Volta Metals' Springer Project Boasts Massive Rare Earth Resources, Aims for Top 3 in North America

Published: May 19, 2026 09:20
[SMM Rare Earth News Flash] Volta Metals' Springer rare earth project has indicated resources of 56.1 million mt (total rare earth oxide grade of 0.7%) and inferred resources of 119.5 million mt (grade of 0.58%), making it one of the largest rare earth resources in North America. The project is located approximately 70 kilometers from Sudbury, with well-established infrastructure, and is also rich in gallium, a critical metal required for semiconductor and national defense applications. The company plans to complete 5,000 meters of drilling in 2026, with a target of submitting a preliminary economic assessment by the end of the year, and is expected to rank among the top three rare earth projects in North America in the future.
