MONTREAL, Oct. 11, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- HPQ Silicon Resources Inc (“HPQ”) (TSX VENTURE:HPQ)
(FRANKFURT:UGE) (OTC PINK:URAGF) is pleased to inform shareholders that HPQ and its subsidiary, Beauce Gold Fields
Inc, (“BGF”) have obtained the required final orders from the Superior Court of Quebec (commercial division) in connection with its
ongoing proposed plan of arrangement.
ANOTHER MILESTONES REACHED TOWARD SPIN OUT, LISTING AND DIVIDEND
With the court approval and the conditional approval for a new listing from the TMX: TSX Venture Exchange
(“Exchange”) now obtained, HPQ and BGF last key milestone is closing the ongoing BGF private placement.
Patrick Levasseur, President and CEO of HPQ Beauce Gold Fields stated, “Final Approval from the Court was
one the key listing conditions for BGF. We are getting closer to unlock the full potential value of the Beauce Gold property
through a fresh new entity that is starting with a tight capital structure.” Mr. Levasseur also stated, “The Beauce
is Canada’s last underexplored historical placer mining camp. It’s similar to the White Gold projects in the Yukon or the Cariboo
district in BC, that were both placer gold mining camps as well, but recently had major gold discoveries. Combining our large
claims holding in St-Simon-Les-Mines together with our increasing knowledge of the geology, we believe we have narrowed the search
in exploring for a hard rock gold deposit”
About Beauce Gold Fields
BGF is a wholly owned subsidiary of HPQ Silicon into which HPQ gold assets were transferred. Subject
to approval by TSX-V, HPQ is in the process of listing BGF as a new public junior gold company, following the approval by
shareholders during HPQ AGM held on Aug. 10, 2018, of the proposed terms of the plan of arrangement.
The Beauce Gold Fields project is a unique, historically prolific gold property located in the municipality of
Saint-Simon-les-Mines in the Beauce region of Southern Quebec. Comprising of a block of 152 claims 100% owned by HPQ, the project
area hosts a six kilometre long unconsolidated gold-bearing sedimentary unit (a lower saprolite and an upper brown diamictite).
Textural observations (angularity) of gold nuggets suggest a relatively proximal source and therefore a short transport distance.
The gold in saprolite indicates a close proximity to a bedrock source of gold, providing possible further exploration
discoveries. The property was also hosts numerous historical gold mines that were active from 1860s to the 1960s (see HPQ
SEDAR-filed report).

About HPQ Silicon
HPQ Silicon Resources Inc. is a TSX-V listed resource company planning to become a vertically integrated and
diversified High Purity, Solar Grade Silicon Metal (SoG Si) producer and a manufacturer of multi and monocrystalline solar cells of
the P and N types, required for production of high performance photovoltaic conversion.
HPQ’s goal is to develop, in collaboration with industry leaders, PyroGenesis (TSX-V: PYR) and Apollon Solar,
that are experts in their fields of interest, the innovative PUREVAPTM “Quartz Reduction Reactors (QRR)”, a truly 2.0
Carbothermic process (patent pending), which will permit the transformation and purification of quartz (SiO2) into high
purity silicon metal (Si) in one step and reduce by a factor of at least two-thirds (2/3) the costs associated with the
transformation of quartz (SiO2) into SoG Si. The pilot plant equipment that will validate the commercial potential of
the process is on schedule to start mid-2019.
