Homerun Resources Inc. (HMRFF) has submitted a proposal to the joint strategic mineral transformation funding call by Brazil's BNDES and FINEP. The company's proposal, focused on transforming silica into high-value solar glass, is notably the only silica/silicon-related submission among 124 proposals received.

The R$5 billion (US$824 million) funding program, part of the New Industry Brazil initiative, aims to support industrial plants and pilot projects focusing on R&D&I.

Homerun Resources Inc. (HMRFF) has signed a letter agreement with The Land & Mineral Company for an exclusive 90-day evaluation period of the Spruce Pine Silica Project in North Carolina. The project is strategically located just 3.2km from Sibelco's operations and 8.1km from The Quartz Corp in the Spruce Pine Silica Mining District, which supplies 70-90% of global high-purity quartz. The evaluation will include new sampling, assaying, and thermoelectric purification testing at UC Davis, where previous testing successfully improved SiO2 grades in other company projects. The Spruce Pine district's quartz is crucial for semiconductor and solar PV manufacturing, particularly in producing fused silica crucibles for silicon ingot production, where it represents about 30% of production costs.

Homerun Resources Inc. (HMRFF) has advanced its silica purification initiatives by sending >99.99% SiO2 samples, previously purified through NREL testing, to UC Davis for femtosecond laser purification. This follows their June 2024 success in producing 99.999% SiO2 from raw silica sand from their Belmonte Silica Resource in Brazil. Meanwhile, Dorfner Anzaplan GmbH is developing final processes for a 120,000-tonne annual silica processing plant in Belmonte. The company aims to target both industrial uses and emerging markets like battery anode materials, where silicon anodes are projected to reach a $15 billion market by 2035. Additionally, Homerun announced the appointment of Stephen Burega as Executive Director, bringing 30 years of leadership experience in finance, mining, and public affairs.

Homerun Resources has completed a 43-101 compliant Technical Report for its Belmonte Silica Sand District project in Bahia, Brazil. The report confirms substantial high-purity silica sand resources of 25.56 million tonnes Measured and 38.35 million tonnes Inferred, with average silica content exceeding 99.6%.

The assessment, conducted by Geoinform Pesquisas Geológicas, involved 254 auger drill holes totaling 2,565 meters. The project benefits from:

• Strategic location with good infrastructure access
• Environmental license secured in December 2024
• 40-year lease agreement with CBPM
• Potential for glass, ceramic, and technology applications

The resource modeling considered depths up to 10 meters for measured resources and 25 meters for inferred resources, based on observations from the adjacent Jundu mine. Simple washing tests demonstrated improved silica grades, highlighting strong economic potential.
