Recorded on April 27 2026
Volta Metals Ltd. trades as CSE: VLTA and OTCQB: VOLMF.
Steve Yang of Natural Resource Stocks interviews Kerem Usenmez, Director, President and CEO of Volta Metals Ltd., for a deep look at the company’s Springer rare earth and gallium project in Ontario. Kerem explains why gallium has become a strategic supply chain issue, why Western production matters, and why Volta believes its project could become a rare Canadian gallium resource story. The conversation covers Springer’s scale, surface mineralization, infrastructure near Sudbury, metallurgical recovery work, insider alignment, capital discipline, and the catalysts Kerem expects over the next several months. Kerem also discusses how the company views rare earth value, gallium upside, upcoming recovery results, a possible technical study, and why project access could matter as much as grade in the rare earth space. #Millettian
