Homerun Resources: Establishing a Vertically Integrated Leader in High-purity Silica

Homerun Resources (TSXV:HMR,OTC:HMRFF,FSE:5ZE) is advancing a three-phase strategy to establish itself as a leading global supplier and processor of high-purity silica, transforming this critical material into high-value products for the renewable energy and advanced materials sectors.

Phase 1: Secured the Belmonte Silica District and established a logistics pathway.
Phase 2: Advancing construction of processing facilities and solar glass production capacity.
Phase 3: Expanding into downstream verticals, including energy storage, perovskite solar technology, and AI-driven energy solutions.

Homerun is positioning itself across multiple high-growth industries where demand is accelerating, supply remains constrained, and pricing is strong. Brazil currently imports all of its solar glass and advanced silica components, creating a significant domestic supply gap.

Global solar glass demand is projected to grow from US$13 billion in 2024 to nearly US$197 billion by 2034 (31 percent CAGR), while high-purity quartz (HPQ) is critical to achieving the efficiency and purity standards required for advanced applications.

Supported by industrial tariffs and tax incentives in Brazil, Homerun’s **full-stack model — from silica sand through to finished solutions into downstream verticals such as energy storage, perovskite solar technology, and AI-driven energy solutions.

Company Highlights

Vertically Integrated Growth Model: Multiple profit centers across HPQ silica, advanced materials, solar glass and perovskite PV on glass, energy storage and AI-driven energy management solutions.
Flagship Resource Advantage: Exclusive 40-year leases with the government of the State of Bahia over the Santa Maria Eterna silica sand deposit in Brazil with over 63.9 Mt combined measured and inferred at >99.6 percent silicon dioxide (SiO₂) and low iron impurities, enabling direct feed into solar glass.
Latin America’s First Solar Glass Facility: Planned 365,000 tpa plant adjacent to the resource, supported by LOIs with Brazil’s largest solar module manufacturers and a large competitive COGS and subsequent pricing advantage over Chinese imports.
HPQ Processing Plant Near-Term: 120,000 tpa initial capacity for ultra-pure (>99.99 percent SiO₂) silica, with rapid scalability and low relative capex and projected ROI.
Breakthrough Energy Storage Partnership: Collaborating with the US Department of Energy’s NREL on a thermal energy storage system using Homerun’s silica with ancillary revenue from purified product output.
Government-backed Execution: MOU with Bahia State Government and Municipality of Belmonte includes a 64.5-hectare land grant, tax incentives, expedited permitting, infrastructure upgrades and workforce training.
Strong Financing Pipeline: Advancing funding discussions with Brazil’s development bank, innovation agency, institutional investors and announced plan for a UK main board listing.
