Voltaic Strategic Resources - VSR (ASX) News & Expert Insights from Stockhead

Voltaic Strategic Resources Limited (ASX:VSR) (Voltaic) is a mineral exploration company which has assembled a portfolio of exciting battery and precious metals exploration projects in the Gascoyne and Meekatharra regions of Western Australia (WA), and in Nevada, USA. Voltaic is led by an experienced corporate and technical team who have demonstrable success with exploration IPOs, M&A and assembling highly prospective tenure.

Voltaic’s portfolio of projects represents a well-balanced, early-stage exploration opportunity with the potential for lithium, rare earth elements (REE), gold, copper, nickel, cobalt, and platinum group element (PGE) discoveries within geological domains of known mineralisation potential. Such a discovery has the potential to generate significant value for both shareholders and stakeholders, such as the local communities and businesses. The Board believes our Battery & Precious Metals strategy has the best chance of success under current economic conditions, as it provides exposure to both the rapidly increasing global demand for ‘clean energy’ transition metals, and the hedge thematic of gold in the current inflationary environment.

The Company has a favourable corporate structure which is leveraged for equity upside: 2¢/share listing price and low enterprise value.
