Homerun Resources Inc. (TSXV: HMR,OTC:HMRFF) (OTCQB: HMRFF) ("Homerun" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that road improvement works benefiting the Company's planned silica processing and solar glass industrial hub in Santa Maria Eterna, in the Municipality of Belmonte, State of Bahia, Brazil, are firmly underway.
The Santa Maria Eterna road project, connecting BA-274 and BA-982 and providing direct access to BR-101, the principal federal highway in the region, is being funded primarily by the Federal Government of Brazil through the Ministry of Transport, via the Union budget, with the State of Bahia acting as the executing entity. Recent field photographs provided to the Company show grading, compaction, material placement and water-truck operations along the Santa Maria Eterna corridor, confirming that road improvement activities have commenced on the segments that form the main logistics route to Homerun's Santa Maria Eterna silica project.

The 2026 draft federal budget (PLOA 2026) includes a specific road construction line item, "BA-274 (Santa Maria Eterna) - Entr. BA-275(A) (Itapebi)", under code 1C09 - Construction of road section, within the Ministry of Transport's investment program, with an allocated amount of R$15 million. This classification indicates that the initiative is financed predominantly with federal fiscal-budget resources ("recursos próprios" of the federal treasury). While this BA-274 / BA-275 - Santa Maria Eterna item is not described in public documents as being exclusively or formally dedicated to Homerun's future solar glass plant, the route directly services the Santa Maria Eterna district and is highly supportive of the Company's long-term industrial development plans.
EXECUTION OF INFRASTRUCTURE COMMITMENTS UNDER THE MOU
As disclosed on May 13th, 2025 (News here), Homerun is party to a memorandum of understanding ("MoU") with CBPM (Bahia's state geological service and mineral assets company), Bahia state government entities, the Municipality of Belmonte and Bahiagás to advance the development of a silica processing plant and a large-scale solar glass factory in Santa Maria Eterna. Local municipal decrees and coverage of this MoU reference obligations that include land for the industrial site, as well as commitments to improve infrastructure and logistics access to the district, which implicitly encompasses road access to BR-101. This comes after Homerun's December 15th news release stating the Municipality of Belmonte's commitment and allocation of funding to the paving of approximately 5km of road connecting Santa Maria Eterna to BR-101, the main federal highway in the region.
The commencement of construction on the BA-274 / BA-982 connection is an important early demonstration of this institutional support. The works now underway materially improve all-weather access between Santa Maria Eterna and BR-101, reduce future haulage risk and logistics costs for potential silica and solar glass operations, and visibly anchor the region's transition toward an industrial hub based on high-purity silica and advanced glass manufacturing.
