RE:RE:News Out TodayHPQ’s outlook is very exciting, but just to avoid misunderstanding, $7 million investment in machine cost is for a 50 MT / year pilot plant. The 2500 MT / year will cost more than that.

HPQ will build a massive machine in Quebec, and sell these babies around the world for entrepeneurs. HPQ can certainly negotiate some sort of royalty program when selling a machine. They will also service the machines to make sure they always run clean.

- Planning the deployment of commercial - scale production systems (PUREVAP(TM) QRR 4.0) capable of producing 2,500 tonnes per year of high purity silicon material.
"With the PUREVAPTM GEN3 QRR pilot plant functional, HPQ is ready to disrupt Silicon manufacturing, an industry that still relies on a traditional process developed in 1899 to make silicon. The PUREVAPTMQRRpilot plant could not have come online at a more opportune time. Demand for traditional silicon is estimated to exceed 3.8 million tonnes by 20253. This represents an addressable market worth over US$ 10 billionbased on historical average selling price for 5.5.3 Si (98.5% Si) of US$2,600 per Tonne3, or over US$ 38 billion based on the average spot price for 5.5.3 Si of US$10,000 per Tonne obtained during Q4 2021 and Q1 20224. These numbers do not include demand that is about to come
