Homerun Resources Inc. University of California - Davis Lump Silica Testing
Rhea-AI Summary
Homerun Resources Inc. (TSXV: HMR) (OTCQB: HMRFF) has delivered a quartz silica sample from its Tatooine Project in British Columbia, Canada to the University of California - Davis for testing. The university's Department of Materials Science and Engineering will conduct innovative mechanical and thermal efforts to explore purification methods for the natural Canadian quartz silica. The research aims to utilize Homerun's proprietary advanced femtosecond laser techniques to upgrade the raw material.
The goal is to reduce impurities in the quartz sand, potentially achieving silica quartz grades of at least 99.99% purity. This process is expected to result in minimal workpiece distortion, rapid processing, and a significantly reduced carbon footprint for silica processing. The purified silica will be prepared for reduction to silicon and subsequent use in silicon carbide applications.
Positive
- Potential to achieve high-purity silica quartz grades of at least 99.99%
- Collaboration with prestigious University of California - Davis for research
- Proprietary advanced femtosecond laser techniques for silica purification
- Possibility of reduced carbon footprint in silica processing
