Volta Metals: Springer drilling returns 688m at 0.81% TREO, 68.1 g/t Ga2O3

Volta Metals reported final assays from its 13-hole, 5,445-meter 2026 winter drill program at the Springer rare earth-gallium deposit. Key intercept: 688 meters grading 0.81% TREO, 68.1 g/t Ga2O3 from 4.6 meters downhole in hole SL26-35. Four long intercepts graded 1% TREO or higher, about 43% above the current indicated resource average grade of 0.70% TREO. Gallium was present over the full assayed length of all 13 holes, supporting an inaugural gallium resource estimate targeted for Q4 2026. Compilation work flagged niobium as a potential by-product, including 0.16% Nb2O5 over 41.8 meters;
