What’s needed to fuel EV expansion in Europe: McKinsey
Volt Resources Ltd (ASX:VRC, OTC:VLTRF) is advancing two high-quality graphite assets to become an integrated natural graphite anode producer – a critical material used in lithium-ion batteries.
Volt has a 70% interest in the ZG business in Ukraine. The ZG mine and processing facilities have been in operation since 1934 and are near key markets with significant developments in lithium-ion battery production.

ZG has started generating revenue from the graphite produced and as of July 31, 2023, had generated product revenues of about €992,000 or about A$1.7 million.
Graphite price is down 29% in 2023, however, the fundamentals of graphite demand vs supply haven’t changed and remain supportive.
While China is likely to be dominated by synthetic graphite, in North American and EU markets, natural graphite is expected to dominate.
Volt’s Bunyu Graphite Project in Tanzania, located 140 kilometres from Mtwara port, is one of the largest graphite deposits in the world.
Bunyu natural graphite product is suitable for a range of end-use applications including battery anode material, refractories, foils, gaskets, dry lubricants, graphene and other applications.
Volt has planned a two-stage development with stage 1 significantly de-risking the development of the stage 2 expansion project.

Stage 1 will produce 24,780 tpa (tonnes per annum) flake graphite and stage 2 expansion increases annual production to 170,000 tpa flake graphite.
Interestingly, the projected stage 2 graphite production is enough for about 2.8 million electric vehicles per year.
Read: Volt Resources inks exclusive agreement with American Energy Technologies Co; eyes US DOE funding
Earlier this month, Volt and American Energy Technologies Co. (AETC) fortified their partnership with a limited scope exclusivity agreement, setting sights on the United States Department of Energy (DOE) funding for a proposed 7,500-tonne per annum natural graphite anode plant.
Major milestones reached for Bunyu, ZG and battery anode plant.
The proposed natural graphite anode plant plant represents an opportunity to reduce the US's dependency on Chinese-dominated supply chains, particularly in the realm of spheroidal graphite processing.
Transformation of Volt is underway.
