Volt Resources - Fully funded to complete pre-development goals

Volt has secured A$3.2m via two share issues to existing and new shareholders. The two raises (A$2.3m on 1 November and A$0.9m on 3 November 2017) will allow Volt to complete the critical path revised feasibility study (FS) on its Bunyu graphite project and for working capital purposes. These fund-raises will go towards completing management’s revised FS to better tailor its Bunyu graphite project to more closely match the opportunity in the battery-anode and fire-retardant end-markets, both of which provide the highest growth end-markets for future Bunyu graphite products. We also consider the success of these fund-raises, with the first heavily oversubscribed (56% above the original A$1.5m value), as a vote of confidence in Tanzania and its ability to treat graphite as an industrial mineral and separate from the ongoing negotiations regarding producers of precious metals and diamonds in country.
