to LibertyStream Infrastructure Partners Inc. This proposed name change signifies Volt's strategic evolution towards becoming a crucial infrastructure partner to the U.S. oil and gas sector, aiming to unlock domestic critical mineral resources effectively. The newly appointed Executive Chairman expressed excitement about his role in driving the company's strategies for innovation and development. Under Scase's leadership, Volt intends to enhance its extraction capabilities further while exploring new opportunities from the resources processed. This strategic move is essential as Volt aims to align its operations with U.S. policies that promote domestic mineral production and supply chain security. Volt's commitment to commercializing its technology is underscored by the recent deployment of its Generation 1 Field Unit in Texas, made possible by a partnership with an operator in the Permian Basin. This unit positions Volt as a leader in the Direct Lithium Extraction (DLE) process in North America, processing oilfield brines and marking an important step towards producing battery-grade lithium to cater to the shrinking supply of valuable resources. The company has emphasized that its strategies will continue to evolve to meet growing domestic demands for critical minerals, looking forward to keeping shareholders informed of its upcoming milestones.
