Phase 1 of a Three-Phase Vertically Integrated Purification Platform
Homerun Resources Inc. (TSXV: HMR,OTC:HMRFF) (OTCQB: HMRFF) ("Homerun" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that further to the News Release of May 20, 2026, the Company has developed the capital cost estimate (CAPEX) for the 350,000 tonnes per year industrial grade (3N) silica sand processing plant at its Santa Maria Eterna (SME) industrial hub in Belmonte, Bahia, Brazil.
This milestone marks another step forward in Phase 1 of Homerun's Three-Phase Integrated Purification Platform; a modular architecture that is designed to transform the Company's high-purity silica resources at SME into a vertically integrated advanced materials industrial hub – the Silica Valley of Bahia, Brazil.
KEY CAPEX HIGHLIGHTS (PRICES IN USD)
| CIVIL WORKS | $ 891,000 |
| MANPOWER & UTILITIES | $ 935,000 |
| CONSTRUCTION SITE | $ 239,000 |
| NEW PLANT | $ 535,000 |
| PROCESSING EQUIPMENT & FACILITIES | $ 5,899,776 |
| TAXES & FEES | $ 884,966 |
| TOTAL | $ 9,384,743 |
The plant, which will yield around 50 tonnes per hour of processed material, will accept raw silica sand from Homerun's high purity, low-iron SME deposit and produce a clean, uniform 3N industrial product suitable for solar glass manufacturing, industrial applications, and as primary feedstock for the future advanced purification circuits added in Phases 2 and 3.
"We are rapidly advancing our silica sand development pathway to primary stage 3N industrial grade silica. It is our plan that this will be one of the highest quality industrial silica sands in Brazil. The output from this primary purification plant will supply our industrial grade customers and our 1,000 tons per day solar glass facility, supporting our vertical integration strategy, and provide clean feed for our 4N and 5N purification processing and advanced materials initiatives in the Silica Valley Industrial Hub," stated Armando Farhate, COO, Homerun Resources Inc.

BUILDING A FULLY INTEGRATED MATERIALS PLATFORM
Homerun has spent the past two years systematically building the technical and commercial foundation for a fully integrated, multi-product silica purification platform, one of the few such platforms being developed to create security of supply outside of China.
CONTINUING SCOPE OF WORK
MIE has been engaged to provide a complete preliminary engineering package and capital cost estimate for the 350,000 tpy primary processing plant. The scope includes:
- Process flow design for a complete physical purification circuit (washing, grading, sieving, attrition scrubbing, classification, and drying)
- Plant layout and civil scope, including a 9-hectare facility footprint with primary storage in a purpose-built 52-metre diameter dome
- Storage and dispatch systems for treated product
- Procurement and supply input for major equipment
- Capital cost estimate (CAPEX) – COMPLETED JUNE 5, 2026
