Vancouver, BC: Homerun Resources Inc. (“Homerun” ou a “Empresa”) (TSXV: HMR) (OTCQB: HMRFF) is pleased to announce that the Company has updated and signed a non-binding offtake agreement with Brasil Fotovoltaico Ltda. (“BRFV”). Under the offtake agreement, Homerun will supply BRFV with a minimum annual volume of 180 thousand tonnes of solar glass manufactured by the Company in Belmonte, Bahia, Brazil. The initial price for the solar glass is set at USD 750 per tonne, Free on Board (FOB) the Homerun facility.
“This updated offtake agreement aligns with the plan to have the full initial capacity of the Homerun solar glass plant covered by offtake agreements with Brazilian operators. Homerun has now announced 300 thousand tonnes of solar glass offtake and based on current ongoing discussions for increased and new offtakes, that number is expected to grow to 450 thousand tonnes which will exceed the modeled 1000 tonne per day plant capacity. This offtake process continues to confirm Homerun’s position as the go-to supplier for solar glass in Brazil. Homerun has drawn the attention of both the existing and future solar module manufacturers in Brazil and upon the completion of the BFS, the Company will formalize these offtake agreements to remove market risk and to facilitate further CAPEX streams to finance the building of the facility,” stated Armando Farhate, COO of Homerun.
This Agreement is non-binding and aims to outline the basic terms for the supply arrangements between the Parties. It does not create any legal obligations or liabilities for either Party. The Parties agree that binding agreements shall supersede this agreement, based on the development of the BRFV solar module facility and once the solar glass plant reaches a Bankable Feasibility Study (BFS).
The BFS process is progressing on an expedited basis:
- Abundant silica resources are proximal to the solar glass plant location and permitted for extraction and processing.
- Discussions to utilize current processing plant capacity in the Santa Maria Eterna Silica Sand District are ongoing with a current supply partner.
- Location, production plant engineering and equipment suppliers, market metrics and input cost calculations for the BFS have been completed internally by Homerun management.
- Utility suppliers and ties into the plant have been identified with infrastructure costs allocated to those utilities. Other raw materials supply has been identified and priced into the internal economic model.
- Public and private finance discussions to build the syndicate for the CAPEX (to be determined by the BFS) are ongoing including discussions with the industrial development bank of the Brazil Government (BNDES).
Brian Leeners, CEO of Homerun stated, “Last year, Brazil passed Germany to move into third place for global annual installed capacity of solar modules. The vast majority of these modules came into Brazil as imports. The domestic manufacturers have worked with the Brazilian Government to support the growth of the domestic industry through the newly implemented increase in tariffs on solar module imports. That plan is working to fuel both expansion and new solar module production capacity as Brazil moves toward the Government’s goal of transitioning solar module manufacturing to a new major Brazilian vertically integrated industrial base.”
