Volato, M2i Global advance development of U.S. Strategic Mineral Reserve.

Volato (SOAR) and M2i Global announced the next phase of development of the digital and commercial infrastructure underpinning the U.S. Strategic Mineral Reserve. M2i initiated the SMR framework and technical specifications earlier this year. Volato is now applying its enterprise-software expertise to build and operationalize the secure technology backbone that will support critical mineral traceability, contracting, and compliance across the United States and allied nations. This infrastructure is being developed to serve as the market-facing layer of the U.S. Strategic Mineral Reserve initiative, providing miners, refiners, recyclers, manufacturers, and government entities with a trusted environment for physical critical mineral transactions-with verified provenance, end-to-end custody visibility, and regulatory compliance at its core.
