Executive Chairman Stephen Hunt commented: “We are delighted to have Michael join our team. Michael is a highly respected and a well sought after expert in emerging technologies, with excellent relationships among battery producers globally. His experience and technical knowledge will be invaluable as we continue to market our high-quality flake graphite to prospective North American and European off-take partners.”

On joining Volt, Mr Michael Lew said: “This is a unique opportunity and I look forward to working with the existing Volt team. I believe Volt could be well-positioned through its offerings to benefit from growing demand for large, jumbo and super flake graphite. Moreover, this is not only for the lithium-ion battery market, but for several high tech applications currently being developed which will fundamentally change the world we live in.”
