Homerun Resources Inc. Reports Discovery of HPQ Silica Sand in Multiple Locations on 100% Owned Tenements in Belmonte, Brazil
Vancouver, November 14, 2024 - Homerun Resources Inc. (TSXV: HMR) (OTCQB: HMRFF) ("Homerun" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that the Company has performed an exploratory auger drilling program on its 100% owned silica sand tenements in the Belmonte Silica Sand District and was able to identify HPQ silica sand exploration target volumes in multiple areas across the total 7930 Hectares.
HIGHLIGHTS:
- The concessions are contiguous to the quartzite stone operations of Saint Gobain (Brazil).
- HPQ silica sand is visible at surface across these tenements.
- The drilling was performed during a heavy rain season, which jeopardized recovery and caused water to limit the depth of several holes.
- Average results across all sampled drilling is 99.23% Si02 with best result being 99.80% Si02 all with very low impurities.
- Exploration target of over 200 million tonnes is projected within the concessions.

The drilling was performed during a heavy rain season, which jeopardized recovery and caused water to limit the depth of several holes. Nevertheless, there is no underground water in the drilling areas outside of heavy rain periods.

Samples were prepared by Homerun's geology team by sorting, homogenizing, composing, washing and bagging, and subsequently sent to SGS for Analysis. SGS uses the ICM42Q assay method, which was performed on pure SiO2 samples. The technique includes a multi-acid (HCl, HNO3, HCLO4 and HF) digestion with ICP-OES / ICP-MS finish. Table 1 below shows a summary of the obtained results:
| Element (unit) | Average result | Best result |
| SiO2 (%) | 99.23 | 99.80 |
| Fe (ppm) | 189 | 73 |
| Al (ppm) | 432 | 173 |
| Ti (ppm) | 302 | 78 |

Table 2. Depth and observations of drillholes
Satellite image analysis allowed our geological team to calculate the extension of the four sand occurrences as 9,914,354 m² (as detailed in Figure 4 above).
Based on the historical data and the previous work done by the Company in the Belmonte Silica Sand District, and using a minimum depth of 10 meters of silica sand occurrence with an average density of 2.2 t / m³, an exploration target of 218,115,788 tonnes can be set for the future development of these tenements.
"The work performed in this new area discovered by Homerun with great technical accuracy by our exceptional field geology group demonstrates that the Belmonte Silica Sand District has great potential to be exponentially larger than previously known, and developing our 100% own mineral rights will allow Homerun to strengthen the execution of its business plan with enhanced control and flexibility," says Armando Farhate, COO of Homerun.
