Homerun Resources Inc. Thermal Pre-Treatment with Acid Leaching Produces Plus 4N Silica Sand Supporting Bulk Sample Distribution and Advanced Materials Development
Rhea-AI Summary
Homerun Resources (OTCQB:HMRFF) reported that additional test-work by Dorfner Anzaplan on the Santa Maria Eterna silica sand in Bahia, Brazil, produced bulk purified silica exceeding 99.99% SiO2 with total impurities of 81 ppm using 2-hour thermal pre-treatment followed by acid leaching.
According to the company, this campaign confirms reproducible processing at production scale and uses the shortest heating duration tested, which it indicates could lower future energy use and operating costs. Bulk purified samples have been shipped to prospective customers for qualification and to the University of California, Davis, to support advanced materials development.

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - August 27, 2026) - Homerun Resources Inc. (TSXV: HMR) (OTCQB: HMRFF) ("Homerun" or the "Company") is pleased to provide a further update on the Purification Platform for the Santa Maria Eterna ("SME") silica sand district in Belmonte, Bahia, Brazil, following additional test-work and bulk sample progress by Dorfner Anzaplan GmbH ("Anzaplan").
The Company reports that the latest purification testing has successfully produced bulk purified silica material (+
This sample production campaign supports the reproducibility of the processing at production scale. This outcome is significant because it demonstrates that the best result from the testing program was achieved with the lowest heating duration tested, which may translate into meaningful reductions in process energy consumption, operating cost, and thermal equipment demand in future production scale-up scenarios.
This is an important operational milestone in advancing a practical and potentially lower-cost pathway for producing +4N silica, while also creating a feedstock stream for the continued development of Homerun's advanced materials.
The bulk sample batch produced by Anzaplan enables the next stage of engagement with prospective customers and research partners as Homerun works to align purification performance with commercial qualification and downstream advanced materials development.
