Homerun Announces Commissioning of Dorfner Anzaplan for Engineering Development of Silica Purification Plant in Belmonte, Brazil

HOMERUN RESOURCES INC. ANNOUNCES THE COMMISSIONING OF DORFNER ANZAPLAN FOR ENGINEERING DEVELOPMENT OF SILICA PURIFICATION PLANT IN BELMONTE, BRAZIL Vancouver, B.C.: Homerun Resources Inc. (“Homerun” or the “Company”) (TSXV: HMR) (OTCQB: HMRFF) is pleased to announce that the Company has secured the services of Dorfner Anzaplan GmbH (“Anzaplan”) to perform final calcination and leaching test work ,  process design and CAPEX estimate for Homerun’s flagship silica sand deposit in Belmonte, Bahia, Brazil, with the ultimate target of:   Providing an AACE class 5 CAPEX estimate for an initial 120,000 tonnes per annum processing plant to be erected in Belmonte, proximal to Homerun’s silica sand resources; and Producing 2kg of samples of the final product – Homerun Ultra-Pure Silica Sand with less than 100 ppm of impurities.   Anzaplan will initiate confirmation test work to validate the purification test work completed during 2024 under the Company’s partnership with NREL (US Department of Energy), which applied a matrix of complex thermal and chemical testing treatments to identify streamlined pathways to >99.99% SiO2 purity. Brian Leeners, CEO of Homerun stated, “As a pioneering company in the high-purity silica sand industry, we have gained a significant advantage by actively listening to our prospective customer needs and wants from the very beginning. After carefully evaluating global product inquiries across various industries, we’ve made the strategic decision to develop a new thermal upgrade plant for our high-purity silica resources in Belmonte, Brazil. This path forward maximizes our silica sand resource value for our shareholders, by focusing on the highest margin use cases for the exceptional resource we’ve been fortunate to acquire in Belmonte, Bahia, Brazil. This thermal upgrade facility will allow us to meet the demands of our customers and solidify our position as a leading global provider of high purity silica sand for a variety of industrial and technology end-uses.”   Homerun has already confirmed that it’s silica sand can achieve these elevated purity levels in the lab testing completed in partnership with the University of California – Davis Materials Lab in H1 2024, and is scaling these initiatives through continuing development work underway at UC-Davis in 2025.   The comprehensive proprietary data sets from both NREL and UC Davis have been transferred to Anzaplan. Further to developing the final silica purification process flows, Anzaplan will be tasked with the next step in the development of Homerun’s Ultra-Pure Silica Sand for the global market by developing the CAPEX estimate for the Belmonte Processing Plant, based on the following deliverables:   Process design Block flow diagram (BFD) Mass balance Major equipment list Capital cost estimate, AACE class 5 level   Anzaplan will issue a final report with the evaluation and assessment of the results. This work program will be concluded in Q2 2025. Homerun plans to utilize the Anzaplan work for the development of the required silica sand processing plant in 2025.   “Anzaplan is one of the most renowned mineral technology entities in Europe, with wide experience in processing and analysis of quartz silica and silica sand. This development work program will provide Homerun with an important competitive edge in the high purity silica sand marketplace, in total synergy with the Company’s vertical integration plans, supporting significant value creation in our advanced materials strategy”, stated Armando Farhate, COO of Homerun.   About Dorfner Anzaplan GmbH (https://www.anzaplan.com/ ) Anzaplan’s portfolio covers process design and engineering services, consulting in market requirements and applications, and high-end analytical services along the complete value chain of project valuation - from material analysis, through flow sheet design, to realization of plant engineering and, crucially, end user customer acceptance.
