HPQ Silicon Inc V.HPQ

Alternate Symbol(s):  HPQFF

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.

Today HPQ Silicon announced that they have Signed an NDA and Received a Request for 4N Silicon Material Samples from a World Leading High-Performance Materials Company

CEO Bernard Tourillon commented:“We were approached by a representative of the high-performance material company seeking samples of our 4N silicon material to test as feedstock to make silicon nitride ceramics . This is just one example of the many niche market applications that production from our PUREVAP™ QRR process can potentially supply. High Purity Silicon’s (4n+) potential is undeniable and generating serious industry interest, so our timing could not be better as this sample request from the HPMC confirms awareness of our unique silicon production capabilities at the highest enterprise levels across the wo rld..”


Hi developbc...I'm still invested, but had to take some profits before the downturn.  Can you clarify for me why a "small" 4N sample cannot be made/delivered now?  If HPQ already has the QRR tech, why does HPQ have to wait for the QRR pilot plant to be online first?  What am I missing?...Thanks in advance.  

Furthermore, based on my interpretation of Bernard's interview (starting at ~16m20s), it sounds like consistent production of future high purity 4N Si is no guarantee & the timeline for its production is anybody's guess.  I understand we are in the developmental stages, but the following comments from Bernard engender more questions than confidence for me.  He states:  "If the system worked in a small amount of time...as long as it (the QRR) produces 4N material, then I'm good & then we can start...".

As a small investor in HPQ, I honestly can't be too surprised why the sp has languished.  I think many are just getting frustrated with the yet-to-be-fulfilled promises.  I simply want to hear that a validated sample (nano or otherwise) has actually been received by a major player & considered either superior or acceptable.  That to me would be news release "worthy", & such a release would no doubt be the day this languishing sp can finally make a "sustainable" move in the right direction.  Maybe it's my personal impatience at play here, but it certainly appears impatience has company.  Nonetheless, I believe in the science & have maintained a position.  JMO.  Good luck..



Hi Cancerslayer, 

Actually the few mins proceeding that 16:20min mark Bernard talked about he is very confident and verified w Pyro 5 times that they will definitely getting the Gen 3 QRR up in running by end of Q1. So...within the next 6 weeks or earlier we should see. But in his defence and many other industries, covid/supply logistics etc... affected everyone's timelines. 
He also stated several times that even higher purity of 5-6N is possible with an additional step. So hence his statement a"t least 4N he is happy" makes sense to me bc the commercial applications are going to be huge.  
Sending out samples during Gen 1 makes no sense to any end user bc as Bernard stated many have succeeded at labscale but fail to scale. So for example ,once Gen3 QRR is up it will produce 50 metric tons per year which screams to the world the product produced is scalable not just some science project.  

I am stille extremely excited as Bernard stated: "The future of HPQ is looking very very promising because people are starting to realize that silicon, Fumed silica, silicon nano-powders are all materials that all have applications that are going to completely change the world. And one of the key aspects of this is having the ability to deliver these applications closer to end product " "HPQ is very well positioned!"
