HPQ Beauce Gold Field Project Granted 100% Access to Private Properties on Strong Local Support

HPQ Silicon Resources Inc (“HPQ”) (TSXV:HPQ)(FRANKFURT:UGE)(OTC PINK:URAGF) is pleased to inform shareholders that the company has successfully completed its first social acceptability campaign in the municipality of St-Simon-Les-Mines in the Beauce region of Quebec.
HIGH SOCIAL ACCEPTABILITY: 100% ACCESS TO PRIVATE PROPERTY GRANTED
As per Article 65 of Quebec’s new mining law, HPQ required written permission from 24 individual private property owners, representing 32 different real estate lots, before being allowed access to their property to complete last year’s geophysics exploration program and plan further mineral exploration work on the claims held by HPQ subsidiary, Beauce Gold Field Inc.
HPQ launched and executed a successful awareness program in the area, obtaining the required written permission from all the private property owners.
Bernard J. Tourillon, Chairman and CEO of HPQ Silicon stated, “Uptaining 100% access is a testament to the social acceptability of the project and represents another milestone in the advancement of the Beauce Gold Field Inc spin out. Without social acceptability, completing the Spin out could have been compromised. Patrick Levasseur and his team did an incredible job presenting the potential benefits of the project to the local community.”
SUCCESSFUL TOWN HALL MEETING
In addition to one-on-one meetings with the 24 property owners, HPQ held a town hall meeting in Saint Simon-Les Mine on November 16, 2017. Over 70 local residents attended the “Chalet des Loisirs” to listen to HPQ President, Patrick Levasseur, speak for nearly three hours about the Company’s Beauce Gold Field project, answering questions and fully addressing peoples concerns.
