Volta Metals Ltd. (CSE: VLTA, FSE: D0W, OTCQB: VOLMF) announced on June 15, 2026 assay results from drill holes SL25-25 and SL26-27 at its Springer Rare Earth Element deposit near Sturgeon Falls, Ontario, located approximately 70 km east of Sudbury.
Hole SL25-25 returned 0.40% TREO and 44.5 g/t Ga2O3 over 417.8 metres, from 5.2 m to 423.0 m, including a high-grade interval of 3.73% TREO and 174.7 g/t Ga2O3 over 2.2 m. The high-grade section showed strong enrichment in magnet rare earths, with neodymium up to 5,145.9 g/t Nd2O3, praseodymium up to 1,701.3 g/t Pr6O11, and dysprosium up to 66.9 g/t Dy2O3. The hole extended known mineralization roughly 220 m below historical hole SL12-20.
Hole SL26-27 intersected 0.36% TREO and 45.8 g/t Ga2O3 over 264.0 m, extending mineralization southward, with a higher-grade section of 0.61% TREO and 55.4 g/t Ga2O3 over 22.5 m. Both holes confirm continuity of the Springer carbonatite system. The rare earths and a portion of the gallium are primarily hosted in synchysite, a mineral amenable to established REE recovery processes. Mineralization remains open in all directions.
