$TORVF - The Clean Graphite Revolution

ZERO CONVERTIBLE DEBT

ALL FINANCING THROUGH PRIVATE PLACEMENTS

Why This Matters: No toxic convertible debt means no death spiral dilution. No predatory lenders dumping shares into the market. Every dollar raised comes from sophisticated investors who WANT to own the company long-term, not toxic financiers looking to flip for quick profits.

U.S. Patent No. 12,172,192 (ISSUED)

Original air classifier patent covering core technology

Protects the fundamental process of using aerodynamics to separate and purify graphite flakes without water or chemicals. This is the foundational IP that makes everything else possible.

U.S. Patent Application No. 18/782,462 (NOTICE OF ALLOWANCE - October 2025)

Continuation patent expanding protection to advanced applications

Covers additional aspects and claims for graphite processing and advanced material applications including graphene production and aerospace composites. Notice of Allowance means USPTO has determined it meets all patentability requirements - just waiting for issue fees to be paid.

Canadian Patent (ISSUED)

Protects the air classifier technology in Canada - critical for North American graphite supply chain security.

Additional Patent: Metal-Organic Framework Electrolyte

New U.S. and Canadian patents for proprietary lithium-metal battery electrolyte technology. This is separate IP protecting their battery innovations.

How It Works:

The air classifier uses aerodynamics and controlled air flow to separate graphite flakes from ore based on particle size and density. Think of it like an ultra-precise wind tunnel that sorts particles without any water or chemicals.

• Input: Crushed graphitic rock (10-12 mesh size)
• Process: Air flow separates light gangue from heavy graphite flakes
• Output: 95%+ purity graphite, ready for battery applications
• Time: Complete processing in under 1 month for 100kg samples

Why This Changes Everything:

Mobile Deployment - The Game Changer:

Volt has packaged the air classifier into mobile, containerized units that can be deployed directly at mine sites. This is revolutionary:

• Eliminate transportation costs - Process ore where it's mined
• Reduce environmental impact - No shipping raw ore across continents
• Faster deployment - Set up processing in weeks, not years
• Scalable - Add more containers as production increases

Two bench-model units already fabricated. Second unit completed and ready for sea container installation.

Proven Results:

Over 500 process trials completed on 4 tonnes of graphitic rock. Achieved 95%+ purity. 50kg of purified large-flake graphite currently in storage ready for customer trials.
