PART 2: SUMMARY AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
What is our business?
Volta Metals Ltd. is a mineral exploration company incorporated under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia). The Company is focused on rare earths, gallium, lithium, cesium, and tantalum. It owns, has optioned and is currently exploring a critical minerals portfolio of rare earths, gallium, lithium, cesium, and tantalum projects in Ontario, one of the world's most prolific and emerging hard-rock critical mineral districts. The address of the Company's registered office and its principal place of business are 130 King Street West, Suite 3680, Toronto, Ontario, M5X 1B1.
The Company's properties include the Springer Rare Earth Element ("Springer REE") Project, a critical mineral and gallium asset located near Sturgeon Falls, Ontario, and the Aki Project, located in northwestern Ontario, where the Company is currently exploring for gallium, lithium, cesium, and tantalum.
The Springer REE Project
On June 23, 2025, the Company entered into an option agreement to acquire an initial 80% interest, and up to a 100% interest, in the Springer REE deposit (the "Springer Option Agreement"). Pursuant to the Springer Option Agreement, to earn the initial 80% interest, the Company has 5,000,000 Common Shares remaining to be issued (with 2,500,000 due by June 23, 2026, and 2,500,000 due by June 23, 2027) and a total of $768,000 in cash payments remaining (with $266,000 due by June 23, 2026, and $502,000 due by June 23, 2027) to the optionor of the Springer REE Project (the "Optionor"). Under the Springer Option Agreement, the Company can acquire the remaining 20% interest within twelve months of completing a feasibility study on the Springer REE Project by paying the Optionor the fair market value of the Optionor's remaining 20% interest in the Springer REE Project at the time of such acquisition. SLR Consulting (Canada) Inc. ("SLR") has prepared a Mineral Resource Estimate ("MRE") on the Springer REE Project using drilling and assay data available as of October 29, 2025, with an effective date of December 31, 2025, pursuant to which Indicated Mineral Resources on the Springer REE Project totalled 56.6 million tonnes ("Mt") at 0.70% Total Rare Earth Oxides ("TREO") and Inferred Mineral Resources totalled 119.5Mt at 0.70% TREO. TREO includes the following rare earth oxides at the following grades for each of the Indicated Mineral Resources and the Inferred Mineral Resources on the Springer REE Project:
| Parameter | Unit | Indicated | Inferred |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tonnage | Mt | 56.6 | 119.5 |
| TREO | % | 0.70 | 0.58 |
| LREO | % | 0.67 | 0.56 |
| Parameter | Unit | Indicated | Inferred |
|---|---|---|---|
| HREO | % | 0.04 | 0.03 |
| La2O3 | ppm | 1,704 | 1,442 |
| CeO2 | ppm | 3,275 | 2,782 |
| Pr6O11 | ppm | 346 | 288 |
| Nd2O3 | ppm | 1,185 | 971 |
| Sm2O3 | ppm | 161 | 128 |
| Eu2O3 | ppm | 37 | 30 |
| Gd2O3 | ppm | 86 | 69 |
| Dy2O3 | ppm | 38 | 31 |
| Tb4O7 | ppm | 9 | 7 |

| Yb2O3 | ppm | 10 | 8 |
| Lu2O3 | ppm | 1 | 1 |
| Y2O3 | ppm | 169 | 141 |
| Notes: 1. CIM (2014) definitions were followed for mineral resources. 2. Open pit mineral resources are reported within an optimized pit shell above a cut-off value of $43/t. 3. The cut-off value accounts for all processing, G&A, refining, and transportation charges. Mining costs were assumed at $4.00/t moved. 4. TREOs include: La2O3, CeO3, Pr6O11, Nd2O3, Sm2O3, Eu2O3, Gd2O3, Tb4O7, Dy2O3, Ho2O3, Er2O3, Tm2O3, Yb2O3, Lu2O3, and Y2O3. 5. Heavy rare earth oxides ("HREO") include: Eu2O3, Gd2O3, Tb4O7, Dy2O3, Ho2O3, Er2O3, Tm2O3, Yb2O3, Lu2O3, and Y2O3. 6. Light rare earth oxides (LREO) include: La3O3, CeO3, Pr6O11, Nd3O3, and Sm3O3. 7. The average density of reported resources is 2.7 t/m3. 8. Revenue is attributable to Pr6O11, Nd3O3, Tb4O7, and Dy3O3. 9. Pr6O11 and Nd3O3 account for 90% of the total revenue. 10. Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. 11. Totals may not add or multiply accurately due to rounding. |
See the press release of the Company dated February 23, 2026 for further information relating to the MRE. Details of the MRE will be disclosed in an independent technical report to be filed by the Company within 45 days of the MRE's announcement on February 23, 2026.
The Aki Project
The Aki Project is a $63\mathrm{km}^2$ critical element project located near Armstrong, Ontario. The project hosts multiple pegmatite occurrences and structurally controlled targets identified through historical exploration and recent geophysical and geochemical programs, highlighting the presence of fertile LCT-style systems. While in its early stages, the Aki Project demonstrates strong discovery potential within a highly prospective and underexplored geological setting. The Aki Project is a consolidation of the Company's contiguous Falcon West, Crescent Lake, and Zigzag projects. Most recently, in September and October 2025, the Company completed stripping, trenching, and channel sampling on the Zigzag portion of the property.
Further details are available on the Company's profile on www.sedarplus.ca and on the Company's website: www.voltametals.ca.

The above-noted allocation represents the Company's current intentions with respect to its use of proceeds based on current knowledge, planning and expectations of management of the Company. Although the Company intends to expend the proceeds from this Offering as set forth above, there may be circumstances where, for sound business reasons, a reallocation of funds may be deemed prudent or necessary and may vary materially from that set forth above, as the amounts actually allocated and spent will depend on a number of factors, including the Company's ability to execute on its business plan and financing objectives. The Company has generated negative cash flows from operating activities since inception and anticipates that it will continue to have negative operating cash flow until profitable commercial production at one or more of its properties is achieved. As a result, certain of the net proceeds from this Offering may be used to fund such negative cash flow from operating activities in future periods. See "Cautionary Statement on Forward-Looking Information".
The most recent audited consolidated annual financial statements and unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial report of the Company included a going concern note. The Company is still in the exploration stage, and the Company has not yet generated positive cash flows from its operating activities, which may cast doubt on the Issuer's ability to continue as a going concern. The Offering is intended to permit the Issuer to advance its business objectives and are not expected to affect the decision to include a going concern note in future consolidated financial statements of the Company.
