HPQ Silicon Inc. (HPQ) is a Canada-based technology company specializing in green engineering of silica and silicon-based materials. The Company is engaged in developing, with the support of technology partners PyroGenesis Canada Inc. (PyroGenesis) and Novacium SAS, new green processes to make the critical materials needed to reach net zero emissions. Its activities are centered around the three pillars: becoming a green low-cost (Capex and Opex) manufacturer of Fumed Silica using the Fumed Silica Reactor, a proprietary technology owned by HPQ being developed for HPQ by PyroGenesis; becoming a producer of silicon-based anode materials for battery applications with the assistance of Novacium SAS, and Novacium SAS is engaged in developing a low carbon, chemical base on demand and high-pressure autonomous hydrogen production system. The Company operates in a single operating segment, segment, being the sector of the transformation of quartz into silicon materials and derivative products.

So you posted your DD a year and a half ago...and you stil have the same opinion...the share price history in that time...maybe the money disagrees with you...shares are still cheap...come back in a year and a half and price is several $$$'s a share... will the price be right then? Cheers, Nap

It is not because we do our DD and have a different opinion that we are basher;

Chalenge here is scalling up the technology and adoption by the industry;

Hope everyone the best - Was my post in 2015.

" Plasma technology for upgraded mgSi to UMG quality is not new and in lab scale does work. The problem is that the high surface contact you need to purify mgSilicon makes it impractical in an industrial scale, which is why these “revolutionary” processes that have been tried before have not taken off. We were involved in our previous life with using this technique at a silicon metal producer. We adapted an furnace with plasma and used it to purify silicon in a vacuum induction furnace. Again, the issue is that you must put the plasma in contact with a relatively huge volume of silicon in order to treat the entire batch and this is impractical.

Using quartz in a vaporization reactor is also something that has been worked on in the past years and basically is a derivative technology from the titanium sector. I am not sure of the industrial applicability mainly because the economics of scale for standard mgSilicon and polysilicon production are so large. As well, the production costs of such a new technology that is highly unproven will have to compete with ever lower production costs of Polysilicon. "

That DD comment was given to me by an executive who has more than 20 years experience in the industry:

Executive Director which specializes in industrial process design, knowhow transfer and engineering for metallurgical silicon and solar manufacturing technologies, and the interrelationship between the production of silicon materials and their downstream industrial performance in the solar, chemical and aluminum fields.

20 years of experience in various global pyrometallurgical and silicon based industries as well as in solar and silicon manufacturing developments in Brasil, Venezuela, Saudi Arabia, Trinidad, China, Malaysia, Iceland, Russia, Oman, Algeria and the UAE.
