Calgary, Alberta--(Newsfile Corp. - June 3, 2026) - Volt Carbon Technologies Inc. (TSXV: VCT) (OTCQB: TORVF) ("Volt" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the appointment of Dr. Hey Woong Park as Chief Technology Officer ("CTO"), effective immediately.

Dr. Park has served as Head of Battery Development for Volt Carbon's wholly owned subsidiary, Solid UltraBattery Inc., and has played a key role in many of the Company's technology advancements in batteries, graphene, advanced materials, and natural graphite applications.

With more than 20 years of experience in advanced materials, battery development, and commercialization, Dr. Park has held technical and leadership positions with global battery industry leader LG Chem. His expertise spans battery materials, graphene technologies, manufacturing processes, product development, technology validation, and commercialization. Throughout his career, he has helped bridge the gap between scientific innovation and commercial product development.

Since joining Volt Carbon, Dr. Park has contributed to numerous technology milestones announced by the Company, including lithium metal battery development, graphene synthesis and exfoliation programs, advanced graphite processing, and nanomaterial characterization. Working alongside research partners, including the University of Waterloo, Dr. Park has helped advance Volt Carbon's understanding of the relationship between the crystalline properties of natural graphite and the performance of graphene derived materials. His work also contributed to the development of reduced graphene oxide ("rGO") derived from the Company's natural graphite resources. As previously announced on October 2, 2025, the Company's rGO was incorporated into epoxy systems and demonstrated a 40% to 60% improvement in mechanical properties compared to virgin epoxy. The Company further reported that the performance was attributed to the large sheet dimensions of the five-layer rGO and was considered to be at the high end of improvements reported in scientific literature for graphene reinforced epoxy systems.

V-Bond Lee, CEO and Chairman, stated, "Dr. Park is an accomplished researcher, inventor, and industry collaborator whose work has contributed significantly to Volt Carbon's technology platform and intellectual property portfolio. Many of the technology milestones announced by the Company over the past several years have benefited from his leadership and technical contributions. His experience spans natural graphite, graphene, advanced materials, and battery technologies, including leadership experience with one of the world's leading battery manufacturers. Dr. Park combines scientific expertise, industrial leadership, and commercialization knowledge that will support the continued advancement of Volt Carbon's technology portfolio."

"I am honored to accept the role of Chief Technology Officer," said Dr. Park. "Volt Carbon has assembled a unique portfolio of technologies spanning graphite processing, graphene, advanced materials, and batteries. I look forward to leading our team, research partners, and industry collaborators to accelerate product innovation."

As Chief Technology Officer, Dr. Park will lead Volt Carbon's technology strategy and product roadmap as the Company advances technologies spanning natural graphite processing, graphene production, advanced materials, lithium metal batteries, solid state battery architectures, and energy storage applications.
