Disseminated on behalf of Homerun Resources Inc.
With today´s news, Homerun Resources Inc. has taken another decisive step forward in consolidating its position as a leader in high-purity silica. Brazil’s National Mining Agency (ANM) has formally approved the Final Exploration Report for mineral rights leased from Companhia Bahiana de Pesquisa Mineral (CBPM) in the Santa Maria Eterna High Purity Silica District, Bahia, Brazil.
The report, which includes a NI 43-101 compliant Mineral Resource Estimate, outlines 25.56 million tonnes (Measured) and 38.35 million tonnes (Inferred) of ultra-high-grade silica sand (>99.6% SiO2). This marks a significant validation of the scale and quality of Homerun’s silica holdings and provides the foundation for the next step – submission for the Final Mining Permit.
Why It Matters to Investors
This approval is more than a regulatory milestone; an approval that enhances the company’s pathway to commercialization:
• Resource Certainty: The ANM’s approval validates Homerun’s resource base, de-risking the project and supporting long-term development plans.
• Permitting Momentum: With one CBPM lease already fully permitted for immediate extraction, today’s approval accelerates Homerun’s ability to move from exploration into commercial-scale production.
• Strategic Advantage: High-purity silica is a critical raw material for solar glass, advanced batteries, and energy storage technologies. Demand is soaring, while supply chains outside of China remain limited.
• Vertical Integration: Homerun is not simply a mining play – it is building a vertically integrated energy materials business, including a 120,000 tonnes/year silica processing plant, a 365,000 tonnes/year solar glass facility, and partnerships with UC-Davis and the U.S. Department of Energy/NREL on advanced purification and storage technologies.
Brian Leeners, CEO of Homerun, emphasized: "This is another key step in growing and advancing our controlled resources within the Santa Maria Eterna District. Together with our other CBPM-leased resources and supply partnerships, we are establishing and consolidating multiple large, fully permitted sources of high-purity silica sand to support our processed silica, solar glass, energy storage, and advanced materials initiatives in Brazil for the next 100+ years."
The Bigger Picture
For investors, this announcement confirms that Homerun is executing on its 3-phase development plan:
1. Securing large-scale silica resources in Brazil.
2. Advancing permitting and infrastructure toward extraction and processing.
3. Capturing downstream value in solar, storage, and advanced materials markets.
With 6 profit centers tied to its silica base, Homerun is emerging as a unique, vertically integrated clean energy materials company positioned at the heart of the global energy transition.

Homerun: Unlocking a New Era in Advanced Materials and Energy
Homerun Resources Inc. has just unveiled its latest corporate presentation – and the roadmap could not be clearer: The company is on the cusp of transforming from a resource developer into a vertically integrated powerhouse in advanced materials and clean energy solutions. The new deck emphasizes both the scale of the projects underway in Bahia, Brazil, and the near-term milestones that investors can expect as Homerun moves from planning into execution.
At the heart of Homerun’s strategy is the Belmonte silica sand district in Bahia, Brazil – one of the world’s highest-grade and most strategically located deposits of high-purity quartz (HPQ) silica. With long-term supply agreements, government support including tax incentives and a land donation, and integration with Brazil’s national policy on strategic minerals, Homerun is positioned to capture demand from industries currently dependent on Chinese supply chains.
Why This Matters Now
Homerun is aligning with Brazil’s industrial strategy to add value domestically rather than exporting raw minerals. With full government backing, financing pathways through BNDES and Finep, and a unique geological advantage, the company is advancing a multi-pronged project pipeline: Silica purification, solar glass, energy storage, and renewable technologies.
The world’s demand for ultra-pure silica, solar glass, and advanced energy solutions is exploding. Brazil, already the largest solar market outside China, is doubling capacity and incentivizing local production. Into this perfect storm, Homerun is building the first fully integrated silica-to-solar ecosystem in Latin America.

Pending Milestones: What Investors Should Watch
Silica Purification Plant
• Target: First production late 2025 / early 2026
• Initial Capacity: 120,000 tonnes/year, scalable.
• Highlight: Producing >99.99% ultra-pure silica – the foundation for solar, semiconductors, and advanced energy storage
• Investor Catalyst: CAPEX decision, permitting approvals, financing announcements, construction kickoff
Solar Glass Manufacturing Facility
• Target: 2027
• Capacity: 365,000 tonnes/year – enough to disrupt Brazil’s solar glass dependency on China (currently 99% imported)
• Highlight: Multiple LOIs already signed, including minimum 120,000 tonnes/year at $750 USD/t
• Investor Catalyst: Feasibility study results, binding offtake deals, EPC contracts, BNDES funding updates
Enduring Energy Storage System (TES)
• Target: Pilot commercialization underway
• Highlight: Developed with NREL (U.S. Department of Energy); lower CAPEX, 30+ year lifespan, scalable to utility scale – a true alternative to conventional batteries
• Investor Catalyst: Pilot plant data, first commercial agreements, rollout of scalable storage solutions
Perovskite Solar + AI Energy Management (Halocell + Seis Solar)
• Target: Immediate expansion
• Highlight: Seis Solar brings 2,800 active customers and 70 million EUR in cumulative revenues in the last 3 years (2022-2024); Halocell adds breakthrough perovskite PV tech. Combined with AI energy trading and management, Homerun is building a recurring revenue engine
• Investor Catalyst: Closing of Seis Solar acquisition, SaaS rollout, commercialization of perovskite PV products
The Big Picture
Homerun is not just building mines or plants – it’s building an entire new supply chain for the clean energy transition:
• From raw silica extraction at Belmonte,
• To ultra-pure silica processing,
• To solar glass manufacturing,
• To next-gen solar panels and energy storage solutions.
This full-stack model gives Homerun the potential to capture value at every stage – and with Brazil’s government actively backing domestic value-add, the timing could not be better.
What’s Next for Investors
The coming 12-24 months will be packed with value-driving news: Feasibility study results, financing packages, construction starts, and first production timelines. If successful, Homerun will not only diversify Brazil’s solar supply chain but also become a first-mover in silica-to-energy solutions on a global scale.
For investors looking at the clean energy megatrend, Homerun offers early-stage leverage to a vertically integrated, government-backed growth story – with multiple profit centers, powerful partners, and first-mover advantage. Homerun isn’t just participating in the energy transition. It’s building it.
