HOMERUN RESOURCES INC. REPORTS DISCOVERY OF HIGH PURITY QUARTZ LUMPS ON 100% OWNED TENEMENTS IN NORTHEAST BRAZIL – CANIDÉ PROJECT

Vancouver, B.C.: Homerun Resources Inc. (“Homerun” or the “Company”) (TSXV: HMR) (OTCQB: HMRFF) is pleased to announce that the Company has performed a successful exploratory surface mapping on possible quartz mineralization occurrences in the states of Ceará, Piauí and Pernambuco, in the Northeast region of Brazil, followed by the claiming of these areas at the ANM (Brazil’s National Mining Agency) and after which these claims have now been granted. The Company has decided to name this the Canidé project and believes these assets will be of paramount importance in the Company’s drive under Phase 1 of its Business Strategy as a source of quartz silica material for the Silicon industry.

HIGHLIGHTS:

  • In response to unsolicited commercial interest, Homerun has identified a Lump Quartz District in Ceará State, after conducting a field exploration, a total of 47 samples of quartz / quartzite were collected and analyzed, with resulting silica grades between 97.83% and 99.80%, most of grade results are above 99%.
  • A total of 18 areas were claimed at ANM, totalling 29,241 Ha, and the granting of these areas to Homerun has been published on Brazil’s Official Journal.
  • The quartz purity is suitable to high value-added silicon applications.
  • These areas are near the Suape and Pecém ports, ensuring excellent logistics.

Twenty-three areas with quartz/quartzite were initially identified. At least one sample was collected from each location, keeping in mind size, rock exposure and variation.

47 samples were collected, 46 of quartz/quartzite of apparently high silica content and one of granitic rock. The targets of this investigation were selected through satellite imaging analysis. The samples were sent to SGS Geosol laboratory for analysis. This work resulted in being able to target the best areas and claim these areas with silica grades between 97,83% and 99,80%, with most grading results over 99%.

The samples were named with the code HMR-XX-YYY, were XX is the state abbreviation and YYY is a continuous number from 001 until 047 (the last sample collected). Most of these areas were claimed at ANM after field observations, as well as some adjacent areas (figure 3), totalling eighteen areas. Table 1 indicates samples coordinates.

Table 3. Summary of lab results

“Adding lump quartz to Homerun’s portfolio will close the loop on the silica applications and allow the Company to execute on its strategy of becoming a major player in the silica world. Our team continues to work on these new areas, and the potential for very large tonnages is evident.” says Armando Farhate, COO of Homerun.

Dr. Mauro Terence, CTO of Homerun, comments on the production and properties of silicon from high purity silica. “Silicon (Si) is obtained from silica. This high-quality silica (SiO2) combined with our exclusive purification process guarantees high quality silica. The main advantage of obtaining silicon from high purity silica is the production of silicon with extremely low levels of impurities, essential for advanced technological applications. High purity silicon is fundamental in the manufacture of electronic devices such as semiconductors and microchips, where even small contaminations can affect performance and reliability. It is also indispensable for the photovoltaic industry in the manufacture of efficient solar cells. With high purity silica, it is possible to better control the subsequent purification process, such as the zone refining method or chemical vapor deposition, reducing costs and optimizing product quality.”
