CALGARY, Alberta, Nov. 28, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Volt Lithium Corp. (TSXV: VLT) (“Volt” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has successfully closed the second and final tranche of its previously announced non-brokered private placement of units (“Units”) of the Company (the “Concurrent Private Placement”). The Company completed the second tranche of the Concurrent Private Placement by distributing 430,645 Units at a price of $0.31 per Unit for gross proceeds of approximately $134,000.
