Amaero International (ASX:3DA) reported ‘financial, operational and strategic advantages’  led the company to select Tennessee in the US over the UAE for its titanium powder manufacturing facility.

3DA  has signed a lease to be the sole tenant in 12,100sqm manufacturing facility in Cleveland.

The company said the State of Tennessee acted decisively to coordinate and to commit economic incentives from multiple stakeholders to attract the relocation of its flagship facility, along with 3DA’s research & development and corporate headquarters.

Furthermore the lease payments will be  ~75% less than the proposed build-to-suit facility at KEZAD in the UAE. 3AD said as a direct result, it expects to accelerate breakeven operations by 12 months and to reduce working capital needs by $22 million.

The graphite producer and natural graphite anode developer Volt Resources (ASX:VRC) climbed 20% after reporting that it is making progress on a stage one feasibility study update for its Bunyu Graphite Project in Tanzania and is expecting positive outcomes and robust economics.

While the company had initially projected an earlier completion date, it now anticipates releasing the updated feasibility study in early August 2023.

Volt has collaborated with Perth-based GR Engineering Services Limited (GRES), which has reviewed and coordinated the compilation of updated capital and operating cost estimates for Stage 1 of the project. Things are looking good, dates are and costs are in brisk retreat, Volt says.
