RE:NR: Feds resume SDTC funding under NRCP.14 of the MD&A PUREVAPTM QRR FUTURE PROGRESS MILESTONES
Work done in 2023 having validated 100% of the project's critical milestones of the pilot plan project,
combined with the fact that the Company activities will be primarily focused on our Fumed Silica,
advanced silicon-based anode materials and hydrogen niches, the company's activities surrounding the
PUREVAPTM project will instead be focused on:
1. Finalizing an agreement regarding for the development of technologies for capturing CO gas
generated during the direct carbothermic production of silicon from quartz and its conversion
into solid carbon that can be reinjected into the next production cycle.
2. Securing grant financing for proof-of-concept studies concerning HPQ Green Silicon capability.
3. Launch of proof-of-concept studies for HPQ Green Silicon initiative. Centered on the capture of
CO gas generated during direct carbothermic production of silicon from quartz and either
convert it to solid carbon that can be re-injected in the next production cycle or combining it
with green hydrogen to produce green synthetic fuel.
The costs for achieving point 3 will be finalized once the agreement regarding for the development of
technologies for capturing CO gas generated during the direct carbothermic production of silicon from
quartz and its conversion into solid carbon that can be reinjected into the next production cycle is
finalized.
Regarding point 2, the Corporation will be seeking partial financing for these costs through a grant from the appropriate government authorities. Unfortunately, the activities of one of the main funders for this type of project, Sustainable Development Technology Canada (SDTC), are frozen until further notice due to internal governance issues at SDTC.
