Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - December 16, 2025) - Homerun Resources Inc.

EXECUTION OF INFRASTRUCTURE COMMITMENTS UNDER THE MOU
As disclosed on May 13th, 2025 (News here), Homerun is party to a memorandum of understanding ("MoU") with CBPM (Bahia's state geological service and mineral assets company), Bahia state government entities, the Municipality of Belmonte and Bahiagás to advance the development of a silica processing plant and a large-scale solar glass factory in Santa Maria Eterna. Local municipal decrees and coverage of this MoU reference obligations that include land for the industrial site, as well as commitments to improve infrastructure and logistics access to the district, which implicitly encompasses road access to BR-101. This comes after Homerun's December 15th news release stating the Municipality of Belmonte's commitment and allocation of funding to the paving of approximately 5km of road connecting Santa Maria Eterna to BR-101, the main federal highway in the region.
The commencement of construction on the BA-274 / BA-982 connection is an important early demonstration of this institutional support. The works now underway materially improve all-weather access between Santa Maria Eterna and BR-101, reduce future haulage risk and logistics costs for potential silica and solar glass operations, and visibly anchor the region's transition toward an industrial hub based on high-purity silica and advanced glass manufacturing.
