Strategic European Lithium Acquisition – Jadar North

Graphite producer and battery anode material developer Volt Resources Limited (ASX: VRC) ("Volt" or "the Company") is pleased to announce the acquisition of three licence applications that are considered to be prospective for lithium-borate mineralisation. The licence applications are in respect to a total area of 291km2, located in Serbia and are west and south-west of the Serbian capital, Belgrade. Volt is acquiring 100% of the issued share capital in Asena Investments d.o.o. Beograd-Stari grad (Asena), a Serbian company which holds the rights in relation to the three licence applications.

Highlights

  • Acquisition of lithium licence applications in Serbia – Jadar North, Petlovaca and jig
  • The transaction forms part of a larger strategy to position Volt as a multi- commodity battery minerals company
  • Jadar North licence application over ground adjacent to Rio's world-class Jadar lithium-borate project in Serbia
  • Anomalous intersections of lithium and borate identified on Jadar North from limited historical diamond drilling
  • Jadar basin 100% occupied by Rio and Asena – subject to Asena being granted the Jadar Northlicence
  • Volt to acquire Serbian company Asena Investments d.o.o. which holds the rights to the three licence applications
  • Subject to the licence applications being granted Phase 1 drilling program expected to commence in CY Q3 2022 across all three licences

Volt Chairman, AsimweKabunga, commented:

"The Asena transaction is an exciting opportunity for Volt to acquire lithium licences in highly prospective and under-explored areas in Serbia.

The transaction forms part of a larger strategy to position Volt to become a multi-commodity battery minerals company, with projects focussed on the two key minerals in the fast growing lithium-ion battery market – lithium and graphite.

With these assets located in Europe and relatively close to the USA market, Volt's integrated battery minerals supply chain strategy continues to evolve and provides shareholders with significant long term growth opportunities."

Top 4 Largest Lithium Reserves by Country

Those interested in the lithium sector and investing in lithium stocks are often curious about which countries are the top producers of the battery metal, but they may not stop to consider the top lithium reserves by country.

Major lithium-producing countries are, of course, home to a large number of lithium companies. Many of the world’s top lithium producers also hold significant reserves, and their reserves can give an idea of how much room those countries have to grow. At the same time, nations with high reserves may become more significant lithium players in the future.

Looking forward, lithium demand is expected to continue increasing. That’s because, together with metals such as cobalt, lithium is a key raw material in the lithium-ion batteries used to power electric vehicles, and it is also essential for the energy storage sector.

Top 9 Lithium-producing Countries

Interest in lithium continues to grow due to its role in the lithium-ion batteries that power electric vehicles (EVs). As a result, more and more attention is landing on the top lithium-producing countries.

About 80 percent of the lithium produced globally goes toward battery production, but other industries also consume the metal. For example, 7 percent of lithium is used in ceramics and glass, while 4 percent goes to lubricating greases.

According to the US Geological Survey, lithium use in batteries has increased in recent years due to the use of rechargeable batteries in portable electronic devices, as well as in electric tools, EVs and grid storage applications.
