The Company\u2019s overall plan incorporates the Enduring Energy Storage system utilizing the SME silica sand as the medium of energy storage, in the form of heat as a key component of the general industrial development at Santa Maria Eterna.

The successful R&amp;D testing with NLR thermally pre-treated Homerun\u2019s raw silica sand at 1,000\u00b0C.<br><br>The Enduring Energy Storage integration into the Silica Valley Industrial Facilities is strategically important because it creates a purification and commercial extension of the Company\u2019s Phase 1, 350,000 tonne per year 3N primary silica sand purification, enabling purified silica streams to move up the value chain while at the same time improving the power and thermal efficiency of the Silica Valley Industrial Facilities and avoiding the need to allocate capital and build traditional dedicated calcination into the purification processing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This new Dorfner Anzaplan test specifically compared direct acid leaching without thermal pre-treatment against acid leaching after thermal pre-treatment at 1,000\u00b0C. The results support the Company\u2019s decision to proceed with processing the 3N Feedstock through a calcination plus acid leaching configuration as the preferred route for the best purification pathway for +4N silica.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The recently announced 3N Plant CAPEX is for a minimum 350,000 tonne per year primary purification plant targeting industrial grade 99.9% SiO\u2082 silica sand, establishing the upstream base from which higher value +4N and future 5N modules will be developed. Under Homerun\u2019s integrated model, the 3N plant is expected to provide a strong feedstock and commercial foundation for modular higher-purity processing, while the Enduring system offers integrated thermal processing and energy storage into the same high-purity silica powered value chain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Brian Leeners, CEO of Homerun, stated: <em>\u201cWhen I first encountered the NRL Enduring System almost three years ago, it immediately presented as an opportunity to provide an integrated energy storage and silica purification strategy. Now after the combined testing with NRL and Anzaplan we have confirmed that view. Enduring calcination followed by acid leaching is the preferred pathway for achieving the +4N product at our Silica Valley Facilities. Homerun and its partners will now advance the CAPEX planning under both the traditional and Enduring-integrated configurations, which preserves operating flexibility while quantifying a potentially important capital and operating advantage. This reflects how the Homerun operating team and its partners continue to leverage strategic disruption to build an integrated value chain for silica purification into advanced materials for energy and tech.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Further updates will be provided as Homerun advances the process design, mass balance, equipment definition and CAPEX cases for the +4N Purification Plant in the Silica Valley of Belmonte, Bahia, Brazil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About Homerun (<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/homerunresources.com\/pt\/\"><strong>www.homerunresources.com<\/strong><\/a><strong> \/ <\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.homerunenergy.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>www.homerunenergy.com<\/strong><\/a><strong>)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Homerun is building the silica-powered backbone of the energy and technology transitions across multiple focused verticals: High Purity Silica and Advanced Silica Materials, Solar, Energy Storage, and Energy Solutions.
